The resignation was handed to the Governor with the understanding that a Democrat should be selected in his place. BISHOP TUIGO has furnished Archbishop Wood, of Philadelphia, with a statement of the iocese assets, from which it appears that instead of the diocese leaning toward bankruptcy, as has been freely circulated by the unwary, the balance inclines in favor of the assets by about $150,000, exclusive of church buildings and grounds.

ALEX. M. WHITK and his son Thomas had a hearing in Philadelphia on Thursday of last week on a charge of conspiring to defraud, and gave bail in the sum of $300 each to answer. Mr. A.

Bell, son of A. M. Boll, formerly of this place, still stands at the head of his class. This not only speaks well for the boy, but is creditable to the schools of Indiana whore John got his early training. The lad is at present on a visit to his friends in this county.

THE suit of Mrs. Mary Oliver for $50,000 against ox-Senator Cameron, for breach of promise, was reached in tho Circuit Court, Washington on Saturday last, and continued until the October term, owing to the nickness of one of the counsel for the complainant.

In order to increase the circulation of THE DEMOCRAT, and to bring its publication to a strictly cash basis, we have determined to reduce the subscription price, beginning.with July 1st, 1878, to one dollar and fifty cents a year, strictly in advance. The'reduction will place the paper within the reach of all who have any interest in the news of the day, and our homo news in particular.

All others will be charged two dollars, as heretofore, and outside of the county, whonnot paid in advance, $2.50. If two or three, or more, active men, in each township, would make an effort to place THE DEMOCRAT in families that now do not take anv paper, we could soon have iwo thousand subscribers. To those who will interest themselves in the matter, we willingly allow a handsome percentage and thank them besides.

Coffrotfi'for Congress; Frederick Groff, Senate, and nominated James M'CIintoek for Commissioner and Henry Lucas for Auditor.

Tho body of an unknown man was found yesterday near Spring Hill station on the Pennsylvania Railroad, about 17 miles from town, near the picnic grounds, with a bullet hole in the centre of his breast, and tho body looked as if it had lain several days. It was brought to town on the WilUinsburg accommodasion train at noon, and given over to the Coroner. His clothes were a dark striped cloth, all of tho same piece.

Ho had a new pair of blue overalls with him. A small pistol was found near tho body. No papers were found in his clothes to tell his name. There was a small India ink figure on his arm ofa dancing girl on a globe. He looks as if he might be about forty years of age, had brown hair and a German cast of countenance.

There was twenty-five cents found in his pocket It looks like a case of Pittsburgh Foal, July Hail Accident. On Monday afternoon last, a little daughter of Jas. M. White, of West Indiana, aged about 13 years, who had been engaged in picking potato bugs off the vines in the garden, brought them to tho house, and to destroy them, pourod carbun oil on them intending to burn them. Whilst pouring oil upon the bugs in tho vessel, she lit a match to set the oil on fire, and not being careful to hold it away from the oil can the oil ignited, the can of oil exploded, throwing tl.e burning oil over her person.

The flames caught her hair, which was completely burned off and also burned her face and arms (which were bare) in a terrible manner. Her mother was near her and went to the rescue, but at first was unable to hold her, but finally succeeded in smothering tho names by throwing her apron over the girls head. Tho girl ia severely burned, but will probably recover. Tho patient is attended by Dr. St.

Clair. The 4th of July. There will bo no public demonstration of any kind on the glorious 4th this year in Indiana. Tho most of our people will bo at home, although many are malting arrangements to go to tho country, some to Pittsburgh, and other places on excursion tickets. The celebration at tho C'her- rytreo will be a grand affair, and also the celebration at Pine Flats.

The Union Cornet Band of Indiana, will boat Pine Flats, and will discourse some new and excellent music. Tho celebration at Sol. Buterbaugh's near Cookport, will be largelj' attended.

And now let "The star spangled banner in triumph wave, o'er the land of tho free and tho homo of the brave." William SI. Lloyd a Bankrupt. William M. Lloyd, of Altoona was adjudged a bankrupt in the United States District Court at Williamsport last week. This case has been before tho court since November, 1875, and during the early part of the year was argued at Pittsburg.

The bankrupt made vigorous efforts to resist the operations of the law, but the creditors were not satisfied with tho showing of assets and pressed the case to a decision, which wns favorably reached yesterday. The totnl amount of provnble debts is and tho total number of creditors with provnble claims over in amount was 708. Of Iheso 300, having provable claims aggregating $310,193.28, joined in tho petition which has been fought with such persistency. It is slated that tho allegations of fraud in tho creditors' petition were withdrawn, and then tho adjudication was ordered. The creditors will now proceed to elect assignees, take charge of the assets uud wind up affairs.

llenlli of Colonel Jobn'Woods. The Altooua Tribune, of the 27th ult, says: After an illness of considerable length Colonel John Woods, of this city, expired xt the almshouse Wednesday morning at 20 minutes to 9 o'clock. His death was not unexpected oven to himself, as ho had been sinking for some time, and had come to recognizo the fact that ho could not recover. Colonel Woods had been a resident of this city for many years and at one time was quite a prominent citizen, being proprietor of different leading hotels in the town during his day. But reverses came, and after vainly trying to retrieve his shattered fortunes ho succumbed to the inevitable.

