H. Marine. The campaign in California is progressing actively, and Republican meetings are held nightly. Senator Sherman of Ohio, and Col. John W.

Forney, will make at a great Grant and Wilson gathering at San Francisco on Monday night nest Among the table girls at the Ocean House, Old Orchard. Maine, it is stated are fifteen school teachers. At nearly all the great mountain and sea-side resorts in Nevr England there may be found waiting on the tables accomplished young ladies, who thos employ their vacations. Over one hundred Democrats of Elmira are said to have signed the call for a straight-oat Democratic club. And there are enough such almost everywhere to prevent their feeling lonely.

The Syracuse Journal says that in that city the open revolt'in the Democratic ranks is than sufficient to make good all Liberal lowes to the Republicans, and that is the fact in a great number of the towns ol Central New York. William A. Ferry, was late a Democratic candidate for Congress in Western Michigan, refuses to support Greoley, and advocates the nomination of a straight Democratic ticket. In a recent' letter, alluding to the Louisville Convention, he says: "I still am daily leceiving assurances of interest in this movement. From Ionia county an earnest Democrat sent lor twenty posters tujit he wants to circulate, and I learn othern ise that the sympathies of the best Democrats are with us.

I bear very little now of denunciation. Tbo interest taken in it is formidable to the Greulo.vitcs. because they are made aware ol it iu all parts of the district." The value of forests having reached, at length, such general appreciation that several of the States are making oaruust bat costly attempts to supply their deficiencies in this regard, and others are taking measures to prevent 'any needless waste, we aie warranted in giving a brief summary of the statistics of forests and farm lands. The total area in wood land is 159.310.J77 acres, or 39 percent, of the aggregate of 407,735,041 acres in (arms. The Southern States are remarkably well wooded, the twelve States from Maryland to Tennessee averaging 52 per cent.

Tbe New England have 3d per cent, of their farm area in forests, the middle States 28 per and the central States. from West Virginia to Nebraska, averaging 32 per cent. West Virginia has 51 per Kentucky 48, Ohio 31, Indiana 39, Illinois 19, Iowa 16, Kansas 11, Nebraska 10. California 4. The Territories are not rich in forests, except Washington, which has 44 per cent, ol its larm area in wood land.

The Albany (N- Journal publishes an address signed by twenty Democrats of that city, announcing that they have formed a Grant and Wilson Clnb, and will endeavor to induce others of the same political party to follow their say "Disgusted with tbe late Democratic nominations at Baltimore, we consider it to be our dn'ty to support a candidate in whose four years of admin- istiation there is so little to criticise aud so much to unreservedly commend. We consider that U. S. Grant has faithfully discharged the duties of Chief Magistrate of this Kepnblic, and as we are now as a nation moving forward with prosperity and peace, we will endeavor to secure those blessings tor the future by aiding in President Grant's re-election. Hoping that all true and independent Democrats in this city will follow our example, we unlnrl tbe banner ol Grant and Wilson, and announce that under it wo will light daring tbe present campaign." General Joseph E.

Johnsou, ox Confederate army writes in his letter: "As Mr. Groeley has been nominated by our party I sincerely hope every Democrat will vote for him." That's it! Ourparty. How is it, then. Messrs. Liberal-Reform-Republicans, that you entreat and urge that Horace Grce- ley, having never been anything but a Republican, all Republicans should vote lor him, and argue that, of coarse.

Democrats will vote for General Grant because he was always a Democrat It will not do. The Democrats are welcome to Mr. Greeley, if they can swallow one made up of so many contrary beliefs aud isms, but the Republican party feel safe in following the leader, who, bringing to a safe end the attempt to destroy our Union, has enforced tbe laws, and made tbe authority and flag of the United States respected. The friends of Mr. Greeley are chiefly those who attempted their overthrow, and see in his election only another means to attain their ends.

