Hpeotal ItBKAi.D Correspondence. I'ottsvillk, July 1, N two weeks tlmo July lrith, when tho Demo cratic Executive Com mittee meets hero to fix tho tlmo for holding tho county nominating convention, tho polit leal ball will bo started on iu four months' roll in earnest. One can only anticipate what will happen from tho signs thrown out now and then by the wistneros of tho various parties, and those wiseacres are vory often tho most piofouudly dumb and stupidest creatures the field. That know It-all and never. know anything fellow who tells you what Is going to happen Is ns numerous as tho cholera u .Mecca and almost aj loathsomo. Ono of these fellows told me tho other day that William D. Seltzer, Esq., would bo nominated for Judge by tho Bepubllcans this year, and thou would he beatou at tho polls. And all this In face of tho historic fact that when the peoplo come to uuko a Judge In Schuylkill opuuty ihoy havo a habit of voting very independently ; so that, scorning tho information of tuo would-be prophet, you may record it that no ono knows how tho cat is going to jump this year no moro than it was known last year or years agono In tho language of ttio poet it may bo slid that No o o can tell, sir, Whether It wilt be some ono oJsq or Seltzer : Here is sure to uj a nuia neu, sir. or your onrcspondent knows nothing about tho signs of the timo. SKLTZKU IS IN EAIINKST. For the nomination on the Iiepublican side tho bold Bismarck of the two cities has the Iusido tra k. No ouo is opposing Mr. Seltzer, so far as hoard from, except Mr. T. U. B. Lyon, and whiio he is not a candidate whose judiciary ampliations aro to bo scornod while he is, in fact, a formidable antagonist, Brother Soltzer has tho workers of the party with him, and if bo is really In earnest ho will so pull the strings that ho will havo a two thirds vote for the norninati iu. "If he 1$ really In earnest," I havo written, because thero is occasionally exprosscd a doubt about Mr. Seluer's carnestnebs, I can put ull doubt at rest on that point. Ho is dreadfully in earnest, and if ho should not get tho nomina tion ho will be tho most disappointed man in old Schuylkill. Not u day passes but brings him encouraging nowa, ami ho is urged to stay In the tle'd for all tho fight is worth. Mr. Seltzer's withdrawing days ure over, ho says, and ho is now for himself in earnest. WADMNQEIl VS. WEIDMAN. On the other sido of tho houso It is learned that George Wadllugnr, Esq., Is working like a beaver to get the nomination, whllo Judge Weidmsu's friends aro lying low with tho expectation that the candidates for the other otlices will force the Judgo's nomination. All the candidates for other offices, save one, aro said to bo for Wcidman, and they will instruct their delegates to put him at the head ol the ticket. The ouo candidate who is accredited to be for Wadlluger is slid to be Weakening In his choice, and he is oxpected to be a Wcidmau advocate before the Exec utive Committee meets. This will leave Mr Wadlinger A lone warrior lu the battle; but backed by the county organization, so far as Chairman Lltsch can control of it, and this is so strong just now that it cannot be discounted, Wadlinger may capture the nomination in spite of all the other ottioe-seokors iu the field, aud tbon be will snap his fingers at tho foemau's tauuta. He proved a few years ago, in 1601, that lie was much stronger in a Democratic convention than he was before the people, and history may repeat itself. Now if you can gather from anything herein written whether It will be Seltzer or Lyon ou the one slue aud Weld man or Wadlinger on the other, you aro welcome to tell your mother-in-law all about it A BADLY FOOLKD MAN, One of the first candidates to enter the field for Controller was August Wachtor, one of our present County Auditors. His first name would be more appropriate if it were April 1st than August, when It is oited to him what his lawyer (who is expected to run his office if he la elected) should have told him before be inserted his cash in nowspaper announcements. Seotlon seeond of tho act oreatiug the o&loe reads: "No person holding office uuder the United States or this state, or iu any oily or county therein, shall be eligible to the office of County Controller during his eontiuuauce in office as aforesaid nor until one year thereafter, and the County Commissioners, Couuty Treasurer, Protbono tary, ItegUter of Wills, Clerk of the Court, Recorder or Deeds, Sheritr and District Attorney, aud their chief clerks or deputies, shall beiuellgible lor two yean to the office of OouEty Controller, provided the said Con trailer shall always, bo eligible to reelection appelate! t.

Tho Shenandoah baso ball team suffered its second defeat of the season at tho trottlnc iark yesterday afternoon and received it from tho Jeanesvilio club, which ranks among tho best amateur organizations in the stato. It was a pretty, good gamo all through and an excellent ono up to the third inning, when McNoalls, Drumhoisor and Hockmau made three very costly errors which paved tho way for tho visitors to score fivo runs and securo a decided lead. Ucckman also mado very costly error iu the fourth inning aud allowed two runs to bo scored. His pivoting at short docs not take here, as it makes his throwing unreliable. Twico ho throw tho ball far above tho first baseman's head when tho play was critical for the homo toam. Drumheiser did not put up as good a gamo at second as he did when he played here with tho Shamoklu team. Ueckmau paid up for his errorous woik later In tho gamo, but it aino too lato. After the fourth inning tho spectators were given an exhibition moro in kooplng with that of tho first part of tho game, although It must bo admitted that tho homo toam was In groat danger soveral times. Sotley was batted protty freely occasionally, but his work was far more effective on tho wholo than that of the visiting pitcher. JEANKSVILLE.

As soon as possible I appliod two AUoock a Porous Plasters, ono over eaob kidney, and laid down. In an hour, to my surprise aud delight, the pain had vanished aud I was well. I woro the plasters for a day or two as a precaution, and then removed them.

USE DANA'S 8ABSAPAEILLA, its "THE KIND THAT CUBES." QUITE A SURPRISE. J. Frrguum Agulu Takes Charge ut the Lehigh Depot. P.J. Ferguson again took charge of the Lehigh Valloy depot this morning, replacing Mr. T. J. Davles. Tho change was a great surprise, as only Mr. Ferguson and perhaps a fow of his most intimate friends, k nnw It ivos to take place. Mr. Davies received his first notification yesterday and left for Philadelphia to confer with the officials. Mr. Ferguson said this morning: T had mado arrangements to leave to-day with a party of Philadelphia gentlemen to make a European trip for pleasure, hut my program in o was changed by a notification that I was to bo appointed to tho position I assumed this morning. In addition to my duties as assist ant claim agent I assume tho management of the combined stations in this town under tho Philadelphia & Beading system." Mr. Ferguson was agent at the Lehigh Valley depot for several years until tho Beading combination system was put in force, when Mr. Davles took charge of the depot, having been agent at the old P. & B. depot. Mr. Ferguson has since devoted his attention to his positions as assistant claim agent and local agent for the Adams Express Company. The United States Express Com pany has the contract with the Beading system and when asked if he would bo obliged to give up the Adams agency Mr. Ferguson said he was unable to say what would be done, but he intimated that possi bly Jamea Quinu would be appointed to take charge of the Adams business. Mr. Qulun whs a former employe at the Lehigh dejiot and when the consolidation took place he becaiuo Mr. Ferguson's assistant In tho express business. Nothing has been learned of Mr. Davles' intentions for the future. A miss'ep will ofteu make a cripple for life.
