TIE WING TICKER

Has been nominated by the Convention
for that purpose assembled at Lancaster
There appears to have been some difficulty
in filling up the Convention, and substi-
tutes were admitted 10 represent those dis
tricts whose regular delegates did not feel
interested enough TO claim their seats. In
the face Of resolution requiring the dele
gate TO reside in the district he represent
ed, we observe that DR.. James d. Straw
bridge, of Montour, did our district, com
posed Of Dauphin and Northumberland, the
honor TO represent her interests.
The Convention unanimously nominated
William F. Johnston, as their candidate
for Governor. He will find Col. Bigler a
much more formidable opponent than
Judge Longstreth Col. Bigler is decidedly
the most popular man in the State, and is
the real ''favorite son Of Pennsylvania
If he had been nominated in AS, he ballot
boxes would have told different tale
We shall attend to the merits of these CON-
petitors in a future number.
There was some difficulty in the nomina,
tion of Judge Jessup. lie was declared
nominated on the first ballot, but mistak,
was alledged and, after a sharp contest il
several succeeding ballots, he was success
ful. This Convention was more liberal tC
the wings in the North, than our demo
cratic brethren were to us, in selecting tive
candidates, Comfy and Jessup, from tina
section. The ticket appears to give salts
faction 10 the wings in this quarter.

two millions since 1871. The Post gives
instances of the increase. In the small city
of Cashel in 1871, the population was s, O36,
now $3.50; Limerick in IS4l, IS,393

IMPORTANT DECISION.

JyDGEs KING AND PARSONS, at the Court
OF Common Pleas, in Philadelphia, last
week decided that the operator was bound
to disclose the contents of telegraphic
communication when required to do so in
legal proceeding, as it was not among
the class OF cases which have the privilege
OF secrecy.
With due respect TO their honors, we
submit that the reason it has not been in
cluded in that class is, because, the case
has never occurred before. If this is the
law, our next legislature should alter it.

NoIsELEsS WHEELs-A New Invention.
In this instance the invention consists in
the application of a solid band of vnlcanzed
India rubber over the iron tire of the wheel
The India rubber is held in its place by the
tire having raised rim on both sides ard
by its own elasticity. The band of an ordi-
half in thickness, and, unless on close in.
specton, no difference from the common
iron-shod wheel is percepible. We have
driven some distance in a carriage with the
wheels 50 shod, and were struck not only
with their nOlselessness, but at the perfect
smooihness of the mOtion-but the wheels
being in fac, springs, and, by their elasticity
giving lighter drau9ht than with the iron
tire. We have seen one sci of wheels
which have been driven 1000 miles they
have here and there a lraing cut, but show
no appearance of being worn out, and seem
quite capable Of another three or four thou
sand An iron tire is generally worn out in
5000 miles, so that the Indian rubber tire
has so far proved itself the more lasting. #
is certainly a luxury OF carriage TO have it
run without jar or noise and il would be a
universal comfort to have the streets and
cities without the present ineessan, rattle Of
carriages, omnlbuses, &c.-SGeutifc Ameri,

VALUE OF RAILWAY srocK.

Persons living in part Of the country
where rail roads are scarcely ever seen,
can not be expected to be aware Of the
value of money invested in them. Indeed
until railroad is in full operation through
their midst, people can not realize its ad-
vantages. 1t is one of those things which,
though looked at with the eye of firm
est faith, experience only can teach the
proper appreciation. The extract given
below from the American Rail Road Jour
nal, will fully show the value of railway
stock. II is scarcely necessary TO remark
that the proposed Susquehanna Rail Road
travefses route richer by far in its resour,
ces than the road Of whose affairs the ex.
tract gives an account, and that the amount
Of travel through this valley will be equa
to, if not greater, than between Utica ant
Schenectady. We ask careful examina.
ton of the annexed statement.
The Utica and Schenectady railroad wal
put in operation in August, 1886 from tha
