We give a few evidences OF the fatter-

On every hand lac is getting most direct,
and cutiing thrusts from his own party;
snch as fore-doom him 10 defeat beyond

tice the fact that The Huntingdon county
Locoioco Convention passed resolution
approving the ONE TERN principle,

confidence of the people" Mr. NJ. said
he could not support that res olution. He
did not believe that Mr.. Foster was wor-
thy of confidence. He said he had been
nominated by management: that he had
withheld appointments upon the public
improvements in order to secure his NOM
ination; and that he had used his Office TO
effect that object; and that to this day, he
had not made certain appointments to I'LL
offices which were now held by men
who had given not one cent of security to
the State. He could not approve such
conduct. Besides, that Mr.. Foster,
when delegate 10 the National Conven-
ton at Baltimore had voted for the TWO

Pennsylvania were betrayed, and the ma
iorily deleated4o And an effort was made
TO sanction his conduct and his deinocra-

FATAL ACCIDENT.

We regret TO learn that on Saturday
last son OF jeremiah Cloud, of Cumber-
land township, in this county, was shot
through the head by an accidental dis
charge of his brothers. horse pistol. Tho
mas was loading his pistol preparatory to
repairing 10 the parade ground, and, his
little brother, Milton, was standing near
him. While he was ramming down the
wad, the powder ignitcd and the .rammer
and load were lodged in the head and face
of his brother, who was so dreadlully mu-
tilated that he died on the following day.
The rammer and other contents of the
pistol entered the corner of Milton's
mouth and passed up the cheek bone into
the temple and brain. No blame can be
attached to Thomas, though this accident
should be warning to all others to be
careful in loading firearms. We under
stand that Thomas had his hand badly
injured by the discharge of the pistol
The deceased was aged ten years and was
quite a promising boy.-Waynesburg

Great Hoax.

The city was thrown into broad grin
last evening by the announcement of an
nouncement in some of the morning pa
pers, and also in Hand Bills around the
streets, that a Mr.. Frouburg, the inventor
of a flying machine, would fy from
the top of the Hand Street Bridge to
the point and back again. This fabulous
gentleman exhibited great deal of cour-
tesy 10 the Press, and sent polite notes Of
invitation, but the hoax was too trauspar-
ent 10 take. However, knowing the gull
hbility of some of the people, we went
down to see how many would attend.-
We confess we were astonished. Thou
sands were congregated on both sides of
the river, on the bridges, board piles, and
in fact on every point afording good
view. We even imagined we could see
them on Coal Hill with spy glasses, ca
gear for a sight. ltappeared to us there
were more women than men. This
crowd was really curiosity, and we had
no little amusement in watching them.
Immediately after we got there. expecta-
ton was set on tip toe by several men
appearing on top of the bridge carrying
mysterious looking bag. That's i"
says one; "them's the wings" said anoth-
er; "he'll come it now," saId third, and
a general hum ran round. With mouths
agape the multitude looked up. A man
got over the ratings and approached the
edge and just as curiosity and wonder
were ready to burst, he opened sack
and out flew a White Goose !! Such
sloping off with mortified looks, II was
laughable to see. and the hoax afforded
matter for many good joke during the
eyening-Pitis. Gaz.