Horace If a selection of a candidate for President of tbe United States had been made at random, from any considerable number of prominent meu, none moio etni- ueutly unfit for the-position-than Horace Greeley could have been hit upon. Indeed, it a labored effort had been made to select the most unfit man for tbe posi- ition it could not have been more successful than in bringing forward Mr. Greeley. Of all men in this land, high or low, rich or poor, learned or unlearned, experienced and inexperienced, none is more completely and thoroughly unfit for the office of President of the United States. He has not, nor ever was suspected of being possessed of a single trait ol character necessary for executive officer of a great nation.

Nor is he much better as a legislator. He was once sent to Congress ana the only idea he had when he got there was an onslaught on the system of allowing mileage to Congressmen. Because he could not make bis colleagues agree i him in sentiment be became disgusted mid resigned, but took good care to draw bis own mileage before be left for New York. This is the extent of his legislative experience. Executive experience he is totally without.

Yon can scarcely name a question of morals on which he has not been on both sides during bis life. The wildest and newest theories of social life, or religion, always find a strong advocate in Mr. Greeley. until tbe novelty wears off, when be drops it for something newer aud fresher. Uustability and uncertainty are the maiu-springs of his life, social, moral and political.

He was for President Lincoln, and then against him. He was warmly for Gen. Grant, aud now is against him. He was for secession aud tben against it. He.was for patching up a peace with tbe rebel States under tbe'auspices of Colorado Jewett, and tben against it.

It is a most undeniable fact tbat be is by turns everything and nothing long. Ho has all hie life been suffering under an ardent desire for office, yet has never been successful. He is continually imagining his claims to consideration and preferment overlooked. He has never gotten what bo thought bo ought to have had. Hence it was tbat years ago he wrote tbat celebrated letter to Seward, in ho announced thu fact that the political co-partnership of Seward, Weed aud Greeley was dissolved.

He is consistent in nothing, nothing under tbe BUU. llo tanuot be relied upon for twenty-four boms a degieo of Faust, bo is ready to sell bis soul for a chance to bold tbe Presidency of the United States lor four 3 cars. In bis ardent lougiug after this ho goes back on himself, ou his political associates, on his record of a long life--on everything which gave biro cbaractei and fame in the country. He goes down ou bis knees aud wallows in mud and mire to the Dem- ociatic party, hoping and imploring that they may help him in tbe hour of bis great need. It seems now (rom late revelations that last fall bo was iu correspondence with Horatio Seymour and other leading Democrats of New York, lor tbe puipose ot securing the endorsement of tbe Democratic party as a Presidential candidate.

We bave not a shadow of doubt but that he has entered into most fearfully corrupt bargains with both Democrats and sore-head Republicans as to a distribution of offices, should he be elected. He has always been notorious as a great political intriguer and wire puller, and he now stands emphatically as tbe representative ol this class of meu, both sore head republicans and democrats. Tbat tbe people of this country will ever elect such a man President we cau't believe. R. H.

Dana. Jr, of Boston, speaks of him ns follows "When moo speak of soils and plants, they usually say that the soil is not suited to the plant, rather than the plant un- suitod to tbe soil. So I will ratber say tbat tbe Presidential office not adapted to Mr. Greeloy. I can scarce picture to my mind two ideas more incongruous than tbe Presidency of the United States nod Horace Greeley.

The good qualities he possesses will bave no scope in tbat office, and it will present the largest field for all bis faults and deficiencies. They will act there with intensified force and in vastly magnified proportions. If be were allowed bis cboice of all tbe offices in tbe civilized world, tbat of President ot this Republic is tbe last he ought' to take to himself. He seems to me to bo a visionary without faith, a radical without loot, an extremist without peisisteocy, aud a strife-maker without courage. He isgeuerally admitted to be vain, uuprac- lical, loquacious, open to flattery, easily intimidated, easily deceived as to meu, aud intensely desirous of olb'co.

