OUR STATE. CONVENTION
The Republican State Convention will
meet at Harrisburg, on Wednesday, the
seventeenth instant to nominate candi
date's fdr .6..uditorand_Surveyor_General ,
As the election for ,these officers, will,
doubtless, be the battle-on which 'the for
tunes of the next Presidential' campaign
will turn, the Action of that convention as
sunies a very unusual importance. There
may be limes when a political contest
may not 'affect anything of greater con
sequence, than the success or failure of a
few Politicians, but the one in which . we
are now engaging must, necessarily, in
volve the interests of the entire country.
There has been no time since the slose
of the'war when a Republican triumph
was more necessary to the peace and wel
fare of the nation. Emboldened by tome
trifling successeand sure of the support
of the enfranchised rebels of the South,
thO Democratic leader's aro prepared to
advocate and sustain measures which
must necessarily involve a re-opening of
the old issues, now so nearly adjusted
forever. The whole question of recon
struction, and all -the questions which
affect our Natibnal finances, and credit
would again be opened, should the De
mocracy triumph. The evils attending
renewal of these old' controversies,
would be incalculable, and they might
eventually load to another rebellion.
The safety of the Nation, to Say nothing
of its future, prosperity, imperatively
demands the continuance of Republican
rule.
To make success assured, in 1872, it is
necessary that there
,should be a com
plete Republican victory in Pennsylvania,
at the coming election. FOr Many years,
this State has decided PresidentiaL con
tests, and its influence in the coming
struggle will be as potent as over before.
Tho Democracy are keenly alive to this
fact, and will make most extraordinary
eiforts to defeat us, iii both the present
and coming campaigns.
In view of these admitted facts it be
comes the duty of the State Convention
to consider well their action. It is of
the most vital importance that all the in
terests of the party should be harmon
ized by the selection of such candidates
as will add strength to the party, and on
whom all can unite in a determined ef
fort to achieve a victory. One-half of the
fight is already won if the Convention
act harmoniously and wisely in the se
lection of candidates. • - -
TAX COLLECTORS REVIVED
The people of this county have been,
for-years; relieved of what is always re
garded as an insufferable nuisance—we
mean tax-gatherers. t On fixed days the,
Treasurer has met the people of the dif
ferent boroughs and townships, at some
_convenient place, and received from them
the amounts assessed for State and Coun
ty purposes. This method of collecting
was admirable in all respects. It pro
moted promptness in the collection ()film
tax from tho tax-payers, aisd made it
certain that the tax when collected was
prompPy in the hands of the person
Whose duty it was to pay it out. It pre
vented many losses on account of de
faulting collectors, and often great de
lay in getting the money out of the hands
of those who Were smart enough to use
it for their own purposes as long as pos
sible. It also saved fully three per cent
on the direct cost of collection.
We believe, firmly, that not one man
in ten in the county desired to have
this law repealed. Its benefits were so
manifest, and the defects of the collector
system - so.upparent, that there could be
no doubt as to the favor with which it
was regarded. But the people's desires
are not often - consulted by the liolitiCians
who run the machine in this county.
The new system made one office' less
in each township. There was one place
less'to be filled, and consequently the
hungry fellows became noisy. They
quietly determined, that there should be
tax-collectors, arid haVing 'so determined,
they gave our Senator .and member to ,
understand, that if a bill were not passed,
restoring the office of collector of taxes,
there would be trouble when these .
gentlemen amps up a g ain for office.
Of course this reasoning was conclusive,
and the consequence is, that a bill has
been passed, and is now in the hands of
the Governor, providing for the cle6ion
of collectors of the State rind county
taxes, in each borough 'and township.
It is most lamentable, that this unmiti
gated nuisance, and useless expense
must be saddled on the people of the
county, without .their desire, and in
opposition to their wishes. But as king
as they see fit to entrust their legislative
business in the hands of Democratic
politicians they may look for just such
performances.
