THE HERALD FOR THE CAMPAIGN.
We propose to furnish Pip HERALD during the present campaign, at the low
rate of TIHIiTY COll4, or for the remain
der of the year 1870 at FIFTY cents. We
do this in order that our' friends May
have the advantage of a live campaign
paper, at a very low .Price. TH>v HER
ALD will contain full informationaon
earning the ; political affairs' throughout
the 'State, and will, for that alone, be
worth more than the subscription price.
All the pending political issues will be
discussed, and no effort spired to make
it valuable as a party organ._ The pres
ent campaign will be interesting and im-
Pertant, and the general circulation of a
well-conducted and vigorous campaign
paper will do much to give success to our
party in this county.- We ask our
' friends to aid us in circulating THE HER
ALD, confidently believing that they will
thus greatly contribute to the election of
f Qtdir ticket; r.
OUR TICKET.
It bas been many years since as much
interest has been manifested in the nom
ination of a county ticket by the Repub
licans of this county, and we may Barely
say there never" was a tieket pre
sented by eitherVarty which is So entirely
free from objections as the One which
was placed in nomination last week. It
is composed entirely of men who are well
known throughout the county ; who have
been always identified with 01..1) Republi
can party, and who are' personally
free
,from reproach. They are men
who are everywhere recognized as
among the most upright and deserving
men in the county, and are those whose
pasi conduct affords a sure guarantee
that they will fill the offices to which
they base been nominated with entire
redit to themselves and to their party.
_lt is unnedessayy tcrspeak of their indi
vidual claims, but as that has grown into
a custom, we will-briefly refer to each of
the candidates.
James McCpdlisli, our nominee for
Msembly, has 'been for niany years an
active business man, and is-known and
esteemed throughout the county for his
integrity;-intelligence, 'and honor. His
long experience in business has made
him entirely familiar with the people.of
the county, and their Interests. His
character has alwas been above suspicion,
and he is just the man who may be safely
counted on to withstand the temptations
to which Legislators at. Harrisburg are
60 Much' exposed. Mr: MeCatidlish's
election is certain, if our friends through:
out the county'clo their . full duty. •
Our candidate for Sheriff, Mr, John
Fishburn, is well-known throughout the
county as a man of integrity and energy.
He has always been an earnest and
faithful Republican, and his nomination
over the other excellent men who :were,
bef e the -Convention, is the best proof
that h as the confidence and esteem of
the-party. Mr. Fishburn will make an
excellent Sheriff,, and our friends cer:'
tainly'knoW the importance of tloi office,
and hoW necessary it is that none but
good men be chosen to fill it.
Benjamin Erb, our candidate for Corn.
inissioner, is known as one of the moat
reliable and capable business:men in the
county. „He is extensively acquainted,
and enjoys the most unlimited Inspect of
the people. The office for which lie is
named is one of the most important in
the county, and no ono should be elected
to it who has not a largo experience in
practical business, and who is not thor
oughly honest. Mr. Erb possesses these
qualifications in a high degree, and the
people of the county cannot afford to
have him defeated.
The office of Director of the Poor is an
important one, and Mr. Abram Witmer
was very properly nominated for it. Ho
is thoroughly acquainted "with the man
ner in which our POOr Douse affairs have
been managed for many years. Igo woubj,
make a faithful, 'attentive, and compe
tent Director. Mr. Witmer has always
been an earnest and energetic -Republi
can, and his name adds much strength
to our ticket.
George Cleier, of Southampton, an old
and enthusiastic Republican, a man of
extensive business and - wide acquaintance
throughout the county, and an honest
and useful citizen, has been nominated
for Jury Cdpilllini01101%; His election is
sure.
James D. Rea, of Wostpentisholough,
our nominee for Auditor, is one of the
most Active young Republicans in the
county, and a gentleman of intelligence
and great moral worth:
Our old friend Jefferson Worthington
is too well known to the
_people of the
county to need commendation. He
wonld 'till, worthily, any place ou dm

