THE YORK GAZETTE. YORK, PENN'A: Tuesday Morning, Dec. 9, 1884. SPECIAL ELECTION, Tuesday, Dec. FOR CONGRESS, JOHN A.
SWOPE, OF ADAMS COUNTY. YORK, PA, Dec. 8, 1884. The Chairman of the County Committee desires to call the attention of the Democracy of the county to the importance of the special election for representative in Congress to be held on the 23rd of the current month. The nomination to fill the unexpired term of the lamented William A.
Duncan, was, with great unanimity, conceded to Adame county and Dr. John A. Swope was named with not one dissenting voice, under the roles of the district. He is a Jeffersonian Democrat of the parest type; a men without stain, and a public spirited citizen, who never sought office, but, on the contrary, accepta in the present instance, only for the good of the party and the He is entitled: to our most hearty and united support, and it respectfully urged that every Democrat York county be at the polls on election cast his ballot for our most worthy candidate. Let his majority be such as to show that our people understand the advantage able and vigilant representative at Washington, under existing circ*mstances, and are determined to strengthen his bands by the strongest proofs of popular support.
Election December 23rd. Let every Democrat do his duty. A. F. GEESEY, Chairman: Address A the Chairman of the Democri ic County Committee.
ROOMS OF THE -DEMOCRATIC COUNTY COMMITTEE, Our 1 Nominee for Congress. We publish in another column a short sketch of the life of Dr. John A. Swope, of Gettysburg, the Democratic nominee of the 19th Congressional district, to fill the unexpired term of Hon. Wm.
A. Duncan, dec'd, to the 48th Congress, which will end on the 4th of Marsh next. As will be seen, he springs from the Smyser family of York County, which is coextensive with its history, and has furnished many honored pames to this community. Dr. Swope is gentleman of education, a Democrat from principle, and in full accord with the spirit of progress which sounds the doom of the rascals and calls for better men and measures of administration in the interest of the people.
In presenting his name the Conference has done wisely and the nomination will be heartily endorsed at the polls. A Nebraska exchange publishes the official vote of that state, from which we learn that it has sixty-nine counties, or three more than Pennsylvania. Some of them are not extraordinarily large, dee has only 103 votes, and Keith only 139, while a large number have but 200 or 300. Possibly, however, the counties are more populous than these figures would seem to indicate and a greater number of voters would have been out but for intimidation. The Tribune might look this matter up.
All the conditions are here for quite as strong a case as it has made up against the South. Up Grade. The official returns show that Governor Cleveland received 27,220 more votes for President this year than he received two years ago for Governor, although his majority then was 192,710. Our neighbor Dr. C.
H. Bressler, is likely to be accorded the honor of leading the remnant of the plumed knights of this Congressional district for Congress. Whenever the honor is simply that of a nomination without any hope of reward, his party is quick to remember his services, but when honors and emoluments go together they always set up eight against 'his seven. The Doctor is a good fellow and deserves better of his party, but even his broad Shoulders cannot bear the weight of all its sins, and the Democrats will have to turn him down once more as a reminder that he is still in very bad company. Mr.
Blaine's friends should recollect that it was not "the Solid South" that played thunder with their hopes. It was a divided North that turned up "jack" Logan and his wicked partner. or himself.

He had engaged to give the American people good government for four years at so much a year, and he will not permit himself to even seem to be interested in any other direction, by accepting favors of any kind from any other source.

Dr. John A. Swope. The Democratic nominee for the vacancy in the present Congress was born in Gettysburg 57 years, ago; son of George and Margaret Swope. After an early training in the local educational institutions, he entered Princeton College and graduated there in 1847, in the same class with his intimate friend and associate, Hiester Clymer.
Then entering upon a medical course, he read in the office of the late Dr. David Horner and graduated in the Medical Department of Pennsylvania College at Philadelphia. He commenced the practice of medicine at Hanover, and married his first wife, the oldest daughter of the late Jacob Wirt, deceased. Having no taste for the profession, he relinquished it for mercantile pursuits; but the feeble health of his mother and increasing cares of his father induced him to return to Gettysburg, where he has resided ever since, both parents passing away during the time. Dr.
Swope's relations to this community repeat largely those of his grandfather, George Smyser, and his father, George Swope. The first-named was a member of the large and influential Smyser family, the head of which settled within three miles of York one hundred and forty years ago, and at the centennial celebration of which event Hon. George Smyser presided. When a yeung man ready, to look out for himself, George's attention was directed to Adams county, and he purchased the farm and mill at Table Rock, in Butler township, now Lower's. There he followed farming and milling until he had acquired a competency for those days, and then removed to Gettysburg, where, by his activity and liberality in all efforts for the improvement and prosperity of the town, he 8000 became one of its most useful and prominent citizens.
