The editor of the Lancaster Tribune, who
lately paid Lewistown visit, pays the follow
ing merited compliment to our hotels:
Unlike most places OF it's size, Lewistown
boasts several very fine Hotels, ono of the very
best Of which is that OF Mr.. MOVER, fronting
on the Public Square, and Immediately oppo-
site the Court House. The Hotel itself is a
very fne looking building, with elegantly fur
Bished parlors and sitting rooms, and having
what IL Of still more Importance TO the travel
Ter, large and well ventilated chambers, with
clean ard comfortable beds. The table is lib
orally supplied with every thing that is desira-
bic, and the landlord himself Is quiet, gentle
manly fellow, whom you like at the first
glance, and from whom you part with reluc-
lance. lie has, besides, the merit Of being
originally from Lancaster-havng formerly
resided in Marietta-and has therefore a claim
upon The patronage of such Of our people as
may travel that way, apart from the exoellency
Of his hotel. We speak from experience when
we say that his house bas no superior any
where ou, of Philadelphia"

DIsGRAcEFuL RIor.-We learn that At camp
meeting, held last week about FIVE miles from
York, set of rowdics gathered and commenced
thoir operations of mischief, by throwing stones
among the congregation and at the preachers
stand, breaking several lamps and endangering
the lives of those present. Not succeeding as
they expected, and fearing detection, they made
a hasty retreat. On the following evening they
renewed the assault, but were still more unfor-
them were arrested and others recognized. Sew
eral others are strongly suspected, and viii II is
to be hoped, receive their just punishment.

RHODE ISLAND ELECTION Nathan f. Dixon,
the whig candidate for Congress in this State,
was elected by majority of over 600. This
is another whig gain, the District having
been heretofore represented by locofocos, and
the change rs only attributable, says the Provl-

THE ABDUCTION OF REY.-The abduction Of
an Individual named Rey, at New Orleans, a
month or two since, with the advice and consent,
as is alleged, of the Spanish Consul at that port,
still excites 4 good deal of attention at New
Orleans, where the matter was undergoing
protracted investigation. The Spanish Consul
is under bail TO answer the charge. Recent de-
yclopments look as Though there were more
truth in the charge than at first appeared. The
Washington Republic, in article on the SUBJ
ject, speaks very decidedly, and says, the out
rage is one which the American people will not
submit to and although the President of the
United States has recently evnced to the Span
ish authorities and to the world determination
to suppress all underhanlled efforts TO seize the
Island of Cuba, yet we know that, when once
convinced that free man, be he a foreigner or
native, has been fraudulently and forcibly kid
mapped in an American city, by order of the
Spanish authorities, he will be prompt to resent
the insult, aud compel speedy atonement for
the outrage from the Spanish Government

THE IRoN TRADE.-rhe American Rail-

This great branch of national industry con-

cry mill in the country for making Railroad
bars. if not every one, has suspended work ::

THE ELECTION

In this CITY the election was exec dinghy quiet and
orderly without apparent excitement yet with an earnest
intention on The part Of the electors, generally to do
their duty The Free Soil men went into the election
without any organization in reference to it, having had
no meeting of the citizens generally, OF even of Ward
Committee Yet our vote has been very large, for
special election, at this of The year. and, it.
will be seen we have increased our majority TO 1913,
which is 100 more than it was in Novembers Thus
notwithstanding the very heavy gave at the
last election, have done part towards gaining
enough 10 elect Charles Allen.
The returns from other towns all look the same way,
o,ly in some of hedI, good deal more So Judge
Allen undoubtedly elected and by the majority of not
less than than fue hundred and it may run up, even to
thousand or Thus have the electors of this dis
ct viudcaed Their character, and proved 10 the world
that they not be sold and transferred by party lead
crs as slaves are sold at the south. And, in doing it
they have, at the time, vndcated the of
Judge Allen at the Philadelphia Convention, and given
their verdict upon the SANDERS with which he has been
uuscrupuously assaed. 1t is most truly, triumph
OF principle and of the people, party combinations,
party leaders, and party organization.
We close this brief article without expressing
special qualification the result in this city. More
than thirds Of all the votes cast were given for Judge
Allen and that in vote larger by hundred and fifty
than was ever polled here previous to the last Pres
dental election Ii has been gwen, too, in the face Of,
and against greater array of talent, wealth. profess
siona standing, and official influence in proportion 10

and devotion principle of the Free Soil men of the

-. THE FOREIGN NEWS.

The news from France is highly interesting and im>
portant, it determines the fact Of the election of
Charles Louis Napoleon Bonapare, the legal represen-
tat of the Emperor Napoleon to the Presidency of
the Republic, by majority imposing as 10 almost
crush all opposition. The strength OF ths. majority will
be orunate, il the successful candidate shall honestly
carry out the professions made before the election and
do all he can TO consolidate republican, institutions and
to give permanently 70 the principles Of the revolution
But advantage sha be taken of the popular favor,
overthrow those principles and institutions and 10 at
tempt TO reconstruct The imperial throne, it will pIoba-
bly, be the precursor Of future convusions the end of
which no man can predict. ms
Charles Louis Napoleon was the son Of Louis, King
of Holland the third brother of the Emperor. He was
born at Paris, the Goth OF April 1903. He had
good education, and inclinedto believe that he
is man of considerable talent although accounts are

LANDED TENUREs. The soil of England,
that in 1915 was in the haLds OF about 80 900 pro-
prietors, had been in the hands OF about eight
times that number only forty years before. In
other words, the proprietors OF England were re-
duced from 100000, as they were in ITS, to
aaout 10000, in the course OF forty years, or lit
lie more than single generation; and there is
every reason to believe that the process has been
going on with great rapidty from 1916 to the pre-
sent day.--The soil of Ireland belongs to about
10000, individuals, out Of a population of .O00.-
900. aud OF these proprietors great numbers are
absentees The soil Of Scotland belongs to about
5000 proprietors. With few exceptions, all the
great estates we fettered by strict entail, but the
recent alteration OF the law have commenced the
redivison Of land.