THE CONGRESSIONAL. QUESTION
Last week Mr.: Bretton publicly an
nounced his .determination, not to eup
iiort the nominee of liie;paity for
gross iu,tbis District. Ho 'sets - forth:lMß'
reasons and grievances very gogently . ia
the following aitiele :
- . . ,-
'.A. telegram : from ' Newport ,to to the
Atorning Patriot announces that 'R. J:
Holden - lan 'was nominated by acclama
tion for Congress in Perry county, thus
determining the result in favor of Hal
deman, he having two out'of three conn
ties.' In view of this notion of the Perry
county convention, we desire to reiter
ate the views expressed by us last
week. Tho nominee for Congress being
conceded ,to Cumberland county, . and
Ar 9
;)
the Democrat party of ,Cumberland
county Lavin named John B. Bretton,
we will in• n event accede to the nein
ination of Mr. Haldeman. If Perry
county joins York county in this inso
lent attempt to dictate to us who shall
bp our nominee, it cannot fail to lead to
misunderstanding, confusion and disas
ter in the future. There is neither fair
ness, honor, justice nor courtesy in the
claim made by York and Perry counties
to nominate a candidate in our own
county in opposition to the expressed
will of our people, and it would be dis
honorable in us to submit to the claim.
From' every District in this county, and
from loading democrats of character and
position in the other counties, comes the
injunction to us to stand firm; and-this is
what.we intend to do. We have no dis
position to threaten or bluster;but at the
same time we do not like to be trampled
on. The Democracy of Cumberland
county_believc,that_they have the right
to name the candidate for Congress, and
they have no intention to tamely yield
that right. •
"We trust the conferees will be gov
erned in their action by higher motives
than personal 'feeling for any mere man.
This question has now assumed graver
proportions than thole of personal pre
ferment. It is a question of right,.just
ice and courtesy to Cumberland county,
and as such the conferees will have to
decide it, and for that decision they will
be held to a strict responsibility. John
B. Bretton is the ,regular nominee of
Cumberland county for Congress, and
those who pieced him in nomination will
'never'consent that another who claime.to
be a resident of our county shall be nomi
nated by the conference over Mr. Brat
ton's head. We fancy the honest De
mocreey of the District would have no
respect for us if we' übmitted to such an
outrage,--and - we - begthe conferees from
York and Perry to consider- the issue in
volved before they take action which
may endanger our representation from
this diAtrict." - ---- ' - 1
There is, doubtless, much truth and
force in what the PoJunta& says, and no
sophistry of the Ha`ideman party can
controvert it. The _respectable portion
Of the Democracy of the county are out
raged by Mr. Haldeman's nomination,
and aro in loner bound to resent it.
They swallowed his first nomination for
the sake of the party, l and now they find
him more exacting - Itt•ihis domande, and
more unscrupulous in the means used to
carry his ends, than ever. .-They must
now either resist at tho risk of a rupture
in their party, or they must tamely allow
themselves to be bound hand and foot,
and delivered over like slaves to tko
trading politicians, oftheir-part...
Our ROpublican fiiends have ne-part
- orlot in this fight. Mr. 13ratton is just
as much of a Democrat as Mr. Halde ,
man, and no Republican can vote for
'either for Congress without being recre
ant to his principles. It is our-duty to
make a -nomination. We must select the
vary best man in the district, and then
support him with our full strength. We
may or may not elect, just as it May suit
the Democracy•to prefer party Aifeceini to
tluS vindication of their rights. _ tut It is
none the less our duty to keep our own
organization intact, and be prepared to
be benefitted by the blunders and follies
of our opponents. - -
Minn was some rather loud bloiving
done4 . 3me weeks ago by our Democracy
that they intended to carry this county,
at-the coming election, by 1,200 majority.
We haven't heard any of this kind of
talk since the nominations have been
made. The Democracy are badly de
moralized, and are not dn crowing -humor
now. They have a Congressional squab
ble on hands that isn't satisfactory to
any of them. Their member of the
Legislature has been compelled to back
down from his , position on the railroad
swindle.' The happy family in the Com
missioners' office are telling more tales
out of school than are good for the party
discipline, and, altogether, a more dis
-tressed and demoralized crow of office
hunters hasn't been seen in these parts .
within the memory of the oldest inhabi
tant tl - ian are the Cumberland County
Democracy to-day. Now let our friends
„chi their whole duty ; work vigorously
'and earnestly for the election of our ex
collent.ticket, and we will rid our county,
of the worst lot of local politieians that
ever e.ylsted anywhere.
THERE are some sux , prising 'storieo
afloat concerning the disbursement of
tlni,County funds. It is said, 'on' ap
parently good authority, that the County
Comissioners paid $BOO to a certain
person in this county, who had been
promised the contract for a wooden
bridge, but tailed to get it because an
iron bridge was determined upon instead.
If this is the case, we would like_to see_
the voucher on which this amount was
paid, and know why it was done. Perhaps,
however, the story may not be true. I •
it it; not we would. be glad to give it a
square contradiction twit week. Will
FIHMO party interested please give us the
fads, and' we will state them gratui
tously. We don't want our county
fathers blamed with anything they are
not guilty of. Please lot us about
this story.
.fie soon as Mr. Bratton's . commumiCa
tionrilettlprlitifinTaiiiirs for the nomi
nation, was read in tho Perry County
Convention a motion was made that Mr.
Haldeman was tlni choice of that county,