He was among the originators of the Gettysburg Water Company, and served as Director and President; also as director and President of the Bank of Gettysburg and for a number of years as Associate Judge of our Courts. Judge Smyser's local investments and duties descended to his-son-in-law, Mr. George Swope, who in turn filled the offices of Director and President of the Water Company, President of the Bank of Gettysburg and the National Bank of Gettysburg up to the time of his death, a period of more than thirty years. Both died at advanced ages, leaving pure and honorable records; the records of an eminently good citizenship. To Dr.
Swope, the only living child, nearly the same cares and duties have fallen. He has succeeded his father in the Presidency of the Bank; has been President of Evergreen Cemetery Association, and a Director in the Water Compaoy also chosen to membership in the College and Seminary Boards. In addition he is the owner and manager of a large farm on Marsh creek, and his warm interest in agriculture induces him to give, it much attention, as he will for the same reason give to the general subject in Congress whenever it may arise. The political path of the grandfather, George Smyser, was taken when quite young, during the administration of the elder Adams. Passing a collector of Dational taxes or exciseman in co*cked hat and uniform, a boyish remark to a comrade caused his arrest by the officer for "disrespect," and although discharged through -the interference of friends with only 8 reprimand, the boy was stung to the quick, "and from that day," we have often heard the venerable man say, "I was a Jeffersonian Democrat." George and John Swope have shared the same abiding faith in Democratic principles and manifested equal concern for their success.
Dr. Swope not only received a thorough collegiate education, and followed it up as a close student of history and literature, but has had -a large practical experience and knowledge of men and their needs. A trip to Europe several years ago gave him the opportunity to study foreign institutions, and increase his admiration of and confidence in our own. Gettysburg has no more liberal or publie-spirited citizen. His purse is always open to the claims of charity, and every enterprise of merit receives from Dr.
Swope an active sympathy and a solid support, The esteem in which he is held will be attested by the large vote he is sure to receive on the 23d instant. Although the nomination has come to him unsought, he would be less than natural if he did not hope for. a generous recognition on the part of his fellow citizens, not only of the town and county, but of' the entire dis- Changes to be Made. To answer the inquiries of all the esteemed friends who write us concerning the changes likely to be made by President Cleveland would consume more time than we can allot to that purpose. We may, therefore, our columns to give our impression on the subject and thus in answering one reply to all.
It is safe to say the changes will be neither quickly made nor general. The rascals will be turned out, of course, but the suitable men will, also as a matter of course, remain. The first removals to be made will be' of incompetents, Many IDED unfit to attend to their own affairs have been entrusted with official positions of responsibility, simply as rewards for party services or through personal favoritism. One instance of this. kind with which some of our readers are more or less familiar is that of a slothful fellow actually unable to work out a simple arithmetical problem holding a position which only a skilled accountant should occupy.
He and his kind will have to go and go promptly of course, but competent and honest officials, regardless of their political opinions, will be given a fair chance with the rest, we have no doubt. That Democrats are anxious to see the rascals turned out is not strange. The great fight was made against the officeholding incompetents. That many Democrate may anxious to fill vacancies thus created is not strange. A desire to fitly occupy official positions is an honorable ambition.
The citizen who accepts public office as a public trust is nos to be classed with the scrambling office seeker who makes public office a place for Valley Spirit. eL James L.

In Michigen the Fusion was made up of 149,835 for Cleveland and 41,390 for Butler. The Butler votes given the table are for the straight ticket. In Missouri the Butler vote was fused with the Republican cannot be distinguished.
In West Virginia there were 2 Butler electors on the Blaine or Fusion ticket, who ran about 800 ahead. The vote given is that the straight tickets. Cleveland's plurality is 64,959, in aggregate vote of 10,039,387, the largest ever polled. The increase over the vote of 1880, however, is only 828,417, about nine per whereas the ratio increase in 1880 over 1876 was more than nine and one half per cent. The total vote in 1880 was 9,304,428, there being 307,306 votes for Weaver, the Greenback candidate; 10,305 for Dow, Prohibitionist, and 707 scattering.
