In addition to the editorial change It has recently received a new dress, and 'is one of the best printed papers in the State. As a reliable, Republican paper it has no superior. ' Doctor Tanner-Is making a fool of himself in New York. He is trying to convince the world that a fast of forty days and nights is among the possibil ities. He is watched day and night by ' two physicians to see that uo nourish ment is taken, and to note the symp toms. What good can .come from such an exhibition is not stated. For foolish shows, New York can lead the world. He has now fasted twelve days. The Richmond (Va.) Commonwealth says: "We have seen evidences of a disposition to parade before our peo ple the times and places where General Hancock, iu the command of the fed eral forces, overthrew the Confederate forces. We hope this will be discon tinued. Our people have uo hankering for crow, however it may be dished." It is a little rough to have Hancock's military record given as a reason why he should be voted for by .men who fought in the rebel army. The Secretary of the Treasury is rather premature in his announcement of the large amount of fractional cur rency that has been lost. He takes it for granted that the fourteen millions not yet presented for redemption has been destroyed. He Will find that much of it is safe, and will yet "come home." Many persons who have small sums of it keep it till they need a fractional part of a dollar to send by mail and in that way a sum that will aggregate a large . amount is yet held and Is still liable to he sent in for redemption. . The Seventh Annual picnic of -the Patrons of Husbandry is to be held aX Williams Grove, Cumberland county on August 21th, 25th, 20th and 27th. According to the circular issued by Mr. JR. II.

Connected with the picnic will be an agricultural and horticultural exhibition, and agrlcultur aLlectures will be delivered on Wednes day, Thursday and Friday by Prof. 8. B. Helgea of York. Weaver Expects to be President. Y General Weaver, the Greenback can ' -dldate far the Presidency says : " I ex pect to be President. I expect the Green backers will carry Maine, Texas, Wis consin and Michigan. This will throw the election into the House, and by a combination of Greenbackers, Demo crats and Independents, I will be chos en President." Now as we know how it is all to end, wJiat is the use of the oth er two parties .making any fuss about the matter V Bur Cities. The .Census returns for 1860 have been so far .completed as to show with reason able accuracy the populations of most of our larger cities.

EDITORIAL EXCURSION. On Monday evening, June 28th, the members of the Pennsylvania Editorial Association, many of them, accom panied by ladies, met at Wllllamsport to proceed on their annual excursion. At half-past nine on Tuesday morning, the P. R. R. Company with their usual lib erality, started a special train which took the Excursionists through to Wat kins, which place waa reached about one o'clock. The large number of persons present on this trip made it necessary to divide the party between two hotels neither being of sufficient capacity to care for the whole number. The Secre ry of the Association previous to arrival had rooms assigned each member of the party, some rooming at the Glen Moun tain House and some at the Glen Park. The latter hotel is located at the foot of the Glen in the town, while the former is about half a mile up the mountain, in as romantic a place as can be found in the United Btates. Communication be tween the houses is had by carriage road along precipices which were appal ing to nervous ladles, or by walk up the Glen, which was generally preferred. Some of the views around Watklns are charming and must be seen to tie ap preciated. On Wednesday morning a train took the party to the pretty town of Penn Yan, from where the steamboat " Yates" carried them to Hammonds port, which is Bltuated at the upper end of lake Keuka, about 20 miles distant. On the way up, a landing was made at the Urbanna Wine Co's works, where the vaults and other parts of the prem ises were inspected. Arriving at one of the upper rooms we found that the Su perintendent of the works, Col. A. J. Swltzer had long tables spread, and ar rangements made for a fair test of the various wines manufactured by the company. It was a surprise to many of those present to see the complete ar rangements for making and preparing lug these wines for market. Already the wines made by this Company have a National reputation, and It will not be long before they will generally take the place of imported wines. The still wines made by this Company are valua ble for medicinal purposes, owing to their purity and delicacy of flavor. Reaching Hammondsport, a lunch was served at the Fairchild House, which was unanimously pronounced to be the best meal enjoyed on the trip. The ride up the lake was a delightful one. The shore of