SINGULAR DIscovERY-It is stated in one
of our English papers, that the work of
draining the Lake of Haarlem, has led to the
discovery of an immense mass Of human re-
mains, deeply imbedded in the mud, and
placed precisely on the spot where, according
to topographic chart, laid down in 1911,
and which has always been considered as per-
fectly accurate, the unfortunate village of
Nierewenkirk was situated, and which in
1899 was swallowed up by one of these ir-
ruptions of the North Sea, which formed the

The Great" Gas Mcetiugs

If our locofoco friends intended their
meeting last Saturday as an ordinary county
gathering, it was one that might pass, having
been about as large as the whig meeting held
in front Of the Lewistown Hotel in August,
but if designed, as their hand-bills stated,
for "mass meeting" it was throughout a
most magnificent fzze; at least thrce-fourths
Of them being either candidates for Office, of
fice-holders, their friends and adherents and
dependents of the canal. The people were
not there 10 the number Of one hundred, in
Guiding wings.
The first speaker who took the stand was
Joseph W Parker, Esq, who had great
deal TO say respecting Galphinism," which
he elucidated about as clear as mud. Had
he thought of it, he might have taken up the
State Treasurer's report on defauIters and
given a chapter on Mifiin county galphins
that would have proved much more interest
ing than his rigmarole on government 4
fccrs. Mr.. P. is a young man Of considd-
able ability, who could cut a figure some day
in the political cauldron, but like too many
others, he evidently mistakes windy declama-
ton for argument, and the common election
eering hobbies Of such newspapers as the
Pennsylvania, for sound reasoning.
Mr.. Gamble next took occasion to address
his new friends, for whose votes he will no
doubt feel duly thankful until the election,
when, for aught he cares, they may 60 to
grass. He is rather pleasant speaker, and
is apparently up to "snitz" in the Office
seeking line.
4 procession was then formed, and the
party marched down to the intersection Of
Wayne and Water streets, where, with the
assistance Of whig derrick, their pole was
pat up, with banner on one side Of which
is Pierce King and the Union" and on the
| other "te Constitution &, the Compromises y
which, considering that Mr.. King voted
against the Compromise, is rather Of the fl
hbuster order. On their return the meeting
began to dwindle away, but Mr.. Campbell,
from Huntingdon, fell to work and gave the
air 4 sound boxing with his fists for the
0p'SSS Va 'lOouI iOi " VI AitJ hiihuVSoj hiA|ii
raised curiosity enough to keep most of them
together.
In the evening, the band and drum and
fife got a small gathering together, and
| after a vain call for Brown and Parker, a
pop-gun from Hollidaysburg, yclept Thomas

The State Election.

On Tuesday next the People OF Pennsyi-
vania are called upon to make choice OF
Judge for the Supreme Court, a Canal Com
missioner, Members of Congress, members OF
the Legislature, and number OF county Oh
fcers-vhich, taken altogether, are certainly
of sufficient importance to induce every voter
to visit the ballot box, and there give express
sion to his opinions by voting for those whom
he may think most likely to carry out his
views. The candidates before the people for
the important office of Judge of the Supreme
Court ought to be well weighed, and if found
wanting in any particular, their rejection
should follow. The locofoco candidate Tor
that Office is an acknowledged ofice-hunter'
and has SO often met with pointed rebuke at
the hands of his own party, that there Is
evidently something wrong Nominated IN
caucus at Harrisburg for U. S. Senator, party
drill was insufficient to elect him subse-
ouentlv, Mr.. Polk, then President, nominated
him to a high Judicial station, and the L.
$. Senate, composed of large majority OF
his party friends, also rejected him! The
question then may we'll be asked, by every
voter, whether one who has been several
times tried and found wanting, ought to be
elevated 10 the highest Judicial Office in this
State?
For Canal Commissioner, our opponents
have nominated VIM. Hopkins, who has
given ample proof of his devotion to party
by an acknowledgement some years ago
that he had not nerve to go against 1t. Such
a man cannot but be of the right stripe
for the present rulers Of the canal and It's
ent profigate management will Of course
vote for him.
Our county has SO little OF interest in
common with the locofocCs Of Lycoming
(which is a sort Of State" on the Susque-
hanna Division Of the Canal, as Miffiin is on
the Juniata,) that we can hardly conceive
why a Miffiin county citizen should vote for
one from that region, unless he desired to
fasten canal chains around the necks Of tax
payers with additional riyets. We have a
Gamble in the Canal Board now-his brother
is up for Congress, and if there are any more
Of the name, we should not wonder to hear
that they are also III the market for Offices Of
some sort.
OF the county ticket nominated by the To-
cofocos we have heretofore spoken. They
would Of course like to be elected, and il
remains with the people to say whether their
wishes coincide with them. An occasional
change is of essential service to any party,
as it serves to purify it from the leeches who
are constantly seeking Office, more for their
own advantage than the public good, and ii
in this instance there should be such change,
it might do much towards renovatins some
Of the future selections already shadowed
forth.

1t will be seen and appreciated at once,
says the Daily News, that this increase of
one hundred and t,oenty-one millions Of dot
Iars represents but the amount Of money ex-
tracted from this country for the payment OF
foreign merchandise, which is, doubtless,
principally railroad iron. Upon this whole
amount of Indebtedness, amounting to two
hundred and sixty-one millions, the interest
is annually to be paid to Great Britain. Add
this interest to the amount annually paid IN
coin for merchandise imported into the coun-
try, and you have the benefits before yon of
the Locofoco Tariff of 1916. Therefore, it is
fortunate for the community that there have
been stocks for expectation. What may we
expect when Europe requires the money for
these stocks and loans