It will be seen that Butler has polled less than half the votes given for Weaver four years ago, while the Prohibition vote is increased 140,747, the the "side show" vote is less than it was in 1880. amounts to no more than 2.83 per cent. the aggregate, against 3.5 per cent. four years ago. It has frequently happened- -as in Buchanan, Lincoln -that the candidate receiving a majority of the electoral votes has fallen short of a majority of the popular vote, but it has never happened, except in the case of Hayes, that a candidate has become President without at least a popular plurality.
Garfield had a plurality of about 7,000, receiving 48.26 per cent. of the entire vote, while Hanco*ck received 48.25 per cent. Cleveland 1 has 467,311 votes more than Hanco*ck, or 48.91 per cent. of the entire vote, while Blaine gains only 395,684 over Garfield, giving him 48.26 per cent. of the whole.
Blaine has exactly the same percentage of the popular vote that Garfield had. The change has been made by a greater ratio of Democratic gain and the concentration of a portion of the scattering vote upon the Democratic candidates. 2 The Postal Service. The report of Postmaster General Hatton is full of interesting statistics, though somewhat out of the fashion in that it is not small-poxed with all sorts, of recommendations. The postal year ends June 30th.
For the last year the total expenditures of the department were 960.65, being $3,066,833.57. in exeess of the receipts. What the deficiency at the close of the current year will be Mr. Hatton does not apparently feel himself at liberty to predict. This is he does not know just what will be the effect upon the revenue of the change to the two-cent postage rate, which was in operation only a part of the year covered by the report.
The one thing known, however, is that the reduced rate has added very largely to the number of letters sent. It has been held by many plain people that registering a letter containing money was simply inviting some dishonest postal or other employe, who should have the handling of it, to steal it. The actual losses of registered packages during the year were 516, or one in every 21,798 handled. This is a smaller proportion of 19ss than in any preceding year. Mr.
Hatton says the department has been looking after negligent postmasters during the year. In most cases postmasters who were short were men who looked upon their positions as sinecures, attended themselves to some private business, and left their offices to be looked after by subordinates. "This," says Mr. Hatton, "should not be allowed. Postmasters at first and second-class offices should be required to give their entire time to their official duties, and should not be permitted to engage in any other business that requires, any portion of the time for which they are paid by the government.
This result should be brought about if it requires a statutory enactment to effect it." The free delivery service has extended, a total of 159 cities. Touching this branch of the service Mr. Hatton recommends that the rates of local postage be reduced to one-balf the present figures. He renews the recommendation of his predecessor that the unit of weight in rating letters and sealed packages (first class matter) be changed from one half to one ounce. As less than six per cent.
of all the letters conveyed in the mails exceed half an ounce in weight and as many articles now sent unsealed, it is held to be evident that the change, while accommodating many people, would make but an inappreciable reduction of the revenues. The railway mail service falis in for especial commendation as effective in every particular. Mr. Hatton is very strong in his belief that the 4,000 clerks in this branch should not be removed except for cause. They are experts who have devoted enough care and study to their duties to have fitted them for either of the professions.
They are taken at first on probation for six months, and thirty per cent. of those appointed fail to pass the examinations imposed at the end of that time. This would seem to indicate that more want to than can. This part of the report is evidently written for President Cleveland and whoever shall be his Postmaster General. The money order department of the postoffice is a conspicuously great convenience to people in transmitting small sums from point to point.
The transactions of the year amounted to $129,810,038.51 and the receipts of fees, after deducting all ascertainable expenses, left a balance of net profit for the department of 81. The postal notes issued amounted to $7,441,992.48. The Postal Depar-ment of the United States Government has come to be a Fast concern and while there is manifestly room for improvement in its management, it must be admitted that it does the people great service at comparatively trifling cost and with comparatively trifling incidental wrong. There was a difference of opinion among the lower courts of Pennsylvania as to the liability under the act of 1794 regulating the observance of the Sabbath of a regularly licensed innkeeper who did such a business as selling ice cream to residents of his town on Sunday, Judge Henderson, of the Dauphin-Lebanon district, maintained that the provision of the law exempting from its penalty "the dressing of victuals in private houses, bake houses, lodging houses, inns and other houses of entertainment for the use of sojourners, travelers or was sufficient to cover the ice cream business. The Schuylkill county court took a different view of the law, and convicted the defendant in a proceeding in which it appeared that he was a regularly licensed innkeeper of Mahanoy City, that he had an ice cream parlor in his hotel, and that upon Sunday evening he sold ice cream to divers persons, residents of the place.
