Pollock was revonstructed first. Fill
ed with zeal for the right, his door was
busted in, and in a jiffin the goods with
which he was contaminatin our people
was distributed among the crowd, each
takin sick as suited ena. One man sug
gested as they was made by Yankees,
and brought South by Yankees, that
there was contatninashun in the touch
of em, and that they be burned ; but he
was hooted down, our people seein a
distincshun. The contaminashun was
in payin for em—gittin them gratui
tously took the cuss off.
Elated, the crowd for the settlement.
I never saw more zeal manifested. A
half hoar brought us there, and then a
scene ensued which ailed me with joy
unspeakable. The niggers was routed
out, and their goods was bundled after
em. The Bibles and skule books was
destroyed first, cause we had no use for
ern ; their chairs, tables and bureaus,
clothin and beddin was distributed. A
woman had the impudence to beg for
something she fancied, when the right
eous zeal of my next door neighbor,
Pettus, biled over, and he struck her.—
Her husband, forgettin his color, struck
Pettus, and the outrage was completed.
A nigger had raised his hand against' a
white man !
The insulted Caucashun bind riz, and
in less than a minnit the bodies of six
mail Ethiopians was a danglin in the
air, and the bodies of six Ethiopian wo
men was layin prostrate on the earth.—
The children was spared, for they was
still young, and nbt havin been taught
to read so fur that they could not forgit
it if kept 'keerfully from books, they
kin be biought up in the proper spear,
as Beryl/ts to their brethren. (By the
way the inspired writer must have used
the word " brethren" in this connec
shun figuratively. The nigger, being a
beast, cannot be a brother.)
Some wone may censure us for too
much zeal in this matter, but what else
could we have dun? We are high toned
and can't stand everything. These nig
gers had no right to irritate us by their
presence. They knoned our feelins on
the subject, and by buyin land and re
mainin in the vicinity, they kindled the
flame which resulted as it did. As they
did in Memphis and New Orleans, they
brought their fate onto their own heads.
Pollock recovered, and with the Yan
kee skule mama who was a teachin the
niggers, left for the North yesterday.—
It speaks well for the forbearance of our
people that they was permitted to de
part at all.

Singular Occurrence in Ohio
The Cleveland (Ohio) _Herald says:
" Yesterday, shortly after 12 o'clock,
a very singular casualty occurred on Hill
street. On the north side of this street
is a ravine, perhaps twenty feet deep,
occupied by the oil, works of Mr. Dela
mater and some others. - At the hour
named the man in chafge of Mr. Dela
mater's works heard a rumbling noise,
and looking toward the - street, saw a
bout fifty feet of the bank moving rap
idly out into the ravine, and directly
upon the works. In an instant a great
mass of earth was precipitated with
much force against the building, which
being of wood gave way, and was crush
ed to atoms, with several tanks, some
machinery, &c. The ravine was sad %
denly filled to the depth of four or five
feet with the earth from the bank, the
deposit being made evenly, and very
much as if it had been `dumped' from
wagons. The roadway of Hill street
was tarred out, and there is now a gulf
forty or fifty feet broad, and nearly half
as deep across the street. "
"The singular feature of the affair is
that it was not the falling of a steep
bank, but a vast mass of earth was
forced out horizontally by some un
knowq agency, carried, some of it, 75
yards on nearly a level, and deposited
as evenly over the bottom of the ravine
as it could have been by hand. 'there
was smile water with the slide, but the
greater part of the earth which moved
was not even wet. There are various'
theories among those who saw the slide.
The most common is that it was an
earthquake, and, the most probable is
that it was caused by a large accumula
tion of water and quicksands under the
road, which finally burst their bounds."'
A Frightful Ride
A correspondent of the Chicago Times
relates the following incident, which
occurred at Centralia, Illinois :
"At four o'clock this mornings yard
master in the employ of the Illinois
Central railroad at this place saw a man
on an engine that had steam up, on the
track ready to go out. The yard-master
accosted him and told him to get off the
engine. The man replied by knocking
down the yard-master, running the en
gine out on the main track and starting
northward at a terrific rate of speed. A
brakeman and fireman were lying asleep
on the engine when it started. They
awoke to find themselves flying away
with all the speed of the wind, and a
stranger at the engine.