WHEN Andrew Johnson was swing
ing_arouud the circle, in 18G0, the Demo
cratic Council of Harrisbur i g.„entortained
- him and his party in great style, at the
Bolton' House. With •characteristic
• .negligence, those patriots forgot to foot
the bill for the entertainment. After
Mr. Holton had waited, until patience
bad ceased to be a virtue, ho began a
suit against the reception committee;
Which .Was, last week, decided against
him. This is about the' smallest piece
of business we bsvo heard of for a long
time. The farce of supporting Johnson's
administration, for the purpose of Appro.
. printing • his offices, was ;despicable
. enough,•but doesn'tquito equal the mean
ness of cheating a hotel keeper out of his
bill . ;:lor'clining and wining a st of Demo

HARRISBURG LETTER.
IlAnnasnuna, May 9, 1871
The Legislature is-now at work under
a full head of steam, and the chances are
that the session oflB7l ts rapidly near
ing its close. This good result has been
brought about, in a great measure, by the
firmness and determination of 'the Re
publicans. After they had secured their
Apilortionment bill; purely by a persist
ent blocking up of legislative business,
the Democratic patriots of the Senate
determined that they Would.try the dead
lock once more. So they determined
they would act - - on no House bills until
the Governor bad signed the Apportipn
ment bill, and the House had agreed to
so modify the election law as to enab
them to carry the city of Philadelphia
by frauds. But forbearance and com
promise had ceased to be a virtue with
the Republicans and they in turn refused
to pass any Senate bills until the Senate
would act upon those already passed by
the House. They also held a caucus, and
determined td issue an address to the
people setting forth the position of af
fairs, and showing who, were responsible
for this etiminal neglect of business.
And better than all else, they resolved
that they would make no Modification
whatever of the Registry' Law,
The Democracy found they were ma
ted; and believing discretion the better
.part of valor, backed down from their
high resolve and went to work. Each
House is now passing bills with the
greatest rapidity possible, and although
a very large number remain undisposed
of, and in every conceivable stage of prep
aration, -a few days of active work, will
to a groat extent clear the calendars.
On Wednesday of last week, the House
voted to adjourn on Tuesday next, sik
toenth instant, and although the Senate
Was not yet acted on the resolution, it is
thought It will concur. •
Tielegislation has not been of any
general interest or importance. ,Ninne
teen-twentieths of the bills are of a pri
vate character, and really corigern no
one outside of the localities fk which
they belong. Thi3 Border Raid bill has"
been reported iu the House, and may, or
may not come for final action, as those
who are interested in it, are much dis
gusted and disheartened by the shape in
which it passed the Senate. The Local
Option bill has had the breath completely
crushed out of it in the Seine?, a result
which surprised no one, except 'those
Awed ulous_ individuals_who_ preteud_to
hope that any good can come out of the
Democracy. The Philadelphia Building
Commission bill was repealed by the
Senate, by almost a unanimous vote,
and will most likely meet the. same`fate
in the House. The Bates, History busi
ness was also closed up iu the Senate,
by the passage of an act providing for
the payment of that work at the rate of
14.75 per volume.
It is evident that the Nino Millions
bill will not be offered during the session.
For the last two months its appearance
has been looked for daily. All sorts of
rings and combinations have been formed
for the purpose of taking the bonds from
their hiding-place, but it is now evident
that the conspirators have given up the
scheme. So the tax-payers may con
gratulate themselves that their property
will remain untouched for anodic - r year,
and that there are still some chances
that the proceeds of the 1411) of their
public works will not be turned over to
the tender mercies of corporations, which
have at present only their names to.
identify them. For this good result
they are more indebted to' the honesty
of their, Governor, than to the wisdom
of their legislators.
LABOR REFORM.
Speech of Governor s Geary at Harris
burg, Saturday evening, May 6.
FELLOW CITIZeNS :—At the urgent re
quest of your Committee on Invitatioh,
I consented to meet the labor organiza-,
tions of thiS city and its vicinity this
evening. This I have done; • although I
might'well have pleaded as a reasonable
excuse for not doing so, the vast pressure
of official business by which I am at . this
time surrounded. The glorious princi
ples upon which our Government was
founded, enunciated by its framers
nearly a century • ego, I believe to be
true, " that all men are, created' equal ;
that they are endowed by their Creator
With certain inalienable lights ; that
among these are life, liberty and the pur
suits of happiness. That to secure these
rights, governments are instituted among
men, deriving their just powers from the
consent of th e goveined. '', Ili pirery con
flict waged fur the rights of men,' either
'in resistanceto oppression, or., to make
way for new truths, the world is a gainer.