The supreme court having passed upon the case, the law which it establishes becomes of interest to innkeepers, proprietors of restaurants and ice cream venders. Judge Green of the supreme bench, in an elaborate opinion holds that the statute of 1794 must be strictly construed and that the keepers of houses of entertainment if he provide "dressed victuals for those who are not travelers, strangers, or sojourners, not resident, is guilty of no violation of the Sunday law. Hence in Pennsylvania hereafter, a regularly licensed inokeeper has a right to sell ice cream in his parlors on Sunday without rendering himself liable to the penalties prescribed by the act of 22nd of April, Lancaster Intelli- gencer.

Loader, of Brooklyn: EXECUTIVE MANSION, ALBANY, N.
November 27th, 1884. very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND. My Dear Sir before yesterday, when I arrived home in the evening from the Executive Chamber, I found in the house a fine Newfoundland dog and yesterday I learned through your letter that the dog was intended as a gift from you. I bope you will not deem it affectation on my part when I write you that I am very adverse to receipt of gifts, especially in the relation of strangers, which you and I sustain to each other. A number of small gifts have been sent to me, some of them, doubtless, from those who seek in this manner to show their good will, while others have been received from those whom I suspect of attempting purely to procure an acknowledgement.
It is hard to offend the former class by an exhibition of churlishness or lack of appreciation, and my disposition is to humor the desire of the others. The acceptance of presents of value which could involve an obligation I should deem my present position entirely inadmissible, and I confess I should feel better if all gifts of every description were discontinued. I have determined to assure you most beartily of my full appreciation of your kindness in sending me the dog, and that I do not at all distrust your motive in doing so; and while thanking you for the friendliness which prompted the gift, I ask you to permit me to return the same. I sbali please myself and hope not to offend you by sending the dog by express to-morrow, at my expense. Yours, There is reason to fear that in not a few instances where industrial establishments are now cutting down their working force, much more than a return to recent trade conditions will be needed to insure the taking on again of those who have been discharged.
In the steel mill of the Bethlehem Iron Works, for instance, it has been arranged that hereafter, in what is called the converting department, three men are to do the work that five have heretofore done, while at the boilers, where ten have been employed, five will be expected to suffice. "In the yard," the paper from which we get our information "twenty-eight men were discharged, very few Hungarians being among the number." This would indicate an economy intended, not to meet a temporary over-production, but to be permanent to get, if -possible, more for the money out of a given number of workers. It is not to be wondered at that in the face of such facts the discharged workingmen are going elsewhere to seek Wilkes- Barre Leader. $8,000 FOR A BROKEN LEG. -On the 5th of May, 1879, while Marris Morrison, of Shenandoah, was driving past Lost Creek crossing in West 'Mahanoy township a piece of paper lying in the road was blown toward his horse by the wind.
The borse shied to the side of the road and Morrison was thrown from his carriage into a mine breach. His leg was broken in the fall and he has been laid up almost ever since. He sued the township for damages, and the case has been pending ever since. Wednesday afternoon the counsel for the Girard estate, the township and Morrison agreed upon $3,000 damages, and judgment was entered for that amount in the plaintiff's favor. The origin of a thirty thousand dollar fire in Baltimore is laid to the charge of matcheating mice.
As a great many fires occur whose origin remains a permanent mystery, the inquiry, in the light of this Baltimore circ*mstance, naturally arises, whether mice are not the secret cause of many fires. The matches most commonly used at present are readily ignited, and mice gnawing at match heads may easily set them off, which if done in mice nests made of light, combustible material, is sure to result in a Are. A phosphorus match is a much more dangerous article than it is commonly regarded. Nearly every reader of these lines will remember of having seen this kind of matches set off with a crack and a flame, by some one stepping upon them, and if they can be ignited in that way there are numberless other ways in which it can also be done. Fully onehalf the male part of humanity smokes, and of course, carries matches to light the everlasting cigar or pipe.
While the matches by many are carried secured in a box, the majority of persons, we believe, carry them loose in the pocket, whence they are easily lost into places where they can do no barm. When a fire occurs, the cause of which can not be readily accounted for, it is customary to charge it to trampe that had been seen in the neighborhood, or that it is believed were in the neighborhood, when in reality it was caused by the accidental ignition of a phosphorous match that had been dropped in out-of-the-way place by some careless smoker.