And. while I havo never regarded his bat and his trousers as strong arguments Tor or against him, Lboie is no reason why we should shut our eyes to tbe fact tbat'be is whimsical, afl'eclod, boorish and profnuo." Civil Service Beform with a Vengeance. "In two or three instances I have been asked to say whether I wonld or would if elected, confine my appointments to Republicans. I answer these by pointing to that 1 plank of the Cincinnati platform wherein all who concur in tbe principles therein set forth are cordially invited to participate in their establishment and vindication. For my own part I recognize every honest man who approves and adheres to the Cincinnati platform as my political brother, and as such fully entitled to my confidence and friendly regard.

Greeley's Portland Speech." If ever there was a more shameful bid for votes--if over thejo was a more unblushing and corrupt promise to prostitute the entire patronage of the Government to purely partizan purposes, we have never seen How can any sincere friend of Civil Service Reform vote for Mr. Greeley after such a declaration as the above Tbe New York TIMES very properly speaks of it in tbe following manner "Here we have an explicit utterance from Mr. Greeley on the subject of Civil Service Reform. While "tbe organ" and Messrs. Schnrz, Trumbnll are hypocritically proclaiming tbat their candidate is pledged to make honesty, efficiency and capacity Ihe only testa of fitness for office, Mr.

Greeley himself comes out and publicly announces that he will divide tbe offices solely among bis supporters man, be says, in substance, who does not approve and adhere to tbe Cincinnati platform--and by adherence is meant, of course, support of Gre'oley--will be recognized as hit political brother, or as entitled to bis confidence and friendly regard. Here we have the shameful hypocrisy of this so-called "reform" movement nnblusbiugly unveiled by its candidate tor the Presidency. Hero is tbe Civil Service Reform of Scborz and Trnmbnll. Come up, supporters of Horace Greeley Come op. Tammany Democracy Come up, Kn-Klux Klans! Come up, Cincinnati brigade of sore-beaded, hungry office seekers! Yonr candidate is already ahead of you in earnest promise of early fulfil- ment of your wishes.

Civil Service Reform The Straight-Democratic Convention This body meets in Louisville to-day, and contrary.to general expectation, is likely to be largely attended by delegates from every part of the United O'Connor, the distinguished New York lawyer, will be nominated for President, if bo does not previously decline. Until within a very few weeks the Greoley organs paid no attention to this Louisville movement, supposing it to be a small affair and looking upon it with COD tempt, but they have recently gotten their eyes open to its importance, and now everywhere denounce it as a radical trick to tbe opposition to Gen. Grant. Our neighbor of tbe MAIL employs largo bead-lines to announce tbe fad that Blauton Duncan, oue of the chief engineers of tbe Louisville Convention, although a good rebel during tbe war and a good Democrat since, had fifty thousand dollars allowed him for damages sustained by him during tbe war by Grant's Government as soon as bo bad taken up this movement. It is possible, but not very probable, that the MAIL did not see Mr.

Duncan's letter before it made its publication, denying that he ever preferred a claim against the Government of any kind, or that he ever received one cent of damages from it. But the MAIL pretends to belief tbat the Louisville movement is more likely to injure than to benefit Gen. Grant, and it is, therefore, very strange tbat it don't pat Duncan ou the back and bid him God speed in his work, instead of abusing him. Its belief is "too thin" to spread much. QBEELET HAN! WILL THE MAIL PLEASE COPY Several weeks ago the MAIL published tbe names of three gentlemen of i a as'Greeley men.

who have heietoforo cooperated with the Republican party, but it seems from the subjoined letter from one of the three, W. T. Ervin, who is at present temporarily sojourning at Altoona, tbe number must be cut down to two, which is about a fare representation of the Greeley strength among the Republicans of Washington County ALTONA, August 29, 1872. To ihe Editors of the Herald and Torch, Hagerstown, Md: GENTLEMEN--I notice in the Hagerstown Matt of tbe 16th, my name appearing as a Greeley man. I take this opportunity to correct the same, as I never gave any man the privilege to use my name in that connection.