Under' such principles what . eon be more
sublime than the efforts of it people whose
object is to elevate all the interests of
humanity, nub to advance and purify
-the Government under which they live.,
Such, I am informed, is the - purpose, and
such I hope and believe is the •destiny of
the great Labor Reform movement now
in progress, not only in this .country,
but throughout the civilized virOrld. And,
those who have this moventent in 'charge
must not be unmindful of the responsi
bilities which devolve upon them, for all
its consequences for good or evil has been
confided to them. While there may be
disagreements : as to the course and,
means to accomplish its objects,, one
great duty is clear, thnt you must held.

does:it most discreetly. as well. as . nest

the country, when seeking to better 'hie
I condition, surely has a just cause, and as
the labor of his hands is his capital, ho
is justified in' making the most strenuous
exertions to get as much for it as he cap
command. lc,. will I say ho is not
prudent in combining with othera . to ao:
complish his object The plain purpose'
of all the privileges conferred by acts of
incorporation, is to insure for corporate
poivers what money itself does net pos
sess." Mimillactiring, mining;' trans.:
Portittion and banking aro - now carried
on most extensively under corporative
privileges granted by the State. Why
are Those privileges so coveted and so
eagerly sought ? Why are nine bills out
1 of every ten passed by the . Legislature,
acts of incorporation, or conferring ear
porate • powers? Simply because such.
powers protect capital and facilitate its
accumulation. ``Under this system of
legislation, theta has grown up a; mid
titude of State organizations for busi
ness more potential in their financial' in
fluence and monied power than the Corn
monwealtls which gave them existence.
I do not make this statement as a:re-.
preach to the State which gave existence
to these corporations, or as an attack on
• such bodies for their manner of doing
business. I only show by facts what
can be achieved by combination: The
capitalist has discov'erechtliat "in Union
there is strength." Why then blame
labor for having learned to appreciate
the same truths? As I understand it,
you have combined, not to draw bills of
credit, not to take deposits at low rates
of interest, and loan them again at.
orbitant prices, not to charge five-fold
prices for your labor, not to resist and
stop the highways for the public con
venience, not to speculate on the neces
sities of the poor, not to starve men, wo
men and children into abject submission,
not to monopolize the use of any of the
material resources of the State, but
simply to secure for your labor wages
adequate to Meet the necessary demands
anon you for the support and education
of pour families. You do not propose to
interfere with any of the schemes of the
capitalist to enlarge his franchises or in
crease his treasures. You simply ask
the common rights enjoyed by all men,
to secure the fair andjust fruits of your
daily toil. Those who would attempt,
either by the misinterpretation of the
powers they now possess, or by securing
additional prerogatives at the favor of
legislative bodies, to deprive the labor
ing man of this right, am they who' in
vite to revolution and force by corrupt
ing free government. I do riot assert,
my friends, that such has been, or is the
case. I only infer possibilities ; but
whatever may happen, let it be fully
understciod, that under no circumstances,
can the law of thisland be violated with
impunity. That which I would not per
mit ill a corporation seeking to oppress
labor, I dare not, as a sworn. officer of
the law, encourage in an association,
drawn to,gether for mutual benefit, when
in pursuit of that object, it seeks to
interfere with the personal rights of
other citizens. While one set of men are
legally entitled to obtain as much for
their lobar as they can command, they
have no right to coerce other men to ad
here to the same rate of wages. The
first may refuse to work with the last,
but they have not the moral or the legal
right to interfere with the labor of those
with whom they work as to wages. It.
