IF' Greeley is elected what will become

must do the work that brings the result.
There arc numerous gentlemen in that
party who' are somewhat anxious for

become "of Cincinnati politicans? For

any sort of justice the officers should be
distributed in the same ratio.:' This
would give so, many to the Democracy
as net to give the Cincinnati patriots
any chance at till. If they are bet all

Horace just as they did on Grapt.
There are some people who may be relied
on oven won they don't got office, but
none of that stripe attended the Cincin

hey' will find it "mighty interesting
reading." Here it is as Horace wrote it!
" Point wherever you please to an
election district which you, will - pro-,
pounce morally rotten—given up in

that district will be found at nearly or
quite every election giving a large ma

Democratic party. ,* * Take all
the haunts of ..debauchery in the land

THE ' Philadelphia court of Common
Pleas last week tendered , s decision on
the local option law. The .case arose
multi' the Mitpassed last winter for the
twenty-tirst ward of, the city, which was
exactly the same as the Shipponsburg
act. Four orthe Judges held that the
law was constitutional ; the other Judge,
Ludlow,'dissented.. The ground 'on
which the constitutionality of the act
was affirmed, was that the Legislature'
had the right to make the granting of a
license depend on the vote of the people,
or on any other condition which it might
see fit to impose, and that requiring a
vote on the question was in no sense
delegating legislative power. This is
precisely the opinion we N ; utured to siig
gest in these 'columns at the time the
Shippensburg act was decided to be uu
conAitutional. With. regard to the
Parker case the Court say that, its au
thority has boon substantially taken
away by many r"cont decisions. This
Philadelphia case will go to the Supremo
Court, where it will receive a
,final decis
ion, and on that will rest - the question
of the power of the Legislature to pass
loca option bills.
E Connecticut Legislature has
elected Hon. 0. S. Ferry, the present
Republican U. S. Senator from that
State; fur a second term, This was dou r °
through a combination of the Democrats
land rkberal Republicans. The 'regular
Republican cauctiii*, nominee was Gen.
Hawley, one of 'the:ablest and best Mtn
in the State. Mr: Ferry has always .
been a consistent Republican, and has
au 'excellent record as a Senator._ The
Dolly Vardon politicians who support
the Cincinnati nominees are crowing
over the result in. Connecticut as an indi
cation of the breaking up of the Republi
can party, and the Democrats, yha- fear
they, may yet have to become Dolly Var
dens, rife barking in the same chorus.
While we regret the defeat of Gen.
Fawley, who was entitled to tho posi
thin on every ground, on which Political
preferment may-be claiined, we donot
view the result - with' very Mitch alarm.
It is pretty conclusive hoWeVor, when
tho Connecticut Democrats aro Willing
to vote for as good a Republican as
Senator Ferry,- that there is .not vory
much life left in that organization. if
the Democracy NVill - fell the truth as to
Senator Ferry's thOy are et
liberty to crow as much over the,,rosult
as they choose. •

GEN-LIAIIRISON ALLEN.'
The name of General Harrison Allen,
for three years a State Senator from the
Warren District, is upon the Republican
ticket for Auditor General: Gen. Allen
is a personal friend, for whom we have
a profound respect, and in whose ability
we have the strongest confidence.
Gon. Allen is a self-made man. He
has come right up from the ground—so
to speak—from the ranks of tho plow
boy and the lumberman—and by
,his
Own efforts taken a proud position among
the - representative mon of the State.
Ho was among the first to respond at
the call of his country for volunteers.
And bravely ho stood forth at the front
until victory perched upon our banners
and
His popularity Was displayed when
his nomination was made unanimous—
every delegate voting for him.
During his terms as member of the
House and the Senate, Gen—alien has
proved himself an efficient member, and
has taken a strong interest in the\ affairs
of this region.
By his attention to his duties and the'
prompt consideration of the wants of his
Constituents, he has made himself very
popular with the masses, and his ene
mies are only found among those whom
he has disappointed in securing honors
Which they could not itach. •
• Those'who so sturdily oihnounced . Gen.
Allen aro not true to the .principles of
the Party, to, which they claim to

port of the pec;ple. No charge of any
kind lays at his door save the hue and
cry of his mongrel enemies, who grind
their Leath in hitter disappointment at
his triumph. Ilolias been faithful in all
his trusts, and in all his aspirations actu
ated by true principle—that of advanc
ing hinisClf to prominence by his OWII
unaided efforts.
He has hosts of friends at libmO—cs
pecially among the working classes,
whom in many ways he has benefited,
and his praises are heard)rom lips not

AI OPINION OF THE DEI
Flom the New York &wits Z.:flung,
a liberal Democratic German paper, o
about 120,000 daily circulation :
"But the Democrats who have de
clared to go through thick and thin with
their party, and who called this faithful
ness to their principlos,, are now clam
oring for an endorsement of the Cincin
nati ticket by the Democratic convention,
and 'abuse us (the Slants Zeitanp) for not
joining in the frantic cry. -
t‘ Well, if the convention at Bill hnore
yields to sack clamor, our opinion. el the
rocenness 'of the Democratic organiza
tion woulld only be eolith:hied by it. In
such course would be
.found the be:it
jUstification of our so called 'treacher
ous' conduct against that .organization.
In spite, however, of our low opinion of
it, we 140 a —have wished it 'u ororn decent
death. But itmay be good for it to Bud
such a-miserable death, in order to con
' vinae everybody •of the iseceSslty of its
death. Nobody will be afterwards deft
fo fanoy yet thatit might still have
'Aimed the nucleus for a reform move
ment."