Colonel Woods was a largo hearted, companionable man, and his numerous old timo friends will road with regret tho announcement of his demise. But death was a relief to him, as latterly ho had suffered much physical torment. Ho was taken to the almshouso at uis own request, where his wants wero well attended to. The deceased was born in Indiana county, near Tunnelton, and at one timo was a imminent and influential man. A Fearful Accident.

Tho family of our friend, Thoa. II. Cresswell, of Strongstown, has como through a terrible ordeal. On Friday morning last, the son, Rob. E.

Cresswoll, accompanied by his mother, Mrs. Ellen Cresswoll, his two sisters, Knto Bolle and Ella Belle, and Mrs. Shoemaker, (tho mother of Frank Shoemaker, of Ebensburg,) left their homo at Strongstown to piy a visit to friends at Hustonvillo. When about ono mile on thoir way, in going down a steep something about the harness or tongue of tho spring wagon gavo way, and tho wagon striking the horses heels caused them to run off. Tho ladies wero soon after thrown out and terribly bruised and wounded.

Mrs. Cresswell had large gash cut in her forehead laying bare tho bone, and several other cuts and bruises; Ella Belle, the youngest sister, sustained a compound fracture of ono of her limbs; Miss Kato was badly bruised and scratched Mrs. Shoemaker, an elderly lady, was severely bruised and injured internally, aud Rob. E. Cresswell, who clung to tho liorses ns long as hecould, was badly bruised and scratched up.

It is wonderful that somo of tho occupants of the wagon were not killed outright, as they wero thrown down a steep declivity with the seats of the wagon on top of them. Tho wounded ladies were promptly cared for by tho neighbors, among them the Orner family, and removed to thoir homes at Strongstown. We learn to-dny that none of tho parties are seriously injured, (although it is feared that the shock to Mrs. Shoemaker may result in disabling her,) and that all are on the mend. Dr.

Davidson is attending all the parties, and is assisted by the kind people of that neighborhood, who deeply sympathize with this kind family. Sudden Dcaln. Mrs. Maggie Wolf, widow of tho lato Rev. Jacob Wolf, who has been partially deranged foi several years, it is ascertained took a dose of Paris Green on Tuesday morning last, whilst at tho residence of Edmund Paige, in West Indiana.

For somo timo past, Mrs. Wolf has spent a portion of her time at tho house of Col. Paige, being very kinkly treated by Mrs. Paige, and made it her home. On Tuesday morning by some means she got possession of the poison which the Col.

had purchased to exterminate the bugs, and either by accident or design, mixed a portion and took it The deceased had been in tho habit of taking what is called "Dr. Barr's Headache Powders," and a paper of this preparation, which is entirely harmless, was lying near the paper containing tho Paris Green. It is charitable to presume that the poor woman made a mistake, and that the fatal drug was taken without any design at self destruction. As soon as it was ascertained, by her own admission, that she had taken the fatal drug, Paige administered swoct milk, castor oil, and immediately scut for a physician. Dr.

Purrington was promptly on hand and done all that was in his power to save the life of the lady, but it was too late. She suffered terribly for several hours, and died about 4 o'clock, p. m. Tho deceased had been a widow for several years, has two children living, friends reside near Pine Flats. Her ago was about 50 years.

The Coroner, Samuel A. Smith, empanuelled a jury composed of the following gentlemen, viz: A. C. Boyle, Irvin McFarland, Wm. Lewis, James Bailoy, II.

S. Thompson and A. L. McCluskey, who after viewing the body and hearing tho testimony of Mrs. Paigo aud other witnesses, rendered a verdict iu accordance with tho facts detailed above.

Following tlie "Groonbackcrs," W. It. Black, M. C. Watson, John T.

Gibson and Thoo. Colcmau, the first the Chairman of tho Republican County Committee, and tho three others, noted as belonging to what is called tho Court Houso "Ring," went to a Greenback meeting on Thursday evening of last week, held in Centre township, to discuss with our Greenback friends the merits of the respective parties. Tho nicot- ingovor tho parly of fourstarted for homo in a carriage, Bro. Black holding the reins. Whether tho arguments of Mr.

Fairfiold and others had confused tho mind of the driver or not, the fact is that in coming down a hill near Iho residence of J. C. Ro- pine, ho attempted to drive tho team upon two roads at tho same timo, running nearly parallel, which resulted in a lamentable failure. Tho wagon was turned completely ovor, and tho occupants made a swift exit, fortunately without even slight injuries to themselves. IJro.

Black, it is said made a good running jump for a ono legged man, and lit safely upon his feet at least thrco yards away from tho carriage; the others were rolled out on tho ground with regard to their dignity and no doubt wondered what had happened. Tho horses leaving tho top part of tho carriage in a condition fit only for kindling wood, rail but a short distance until they camo in contact with a good stout Democratic fence and stood calmly listening to tho congrat- ularly exclamations of tho lato occupants of tho carriage. Tho carriage, belonging to Jamison Brothers, was a complete wreck, the largest piece remaining hardly fit to make a cigar box. Abandoning the debris that had lately boon a good carriage, tho four gentlemen bestrode tho champing on a made thoir grand cntrco into Indiana during tho "wee small hours" of tho morning, completely disgusted with thj) "Greenback" Party and their campaign experience. It will require at least to repair damages.