is my duty to, make this point perfectly
plain. Whenever a combination of men
seeking an object, violently interfere,
with other men who are pursuing their
industry for such wages as they are
fo take, the act is' a conspiracy
amounting to crime against law _and
order ; and law and order must be sus
tained at all liazards. This is stern talk,
my friends, but as it is not my' habit to
deceive those with whOm I am called to
deliberate, I do not propose to delude
you by false and specious advice. I speak
thus emphatically out that wo may per
fectly understand each other, and that
you May be guided in the right. I did
not come here to•night to dissuade you
from doing your duty to yourselves, but
to encourage you in this right. You-are
too intelligent and have too much manly
firmness for any man thus to attempt to
lead you ; but—you- can appreciate / the
truth when you reflect that your govern
ment is ono of law, and obedience to'tho
law is essential to the success of the gov
ernment. Without a government labor
and capital would both be in eternal
antagonism, without a hope of ever com
ing to terms. But with a government
respected and the law obeyed, both these
elements aro secured in their rights. I
never want to see the day when any por
tion of the Afiterican people have be
come so wrong in their views, and 'so
desperate in their character as to oppose
legal and official authority, I have seen
enough of this already, arid know what
it• Costs to punish those who make such
attempts. May God deliver this nation
from ever again being forced into civil
wars
Thanks to the framers of our laws,
you have a remedy at • the ballot-box,
for whatever wrongs or oppressions you
may suffer. The elective franchise was
given to meet precisely such cases as
yours. You have votes, and must 'cast
them for your own benefit, If you want
representation, learn whom to trust, and
when you know a man to be faithless to
your interest, or you are eertaln he is
unworthy of your confidence, don't , vote
for him. The calm and intelligent . use
of the ballot is infinitely more mighty as
a revolutionizer in the interests of labor
than riot and. bloodshed. We aro only
just entering on the period of a true ap
preciation of the elective franchise, and
You have yet to learn fully what can ho

country in which wrong and injustice
can escape the castigation of the
Free government would fail to be im
partial if the situation were, otherwise.
That which makes a man superior: in
this country is his of chaqteter,
tellig,ence, energy, and intrepfility..
Every man is at liberty to display these
as best he can, and as he prospers in life
by the•fair test , of these qualities," he
demonstrates the blessings'of goal gov
ernment as'well :is his own ability to
succeed.
There should be no conflict between
labor and capital, and if wise counsels
prevail, they will go hand In baud. •_
I have always looked upon labor and
capital:la twin sisters, or perhaps to
illustrate my moaning more strongly, as
the Siamese twins, connected together
with a chord, the
greatly
of which
might be fatal or' greatly injurious to
both. Without labor capital would be.
comparatively. useless. Without capital
labor would fail to be remunerative, and
public. , and private enterpriso would
cease. • Neither can, therefore; encroach
upon or wrong the other with impunity.

DUTIES AND RESPOAISIBILITIES
OF TEACHERS.
Who of us fully comprehend the re
sponsible duty of the teachei ? • An em
inent divine once said, the teacher occu
pies a more responsible posision than the
minister, for when the, teacher teaches
an error, there are none to detect it ; but
when the minister teaches an error there
arc always those present wile readily de
tect the mistaltd,„ and heliecomes the ob
ject of censure and reproach. We can
easily see that the mind of the child is
'susceptible and will absorb the senti
ments given whether they be, but the
maturer mind is capable of selecting, and
if the evil is not rejected, it will be held
amenable. The child cannot judge, and
,when false doctrines are instilled into its
mind we- cannot suppose that the child
is accountable. Then how careful shout
cf
the teacher be that he teach nothing but
that will induce the youthful mind to
seek the path of honor and integrity in
every pursuit of life ; this should be, the
teacher's highest ambition, to the accom
plishment of this he should devote the
active energies of body and mind. Then
should the teacher enter upon this re
sponsible duty, with a careless indiffer
ence as to the success and welfare of his
pupils, or with -interest and a firm deter
mination• to succeed'?, This query can
best be answered by a review of our own
schooldays ; does not memory love to lin
ger around the days spent under the care
of those whom wo felt were anxious that
we should become wise and good, while
she hurriedly passes the days spent un
der the care of tyrants with a 'sigh of re
lief that they aro gone.
Every teacher should remember _that
the same acts that prompted him onin
the pursuit of knowledge, will clot fail to
impel and incite those under his care.