I am a firm friend of the present Administration and will support General Grant. W. T. ERVIN. Greeley'! Financiering.

The men who during the last forty years have entertained for Horace Greeley a more bitter and deadly hatred than for anything else human, now adorn him with all the rich and glorious habiliments of the Honest Man, Philanthropist Statesman, while they at the same time defame themselves with foul abuse of an honorable opponent. We are surprised at the following display of candor in the New York will frankly admit tbat we ourselves, although supporting Mr. Greeley, should be unwilling to submit tbe financial policy of the country to big uncontrolled personal guidance. Wo have been strenuously combating his economic notions ever since we came into tbe arena of journalism acd it would be absurd for us to preless implicit faith in his financial wisdom, when in fact we bave DO faith in it whatever, and never bad." Exactly so. There is truth in those words.

Undoubtedly Horac- will have a lightning scheme by which be will pay tbe National Debt in forty-eight hours, to the infinite good and prosperity of ns all. Aye, prosperity and economy, when Greeley's brain whirls in contemplation of the Nation's wealth, and Democratic bands are upon tbe locks of tbe Treasury vaults. A Venerable Lady Murdered-Her Nephew Charged with the Crime- BALTIMORE. August 27--At two o'clock this morning a pistol-shot was beard in tbe chamber of Mrs. Amelia lady of nearly eighty years of age, living at No.

OG4 West Lombard street, at tbe sound of which a number of persons collected around the bouse. Shortly after tbe report of tbe pistol a young man, named Jesse Uppercne, a nephew of Mrs. Wheat, appeared at tbe door in great excitement crying murder murder Sergeant Handy, of tbe police force, was soon upon the spot, and entering the bouse found young Uppercue in a state of great excitement, making loud cries of distress. Upon being interrogated by tbe officer as to tbe terrible affair, young Uppercue stated that during the night bis aunt bad called to him from ber room, which waa only distant from bis a few feet, and requested him to come into ber room, as she felt nervous. He complied with tbe request and laid down on the bed beside her and, as be says, quickly fell asleep.

How long he slept he does not know, but was suddenly aroused by the report of a pistol, and upon opening his eyes perceived the dark outlines of a man retreating from tbe chamber and in tbe direction of the front door. Mr. Uppercne says ho instantly sprang from the bed, and upon reaching tbe landing of tbe stairway discharged two loads from his revolver at the retreating robber, who, however, escaped. He then went back to tbe chamber and found tbat big aunt was dead tbat she had been shot in the left temple, and that ber death must have been instantaneous, as her features were composed as though she was in a deep and refreshing sleep. A coroner's inquest was held upon the body tbis morning by which a verdict "tbat tbe deceased dame to her death from a pistol-shot fired by a party to the jury unknown" was rendered.

Immediately alter tbe.verdict of the jury, young Up- percue was arrested on a bench warrant issued by the Judge of tbe Criminal Court and is DOW the sheriff. Up- percue is years of age, has borne an unexceptionable reputation, and bis habits are represented to have been correct in every respect. After graduating at St. John's College, in tbis State, bo spent several years at the Heidelberg University, and for a year past has been studying law in the office of John P. Poe, Esq.

His fronds all express strong doubts of his guilt. He talks freely with the officers, remonstrating against the reasonableness of tbe suspicious entertained toward him- Desertions from tbe ranks of tbe sold- out Greeley Democracy "follow fast and follow faster." Tbe latest accession to Grant is that of lion. J. W. Carson, Chairman of tbe Democratic State Central Committee ot Ohio, and in tbis connection it is stated tbat he lias many followers -who will make their opinions felt on election day.