THE WHITE MAN'S PARTY
•
Tnn old Democratic party haidisap

ago it'll Principles v'piiished. . Following
that its.power - Wank,d. t,Theri'earne de
. feat after,defeat. But still . the; old craft
'floated, withoUgh nokhirig but its name
was Seen above the dark watOrs in which
it stranded:- Now that is gone. A little
puny thing comes up to take its, place
that calls itself " the White Man's Party.,
It carries the worn and tattered banners
of the Old,Democracy. It is led by the
samo 'chieftain'', who, forlong years, have
marshaled forces for defeats. But it
struts, and capers, and swaggers, with
all.the air and pomp of the party that
has gone down to its grave. In fact it is
a more pretentious braggart -than its
forerunner. The old Democracy was
'content with moderate boasts. It only
Claimed portion. It only exacted
submission and power. It only pre
tende'd that its . mission was the correct
government of the country, ; and the
special guardianship of its constitution.-
- The, new - pretender -claims-"a -wider
field. It asks for power, .of course. It
Will take office, certainly. It has no
peculiar disrelish even for plunder,,. But
then its mission is still grander. It has
come to sate a rice. Yes, but where
fore. What race is 'endangered, and bj
what ? The white race is the ward of
the new power. For its ,special safety
has it been called into being. But the
Nthito race is great and powerful. Civi
lization mate almost entirely in its hands.
It has founded empires, and states ; it
has discovered and peopled continents;
it has brought the arts and sciences to
perfection; it has sent the true religion
to the ends of- the earth, and it guides
and controls, all nations of the world by
its power and wisdom. It might seem
that this race needed no champion ; 'that
its supremacy was assured ; that its power
would be as enduring as time itself.
no, there is danger. In -a nation
where this race hulls fullest development
has been'discovered the germ of its over
throw. In this great Republic there live
some men who are not °tits hue. There
are perhaps twelve in every hundred of
her citizens whose skins proclaim them
different from their fellows. For many
years these were chained in slavery, and
the land had peace. Now they are free.
They are ignorant ; they own nothing,
desire • nothing but to live like other
men. But -those who would steal from -
these newly made citizens, the title pa
pers of their liberties _pretend to fear
them: They cry aloud, that the supre
macy of the white race is endangered,
because justice has been Anne to their
former slaves. They extol the power
and ability of the white race, but pretend
to see danger to it from another, 10140
counts, scarcely one-tenth its numbers.
They insist that it'shall rob, oppress and
destroy, a weaker race to make sure its
ascendency. The party that comes with
such plans of safety, deserves the scorn
of honest Men. It insults the manliness
Of the race in whOse interest itassumes to
speak.
There is a white man's party, but it
needs no label to distinguish it. It needs
neither name neiltiture promises to com
mend it. It has taught the Nation honor
and justiee. It has saved the govern-
merit from the grftsp of treason. It has
festora peace and order to a distracted
and diidded-country. It is the 'party. of
the country, of the ago, of civilization,
and of jUstice. White pen should be
long to no other. Their interest, theftr
welfare and .their advancement must
rise Or fall with it. The party for the
white max, and for all men, is called Re
publican. •

