Convention re-assembled at 1:30 o'clock and the following preamble and resolu tions offered by Jacob Bowers and P. J. Nevln, committee, were adopted : WnEBEAS, Past experience has fully demon strated the policy, and Impropriety of fnrtber continuing tue corrupt practice ot Having tne mnn seek the ofllce, and thus bring luto dis repute our whole political machinery. And whereas, It Is the honest desire of the Greenback Labor Reform party to securely bar the door of our party against the admission of any and all dead beats, and professional politi cal wire-pullers into our ranks. Therefore be it resolved that we will support no man as a candidate for ofllce of whatsoever kind In Perry county, who does not receive his nomination as follows i That every election precinct in the county has the right, if it so desires, to name one man (as candidate lor one particular office and no more), whose name shall be presented to the Convention by the delegates representing tne candidate's district, and one or both of said delegates shall be re quired to state in open Convention, that the gentleman named did not seek the nomination , but that his name is announced as the choice of his district, and that no candidate shall be allowed to canvass or have his name an nounced before the Convention by any other dletrlct than the district In which the candl date resides. Betolv ed. That we. the representatives of the United Greenback and Labor Reform Parties, In Convention assembled, do heartily and unanimously approve the platform and resolu tions adopted at Wllllamsport, Pa., on the lUth of September, and that we leave nothing undone to Insure the success of the Btate ticket then and there nominated. Jietolved. That the county ticket placed in nomination this day be given the full, free and hearty support of all in attendance at this convention. The Convention then proceeded to nominate candidates. For Associate Judge, Harrison M'Cracken, of Buffalo twp., received 14 votes, and Samuel Haines, of Oliver twp., 2 votes. For Sheriff, Geo. W. Wetzel, of Penn twp., received 14 votes, and Geo. W Kissinger, of Marysvllle, 2 votes. The name of J. W.

Their traveling expenses are paid by the churches they visit. Duncannon has called Rev. W. W. Downey on $800 and a free pursonage. Millerstown lias a new parsonage. West end of county was not represented but it Is hoped the officers of vacant churches in that sec tion will soon assemble their members to devise measures, for keeping open Ood's houses and for continuous preaching of his word therein. Paul Schoenpe Turns Up. The Cincinnati Commercial of a recent date publishes the following paragraph under the cap tion of "Adventures of a Bogus Count:" Many will remember the then notorious case, several years ago,of Taul Schoeppe, who was tried In Pennsylvania for poisoning a Miss Stelnnecke, who was very wealthy. He was twice convicted of murder in the first degree, ana on the third trial was convicted in the third degree. Through the influence of friends ha was soon pardoned out of prison. Subsequently he came to ; Cin cinnati, and under the name and title of Count Schulenburg, figured in an en gagement of marriage with a well known German actress. On the day the mar riage was set for, he encountered a former eastern acquaintance, who recog nized him, whereupon he immediately fled. Under the same name he was convicted of forgery In Chicago and served two years in the Jollet peniten tiary. Afterwards he obtained a posi tion as a German writer on the Courier newspaper in St. Louis, but was soon Identified and dismissed. Thence he went to New York city, where he was known as Count Schmettow. As Count Schmettow he recently applied for by letter and obtained a position on the editorial staff of one of the Cincinnati morning dailies. Yesterday he arrived here. He was not long in the city be fore he met an old St. Louis acquain tance, who threatened to expose him. The last known of the Count was his taking an afternoon train for the west. V Run Off and Smash Up. On Monday afternoon Daniel Bmlth and George Al bright took George W. Charters' horse out of the latter's stable, and hitched it to the light market wagon for the pur pose, they say, of bringing home a load of pine knots, with which to make light when fishing after night. On their way back to this place, later in the evening, near Esh el man's mill, they collided with William Toomey, who was driving home in a buggy, breaking the shafts of the later's vehicle, besides doing other damage to the buggy. The market wagon fared worse, having been upset, the top was torn off, one wheel was badly dished, and the shafts were bro ken ,while the pine knots were scattered belter skelter. The wagon was left standing where the smash-up occurred, and Mr. Charters' horse ran home, where he was found, in the stable, with the harness badly broken and hanging in all shapes over the animal's body. Newport News. K ery Singular. The Duncannon Record says : Some three weeks ago there ap peared, justx under the right jaw of Arthur Toland, son of our postmaster, a lump about the size of a shellbark, which the boy's parents supposed to be a boil, and which his mother began forthwith to poultice. The lump con. tlnued to increase in size till it became almost as large as a hen egg,and on Sun day when changing the poultice, -Mrs. Toland saw what she supposed to be the core of the boll, but what proved to be a hideous brown worm nearly an Inch in length. The reptile is still alive at this writing (Monday), and is exhibited by Toland to all curious beholders. Lucky Escape. George Fasick, who now resides near Tyrone, Blair county made a very narrow escape from being shot by two burglurs, From the facts before us, we learn that last week two burglars attempted to break into a store or house near his residence, and, he hearing the racket went to see what it meant. When the men saw him and his wife they skulked away, but after moving away about fifty or sixty yards one of them turned and fired at Mr. Fasick, the ball passing so close to his head that he heard it whistle. We con gratulate George on hls narrow escape ana nope ne may never again expe rience the same. Twlce-a- Week. A Curious Fact. The HarrlHhnro- Patriot says : A well-known Market street Jeweller gives the following curi ous fact in reference to the use of tobac co: He does not use the weed, neither does one of his workmen. One of the employees of his store uses tobacco al most to excess. The former two can handle any polished tool in the shop and lay it aside again, without wiping It off, and no injury will follow, while, on the other hand, if the employee who in dulges in tobacco, forgets to wipe off any of the tools of a fine finish1, rust spots will invariably appear In a very short time. Missing Letters. Postmaster General Key has addressed the following letter to postmasters throughout tho country, and they will be placarded conspicuous ly in the respective post offices : " Postmasters are required to keep a complaint book in which all letters ire ported to them as lost are to be entered and, after making examinations In their offices, they are required to report the loss with all particulars without delay. 1 he public are also Invited to report promptly all losses or Irregularities in the correspondence to chief special agent, post oflice department, Washington, D. C, and investigation will follow. If all Iosrps should be promptly reported It win ne ine means or correcting tne ir regularities, and the interest of the pub lic, as well as the efficiency of the postal servloe. will lie enhanced in a most im portant degree. The omission of the county in the address of letters Is one of the great causes of : delay and mls sendlug." The Game Laws. The game laws of Pennsylvania limit the period for the shooting of game, as follows Wild turkeys, from October 1 to January 1 ; plover, from August 15 to January 1 woocock, from July 1 to January 1; quail, from October 1 to January 15 ; pheasants, from October 1 to January 1 rail and reed birds, from September 1 to December 1 ; rabbits, from October 15 to December 15 ; deer, from October 1 to January 1.

On Friday last, Samuel Rupert, an aged citizen or our borough, while walk. ing on the railroad track a short dis tance above the depot, made a marvelous escape from being killed. The Jjiilsburg freight was backing up the main track. and Mr. R., being very deaf, did not near the approach, of the tram in nis rear, and would have been struck by the first car had not Mr. Beatty, one of the train men, observed bim, ana fail ing to attract his attention by calling to him, jumped from the train, ran ahead and pushed bim on the track, just in time to save his life, being slightly struck cy tne bumper nimsen. jo. Juniata County. We copy the follow ing from the Juniata county papers of last week. On Monday moraine, lust as Mrs Solomon Books stepped into her gar den, a pheasant flew Into the crarden.
