Sheriff..

In the "Locotococrat'' of last week, we
see that two gentlemen after having been
strongly solicited by their friends have
offered themselves as candidates for the
Sheriilaity-suhject to the decision ofthe
"Democrduc" convention which is to
meet in this town on the 18th of June. =
We understand there will be several can
ddates Ter nomination. The anxiety is
all on their side this time. Some very
good wings are in a qnandary whether
they had not better let the election 90 by
default, but that is not our nolion-we are
for voting against ocofocoism SO long as
it and us co>cXist.

"SNAKE IN THE GRASSn-BUT
TOOTuIESS.

"Too much of the spirit of'76 yet remains in
the popular mind to peacefully brook the degre-
dalton Of Stamp Act.'
With the above quoted sentence ends an ar
ticIe in the ocoioco paper of this county, of last
Saturday. 1t is part Of the contemplate
practice Of making political capital out of a
mere mare. The popular mind we presume has
sense enough to discriminate between a
stamp act imposed by ourselves, upon ourselves !,
to raise money to pay our lawful debts, and an
act with n similar name, imposed by foreign
government to wiring money from us, where
with to pamper royalty arA sustain thc.'pagaen-
try Of a court in which we had neither interest
nor delight And it is to be hoped that "too
much OF the spirit Of honesty yet remains in the
popular Hlind''to allow it to listen to any grass
hidden ropudiator, or other thing, that would at
tempt TO weaken the efforts Maryland is making
honoraby to discha. re her obligations.

A Love Story.

In the North Adams Transcript story
is related of a fair damsel in that town
who found it somewhat difficult to de-
eide between rival suitors for her hand,
and made them both agree to accompany
her to the office Of the Squire" where
she promised to make her selection, on
condition that the rejected sutton should
pay the marriage fee, present her with five
dollars, and then depart the town for the
space of one year The Transcript says
that this bi, of drama was actually per-
formed, and the desolate one left town
per agreement.

A RACE-AN ACCIDENT.

For the first three miles each time, they ran TO-
gothcr-'he last mile, both heats Fashion dash

About the time of starting, large sc1flold

Babe the Pirate.

Babe suffers much, says the New York
Tribune, under the state Of uncertainty
which hangs around him in consequence
OF his frequent reprieves. lie says his
mind is nearly gone, and he doubts if he
should ever be man again, were he to be
pardoned He has now only few days
to live, It he is not rtprieved; and he says
he would rather be hung at once than
suffer as he has done, all the horrors of
anticipation, heightened by the occasional
CLEANS of hope.
Since the above was in type, we see
that the President has respited Babe until
the first Friday in June, 1916.

Bishop Of Pennsylvania.

In a portion Of our edition of Saturday
we announced the unanimous election Of
DR.. Alonzo Potter, by the Episcopal con-
vention, to be Bishop Of Pcnn>y lvanla.
This Philadelphia Gazette says:
"Dr Potter is at present the professor
Of Bellies Letlres and Moral Philosophy
in Union College Schenectady, New
York, and was formerly the Rector Of ST.
PauI's Church in Bolton. While he had
the charge Of that parish, he was elected
to the Episcopate at Massachusetts, but
was compelled TO decline the appoint
ment, as the rigid climate and strong cas-,
terly winds Of that region were found I'M
favorable to the health of his family. The
same cause induced him to resign his
parochal charge in Boston and return
once more 10 his professors chair at
Union. DR.. Potter is the son.in-law OF
the much respected DR.. Mott. of New
York; his views on church policy agree,
with almost uniform coincidence, with
those of our late venerated and apostolic
diocesan Bishop White; and the whole
tenor Ct his life, as gentleman, a scholar
and a christian, is an assurance that un-
der his guidance the church will COM.
mand the respect Of the world"

Jacob II, Hart, who escaped from the Jail in
this place last winter, and who was arrested in
Pennsylvania and brought back here, again es.
capped on last Friday night together with another
man who was put in prison for passing counterfeit
money. They broke a hole through the wall and
got out with leg irons on. On Saturday the Sheriff
summoned strong posse and searched the coun-
try round, but without success.

something 10 THAT wall as the Jail is not fit to