Commenting on this tbe Chicago Times (Democratic) says: "If the men who betrayed the Democratic party at Baltimore were capable of seeing anything except tbe prospective spoils of office, they would recognize in such developments as these tbe evidence of bow great a blunder they have perpetrated. Tbat the situation should be socb as to drive earnest and consistent Democrats to tbe support of a man who ig not only a partisan enemy, but an incapable, corrupt and despotic President, shows that insanity could not have gone much farther, or last for office worked a more grievous change. If only oue honest Democrat had been moved to support Grant from the sincere conviction that bis opponent was a less worthy and loss safe man, tbe fact would prove that tbe nomination of Mr. Greeley was a mistake. But, instead of one, there are thousands." The Effect on our National Credit.

The overthrew ol tbo Tammany Ring in Now Yflrk in 1871, was followed by a The Transfer. Tbe leaders of the Democratic party very foolishly Supposed when they abandoned their party creed and party principles, and adopted those of tbe Cincinnati Convention, tbat it would bean easy matter to transfer tbe entire body of honest Democratic voters orer to the support of Greeley. Tbat they were greatly mistaken no one can any longer doubt. Wo believe tbat nearly one fourth of tbe honest Democrats of our own county arc utterly disgusted with tbe conduct of their leaders and will refuse to follow their ad Vice. Many ot them will prefer to votS for Gen: Grant as much the less objectionable man, iu a party sense, and much tbe safer man for tbe permanent good of tbe entire country.

Tbo following is tbo opinion ot Hon. D. Voorhees of Indiana on this think I understand tbe heart of tbe laboring people, who compose tbe great majority of the Democratic Parly, and I hazard nothing in saying that, if Mr. G-rceley should be nominated at lialtimorc, and every Democrat of distinction, whether in public or private life, from one ocean to the other, should support him, HE WOULD NOT RECEIVE AN A A Of MOKE T11AN FII'TY TEll CENT. OK T11E DEMOCRATIC VOTES OF THE UNITED STATES.

This 1 as firmly believo as I do tbat the sun will rise to-morrow. And if the madness and folly of tbe hour should consummate bis nomination, I am willing my judgment may bo tested hereafter by tbe From Yorkville comes one of tbe saddest stories of the small-pox wo have yet been called upon to record. About two weeks since disease got into a family named Koch, consisting of father, mother and five children.

Tbe mother and fifth child are cow confined to their beds with tbe disease, with the chances against Tbe father bas tliua far escaped.

HAOKBSTOWN, August 31,1872. Messrs.

Editors ol the Herald and Torch Light The fact that my name has been recently mentioned in yours and other newspapers, in connection with the nomination for Congress, is my apology for this communication. In the campaigns of 1869 and 1871, when the Democratic majorities were strong against ns I was a candidate, and now, when it is believed that the Rapnblican party can and will be victorious in ibis Congressional District, many of my friends have expressed to me their willingness to do all in their power to procure me the nomination for Congress this fall, bnt, grateful as I am to all who would confer the honor of Ibat nomination upon me, candor requires me to say that I mHl, for ihe present, forgo all political aspirations, and devote my time lo my profession, upon which I depend for substantial business success. There are others in the district more deserving (he honor, and more able lo lead tbe Republican party to victory than I am; and, without presuming that the Congressional Convention wonld select me as the candidate, I desire to bave generally understood thai my name will not be before that Convention. Not being In a situation to accept the nomination, if tendered to me, I will not allow my name to be presented, when it might inar Ibe harmony of ibc deliberations of ihe Convention. With assurances to the Republican Party tbat Ibe nominee of onr Convention shall receive my cordial support, I am very respectfully F.