There was a double golden wedding anniversary celebrated at Arcadia, on Thanksgiving Day, which presented several peculiarly interesting features. The principals were Isaac Martz and wife and Moses Martz and wife. The venerable grooms are twin brothers and the brides twin sisters. The former were born in Piqua, Ohio, May. 27, 1812, and Lavina and Tabitha McCormick, the brides, in Fayette county, Indiana, February 27, 1816.
The double wedding WAS held November 27, 1834. The father of the brides Hived near the intersection of the old Natioaal. road and White river, and he boarded the Commissioners while they surveyed and laid out the present city of Indianapolis. In 1837 the Martz families removed to Fayette county. Afterwards they lived in Indianapolis, but finally settled in Arca-.
dis. The birthday and marriage anniversaries fell upon the 27th, although in different months, and each family had twelve children -seven boys and five girls. The first children of each couple were bora within four days of each other (both sons), and there is but five days' difference in the ages of the youngest. The youngest son of Isaac Martz is Rev. C.
M. Martz, pastor of the sixth Christian Church of Indianapolis, and the oldest is also a minister now living in Kokomo. Among the large number of guests there was only one, M. B. Pentocoast, of Indianapolis, who witnessed the bridal ceremony of fifty years ago.
Congratulating Gov. Cleveland. Young Ladies of a Maryland Academy Invite His Presence en ment Day. From the Baltimore Sun. During the recent presidential contest the young ladies of Mount St.
Agnes academy, Mount Washington, Baltimore county, Md, were deeply interested in the result. Some favored Cleveland, while others championed Blaine, and strongly advocated bis election in their own way among themselves during their leisure hours in the salon. It was agreed that the winning faction should be granted permission by the Sisters of Mercy in charge of the institution to write the successful candidate a congratulatory letter. The following has been sent to Governor Cleveland at Albany: "Mount St. Agnes Academy, Mount Washington, Baltimore- county, Nov.
29, His Excellency, Grover Cleveland, Governor of New York and Presidentof the United States: We, the members of the senior class of Mount St. Agnes academy, hasten with joy to tender our heartfelt congratulations to our Democratic President on his accession to the Presidential chair of America. Although school girls only, and therefore excluded in a measure from the bustle of life, the inmates of our academy, and especially we, the members of the senior department, have taken the deepest interest in all matters regarding the late election, and it was with emotions of delight that we learned its -thrice happy--result. And now that the brightest nopes of our girlhood have been realized, may we not crave a favor --the onor of seeing our long-wished for President at the seventeenth annual commencement, which will take place on Wednesday, June 24, 1885. We cannot express the gratification it would give us to receive our graduating honors from the bands of our Democratic chief.
Hoping that our request not be denied, and again offering our best wishes for a prosperous administration, we are yours, affectionately and respectfully. Rose L. Evans, of Colorado; Francis H. Hines, Carroll county, Angela M. Maguire, Baltimore county, Alice M.
McKewen, Baltimore." The congratulations were beautifully written on tinted paper, embellished on the top of the first page with the national colors, painted by one of the young ladies. Of all the numerous acknowledgements this is probably the first one of the kind received by the next President. Determined to be Wed. A. J.
Bennett and Miss Orpeh T. Grubb, both of Preston, England, were married Milwaukee, the other night, by the Rev. George H. Ide, of the Congregational Church. The ceremony was performed at the home of a relative.
"We traveled over 4,000 miles to have this ceremony performed and will retrace the same distance at smilingly said the groom to the minister, as the last words, pronouncing the couple man and wife were spoken. The bride at his side was his aunt, and it was to overcome the English marriage proscription relative to that kinsbip which induced them to cross the ocean to have the ceremony performed.They started on their return to England at once, having spent just three days in Milwaukee and a little over 8 week on the American continent. Mr. Bennett is a wealthy Englishman of perhaps 40 years. He fell in love with his aunt, and she reciprocated bis affections, but the laws of England forbade the marriage of nephew and aunt, and they were forced to seek more convenient statutes in other climes.
Mrs. Bennett's first busband, a Mr. Grubb; was Mr. Bennett's mother's brother, so that, though his she was not really related to him by blood. But the law was in exorable, while the lovers were determined.
The dusty volumes of law in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and other European countries were examined by Mr. Bennett, but the marriage WAS forbidden in all those countries. It seemed as though they would have to- undertake a trip to Africa or the Sandwich Islands and export a minister with them to find an accommodating law, when Mr. Bennett bethought himself of America, and, after a good deal of corresponding with the American consul, found that in the law in Wisconsin there was no clause forbidding such 8 marriage, and, as Mrs. Grubb bas a brother residing on the west side of Milwaukee, they came on to have the knot will you experience any trouble when you return to England was asked Mr.