the lake on the one side is lined with pretty farms, and on the other side, the banks are covered with vineyards. Should you visit the town of Penn Yan however, you had best give the hack men of the place as little chance as pos sible to " skin" you. The party reach ed Watklns again at about half-past sev en, with good appetites for supper and sufficiently tired to enjoy a good night's sleep. On Thursday morning a portion of the party took the steamboat for a short trip up Seneca Lake, others took carriages for Havana Glen, some start ed for home, and others went to Elmira. We were among the latter, and Bpent a very pleasant afternoon looking around that place, which we found to be a very pretty city. If you visit that town and want a delightful stopping place, go to the Frazler House. You will find the landlord a gentleman and the house was the best kept of any we visited during our absence. On Friday morning many of the party took the early train for home, while others waited for a special train which had been provided. The Editorial Association is greatly indebted to the Pennsylvania Roil Road Com pany, and to the untiring exertions of their Secretary, Robt. S. Menamix, for a very pleasant trip. Destructive Fire In Tyrone. On Thursday morning at about three o'clock, a fire broke out In the livery stable in the rear of the City Hotel in Tyrone. It spread rapidly over the principal business portion of the town, destroying all the banks and about twenty-five other buildings, including the post-office and opera house. Owing to a lack of water, the citizens became panic-stricken, but the timely arrival of steamers from Altoona and Huntingdon did much to allay the excitement. Among the buildings destroyed are two banks, the Herald and Democrat print ing offices, two jewelry stores, two sta tionery stores, post office, two dry goods stores and several other business and dwelling bouses. The upper story of the City hotel, corner of Main and Juni ata streets, was also burned. Two fire companies from Altoona and one from Huntingdon assisted at the fire. The loss is estimated at $135,000 to $150,000 and the insurance at from 500,000 to $75,000. Strange Sight at Sea. HalikAXj N. SJuly 0- Mr. Stod dard, seoond mate of the brlgantlne Fortunate, whloh arrived on Suudoy from the West Indies, reported that one night while passing along the coast of Florida on a recent voyage a singular phenomenon appeared just after dark. Two oolumns of fire were seen, seem ingly about a mile away. They were about fifty yards apart, and rose to a height of 600 feet, when they reached toward each other, but did not meet. They burned with a steady dull red color, and did not emit any sparks, but at the arching portions emitted tre medous rays or pencils of light slmlllar to an aurora borealls. They appeared in sight all night and gradually faded away asldayllght came. The weather was beautifully clear and not a cloud was visible during the entire night. On the following day there was a tremend ous thunderstorm. A Threshing Engine Disaster. Cincinnati, June 0. A special from Dunkirk, Hardin county, Ohio, says : "The boiler of a threshing engine ex ploded here to-day, killing seven and wounding eight persons. Two of the latter have since died and three others, it is said, cannot survive. The engine was made at Easton, N. Y. It was new and had never been used until to-day. The killed are as follows: William FrederIck,Rlchard Case,flreman ; Wash ington Folsel, George Poisel, Amosa Herman, Harry Brown, engineer; un known man sent out with the engine from Easton. Of the wounded, Robert Thrush and a son of Wm. Frederick have died. The excitement is intense." Too Much Water. Des Moines, July 8. A terrific rain storm prevailed In this section last night and twenty miles west of here took the form of a water spout. At Vanweter the town was submerged, three feet and forty rods of the embankment of the Chicago and Rock Island road was washed away. The Tacifid express which left Chicago yesterday, is side tracked here awaiting repair of the road. At Wintersett the Chicago and Rock Island rail road round house was demol ished. The corn is crushed to the earth and badly twisted, causing serious dam age, it is feared to the crop. The worst effects of the storm are westward. A Scared Party. On Thursday a week, during the prev alence of a terrlfilo thunder storm at Chambersburg, a party of colored men were engaged in playing cards, when the lightning suddenly came down the chimney, covering a man and his wife, who were lying on a bed In an upper room, with bricks and mortar. The fluid then entered the lower room, tear ing the table at which the players were engaged Into a thousand pieces, and thoroughly frlghtning the darkies. Not withstanding the force of the concussion was so great as to blow out the windows and damage the house considerably, none of the occupants were seriously injured.