LoNooN, August 22.—There is much
excitunient to-day in London over the
apparent. change of the Crown Prince's
plans. It is now reported that, instead
of attacking Chalons, he is attempting
to pass it as Metz was passed and march
ing straight upon Paris by the valley of
the Aube, Sezanne, and Coulommiers.
It is reported that MaoMahon and
Canrobert have broken up the camp at
Chalons, and are moving directly upon
the road taken by the Crown Prince.
The army of the Crown Prince- is es
timated at nearly or quite two hundred
thousand" fine troops, well appointed.
The French Marshals ate supposed to_
have an equal number of troops of the
lino ; but it is believed here that only
great-good fortune can enable the French
to step the 'Prussian advance much be
fore reaching Paris.
If the crown. Prince succeeds in evad
ing the French, it is thought in London,
Vint Paris, rather than stand a siege,
will capitulate when completely invested.
The siege guns of the Prussians 'are be
ing brought up rapidly. On the other
hand, Troehu declares that Paris Will
never surrender, and there are no signs
of alarn;t. or hesitation oh the part of the
provisional autherities or of_ people.
Preparations are making to cut down a
part of the Bois, de Boulogne, though
nothing has yet heen done. Foreigners
are hurrying away fromParis' by thou
sands. An extra boat has been put on
be service of the Channel at Boulogne
end at Calais. - ,
London is full of Americanii breathe
here by the war. They are for the most
part very bitter in denouncing Prussia.
and Count Bismarck. '
The English government is in constant
- communication - with the great powers
on the demands made by Prussia.for the
session of Alsace and Lorraine. A Cab
inet-minister to-day . said those demands
meant an European war, as neither Eng
land nor Russia-could for a moment
se
cede to them. The general sentiment
_here is that by making such demands
Prussia puts herself in the wrong and
-throws away the cause. ~.
The Italian government is putting the
army on a war-footing, "and an Italian
special envoy is expected in England at
once.
.
.England has taken no stops whatever
as yet 'tower& mediation. All,reports
to the contrary are utterly unfOunded.
I may go as far to say that at this mo
ment the attitude of the Prussian gov
ernment is changing the,whole tone of
serious English opinion, and that the
peace ofEurope as well as the safety of_
Paris may be held to be depending upon
the result of the decisive battle,which is
thought to be so near - at hand.
Thor Withdrawal of so many men from
active life is already inflicting_ great
distress on Germany. Business is at a
standstill. ..The . torrid - 6 losses of the
army are disturbing-- and alarming the
population. " The trains with the wounded
from the front are incessant on both
banks of the Rhine. Much indignation
is expressed in Northern Germany at the
marked indifference of Frankfort and
Mayence to the - appeals for "aid to- the
wounded.
There is a singular uncertainty as to
the position and purposes of Marsha
Bazaino. It was thought he was shut
up with his army in Metz, but it is now
stated that he is in the fieldmanceuvr
ing for a. now conflict on the ,Moselle
with the army of Von Steinmetz and the
remnant of the army of Frederic Charles.
It is said that Marshal Bazaino is ab
solutely out off from his resources. The
Prussians are between him and Paris.
MacMalion is also believed to be sur
rounded. The remnants of the regi
ments of cavalry, cuirassiers and lancers,
So terribly cut up in the late battleg., ar
rived in Paris last night, and Were re,
ceived with great enthusiasm.
The Prussians are surrounding Verdun,
which is imperfectly defended. A. rumor
which came from Luxembourg 'that the
Prussians had occupied Verdun is con
tradicted. The' two sons of Count Von
Bismarck,, officers in the Prussian army,
have both been wounded in the recent
battles. The Prussian cavalry was not
used to any eXtelit 'in the engagement
around Metz. Count Von Bismarck's
regiment, which has several times re
cently been reported !'totally annihi
lated, " has not yet,been under die.