Wo protest against tho demolition of tho vehicles used by politicians, but can certify that as wagon smashers the aforesaid parties area success. County aud Township Mutual Insu ranee Companion. For the information of those who desiro light concerning tlio above class of companies, wo give below tlio intelligent opinion of Mr. Foster in his last yearly report to tho legislature of this Suito. Tlio reports of such men based upon facts and experience.

IIis report is in tlie.sc words: As a means of securing cheap insurance tho multiplication of Mutual companies is not very promising, when it is observed what a feeble and sickly existence somo ol them have. They really atford no security to policy holders, ns a few sevoro losses would practically terminate thoir exist' once. CORRESPONDENCE. PINE FLAT, June ISth, 1878. Mn.

EDITOR there has been no communications from this place lately, and being anxious to havo our community noticed, wo take the liberty of acting as spokesman. There is quite a lot of fun laid out for tho a grand musical entertainment at night. But tho happiest mortal alive is our tailor, John Corr, who has taken unto himselfa wife, (which was somewhat ofa surprise to the natives, and in fact a surprise to himself.) In an interview with him, we give bis own words. With a wife now, I am more contented and fool more important; can keep up with the fashions in trade, and do something towards promoting the democratic cause. We wish him a happy journey in matrimonial bliss.

Yours respectfully, A READER. did not our correspondent mention the name of the bride, as she must certainly havo been a party to the ED. HOMER CITY, July 2,1878. J. B.

SANSOM SON Lady Ellis well is not at Lnckoy Hit, as stated, it is three-fourths of a mile-below, near Mr. John Phillips, on Yellow Creek. A strong vein of water and gas was struck last week, tho gas was so.strong that when seton fire would blaze up three or four feet above the floor of tho derrick. Shortly after this vien was struck the news came that the old "Lucky Hit" well had stopped flowing and was dry. Tho casing was put in at 340 feet, and aflergoing downafow foot the bit dropped off and is still in the well.

The drillers are looking up their fishing tools and will draw the bit and resume work again. M. K. Tiie Art of I'roIonciiiR Life. People generally desire long life and good health.

Sickness and premature death are almost always duo to violations of the laws that govern our physical being, and of which the masses are ignorant. If men knew bolter thev would do better, but how can they avoid an evil that they know not of? While efforts are made through tho public schools to give each child a so- called common English education, yet the children arc permitted to grow up and enter upon the responsible duties of active life, profoundly ignorant of tho structure of their own bodies, and the laws of physical being upon which their health and lives depend. They are sent to school and crammed with arilhmatic, grammer, and geography, by teachers who, in many instances, havo never studied physiology and hygiene. They are taught to locate the mountains and trace the rivers of foreign countries, 'but are never taught to locate the vital organs and glands of thoir own bodies, or trace tho veins, arteries and nerves iu their various ramifications. They are instructed in tho flow of the tides, and tho course of the ocean currents and tho philosophy of winds and storms; but they have no correct conception of the relative- effects upon their health of breathing pure or impure air, nor has thoir attention ever been called to tho importance of keeping their bodies clean and healthy by regular The criminality of such neglect iu teaching becomes apparent when wo considefr that the masses, ignorantly violating tho laws of health, bring upon themselves sickness, suffering and death, that might otherwise be avoided.

In this condition of things we welcome into being any work that is calculated to impart to the mosses a knowledge of the structure of their own bodies, tho laws of health, and the importance of observing those laws. We find Dr. Pierce's Common Sense Medical Adviser to be such a work. It is physiological and pathological, and the major Ct of it should be converted into a text- for the use of common schools. Its careful study will enable the healthy to preserve their health, and the sickly to regain health.

Every parent should read it and as their children becomes of propel age instruct them in tho all-important truths it contains. Wore this dono, much suffering and premature death would bo prevented, and many youth saved from lifo of shamo and licentiousness. Tho book contains nearly ono thousand pages, is profusely illustrated with colored plntcs and wood-engravings, and can be had by addressing R. V. Pierce, M.

Tho public are cautioned against impostors, who, attracted by tho great reputation and success of our machines, are endeavoring to palm off on purchasers an inferior machine made after the oldpattcrn of the Sinser Machine, but entirely wanting iu that completeness of finish and durability which has made the Singer Machino so famous.

Theso counterfeit machines will prove poor investments to those who, unfortunately, mny be induced to buy them, because: 1st. They not work as well as our better made machines. 2d. They will not last as long, and, Bd. They are made aftPr a model wliich this Company abatuloncd several years ago, and even if ns well made, would be greatly inferior to the New Singer Family Machine.

If those affected can make it suit to come and sco mo it is always best, it they cunnot do this conveniently, write to mo. The fault in most cases of rupture is improperly applied trusses.