Bennett. "My dear sir," quoth he, in reply, me. I took care to look into that. I am an expert on marriage laws in all the countries of the globe. I made it my special study for months." Ministers of the gospel may well take up the question of self-murder and seek to deter its fearful spread by showing how deeply its perpetration must offend God.
All sorts of people, for all sorts of reasons, are taking their lives. Every day's papers are crowded with detailed accounts of the methods employed, many of them as ingenious as they are horrible. Yesterday's New York papers recorded six successful suicides and two frustrated attempts and of these five of the former and one of the latter occurred in that city. A physician born in Milan, educated, speaking a half dozen languages fuently, shot himself in his hotel. He left a memoranda saying that be feared insanity.
He is known to have been intemperate. A Ruesian girl who had been expecting to marry for three years and was put off by her lover, jumped into the river, but was rescued. A manufacturer and inventor, in comfortable circ*mstances and rated as unusually intelligent, ended his life with a pistol because his wife had died from taking an overdose of medicine. An old shoemaker took a large phial of opium to end a life that neuralgia had made wretched. A hackmap lost his month's wages at 8 raffle and hanged himself.
An old and gallant soldier took his life because he had been refused employment which, be was not mentally fit to perform. An old yeoman shot himself three times for the reason that be was aged and poor, his bair had gone and his eyes and teeth failed him, and his deliberation was manifested in bis going to the yard to do the deed in order that his host's room might not be soiled. A bigamist and bad man generally, banged his head against his prison bars, but he is a confirmed epileptic and not responsible, they tell us, for what he says and does. Is anybody who commits suicide responsible? Is not the act of itself, no matter bow coolly perpetrated, evidence of some form of mental disorder If so, is there any way in which its presence can be detected before it bears such awful fruit These are questions that may well engage the attention of medical men and philanthropists, for though it seems at first glance almost impossible to devise a means for preventing the further spreed of the suicidal that have appeared, if anything, even more difficult of attainment, have at times been Wilkes- Barre Leader, Dec. 2.
FOUND DEAD IN A RESERVOIR. -Samuel McKentney, aged sixty-five years, who resided near Bernhart's dam, several miles from Reading, mysteriously disappeared two weeks ago. nook and corner WAS searched for him.

In an Island Down the Susquehanna Near Danville, DANVILLE, Nov. -Frank Lewis and Jacob Gearhart, workingmen who were thrown out of steady employment by the bus. inses depression, went down the river demand several days ago to dig for roots which are in for pharmacists.
Three miles below this place there is an island in the middle of the stream, which attracts attention in summer by the luxurious growth of vegetation which it displays, being uninbabited and uncultivated. Lewis suggested that they dig for roots there, as the different shades of green which he had noticed in the warm season indicated an unusual variety of herbage. Gearbart consented, and they hired a row bost and went to work. They bad not dug long when they came upon a metal box. Eagerly breaking it open with their picks they found it contained coins amounting nearly to $47,000, including $16,000 in Mexican silver dollars, $80,000 in gold doubloons and $1,000 in small silver coins, which will need some polishing to make them passable.
The general supposition is that the money was placed there by Captain Kidd during the sixteenth century. He was at one time bard pressed on the Chesapeake. Bay by otber pirates, entering the Susquehanna river and sailed up to Crook's Riffles, which at that time formed part of the island. Ravages of the Southern Scourge. LOUISVILLE, December correspondent of the Courier- sent a dispasch last night from Mount Pleasant, Harlan county, stating that the scourge in Eastern Kentucky is fully as frightful as had been intimated in previous dispatches.
In Harlan county there have been two hundred deaths since the latter part of August, most of them from Aux. The correspondent estimates that in three Kentucky counties he bas visitedHarlan, Bell and Knox -the total number of deaths is 400. He thinks that the disease has been more deadly in the Virginia counties to the east and one or two Kentucky counties north of the district named. The correspondent is now on his way to Letcher county, where the disease is reported as sweeping away whole families at a time.

Nancy Rice, a very fat lady, wife of John Rice, of Cisnas Run, Perry county, was polishing her shoes preparatory to a visit to Loysville, the market town, when she suddenly toppled over and died in a few minutes. The county surrounding her husband's home is thickly populated and the greatest excitement has prevailed since the woman's death, as she was the pic-ture of robust By many the woman is thought to be in a trance. In fact, on this point the community is about equally divided and as a consequence the iuterment of the body has been, delayed and watchers for the return of the vital spark kept in constant attendance at the side of the corpse. The opinion of the family physician, that the woman is dead, has not been allowed to prevail against the prejudices of a majority of the neighbors. The Democrats Carry All.

