After listening to tho report of the oom

board adopted bj a unanimous voto a resolu
tion to fix tho school tax rate at 14 mills.
This rate is one mill below the rato of last

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

office if he la elected) should have told him

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.

The Itest In the World.
Senator Henry O. Nelson, of New York,
writes: "On the 27th of February, 1833. I
was taken with a violent pain iu the region
of the kidneys. I suffered such agony that I
could hardly stand up. 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. I have been using
Alloock's Porous Plasters iu my family for
the last ten year, and have always found
them the quickest and best remedy for colds,
strains and rheumatlo affeotlons. From my
experience I believe they aro the best plasters
In the world."

mado arrangements to leave to-day with a
party of Philadelphia gentlemen to make a