M. DARBY. the Republican papers of tbe Congressional District please TUB; DOG NntaAsca--Is there DO law or ordinance in the Statute-books of Hagerslown, relating to dogs Are there no legal means by which a goodly number of ourtnapping, snarling cure, and ferocious mastiffs, may be squelched It is wonderful--tbe patience of the people of Hagerstown under this affliction of growling, yelping, dangerous dogs. Sleep is often impossible. To "wrap the drapery of your couch about you, and lie down to pleasant dreams," in Hagerstown, when packs of barking, fighting hounds are prowling through tbe streets, hooting cboico bits of oflal to supplement the scanty meals their happy owners dole out to them, is an experience vouchsafed to but few, especially of the residents of West Franklin Street.

A stranger entering Qagerstown at night through West Franklin Street, would suppose that be had fallen npou some Arab village of the East, where dogi arc held as sacred as tbcir gode at all events ho could easily infer tbat their owners hod not, vet learned the import of the Scripture. "Thou shall love thy neigh- bour as thyself." It is a-grievous annoyance to and suffering that oar city authorities ought to remove. It is an outrage upon society that should bo effectually running at largo of vicious, yelping brutes. Of what practical nso to Ibis community arc so many canines Toe Constablcry docs not need them as aids in the pursuit and arrest of criminals. The Police, loo, arc watchful enough of our homes acd properly to prevent bnrgla- ries, without canine assistance.

Of what practical utility is lo any family lo keep a lot of pestering, barking dogs about their premises? If they must have them as pets, lot them keep them within iholrown home-limits, nursing and fondling them, flos and stench included, to their heart's content, and not allow them the wide rango of the streets, to disturb the peace and comfort of the entire community. If there 19 any law in Hagorstown, which, if practically carried out, would remove the dog nuisance-, we respectfully request the "powers thai be," to put il in operation. CITIZKM. District Meetings.

Cooper, personally known to most of onr people as ono ot the old editors) of the Spirit, is in Philadelphia and will shortly take cbaigeof a new daily newspaper to be published, in tbe interest of the Democrats oppifced to the action ot the Baltimore convention, and the election of Greeley.

Mr. Cooper is a resident of Fulton county, and was oamed a short lime ago by the Democracy of the county as their choice for delegate to the Constitutional Convention This little attempt at "fixing op tbe sore head" had DO effect upon him, however. and both his hostility to the ticket and determination to oppose it seem ana- bated, Mr. Cooper has always been known aaa most positive Democratic and bitter partisan. He has been unrelenting in his opposition to every act and measure of tbe Republican party since iU organization, and hia old partner, the present editor of the Spirit, would hardly insinuate that he was bought by the administration.

Mr. Cooper IB a vigorous and iorcible writer, and if he be put at the head of organ he will make it tell npoo tbe nmrkcdjunprovement in tbo value of our nntio'nanecuritics. From leading financial journal of November 11, 1871, we clip tbe following: "Market for Securities improved under following influences First, the result of tbe New York election, imparting, as it bus, a healthy stimulus throughout every department of commercial and industrial nctivity. Secondly, increased disposition of foreign capital to invest itself Since the election, tbe belief has been that the dividends payable to foreign creditors will be reinvested dnring tbe next two months to the extent of fifty per cent, more than could otherwise have been expected. Tbe amount of these dividends is estimated to bo $125,0000,000." Hero wo bave cause nod effect-, tbe cauM, the defeat of the Democratic party iu a single Stnte tbe effect, the increase in the value ol onr securities throughout the world.

Does any reasonable man believe tbat tbe triumph ot tbo Democratic party wonld improve the value ol our securities On the contrary, can one intelligent man be found who does not believe that the defeat of the Republican party worrtd be followed by general depreciation of onr bonds in the money markets of Europe and our own country Our securities depend largely on the success, of the party tbat framed the system on which tbey are founded. To elect men arn to be opposed to this system, to bring into power a party that bas fought for the past twelve years against it, would be an act of financial suicide. Ex Governor Curtin, recently returned from R-jRsia, is said to be dangerously ill at Broklyn The Philadelphia Press says tho Ex-Governor will support Gen. Grant, but does not think he will Hartrauft.