people residing in the vicinity of Slope operated by the Susquehanna Coal Company, Nantico*ke, are much alarmed: over the state of affairs existing in the mine underneath their houses. About three months ago it became evident that the surface was inclined to sink. Investigation showed that the pillars which supported the roof were too closely cropped and that gradually the soil was coming down into the mine. Three hundred men were at once put to work to stop the downward tendency of the earth and rock. Double or pillars, eight feet in diameter, were built and filled in with rocks, coal, etc.
It was thought these would withstand any pressure from above, but they didn't. In many cases they gave way from the heavy weight of the top rock and were crushed. This necessitated rebuilding. Five cars of props were used in a day and the expense is considerable. The men work double shift.
A bad sign noticesble yesterday when the water in several wells located on the surface leaked out into the mine and left them barren. Experienced miners say that this is An indication that there are huge crevices leading from above to the bottom of the slope and that as soon as the soil is separated from the rock 8 great crack will occur, which is liable to create great consternation higher up. A great many bouses are located on the surface and should the earth drop any considerable distance considerable loss of life is to be feared. In the vicinity of Squire Green's big gaps can be plainly seen. The surface affected covers an area of about five miles.
Red Headed Girls. Wilkes- Barre Leader. With a great majority of people a redheaded girl is an object of reproach and contumely. She is a greatly to be pitied creature whose presence in the world is a misfor tune to herself and not at all a joy to others. The dude at the street corner and the cheap wit in the reportorial line jibe her.
The severest retort of which the average six to eight year old, engaged in deadly quarrel with other six to eight year old, is capable, becomes available when the other has come into the world with hair that by even the severest stretch of the imagination can be called red. And when the six to eight year old vided has he reached be six or eight and twenty, pronot red headed himself, the chances all favor his still retaining the old prejudice; though as he grows older he is apt to form his opinions with less reference to the color of the hair or any other outward indication. And yet red-beaded girls are pretty. Not some of them, but nearly all of them. Not girls with hair that comes within the blonde line, but girls with hair that comes as near as hair can come to being red.
They are almost certain to have a clean, pure skin, and cheeks that reflect roses of delicious tints; and if the former is more or less peppered with freckles that shouldn't be considered aS greatly detracting from the beauty of an other wise perfect face? The color of the hair is sornetimes held to be in some sense an index of character, but it is accounted for on purely physical considerations, and a girl can. be a virago or an angel, no matter what the hue her hair takes on. Nearly all of us have had experience enough to prove this much. Red headed girls have certainly no greater 1 tendency to the former and no less to the latter category than those whose locks are of the regulation black or brown. For ourselves, we confess to an admiration for all girls, on general principles, but we admire red-headed girls especially and the liking is rather strengthened than otherwise by the fact that they are generally considered "pot in the OIL FROM NATURE'S WELLS.

Bressler would like to run as an anti-administration protective tariff candidate against Mr. Swope. If the Doctor don't get into the Arthur McCullough Republican Free-trade: car at Washington, he will be badly left. They beat the Democrats all hollow on tariff reform. Hogs are reported as dying from disease in different parts of the country.
This fact has caused our people to kill off their bogs earlier than usual. Mr. Nathan Sheffer killed his two fine bogs last week; they weighed, when dressed, 913 lbs. Mr. Eli McDonell has two.
very fines ones yet to kill. There are others in which, before Christmas, will all be packed down in salt. Prime dressed hogs are selling in Baltimore markets at 5 cents; beef at from 5 to 8 cente; dressed poultry, 6 to 9 cents, according to quality; corn meal, $1.00 per hundred; wheat flour, from $2.50 to $3.50 per barrel; potatoes, 85 to 45 cents per bushel. With the exception of potatoes, the market here in Shrewsbury is just double these prices. This system is worked under a sort of combination of understandings.
Our merchants have the largest stock on band that they ever had and are offering them at below city prices. Prints, never were as low as they are now. Heavy cottons and woollens are offered at prices below cost of manufacture. The annual December meeting of the Board of Control, of Summit Grove Camp Meeting Association, was held in Baltimore last Friday evening. Ten of the thirteen members of the board were present.