It is impossible for pupils to advance
rapidly if they entertain a rebellious
feeling toward the teacher. There are
many who enter upon these duties
without a previous thought or prepara
tion, or the slightest regard for anything
save the compensation they receive. In
these schoolrooms we meet the tear
dimmed eye, and hear the plaintive sob,
because the teacher is impatient, and
instead, of a gentle admonition that
would reach the tender heart of the
pupil; he allows- the rod to accompany
angry reproof, ehildren'ti hearts can
be won by a smile or kind word, but
they can, be as easily, lost by a frown and
angry words. A teacher should be
governed by certain-rules, -as well as the
pupil ; first that he cultivate a deep
interest in every pupil, and , exhibit this
interest in every recitation, by drawing
all the powers of the intellect into action,,
leading the •miud of the pupil in sub
limest -flights of imagination, in • this
way, the dullest lesson will become
pleasant_ and_ interesting ; , pupils- --will
anticipate the recitation hour, not as
they too often do, with sadness and fear,
but with ham hearts. Again the
teacher 'should treat' all ptuals, alike,
whether the goddess of affluence, or the
nemesis ,of poverty rules their destiny,
whether 'nature has embodied the jewel
in a"cornely form or unattractive person.
The diamond - is seldom found on the
surface, but hurried deep, and ofttimes
Where least expected.
The teacher should improve every op
portunity to bind the hearth of his pu
pils, by the ties of affection ; he should
study the disposition and talents of each
pupil. Every teacher can. find fume
good trait in every pupil; and if this trait
be cultivated, it will be, a Source of in
terest to both teacher and pupil. We
frequently'hear teaches complain of the
iabere and trialsrdf--their position, but

REVOLUTION IN RAILROADS. • •
The Now York Tribune of Friday
says : The article on narrow-gaugefail.
roads' which appeared in yesterday's
Tribune under the above caption, created
no little sensation among railroad men.
The '" revolution" which it advocated
-has-for some-time been the nightmare or
the' dream, as-the case might be, of
capitalists, engineers and contractors.
But the question of the development of
the vast regions of country through which
'the rattle of cars and the whistle of
engines are as yet unheard, is much' ore
-important than the question of profits to
corporations or, individuals., _ This de
velopment may bo consummated,, long
before tho early settlers could have an
ticipated, by the newly under Stood rail
way system known as the narrow-gauge.
On this system lines of railway can be
constructed all over, the country_ at. al
-most half the cost of the-old' gauge, and
none know so well as railroad men how
easy it is' tO raise $1,000,0e0 where the
raising of $2, COO,OOO would be impossible.
But the decreased cost of construction is
not the only advantage of the narrow
gauge., The decrease in the. cost of
operation is proportionate, and affects
the, pockets of stockholders and travelers
alike. A gentleman writes, asking how
the embankment of a narrow-gauge line
will be more than comparatively less
wide than that of a broad-gauge line.
Had he read the article in question care
fully, he would have learned that a nar
row-gauge lino' admits of much steeper
grades, and consequently of less sub
stantial embankments. if the embank
ment on an incline Or a decline is so
many.feet less in heighth because - the
width-of the railroad gauge enables the
lighter-built engines and rolling stock to
travel over it with the same ease as
heavier engines and heavier rolling stock
would travel over a More evenly graded
line, it stands-tmrdason that the base of
the embankment will not only be nar
rower, but less in height, giving a double
gain. The general tendency of the - many
criticisms yesterday was that the reason
ing," of the article was unanswerable,
backed up as it was by statistics from all
parts of the world in favor of narrow
gauge lines. :Some difference of opinion
was expressed as to the -policy of alter
,° the gauge of existing lines, but none
as to the necessity of constructing all
lines in future on the narrow-gauge
system. So great was tilt interest of '
the railroad men in the subject that one
prominent character distributed 1;500
copies of yesterday's Tribune through
out the country.

RVINAWAT tßOYS.—Thorn appears to ho
considerable of a fever among some of
the boys in town for "running off."