record I make here Convention of Pat Men. Invitations are issuad to the fat men of the United stages to attend the 'An- nnal Convention of Fat Men," to behold at Pnt-in-Bay, on Lake Erie, on tbe 10th of September. Tbe Circular making the announcement says: "Tbo hotels on tbo island have agreed that special efforts shall be made to make the visit a pleasant one, and no pains will be spared by tbo Committee in charge to make tbis tbo event of the parties weighing 200 pounds and over, will be permitted to deliberate with tbe Convention. Slim ones will be welcome- Speeches, lectures, readings, recitations, whistling, wrestling, jumping, racing, rowing, fishing, swimming, singing, dancing, eating, will constitute the amusement while convened. It is expected tbat the delegates will bring their wives, be they fat or lean, long or short thick or thin.

Tbo heaviest man in the Convention present shall be President of the same." We have some fine specimens of fat men in this town who ought to attend this body. The Post-office Department has just completed the adjustment of salaries of Postmasters not amounting to four thousand dollars per annum. Tbe law provides that all salaries not reaching above these figures shall be adjusted every two years, based npon tbe business doue by each office, and tbat were there is an increase there shall be a corresponding increase of salaries. Tbe present adjustment shows that the increase in the postal business in some of the States bas been enormous, and that some offices which tbe adjustment of two years ago allowed tbe Postmaster a salary of only fifty dollars per annnm have Increased to such an extent as to now admit ot a salary of over twelve hundred dollars. The aggregate increase of salaries in the whole country undei the present adjustment, as compared with tho one made two years ago.

is a fraction less, than eight hundred thousand doliui. Berks county farmers report a singular disease among their cattle. Within a few weeks a number have gone blind, some in one eye, but most of them in both eyes. One farmer has twelve head, some entirely blind and others" partially so. Ono calf at three days old, never out of tbe stable, lost its sight.

On some farms two, three and four are victims of tbe disease. The nervo of tbe eye seems to die from within, and the eye becomes wbite. Horses have thus far escaped the affliction. Montgomery County bas chosen delegates to tbo Republican Congressional Convention, wbicb meets in Frederick on tbo 12th favorable to the nomination of Francis Miller, ol that county. The delegates to tbe same Convention from our county will bo chosen on Saturday nest.

H. FLORY, Sec'ry. VISIT OF AN OLD W. Kennedy, of Baltimore, visited our Sanctum lost week, and we were glad to perceive that neither age nor the vicissitudes, or "ups and downs," of checqucred life, had made any very serious impression upon his mental or physical organization. When we left tho hearth-stone, more than thirty years ago, lo toll among men for a livelihood, Mr.

E. was one of onr most prominent, influential and popular citizens, and was ono of the first to take ns by the hand acd encourage ne with his patronage. Since then the changes havo been many and great. Not one ont of twenty of those early friends Is now living In onr midst, or even elsewhere, bnt whether dead or alive, as long ai memory last! we shall always cherish a grateful recollection of all them. Dr.

Scbocppe is again on trial in Carlisle for tbe murder of Miss Steinnecke. He was tried and convicted npon this charge three years ago, and baa been in prison ever since. After various mutations, and a vast amount of effort on tbe part of bis German friends, a new trial was finally granted him, which is now in progress as above stated. An Electiou lor Governor and otber officers takes place in Vermont to-day. Tbe election excites very little interest, as it is considered all one way.

A very important election will take place in Maine next week, both parties having made strenuous efforts to carry the State. Ihe Soldiers' and Sailors' Convention. Tbis powerful and influential body will meet in Pittsbarg. on the 17th ot September to ratify the nominations of Grant and Wilson. All Soldiers and Sailors, who served daring the war in their country's cause are invited to be present.

It is thought tbat 40,000 veterans of the Union Army will be in attendance. About thirty persons, including the Sbippensbnrg Cornet Band, left tbis place for tbe Democratic Straight out Convention, at Louisville, on Friday afternoon in the 1:30 News. In several sections of Scotland tbe po tatn disease has made its appearance to such an extent as to excite tears for the wbolo crop. Entire fields are already affected.

