OUR CAXDIDATE.
Wo this week place at our mast head, the
name of Agustin Durbin, Esq . as the can
didate of the Democracy of Cambria, Clear
field and Blair Counties, for the office of State
Senator. The Conference acted wisely in
placing him in nomination. He is a man of
undoubted ability, and his integrity and
faithful adheranceto the principles of the par
ty, have fixed him in the hearts of the De
mocracy of this county. It will be seen by
inference to the proceedings of the Confer
ence which we publish in another column,
that the struggle for the nomination was a
protracted one, and Mesirs. Pershing Kittell
and Zahm, deserve credit for the fidelity with
which they throughout adhered to the "fa
vorite son of Cambria." Mr. Durbin'a com
petitors were Mr. Wallace of Clearfield, and
Mr. Snyder of Blair. They are both men of
ability and reliable Democrats, and if either
of them had been placed in nomination, we
would of course have labored faithfully and
sealously to promote his election.
It is unnecessary for us to 6ay anything to
our Cambria County readers in praise of Mr.
Durbin, cither as a man or a Democrat. They
all know him as well as we do and respect
and esteem him with equal sincerity. From
our knowledge of his popularity among the
Mountaineers, we are confident that he will
run at least three hundred votes ahead of the
rest of the Democratic ticket in thi3 County,
on the second Tuesday of next October.
Mr. Durbin was born and reared in this
County, and may be truly said to have grown
with its growth, and strengthed with its
strength. Since arriving at the year3 of man
hood, he has been a working member of the
Democratic Party, and has always during im
portant contests never failed in exerting his in
fluence to promote its success. In 1852 the
Democratic County Convention placed him
in nomination for the important and respon
sible office of Sheriff. He was elected by a
majority of 900 votes over a popular com
petitor. The average majority for the rest of
the county ticket was only 500. He dischar
ged the duties of the office during the term
for which he was elected, in manner which
commanded the approbation of candid and in
telligcnt men of all parties. His popularity in-
stead of diminishing has increased since 1852
as tne returns of the next election will show,
Mr. Durbin is possessed of all the abilities
iPCCI.w f f Anmttlt. .I!.! a J 1"
necessary to constitute an efficient and relia
ble legislator. His abilities, it is true, are
not of the brilliant or showy kind. His mind
is eminently practical, and he is blessed with
a large lund of common 6cnse, without which
no man can be either a faithful or useful mrm

tho better for the people. The fact that a
man can deliver a spread eagle speech, is no
evidence that he understands the principles
of our government, or kuows when they aro
carried out Mr. Durbin if elected to the
Senato would be above the influence of cor-
T
rapt demagogues, and would never be afraid
to say No, when principle required it.
Now that our Ticket is complete, the De
mocracy of Cambria should at once go to
work in earnest to secure its triumphant elec
tion. All past difference amongtne members i
of the party should be at once consigned to

success, e entertain no doubt that our
brethren of Clearfield will faithfully do their
duty in the coming Senatorial contest. They
never falter in the hour of battle.
Melancholy Heath.
On last Saturday morning, a farmer of
Cambria township, named William Williams,
brought a few bushel of potatoes to this place
for sale; after disposing of them, he succeeded
in getting a quart flask filled with very bad
whiskey, and immediately commenced imbi
bing Urge doses of the liquid poison. In a
short time he was intoxicated, and became
quite noisy. Sometime during the afternoon
probably about four o'clock, he Etaggered up
street and seated himself on a chair in front of
the "Union House," and remained seated
there for some time. While so seated, we
learn, he took several drinks from his flask,
which of course increased his intoxication.
He finally aroso up, Etaggered across the
street towards the "Arcade," then walked a
few paces in the opposite direction, and again
staggered and fell backwards, the back part
of his bead striking the surface of the street
which consists of broken stone, with consider
able force. In a few moments he rose up and
and remained for a short time in a setting
posture, but soon fell over on his Eide. Sev
a
eral persons who were present, immediately
went to him. and finding that he was insensi
ble, took him in charge, and sent for Dr
Lemon. For some time he appeared to rally
but never spoke, and expired without a strug
gle, about two hours after the accident hap
pened. An inquest was held on his remains
by Esq. Kinkead and eix J urors, and a ver
diet rendered in accordance with the evi
dence. Dr. Lemon in his testimony before
the inquest said, "that death was probably
caused by concussion of the brain; or it
might have been apoplexy; could not say
positively without a postmortem examination"
It is but a simple act of Justice to state, that
all the hotel keepers in this place and their
bar keepers, havo positively refused furnish
ing the deceased with intoxicating liquor du
ring the last year, and that the quart flask
was not filled by any of them. He was a
man of very intemperate habits, and although
when sober he was a quiet and kind hearted
man, when intoxicated he was very boister
ous and abusive. lie owned a valuable farm
a few miles from this place on which he resi
ded. He leaves a wife to mourn his unhap
py and unexpec ted death. From his appear
ance we conjecture that he was about forty
five years of age.

were at one time covered with a thia, -luminous
vapor, and through the pale mellow light
the stars were seen dim-twinkling, like gems
in a great wreath of silver. Iu the East, the
lig;ht was white and brilliant, while in the
i est, it took a pale roseate hue, like a dis
tant fire. Such indeed, it was supposed to
be, and an alarm was raised, but before the
engines had proceeded far the pencilled rays
shot up to the zenith, and thousands upon
the streets were admiring the display of this
unaccountable but most beautiful phenomena
of nature.