MILITARY ENCAISLIIRRT AT MOUNT
MOLLY—Target Shooting for the Prize
Nedallt, 6.e.—Ou Saturday morning last
the Merohiinlcsburg Zouaves, a military
organization finin our sister town, went
into an encampment on land of Mr. Rob
ert Given, at litinint Holly. The camp
was situated stftne little distance above
the village, to the right of the pike, and
was a lovely spot of ground, being ad
mirably
.adapted for this purpose ; a
splendid aging of clear cold water within
a step of the Camp. .
We paid the' "Zou-Zous" a visit, and
was cordially. received .by officers and
privates, and found them to be a very
gentlemanly set of young men, bent on
having a few .days' recreation in the
"wilds and fastnesses" of Holly.
The Encampment was known by the
name of Camp -Russell. • There were
about 25 tents erected, which had been
furnished by the State, and wore laid out
in company streets. ' The following wore
designated as the hours of service:
Reveille, 5 a. in. ; breakfast, 6 a. m. ;.

dross parade, 6 p. m. ; tattoo, 19 p. m. ;
taps; 11 p. in. On Sunday drill and tar
get practice was omitted.
On Saturday afternoon there was target
shooting for the silver and leather medals,
every member of the cotnpany participat
ing. The target was placed at a dis
tance of 100 yards. The silver medal
was won by L. F. Houck, ho having
made the three best shots. This medal
was 21 inches in diameter, and about
ono-fourth of-an inch in thickness. ~,Tho
hamilesi shot was inadooq:E. D: Lo
man, to whom was awarded the leather
medal. Out of about 150 shots that were
fired, but 30 struck the board.
While

- with . some choice "music -by the string
baud, composed of members of . the com
pany,. Also, witnessed the boys sending
several of the members ; as well as out-
Alders " in a blanket;' these. efforts
were well,received by, every one present,
and occaslened a great deal of merriment.
• There were only nine typos with the
company, wldch Was doing very well,
we thought. Serg'eant Zimmerman will

Tho funny- man:was there, of course,
in the person of PoLo S. and ho is an

sell ; the number of spectators present at
dress parade on Saturday evening being;
estimated at 150. Several parties visited
the camp on Sunday from Meohaniestirg,

Tug South Mountairi has been on fire
for several days past, causing the horizon
to present the appearance, similar to
Indian Summer. The sun, morning and

amount of damage sustained by the con
flagration.
REPAIRES.—Wo notice the employees of
the Cumberland Valley Railroad huslly
engaged in re-laying the planks on Main
street, immediately in - front of the pas
senger depot. Right; the one late in ,
use had become considerahly out of place,
and needed "reconstruction" very badly
indeed.
IME:1
TILE alarm of fire on Monday — evening
last, was occasioned - by the burning of a
few hats in the window of a millinery
establishment -on North-Hanover street.
The flames were speedily extinguished
through the efforts of a citizen, and two
officers from the Barracks. It was
caused by the negligence of a little col
ored girl that had been left in charge of
the store.
SAD CASE OF DnowniNa.—William F.
Beepers, aged twenty-one years, was
drowned in the Schuylkill river, at Phila.-
delphia, - while in a skiff alone, on Thurs
day evening of last week. The deceased
was well-known in this community,
having served - sometime at the tinning
trade in - the employ of John D. Cknas.
-He resided with his mother in the city,
at - the time of the sad occurrence. His
body has not yet been recovered.

LlVERY.—Sunday last was a day of
great pecuniary profit to livery mon, and
all other individuals keeping horse flesh
for hire. Every describable vehicle
imaginable, was brought into requisition,
by parties intending to visit camp meet
ing. Ambulances were run
,during the
day from thin place, one dolbir for the
round trip being charged. Fiom early
morn until late at night there was one
continual stream of vehicles, of every
description, through our town.
NEW BOSINESB FOR A SILERIFF.
From our Lancaster county exchanges,
we learn that thelTheriff of that county
was engaged in a now businesaim Tee's
day of last week. It appears that Sheriff
Myers received authority from parties in
Philadelphia, to levy upon the cirens,de
partment of Gardner Ss, Forepaugh's
"Model Circus and Menagerie." The
execution was against Dan: Gardner and
John For C epaugh, and amounted to sl4,_.
000. ,We wonder if the remnant of a
show that passed through this Place
on Monday last had any connection with
the above-named establishment?
I=l
CORNER STONE LATINO.—Tho corner,
stone of the Now Bethel church, in course
of erection in Plainflold, was laid on Sun