The. reports of the several committees were received and spproved. The report of the finance committee showed the contributions at the gates to be. $873.50, and from rents of tents, $1,247. The receipts at the gates paid the expenses of the camp and the rents.
met the annual payment on the bonded debt and interest, and the repairs and improvements made during the current year. The reports showed a flourishing condition of the association. The report of the committee on religious worship, showed a suecessful camp and many conversions and additions to the church. Rev: Dr. Poulson, of Baltimore, bad charge of the religious services of the camp; his management was entirely satisfaotory to the Board of Control: They indicated a desire that his services should be secured for our next camp.
The annual meeting of the stockholders will take place on the third Tuesday of January next, the 20th day, at New Freedom. The day for the commencement of the next camp has beon fixed the meeting will commence on Thursday, July 80th and close on Tuesday night, August 11th, making the term of the camp 13 days. The meeting was very barmonious, and great zeal was manifested on behalf of the officers to advance the interests of Summit Grove. Some important improvements were suggested to the board, which were referred to committees for consideration and action thereon. There are 212 tents on the ground, nearly all of which have been engaged for 1885.
The patronage of the camp is steadily growing in favor, among camp meeting poople. The management must keep abreast with the growth of the camp, and give all the necessary accommodations, in order to hold the patronage. spirit of harmony must prevail in the management, to insure the complete success of the association. Those who attended the Teacher's Institute, held at York, last week, have returned, greatly pleased with "the Institute. They speak very highly of Prof.
Williams, in his efforts to make the Institute a success. Your correspondent experienced great disappointment at not being able to attend the entire session, instead of but a few hours. There the school term to six months, througbout the county, seems to be generally conceded. K. is no longer any doubt in my mind that it would be greatly to the advantage of school directors throughout the county, to attend the annual meetings of the Institute, at least two of three days, and if need be, contribute in every way they can towards its support.
A well selected and uniform system of teaching, in this county, would be of great advantage to the cause. The Institute points to this object. If the directors attend the Institute, they will see these illustrations themselves, and be able to comprehend their usefulness. Prof. Williams certainly deserves great credit for the zeal he has manifested in the promotion of the cause of: education in York county.
He called to his aid the best talent he could command. The extension of Cutting Glass, Cutting Glass, The following directions for the old. process of cutting glass with a red-hot iron are sometimes sold to the unwary as a great secret. The method is very simple, and those who have failed with the recipes usually published (strings, with turpentine and set on fire, friction with strings, the results are rather surprising. There is no difficulty in cutting off broken flasks SO as to make dishes, or to carry out a cut spirally around a long bottle, so as to cut it into the form of a cork-screw; and when so cut, glase exhibits considerable elasticity, and the spiral may be elongated like a ringlet.
The process, as has been said, is very simple. The iron rod (a common poker will do very well). should be somewhat pointed, and the line along which the cut is to be made should be marked by chalk or by pasting a thin strip of paper along side of it; then make file mark to commence the cut; apply the hot iron and a crack will start, and this crack will follow the iron wherever the operator chooses to lead it. In this way jars are easily made out of old bottles, and broken vessels of different kinds may be cut up into new forms. Flat glass may also be cut into the most intricate and elegant forms."

disappeared. The eagerness with which most people will buy any article offered by a peddler was turned to a good account in a neighboring county last week. A well dressed young man visited that section peddling small packages about one inch square and labeled "Bed Bug and Roach. 1 He offered the packages for sale to the housewives and managed to sell quite a number of them. He stated that the "exterminator," to be efficient, must be kept in a warm place for twelve or fifteen hours, and must, on no account, be opened more than five minutes before using.
He claimed that if used properly all the bugs in the house could be killed in 24 hours. For this blessing to the housewife he only charged 25 cents. A good many women bought the "exterminator" and followed out the directions to the letter, congratulating themselves that they bad at last found a way of ridding their beds of a nuisance. They were in consequence, somewhat chagrined when, on opening the package preparatory to commencing the war of extermination, they found two wooden blocks, an inch square and half an inch thick. On one of the blocks was written in ink: "Place the bag here and press gently with the other block." The THE BREAKING OF A DAM.

Within the banks were one and a half million gallons of water as this large body came tearing down the mountain side it made a noise that was heard for 8 long distance. The only building which. lay directly in the torrent's path was the stone one occupied by William Smith.
Fortunately the family had not yet arisen. The water dashed through the rooms on the first story and carried away the furniture includof the embankment of the dam was found to ing a large heating stove. A bout thirty feet be washed away.