Two or three instances has come to our
notice during the past ton days of very
young lads Prematurely leaving their
",firesides." In ono 'instance, two of
them, members of different fan:Mies, got
aboard the C. V. R. R. cars and left for
Ilarrisburg. Onci of the "stern and
Cruel" parents going ill quest of the
runaways, 'first caught a glimpse of them
fishing in the "raging canawl" at liar
risburg, and the boys seeing their ppr 7
suer in clpse proximity took "leg bail"
but they wore not sulleientlyffeet-footed
and were soon overtaken, and returned
to their homes,. It was customary years
ago to offer a reward of sic coils and
costs for the apprehension of rimawaYs,
and we think it would be a good idea to
resort to the .seine plan now, as much
good might result therefrom.

i<LATCn GAME.—A., match game of ,
base ball will take place this (Wednes
day) afternoon; at 2 o'clodk, .providing
. the weather is propitious. The game is
to be played in 'the College campus, be
tween a scrub nine of this borough and
a- scrub nine from Dickinson College.
Both parties aro sanguine of success,.
but we caution the town boys to-be on
their guard, and bring out their very
best players.

LIVERY STABLEB.—OUTyOUIIg " sports"
in patronizing the livery stables, should
bear in mitid that the Legislature of
Pennsylvania has passed a UPI affording
protection to the proprietors of livery
stables in this county. We insert it for
the benefit of a certain class of young
then that "sport" on'Sabbaths with a
" horse and masheen," and abuse the
poor dumb animals under their control.
It s reads as follows : "Persons hiring
horses or vehicles from livery stable
keepers, who shall negligently injure or
destroy property committed to their
care, shall be deemed guilty of misde
meanor, • pithishable by a flue, or an
imprisonment of twenty clays in the
county prison, or both at the discretion
of the court, the parties to be responsi
ble and answerable for the value of the
property injured or destroyed in a suit
for debt."
FonErAuan's 6 Ctneui3.—This colossal
establishment has been doing an immense
business since leaving our town, and the
receipts have been exceedingly heavy,•
notwithstanding- the 'rainy season with
which_ they have had to contend. In
York, they received a perfect ovation ;
also in Columbia. On last Thursday,
they exhibited in Harrisburg, when
notwithstanding the rain, about '6,000
persons visited the Circus and Menagerie
in the afternoon and evening.
From our exchanges-amp the valley"
we learn that some persons from the
rural districts, in attendance at the show,
were victimized pretty badly. In Green
'castle for $B5 ; in Chambersburg, two
individuals lost $l6O, and a man in
Shippensburg for $6O. Three card monte
was the game practiced.
We are not aware of the game having
been indulged in when the Circus visited
our town, but this was owing to the dis
agreeable weather, and but few persmis
being on the ground during the day.
Perhaps if they would have visited
Rich Mechauidsburg, some of those nice
young men that "play cards in Chestnut
Hill Cemetery do Sablidth," might have
assisted in fighting the three-card month
man.
"CHEAPER THAN THE CHEAPEST."-
A few years since Mr. J, Wr..,HenderSon,
of this place, erected a large lee house
on' the banks of the Conodoguinet creek,
in the neighborhood of the "Cave."
During the past winter Mr. H. has had
this large building filled with a superior
quality of this indispensable summer
luxury.'
His agent, Mr. Conrad Earnest, makes
his daily round, offering all put citizens
an opportuuitz . of procuring ice at ex
tremely lOw figures. His terms are as
follows : Fifteen pounds for jive cents.
Competition.is very' ively among theice
merchants the present season, of which
our citizens will be highly- delighted to
take advantage. For cheap and good
ice,- warranted to keep until melted,
p4tronize Mr. Earnest.

DEATH FROM LOCK' JAW—lndescribable
Sufferings.—lt becomes epr painful duty
to record the death of a 'bright and in
teresting little girl, named Alice C. Lent,
residing On Liberty alloy, froth one of the
most formidable diseases,‘ If the_nervous
system—lock jaw-. - .About 'lwo - weeks
since, the weather being very pleasant,
the little girl, like many other little folks,
was running barefooted. While so do
ing she run a splinter in the solo of her
left foot.
It pained her soino at first, but nothing
more was said about it, until six or seven
days subsequently, when she again com
plained of her foot paining her very
much.