was, souhded and the populace called out
to check the ravages of the advancing,
'Mines., With buckets, the roofs of the
houses were thoroughly, wet, and by the
greatest efihrts of tho citizens the village
of Fall Brook was saved. Ono of the
coal chutes was on fire at one time, but
through the exertions of the miners was.
saved from destruction.
The mountains around Bellefonte have
been 'onlire t resulting in a- great de
struction of . timber and other. property.
The Messrs. Valentine had about 8,000
cords of wood destroyed near-Snow Shoe,
and many others have met with smaller
losses. •
The Clinton Democrat says that severe
fire's have been raging on Kettle Crook
and Barner's Run, back to Westport, and
on Hall's Run, causing a lfaziness in
Lock Haven diat nearly obscured the
mountains in that direction and on the
west from view.' Henry Andresson, ou
licttle Creek, lost two houses, two barns,
containing ;Omit ;30 tons of hay, and
other outbuildings valued at about' $B,-
000. A Mr. Smith occupied one.of the
houses, and the other was unoccupied:
lie and his family narrowly escaped be
ing burnt. He took some goods in
trunks, and attempted to escape with
them. The wagon broke dowh, and he
had to abandon it and the goods to the
flambs, and take to the creek with his
family and horses for safety. Three
bridges, one over the main creek,' were
burnt. Much valuable timber and logii•
cut but not got in tiro reported burnt.
Mr. Andresson is .a Swede, and was ono
of the settlers with Ole Bull at Olhona,
being his chief clerk, we are told. Ho
remained after the great fiddler left, end
is now reputed to be very wealthy. It
was light enough in Westport to " pick
up a pin," as our informant expressed it.
Fires have also been raging in the Sugar
Valley mountains, During the fires a
couple of weeks since, about 250 feet of
.a darn in White Deer Creek were burnt.
There were about 2,000,000 feet logs just
hbovo '
belonging' to. Pardee -LC; Quok,
which were Saved only by dint of hard
Work.
Quito a large
,number _of logs were
burnt last week on Cook's Run and at
Birch Island. Fires are raging in the
woods up Beach creek.
Thomas & Mason had a large number
of logs threatened on one of the tributa

Mason, who got on a freight and went
up, got his men together, and worked
laboriously for a couple of days, the logs
were all saved On Council Run, splash

burnt. B. F. Liggett is said to have lost
'2,000 logs and 500 cords of hemlock bark.

Similar accounts are being received
from all sections of the' country—farm

and a general scene of desolation. Be
sides, the destruction of flys-ellings and
other buildings, not kindled ,by the
mountain fires, -is unprechdented, caused
by sparks from chimneys and other
wise. Nothing but a drenching rain will
stop this universal devastation, and the
people of thb country are praying heartily
for it. It is a sad- commencement of

treated, and returned to Mr. Dana, the
editor, who thereupon instructed his

wronged and the Integrity of the b-ink

said, to _let go its bull-dog grip, but
throats, persuasions and prollers alike

which has a groat'auany green and gold
establishments scattered hem and there,
are known by New 'Yorkers to have
agents engaged ?in purchasing tea
grounds from the different hotels and
restaurants, ivhich are dried, mixed with:
chemicals and a small portion of fresh
tea, perfumed, and aro then put up in
attractive parcelsrand sent forth at a
price somewhat below regular trade rates
to poison unsuspicious lovers of the bev

sitOirld become acquainted as soon as he

RAIN.—We wore visited with refresh
ing showers on Sabbath last, the first
rain fir several• weeks past. Although
not a very largo qUantity of water fell,
it served, to make the trees and grass
look bright and green, but did not
benefit the suffering crops. It will
require several days 'of steady rain, to
benefit them any. Wo will live in hopes
that the showers of Sabbath last were
merely the harbingers of-more substantial
rains to speedily follow. It is an old
adage that "if it rains on Whitsuntide,
ft will rain on seven succeeding Sab
baths," and as it rained last Sunday,
we sincerely trust that it may prove true
in this case, and that the hearts of , the
farmers may be gladdened by weekly
showers, and eventually be rewarded
with a bountiful harvest.
nn.—On .llonday, afternoon last, a
flre broke out at the Carlisle Iron Works
near Dillsburg, York county. Upwards
of 73 cordi of chopped wood were burned
before the(lames were subdued.
(IN the Balllo Clay a tire broke out in
another lot of wood belonging to the
sante company, and about 35 cords were
consumed. The fire in both instances
originated by a spark ft um the pit fall
ing on the wood.
Owing, tethe strenuous exertions of
the empl.,yees of the company, a terrible
conflagration was averted, as there were
2,800 cords ranked at the former place,
and 2,500 Colds at the latter.

astonishing as any scene on the stage of

transmutes a sallow, peeky looking corn

country air and sunlight am pretty sure
to produce, in spite of parasols and sun

while it has a perfectly magical effect in
banishing -undue ,redness, blotches and
pimples from - the skin. Whenlthe lady

equally astoaFded and gratified at' the
improvement sin her appearance. Every
blemish has diqiippeared ; her neck,

the snowy collar which enciicles her