" On examination they found him to
be a drunken stone mason of this place
named Fitzpatrick, who had been rav
ing with delirium tremens recently.—
The two men were at first appalled with
terror. They appealed to the man to
stop, but he heeded them not, and drove
the engine faster and faster. Resound
ed the whistle at Central city, the first
station north, but did not for a moment
decrease the frightful velocity of the en
gine. At the junction just above Cen
tral city the whistle shrieked again, and
the engine sped like a cannon ball to
ward Sandoval. The situation was now
becoming fearfully perilous, when the
btakentan seized a piece of coal and
hurled it at the desperate maniac. Ile
then left the engine and turned upon
the brakeman and fireman. One of
them struck him with a sledge hammet
and after a struggle he was secured.=
The engine was speedily reversed and
brought back to this city." •
The Oldest Rouse in New llantiln.'re.
The following is from the Portsmouth
(N. H.) Journal:
The oldest house now standing, built
in Portsmouth, is the quaint brick house
on the Weeks farm, in Greenland. This
is no blunder, although it seems like
one, for at the time that house was built
Greenland was a part of Portsmouth.—
We can find no written record of the
year of its being built, but a family tra
dition dates its erection in 1637, by the
father of Leonard Weeks. The house
was built on the main road, but the
straightening of the road half a century
ago throws it on a circular lane several
rods on the side. The speckled appear
ance of the house is made by having
black headers scattered among the bricks
a ll over the front. The bricks were
burnt in front of the house. The walls
of the house are eighteen inches thick.
It is of two - stories ; the lower story is
eight and a half feet, the second eight
feet.l The windows were originally of
small diamond glass, set in lead. Some
of them have been in the house within
the last fifty years. The timbers used
throughout the house and for the roof
are an of hard wood. The beams in the
cellar are squared 12 by 14 inches, The
sleepers are of red oak, about ten inches
in diameter, with the bark on. There
are planks on the inside of the Walls,
and the plastering is Ott reft wood nailed
to the plank. There are marks of the
house being injured by art earthquake,
probably in 1755. If tradition is cor
rect, this is the oldest house in N. Eng
land, being 228 years old.
The house was evidently built as a
sort of garrison, with a view of safety
from being burnt by the Indians.

CIRCULATION 1,6 50_
With MALICE toward none, with CHARITY for ALL, with
firmness in the MOBS, let us strive to finish the work
we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care
for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his
widow and orphans. and to do alt Which may achieve
and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves
and withal! nations.—A. Linnets—Mallen 4,1865.
LIBERTY forever! Our friends there
are entitled to unspeakable praise for
their splendid victory. We believe that
Mr. Philander Wright, said to have
been a candidate for Congress against
Wilson, made his last bow in Liberty.
He deprecated the tax on nails in his
speech there, and made a knock-down
argument against the insufferable tax
on. pickles. Whether this accounts for
his running behind Clymer there or not
we cannot say. But it is plain that
Liberty and Wright do not agree. '
Considerable excitement was created
throughout the country last week by a
despatch from Washington to the Phil
adelphia Ledger, purporting to give the
substance of certain interrogatories sub
mitted by the President to the Attorney
General, pointing to the repudiation of
the XXXIXth Congress as an uncon
stitutional body, by the President.
The dispatch was a cruel hoax. The
President authorizes the correspondent
of the N. Y. Pribune to say that no in
terrogatories of that kind have been_
submitted by him to - anybody, and that
he has never questioned the legality of
the present Congress.,
While the utterances of the President
Lent an air of probability to the dispatch
—it is evident that the gold gamblers
,were at the bottom of it. It sent gold
up three per cent., and made the for
tunes of many scoundrels.
DID THEY LIE P
We call the Copperhead papers in this
Congressional district into Court, to af
firm or deny the truth of their allega
tions during the campaign.
They have constantly and vociferous
ly alleged that a vote for Geary aud Wil
son was a vote tn make the negro the
equal of the white man.