were listened to with marked attention
by about, .five hundred. persons. This

centre of the little village, and on the .
north side of the road. It - is contempla
ted to have the building completed some

place, on his return from_ visiting a pa

Petersburg, was •attacked in the moun-.
lain, a short distance beydnd Holly, by
an armed 'ruffian, who demanded his
money. The Doctor is a man of consider
able nerve, and was thereby enabled to
escape a conflict by the exhibition of hie
presence of mind.
As ho reached the top of the high hill,
the would-he robber rushed out into the
road, *ltha revolver in ono hand, and,
as nearly as thd Doctor can tell, with ,a

PLUMBING AND GAB FITTING:--We
would ball attention to thaadvertisement
of iffessrs. Caniphell & FlOnwoonl, under
the head of "now to-day." It will be
seen that they arb fully prepared to at
tend to the different branches of their
business. They *ill bo found not only
"Still at Business," but "all the time
at Business." They are both active en
ergetic business young men, and are
worthy the• support of persons _wishing
anything in their line of trade. None
but competent workmen are employed,
and they warrant satisfaction in every
instance. Give them a call at their
shop, in the basement of Sipe's New
Building, No. 18 North Hanover street.
. PAINFUL ACCIDENT.—Mrs. Elizabeth
Synder,. an aged lady residing on East
Louther street, met with a severe accident
yesterday morning. She had•gotten up
about four o'clock, in order to do her
'marketing, and in going down stairs her
feet slipped from under her, and she was
precipitated to the landing below. ' Her
screams . awakened her daughter, who
was sleeping at the time in an adjoining
room, who hastene&to her relief, when
she was taken up in an almost insensible
condition. W. Bender being sent for,
soon arrived, when it was ascertained
that she had broken the. right arm be
tween the wrist and elbow, besides sus
taining some very' severe bruises. The
fractured limb was speedily restored to
its proper Position, and she is now doing
as well as can be expected.
Picnibs'.—A pleasant picnic was held
at Craighead's woods, on, Thursday last,
by a number of families in the southern
part of the borough. The participants
left town early in the morning, and re
turned as the shades of evening began to
gather round, well pleased with their
picnic, and the manner in which the day
had been passed.
Tin First LUtheran Sabbath School of
Harrisburg "picniced" in a beautiful
grove, a short distance east of Mechanics
burg, on Thursday last. An idea of the
number present can be formed, when we
mention the fact that'all the extra pas ;
senger cars belonging to the , Cumber
land Valley Railroad were called into
requisition, and they were then obliged
to obtain the use of additiondl cars from
the neighboring companies. There was
in the neighborhood of twelve hundred
persons present. No accident occurred
to mar the festivities of the day, and
everything passed off pleasantly, and to
the entire satisfaction of all interested.
.CAMP MEETINGS:—The Camp Meeting,
held in H. Kanaga's woods, near Now
Kingston, under the auspices of St.PauPs
Evangelical Association, has been well,
a •nded. It is estimated that thM7e
were between five and seven. thousand
persons present on Stbbath. The ut
most good order 'prevailed, which was
remarkable, asithero was no police pres
ent. This meeting, 'we are told, has
been productive of much good.
TnE camp meeting of the Church of
God denomination hold near Shiremans
town closed on Thursday night last. We
understand great success attended the
efforts of those having the meeting in
charge. The behavior of the audience
was very good, there being none of
the rowdyism and dissipation which
generally attend meetings of this kind.
There were about eighty tents erected
during the progress of the camp.
A CAMP MEETING under the auspices
of the same denomination will be held on
Clippinger's farm, about four miles dis
tanrfrom Shippensburg, '-‘cpmmencing
to-morrow, (Friday,) to continuo one
week. It is expected there will be at
least fifty tents erected. •
FAIGHTFUL RUNAWAY—Nitrreto Escape
of the Dricer.—On Tuesday morning last,
about o'clock, a mare attached 'to the
Milk wagon of the Messrs. Wetzel, and
driven by lifr.-„,Tos. Wetzel, became
frightened at the.; care, and run away.
Thd occupant was seated in a bar room
chair at tho time she started, and the
suddon — MSPdtus given to the 'wagon
;throwcd him out of the chair, and placed_
him hors du. combat on his back, but,
fortunately for him, ho 'had preSepoo of
mind to retain his hold Of the lines. The
animal started on• West street, in the
beigborhood of the College, and was not
checked until in the vicinity of Shapley's
Fort. The run off was witnessed by
- many-of-our_citizens, wins could render
no assistance, owing to the rapid rate of
speed at which the mare was going;
fears were entertained for the safety of
whbse situation was perilous in
the extreme, but we aro able to state,
that he escaped without the slightest
injury—excepting that his clothes were
thoroughly saturated with milk, the
cans having boon overturned, and the
emittntS.s i • 4hailoonoMhimagov
o seldom witness our milkmen going
over their routes as hastily as did Mr. W.
on the morning in question.