Powosn MILL EXPLOSION-- FATAL RESULT. -The grinding house of the Keystono Powder Mills, Chambersbnrg, blew up on Tuesday afternoon, resulting in tho partial unrooting of the bnllding, and burning of ono of the employees, named Edward Clensing, in such a manner that be died on Thursday evening. The victim was the only person in tho house at the time of tha explosion, aud on account of his great agony, it was only a short time before his death that Iho'canse of the accident was made known.

II appears that Iho powder hud accumulated on tbe roUera, and cleansing, in order lo relieve them, nsed a coppernhovel, in doing which a spark was produced which done the lorrlble work. This it the third explosion since the Mill has been in operation, something less than two years time, killing two persons and severely burning Public Opinion. REGISTRATION Tho Registrars of Washington Connty give official notice that their offices will be opened on the 16th of September, aud conlinne open until the 18th inclusive, from 9 o'clock A. M. until o'cloct P.

M. each day. The Registrars in Districts No. 9 and 3, Messrs. Ground and Slartzman, have ordered thoir notices to be published in tbis paper la addition to their publication in ono of tho other papers, npon the ground that as the voters of both parlies are equally interested, the publications should not be confined to one clam? of journals.

Wo think this la an entirely correct view of the matter, independent of any pecuniary benefit that we or other printers may derive from it, and we thank those gentlemen for the manifestation of so much fairness in the discharge of their duties. To onr Republican friends in the several Districts of Washington County, we wonld Slate, that one half of tbe Presidential battle IB fought when tbe Regiitrora' Books are closed. Mo new A SAGACIOUS MOVE OH TIIR PAST OF MB. hear on what we consider good authority that W. FrcBCOtt Smith resigns general management of the Washington and New York through line, and accepts the General Manager's placo (a new office) on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

This move on tbe part of Mr. Garrctt is decidedly a politic one, Tor Mr. Smith is not only ono of the best executive ofllcers In tbe country, but he has an amount of personal popularity that makce hosts of friends for any road with which he Is tnylon Star.

CASK OF the protracted term of intenio heat we have been forced to endnrc this Summer, oar community has been fortunate in escaping tho severe and often fatal influence that the solar-ray victims of Snn-slroke arc usually from tbe throng surging through the crowdedind heated thoroughfares of oar largo cities, whose atmos- here is fall of sliding, imparity and pestilence, yet occasionally we find one and another in tbe pure air of tbe country succumbing to this depressing and devitalizing power.

Sach a case occurred on Sunday, the 18th, in the person of Mr. Joseph Ncibert, son of Philip Ncibert, of this connty. In attending to his work he had been exposed continually for a week or ten days to tho direct rayi of the San, and on the day mentioned was suddenly prostrated and lay In an unconscious state for several hoars. Dr. Scott was called in aid by persistent application of the appropriate remedlu secure! sac- cessfal and grallfyhg restoration.

Judging from Ihe cold dash of last week we may expect an early Fall, yot il lehooves every one to exercise dae caution as the heat of mid-day la still quite intense. COMFKDKRATE years ago Ibe Legislature of this Stajlc made an appropriation of FiveThousand Dollars lo gather up the of the rebel dead, buried on tbe Geld of Antle- tam and elsewhere li Western Maryland, and glvo them interment'within some appropriate enclosure. The gentlemen having the matter In charge as a committee, a year or two ago, por- cbased a portion of ike grounds of Rose-Hill Cemetery Company for ttie and lost week tip work of removal was commenced, tbe bones of qnite a having already been buried, bnfveryjfew, If any, are known. and Napkins Just received at McComas' Pallace of Beacty which nave been bought for cash, bo sold for the tame email proit. Ludiet now yonr chance.