They have persistently declared that
Stephen F.+ NNTilson voted to establish
negro suffrage in Pennsylvania, and
that a vote for him would result in giv
ing the negro the ballot.
- They declared that a refusal to en
dorse "my policy" wouldsesult in ano
ther civil war, this time in the North.
They declared that Congress had vo
ted $3OO to the new° soldier, as a boun
ty, and but $lOO , tgB the white soldier.
They declared that the Civil Rights
bill forced negroes to marry whites, and
whites to marry negroes, under a pen
alty of a fine of $l,OOO and imprison
ment.
They declared that Stephen F. Wilson
voted to make the negro the equal of
the white man, voted to raise his salary,
and voted against giving additional
bounty to the soldiers.
Now tl.e questions to be considered,
and to which we demand replies, are:
Did Mr. Wilson vote to establish ne
gro suffrage in Pennsylvania?
Does his election give the ntigro the
ballot?
Did Congress vote $3OO bounty to ne
gro soldiers, and only $lOO to whites?
Does the Civil Rights bill in any re
spect regulate the social relations of men
or classes in the United States?
Can law make men equal in any re
spect save as regards civil rights and
privileges?
. Did not Mr. Wilson vote to give all
soldiers who had received no local boun
ty, $8 1-3 per month in addition to their
regular wages?
Now that Pennsylvania has refused to
endorse "my policy," are we to have
civil war in the North? If so, who is
to inaugurate it?
We have said many times, and now
reiterate it, that when these Copperhead
leaders do not lie, they do nothing worth
mentioning.
They made the campaign upon the
basest of lies. They threatened civil
war unless the people should vote their
ticket. But it was a contest between
the people and the politicians, and the
people proposed to vote with reference
to conscience.
The people have well considered eve
rything relating to the canvass r and
they have decided that if civil war
comes, the men who inaugurate it shall
never inaugurate another: We trust
that this is perfectly understood by these,
political villains. Having passed thro'
one civil war, the American people now
know exactly what to do in the begin
ning.
However, we do not suppose that
there will be any war. The people have
spoken in language too plain and ex
pressive to be lightly passed over. An
drew Johnson, being a demagogue, is a
timid, time -serving man, and will heed
this terrible
.rebuke. The hope of an
usurper's Congress composed of rebels
and Copperheads vanishes as the thun
der from Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana, and lowa, echoes through the
streets of Washington.
Among the small posters used against
Mr. WlLsorz by his antagonist during
the campaign, was this : "If I could
make the negro the equal of the white
man by voting him the elective fran
chise, I would do it so quick it would
make your head swim
This, Mr, Wilson was alleged to have
said in a speech responsive to a serenade
soon after his return froth Washington.
We heard the speech, but do not rec
ollect this passage. It is as if he had
I, ,
said, that if by voting he could make
man equal to the angels, he would do it.
We go further : If by voting we could
make a rebel or Copperhead leader - the
moral equal of a loyal negro, we would
do it at once. If by voting we could
make some of the Copperhead editors
below the mountain the intellectual
equals of Fred. Douglass, we would do
that. But voting will not make men
morally, socially or intellectually equal.

WILSON'S MAJORITY IN THE DIST
RIOT ABOUT 1.800 !!!
Ninety-nine Cheers and a Tiger !
REPUBLICANS, you have a right to be
proud of your day's work on the 9th
day of October. On that day Pennsyl
vania replied to Maine in tones of thun
der, and rebuked Andrew Johnson as
never President was before rebuked by
the American people. The people have
decided that treason shall be made odi
ous and traitors punished; that Con
gress shall make the laws, not the Pres
ident; that the President is the servant,
not the master of the people; that the
States lately in rebellion shall be repre
sented in Congress, but only when they
shall have given indemnity for the past
and security for the future. These things
the people have decided, and it will be
come the President to accept the situa
tion.
The vote in this county is heavy-8,4-
19, against 6,127 in 1883, the highest .vote
east previously. The Republicans 'cast
of these, 4,791, against 4,504 in 1863, a
gain of 287 Our - opponents cast 1,628
votes this year, against 1,617 in 1863—a
gain of eleven, only. We carry every
district in the county save Fall Brook,
which gives Clymer 38 majority. , The
last ditch of modern Democracy is Fall
Brook, evidently. It is a comfort to
know that we have found the hole into
which that faction has retired.