PARADE OF AMERICAN MECUANICB AT
BOILING Srumes.—On Saturday last was
witneped ono of the finest displays, by
secret societies, over made in any country
town. Boiling Springs Connell, N 0.132,
0. U. A. M., had the preparations in
charge. Early in the morning the dele
gations began to arrive, and by the final
the procession was to be formed about
nine lodges were represented. The hour
for•the formation ottho procession being
at band, it was formed in the following
order : • •

Carlisle^ Brass Braid.
Cliicf Marshal and Assistants.
Marion
Marion Council, Jr., Carlisle..
. Carlislo ,
B. uttstewn Brass Enna.
•
Baldwin Council, York. county
Delegations from Mechanicsburg,

and Shippeniburg.
oiling Springs Council.
-After marching through the different
streets, the procession was halted- in•
front . of the hotel, whore 4)..,D..llfaglaugh
lin °sq., of this place,qind Dr. 'Mower, of
Boiling Springri; addressed the assem-.
bled Mechanics. Tho speakers handled
their subjects in a very able' manner,
and wore received with repeated ap
plause. •• On , the conclusion, having'
tended - to - the ' Wints'of 'the inner - num;
the different Councils returned to their,
homes, well pleased Wlth• the cuicrehlos
of the occasion.
Wrum Dons'iT'Afrin;--:On Monday
morning last, between 6 and 7 o'clock,
three two r htinse wagons,:' in. charge .of
their drivers,: passed through thil place.
They were,iiiideubtedlyfe—fi'a'grnents
of some Circus or Menagerie ; at least
the wagons , gave evidence of having been
used by some person or. company lately
engaged the show business. They
made a halt in front of the "Franklin"
House, when the occupants of wagon No.
1, alighted and proceeded to the bar to
quench their parched lips,-having had
nothing to drink since Saturday. One
of the drivers informed ns,.that "they
were on their way to Ohio, to attend the
State Fair." He also informed us that
it was a "side-show." They intended
to proceed 'as far as Shipponsburg on
Monday. It 4l was, decidedly, the most
dilapidated-.aide-show that ever we had
the pleasure of gazing upon. Wagon
No. 1, contained the canvass, tont poles,.
Sce. No. 2, contained some of the ani
miles, a buffalo, or a grizzly, 'or some
other living wild animal. No. three,
contained more animals. The horses
wore, to all appearances, conipletely worn
out, and the wagons looked as if they
were ready to tumble to pieces. It is
the first time, to our knoWleilge, that a
circus, animal show, or side-show passed
through Carlisle: without . exhibiting.
We repeat, what does it mean, why this
haste? Why not stop, gentlemen and
exhibit your living curiosities ; you
would, doubtless, have made expenses.
Why the Cardiff Giant man remained
with' us a day, and afforded our citizens
an opportunity of witnessing the great
dead wonder of the age. In addition,
too, this was Court week, and our county
was well represented from the different
sections, upper and lower end, and the
centre. Besides it would have been no
trouble to haVe obtained a location in
the centre bf our town, without being
obliged to seek the suburbs. The Car
diff Giant agent, or the agent of Dr.
Thayer's Circus will bear ns out in this
point of order.'

the announcement of the sudden death

well-known citizen of our borough, The
particulars attending his. death, as nearly
as we are able to ascertain, are about as

Muse, whore he had been seated for a
short time, and walked over to C. Inhoff's
grocery to transact some business,
ap
parently enjoying his usual good health.

spark left its frail abode.