Kansas Citt, August 16, 1S59.
Tho VTettern Metropolitan Extra has the
following:
Tbh (Friday) morning, Mr. Charles A.
Hassler, a merchant at Kxnporia, arrived in
this city bringing neTS of an alarming nature
concerning recent attacks by the Indians upon
the settlers of Whitewater and Walnut rivers,
in Butler and Greenwood counties, Kansas
Territory.
The number of Kaw, Osage and Camanche
Indians in that vicinity is about five thousand
all warriors. They have lately removed from
the Little Arkansas, where they have been
collecting for some time back, for the purpose
it seems, of driving back the settlers from the
frontier. Some interpret their motive to be
revenge for the hanging of the two Kaws at
Council Grove some time since; but this would
hardly seera so, as the point of attack is some
seventy miles distant. It may, however, be
a plan to decoy the men away, so that the
point mentioned will fall an easy prey. Cer
tain it is that the people at the Grove have
anticipated an attack for some time.
On Thursday morning, 11th inst., a mes
senger reached Emporia from the Lower
Whitewater, bringing information that an
engagement had taken place between the In
dians and whites near the town of Eldorado,
in which one hundred of the former and five
of the latter were killed.
The same day another messenger arrived
from Chelsea, fifteen miles above, bringing a
note from Mr. N. S. Stoors of that place, sta
ting that the town was surrounded by Indi
ans, and that they were momentarily expect
ing an attack. He appealed for assistance,
in order to get his family away. That even
ing a company of fifty left Emporia, expect
in to reach there next morninjr. a distance
A man came from Emporia as our inform
ant left, Friday evening, who stated that he
met the company nearly at their destination,
and that no attack had yet been made upon
that place. Missouri Democrat.
Riot Xear Philadelphia.
A serious riot took place at Tacocy yester
day afternoon. A great number of persons
had been attracted to that point by a sailing
match, a pic-nic by the pupils ofSr..Jfin.L.-
cent s Sunday School, and a target firing byl
the Iranklin Rifle Company, a German vol
unteer organization. There was a strong
gathering of rowdy hangers-on. The row
dies commenced the fight as usual, and amu
sed themselves by pelting the Germans.
Three persons were seriously stabbed, and
carried off bv their friends. The Franklin
Rifle Company then uiarched down to the
wharf, when they were assaulted with a
shower of stones, bricks, etc. The members
of the company retaliated with the butts of
their pieces, some of wLich were broken ani
strewn about the lauling Oae of the officers
fought with bis sword He was knocked
down and his sword taken from him by a po
lice officer, who thought the infuriated Ten
ton behaved like a madman. Soon after this
some of the members of the company loaded
their rifles with pebbles and fired into the
crowd of their assailants Two persons were
wounded, but their injuries are not of a se
rious character. The police used their ut
most efforts to put a stop to the row and were
partiallv successful The steamboat, Thomas
A. Morgan stopped at Tacony at seven o'clock
when the soldiers, rioters and policemen, in
cluding a squad of officers from Frankfort,
embarked on board for the city, where the
parties landed peacefully. The rowdies
groaned and hissed as the company marched
up from the landing, but otherwi2 there was
no attempt to create a disturbance. Three
of the members of the Rifle company were
cut about the head iu a shocking manuer.
A Woman Burned to leath.
On rridar evening last, the wile ot Jlr.
W Hairertv. residine in the vicinity of Al-
toona, was so badly burned while endeavor
inr to rescue her child, whose clothes had
caught fire from a fluid lamp, that she died
the following Sunday. It appears that the
unfortunate lady had placed a fluid lamp on
the table, and that it had exploded, setting
fire to the clothes of the child. Thi3 alarmed
her so much that, instead of endeavoring to
smother the fire she ran with the child into
the open air, thus fanuing the flame. A Mr
Barker, at this juncture came to her relief,
and snatching the child from her, quickly di
vested it of its clothing. He next attempted
to strip Mrs. II. in likeway, but she resisted
and it was only after a struggle that he got
off so much of her dress as was on fire. The
unfortunate womnn was shockingly burned.