Every district is worthy of praise.—
But Oceola is the banner district on per
centage, there being twenty-nine Re
publicans there to one Copperhead.—
This is the highest praise we can be
stow-upon any district. Charleston out
did herself, which is something tremen
dous—her majority being 341 for Geary.
Delmar has redeemed herself and made
us all proud. Her majority is 276. Tio
ga, Richmond, Sullivan, Mansfield,
Mainsburg, and Covington—especially
the latter—have covered themselves
with glory. But what shall be said of
Liberty! In 1864 it gave Wright 67
majority, and uow it gives Wilson 12!
Hail, Liberty ! Thou art redeemed, re
generated, disenthralled! The gain in
Westfield is 52 over Lincoln in 1864,
while our opponents lose five. Bully
for Westfield I—the " growingest" dis
trict in the county. Brookfield, Chat
ham, Bloss, Elkiand, Gaines, Lawrence
and borough, Morris, Nelson, Rutland,
Shippen, Union, Ward, Farmington,
Jackson, and Wellsboro, fought a grand
fight arid gained on old majorities hand
somely. Bloss is entitled to distinction
in this fight; and Knoxville is one , of
the towns which gained on herself and
reduced the vote of the enemy.
Friends, we have again proved that
"they win who work."
We defer further comparison until
next week.
In Pennsylvania we have a gain of
two Congressmen—CovoDE, in the 21st
district, and Gen. H. L. CAKE, in the
10th district. Dawson, Copperhead, is
the sitting member from the former,
and Strouse, ditto, from the latter.
The Legislature will stand 35 majori
ty, Republican,on joint ballot; this will
insure a man for U. S Senator in place
of Edgar Cowan, renegade.
In Ohio we have 16 Union Congress
men, and in Indiana 8 out of 11.
In lowa we have carried every Con
gressman.

i y u o t u u
g s i r e k A ,
r fr y b o l feeble and
o c f o o rn r
--
der—your system deranged and
your feelings uncomfortable
These symptoms are often the pre
cursors of serious illness. Some
fit of sickness is creeping upon you, and should
be averted by a timely use of the right remedy.
Take Ayer's Pills, and drive out the humors—
purity the blood, and let the fluids move on un
obstructedly, in health. They stimulate the or
gans of the body into vigorous activity, purify
th e s y s t em fr om the obstructions which make dis
ease. A cold settles somewhere in the body, and
deranges the natural operations of that part.—
This, if not relieved, will react upon itself and
the surrounding organs, producing general ag
gravation, suffering and derangement. While in
this condition, take Ayer's Pills, and see bow di
rectly they restore the natural action of the sys
tem, and with it the buoyant feeling of health.—
What is true and so apparent in this trivial and
common complaint, is also true in many of the
deep seated and dangerous diseases. The came
purgative expels them. Caused by similar ob
structions and derangements, they are surely, and
many of them rapidly, cured by the same means.
None who know the virtue of these Pills will neg
lect to employ them when suffering from the dis
orders they cure, such as headaehe, foul stom
ach, dysentery, bilious complaints, indigestion,
derangement of the liver, costiveness, constipa
tion, heartburn, rheumatism, dropsy, worms and
suppression, when taken in large doses.
They are sugar coated, so that the most sensi
tive can take them easily, and they are surely
the best purgative medicine yet discovered.
For the speedy and certain Cure of Intermittent
Fever, or Chills and Fever, Remittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Dumb Ague, Periodical Headachy,
or Bilious Headache, and Bilious Fevers; iii
deed for the whole class of diem:ties ori9inativ .
in biliarg derangement, caused by the malaria of
miasmatic countries.
This remedy ha rarely failed to cure the se
verest cases of Chiire and Fever, and it has this
great advantage ove other Ague medicines, that
it subdues the complaint without injury to 'the
patient. It contains no quinine or other delete—
rious substance, aor dues it produce quinism or
any injurious effect whatever. Shaking broth
ers of the army and the west, try it and you will
endorse these assertions.