SPORTING GREEN PICNIC.
MR. EDITOR :—Last week, as you are
aware, a notice appeared in your paper,
stating that there would be a social picnic
held in that beautiful grove, known as
Sporting Green, on the eighteenth inst.
Well, the day came, and with it old Sol
to dawn upon awicked world, in all his
splendor, giving pleasure seekers assur
ance of fair weather. Carlisle being the
birth-place of "Sixteens," of course,was
expected to send a few delegates. AC
cordingly about noon the gentlemen were
seen making up "light loads" sor a day's
pleasure and luxury among the giant
oaks of Sporting Green. -
Upon reaching the.grounds where each
lad and lass was expected to eat, dance,
and make merry, we found that we wore
just in time to be early, as only a few had
arrived before us. By three o'clock
quite a number of ladies and gentlemen
were on hand, all eager to start the ball
rolling, and at four o'clock the fleet quad
rille was called. Now, was an opportu
nity offered us to take, a glance around
to see and pass our judgment, as to whom
we considered the "belle of the evening,"
and we availed ourselves of it, and—note
you think you'r goin' to find out who' it
was, don't you? but you ain't 'cause we'
never commit ourselves upon Such tick
lish subjects; she might have beeno,resi
dent of ' Carlisle, she might have hailed
from Mechanicsburg, or Harrisburg,. per
Maps from a city, or it might have been
an angel from the immediate neighbor
hood. But it's useloks- to, try to got us
to tell who she is.---Dancing was' kept
up until silt o'clock, when supper was_
announced, and as the crowd - passed to
partake-of-the,--collation,--oineyes-fell
upon the hello.
I saw her but a moment,
- • - -But methinks I see-luq still.,',' - '
Supper having been disposed' of, the
gentlemen indulged iu a smoke, and Mr.
gave us a short, but spirited ad
dress, returning tho thanks of the com
mittee, &c. Not being present at the
time tho speaker delivered his address,
we are elVio„,..to4lion.u.recde
leWita: — &Wilco it to say, that ho was
repeatedly interrupted by loud and con
tinued applause, and the speech wlis well
received by the vast assemblage.
The committee acquitted themselves
with dying colors, and if they succeed
as well in all their undertakings as they
did in this ono, they. have in contempla
tion a joyous future. •The ladies having
1103V'be6u. rested, the fiddle-bow greased,
the dance , was resumed, and continued '
until a late hour. Everything passed
air as merrily as a marriage boll. In
short, we crowded life.. Without inter
mission we fed our mental furnaces with
the pitch-pine of excitement, and the
consequence will be, that too many et
us may collapse long before the time
when we might be expected to succumb
to the regular wear and tear of the voy
'ago of life.'" We are nothing moro than
a machine, built upon tho compensating
principle'. Its tendeuey to whiz must to
restrained and regulated; otherwise,
something is sure to snap prematurely,
and the wonderful work be suddenly
shattered.
Wo would be doing groat injustice wore
'we to 'pass this occasion by without no
tieing the musio furnished by the Car
lisle String Band. The dancing was un
der the leadership of that.pionecr in the
"calling of figures," Air. James Spang
ler, of Carlislo. The music chosen be- '
ing very appropriate, and displaying the "
good taste of the band in their,sol &bons.
All hands loft Sporting Green 'fully
satisfied that the day had been agreea
bly if not profitably spent. Should there
be another (picnic given in that beauti
ful grove, and it should be our good for- '
tune to feceive an invitation, our sMil.
Mg-countenance will be visible there.
A member of the committee infornia
us that "some collateral,'" amounting to '
a. few dollars, remaining- after all ex- -
panties wore deducted, have boon donated
to the treasury. of dui Soldiers' Aionu
mutt Assodiation.of this. county, -
is a commendable idea, And deserves the
praise of our monumentaLloying citizens •