. .
Dr. Stewart was called in, but from
the Persistent, intense and painful con
tractions to which she was subjected, it
soon, became apparent that lock jaw
would ultimately take place. , For 48
hours provious to her death the pen
would fail to portray the terrible agony
iyhich she was compelled to endure.
Finally ou Tuesday, the second instant,
death put an eud•to her sufferings.

ASSAULT AND BATTERY. OR last
Thursday evening, Meer Charles Sanno
arrested Joseph Arnold and Daniel Hen
ry for assault and battery, on oath of B•
Maglaughlin, of Doubling Gap. They
wore - ainunitted for trialby Squire Sham
berger.
STILL ANOTHER.—George L. Gouch
or, the celebrated bill poster and fence
decorator has come to grief. Hearing of
his arrest, we were •slow to belieVe it,
thinking it was some idle rumor, but
finally were compelled, though very re
luctantly to believe the report. Accord
ingly- we determined to interview (ac
cording to the New York Herald,) Gou
chay and learn whence these give
charges.
Upon arriving at
t the " Brown Stone,"
theepolite turnkey„ r ndmitted us within
. the prison walls. there being no pris
onefs in the cells of the lower corridor,
wo "ascended on high;" in quest of the
prisoner We'passed around the entire
corridor• but could gain no sight of his .
noble form, and were preparing to make
-a hasty flight, - when a' gentlemaff,
that had accompanied us, spied him in
a distant corner of_cell No. 26, George
having hid himself when we passed by
his cell. It seems that Gou-chay bad
been arguing the morality of the " Local
Option bill" and become sadly delnoral
ized. While in this conditiOn he asserts
that some boys were throwing stones at
him and. otherwise maltreating him,
'N ' vhen he tripped a little fellow over. • •
He was immediately arrested by Officer
Oiler, and though making considorable
resistance, was finally: incarcerated 'in
Fort Foreman. Little did we suppose
George when yOu made your last visit,
that so very soon would you be an inmate
of that institution, with the prospects of
'remaining there until the end of the
"dog days."
In this connection, We. would say, that
we found George minus a ,bed, having
nothing to lay on, but a chance soft spot
on the hard floor,- and no covering,
excepting a single blanket. Other
prisoners, we arc told, are also compelled
to forego the luxury of a bed.
A SHAM' PATENT RIGHT SWINDLE.—
The Pittsburg Real Estate Register thus
exposes ono of the sharpest patent right
swindles of the day, against which we
caution our readers. It is sad to see so
much ingenuity so shamefully perverted :
" We can beat anything in the way of

himself as the general agent for the sale

:kiwi—Daring-the 'past Week we have
been' visited 'witli :a. "rainy spell," of
several days' dUratien. For a day two
it seemed 2.8 if there would be no "let up,"
and that we wore being subjected to a
second deluge. All things have an end
:sometime or other, and the rain was no ex
ception to the rule, as it finallY.cleared
off on Saturday night. Since that time
the temperature has been very cool, no
doubt, owing to 'the hail storm which'
visited Illinois the other day:
The -Conocloguinet-was bank full, but
no serious damage was done ; many cel
lars-in the lower Mid of town have been
inundated since the recent rains.
Our farmers aro unanimous in assert
ing that no serious damage - was sus
tained by the growing crops.
CHICKEN CLEPTOMANIACS. —The follow
ing chapter on chicken thefts„ we pub.
lish for the benefit pf our many readers,
in town and country, that they may be
'on their guard, against the stealing, pro
pensities of this class of chicken-hearted
thieves.
During - the past week, the premises of
Mrs. Askew, a widow lady, residing on
Eat Louther street, were intruded upon,
and about 40 chickens stolen. No clue
to the Perpetrators of this bold theft has
yet been discovered. _
The chicken. yard of Mr. Corbett,
living in Middlesex township, about two
miles from Carlisle, was entered a few
'nights since, and seven " hatching"liens
"confiscated•"' Suspicion attaches to a
yOung . man of this piece, having " no
visible means of support."
. Some individual desirous of enjoying
a Sunday dinner on " chuck," resolved
to do so at the expense of Squire Dehuff,
residing on North East street. To this
end, his "liennery" was entered Vn
Saturday night last, and, a fine young
Brahma lien stolen. , .
On Thursday, Friday and Saturday
evenings last, some miscreant, taking
advantage of the damp weather, stole
upwards of SO chickens from Mr. Harry
Givler, residing in this borough. No
trace of tbelhieves has been discovered.
ON Sunday night, about 12 o'clock,
the house of Mrs. Esclibnch, on North
East street, was entered twice by bur
glars, but the parties wore frightened
away each time. They finally succeeded
in capturing abaut 15 chickens. Offi
cer Sanno was made acquainted-with the
foul trausfiction in dice 'time, and im
mediately proceeded .to ferret out, the
guilty parties. Finally getting on their
feathery tracks, (feathers being scattered
from the yard from which they were stol
en) they were traced to the residence
of ono of the parties named Heed, on
East South street, and the chickens re
covered. There were two instividuals en
gaged in this little transaction. Ed
wards, managed to escape, Wit was final
ly captured on the Lisburn road, about
'fite miles from town. Both parties were
taka before Squire Holcomb; when, by
orderof the Justice of the Peace, they
aro now rusticating within the walls of
.Fort Foreman.
'We iVould caution our citizens to be on
the look out for this class of individuals,
for the community appears to be overrun
with clicker* thieves. • We challenge
any of our country exchanges to report
as ninny cases of " weakness for chuck,"
in a single issue.
RP:PORTERS SLIORTLY XED.—News
paper r9orters, like all other human be
ings, are iable to mistakes. Below we
give the following news items contained
in two of the leading Philadelphia jour
nals, referring to the movements of the
President during the past week. The
Philadelphia Press, of Friday last, "says :
"President Grant designs leaving
Washington on Saturday, for Philadel
phia, 'to return on Monday with Mrs.
Grant, who is now on a visit to that city."
The correspondent of the Press that
forwarded the above highly interesting
information must have been well In
formed regarding the President's move
ments.
From the Inquirer of last Monday, un
der the head of Germantown items, we
clip the following paragraph :
"VISIT 01r . PRESIDENT GRANT.—On
Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Grant and
her son Jesse • arrived in this city from
Washington. Since 'that time she halt
been the guest of Jay Cooke, esq. On
Friday a telegram_ was received from the
President, stating that he would leave
Washington in the early morning train,
and reach Philadelphia Saturday even
ing. He arrived in due season,•and,
carriage being in waiting; he was driven
'rapidly actay':
In company with Mr. Cooke, he pro
ceeded to join Mrs. Glant, at Chelton
Hills. Here the President and his wife
and child , remained' yesterday. In the
morning they attended divine service,
and in the afternoon took a drive through
the surrounding country. It ls expected
that the President will visit G. Dawson
Coleman, of Lebanon county, and re
turn to Washington on'Tuenday.."
This is news to the, people of this
Place, decidedly, and a person is almost
compelled to 'exolaim "Do my eyes de
ceive me." We JWonder if the reporter
that penned the above articio attended
the same house of Worship that the
President and hie lady did on Sabbath
last P Also, whether " the drive through
the - surrounding country" ,was enjoyed
by the above-named, parties.' We won
der rho imparted the above 'important
information to the reporter in quasthm,
aiwe think they must haie been draiving
somewhat upon his credulity.
Now for. mfr. version of this matter.
On ThurSday last, Mrs. Grant, *Comps ,
Aiied - by her son. visited Pine drove, at
the terminus of the South Monntatii
Pailread. On Saturday afternoon She
returned, and, passed through this 'Place
to Newville, on the'Mail Train, to remain
with - her:sister, Mm, Dr.. Sharp, of that
burg, over the Salibeth.' In the evening
she was pined by the President, he hav
ing left the Capitol on the morning of
the same day; They remained' in New
vlllO until Monday, and passed 'through
this , place on the Mail Train , eastii i ,at
11.80 a: •
The news beifig noised riround that the
Preeklential party - weuld return on that
train, hundreds of Our citizens of both pe
