but there was no bid. Ether times are iot
hard for the Pennsylvania Railroad sCompa.

The frsi excursion to Niagara Falls, over
the new route through Northern. Peunsylva.
MIA and New York, is announced for the 23d,
2l,h, and 25lh Of August The attaches ol
Messrs. Cornelius & Bakers chandelier man.
ufaclory are getting it up for the purpose Of
afording the artisans connected with that es-
tablishment an opportunity of ui,nessing the
great wonder of Nature, and giving them
some relaxation from their labors. Exten-
sive arrangements are being made for the
excursion, which will be accompanied by
an efficient band Of music. Formerly il was
only the upperaendom that could visit Nj
agara for pleasure, now faithful labor leads
the way.
In the political department there is moth
ing strange. The Know-Noihings have nom.
mated Mr.. Kern for Sheriff, but it seems as
il he could hardly stay nominated. Mr.. c.
J. Wolber, one Of the candidates in tho Iodg-
es, who was defeated by Mr.. Kern, publish
rs long circular address 10 the Executive
Council oil the American party, making eigh-
teen specific charges against the fairness of
the election, whereby his competitor got the
advantage OF him. According 10 Mr.. w. the
officers in some of The Councils were per-
sonal friends Of candidates, and other persons
were admitted to vole who did not belong 10
the Order; thai in one Of the Councils where
ninety five votes were reported as having
been given for him, he has the names of one
hundred and twelve members Of the Coun-
Gil who are willing 10 be qualified that they
voted Tor him on that occasion. He Is a lit
lie yerdani in asking them 10 be honest
enough to try The battle over.
As it is supposed there are still few Wigs
in existence, even if the party is deiunci, and
as their votes need looking after blythe Know
Nothings, they have flung out few slool pi-
geons to issue call for Wing Stale Con-
venlion 10 be held at Harrisburg on the 1lth
of September. Wonder how many will be
in that Convention who voted for Darsie last
fall.
Alderman Mitchell died last Thursday
He was one of the best officers in the City,

DEMoCRATlc COUNTY cow ENrIoN.

TN accordance with the rule of the Demo-
l. cratic party, the Democratic voters of the
several election districts of Columbia county
will meet at their respective places of holding
the general election, on = SATURDAY the 25th
day Of August next, between the hours Of 5
and o'clock In tho afternoon to choose two
delcgatcs from each township, to meet in
County Convention at the Court House in
Bloomsbury on MONDAY. the 27th day of
August next, at I O'Clock, r. NJ, for the pur-
pose Of making the annual nominations of the
Democratic party. 3a
The Democrats Of the several townships are
enjoined to strict vigilance that none but Dem
ocrais participate in these elections, and the
success and integrity OF the party impeatively
requires that Know.Nothings cannot and sh a II
not have voice eithor as voters, officers or
delegates in the formation of ticket which
they would not support when formed, unless
by some unfortunate accident some OF their
own kind should be on it. The Democratic
party accords to these men the same right
which IL claims for itself TO support men oil
their own principles; but they must do II in
their own household, and not attempt to force
them on the people under the name of Dem.
ocrats. Although it may he difficult in all
cases 10 know who belong to the Secret Order,
che precedent Of the Democratic State Con.
vention seems 10 be the only safe one-that
the tree must be judged by its fruit, and tina,
ttose men who year after year openly and no.
toriously oppose Democratic nominations end
support Wing and Know -Nothing candidates
are not Democrats. and con have no just or
honorable claim to control or direct the policy
tf party which they havo refused to support
and vainiy attempted to destroy.

want Of such a remedy has been the cause Of
SO many ccnsumptions among young female
To ladies whose health will not permit an In

valuable acquisition, as they will prevent
pregnancy. Headache, pain in tho side, pal.
pitaiion of the heart, loathing of food, and
disturbed sleep do mos. ALWAYS arise from the
int eruption of nature; and whenever that is
the case, the Pills will invariably remedy all
these evils.s Nor are they less eficacious in

II Potatoes appear TO be SO abundant
that the price has come down in some parts
of the country very rapidly and very consid-
erably. In Lancaster they are selling at 75
cents, The Daily of that place says, and con-
siderable contracts for future delivery have
been made al 80 cents per bushel. In ), ra-
cuse, N. Y: contracts have been made for fu-
lure delivery at fifteen cents busheI. This
is an extraordinary decline from 80 rs and
SO bushel, which they sold al in The winter.
These statements are made in the newspa-
pers of those places, and are not contradict
ed. We suppose, therefore, they are strictly
true.

The Democrat still raves on because the
Standing Committee Of this county took the
advice of pruden, and true Democrats, and
like their brethren in Montour, Luzerle and
more than one half the state beside, called
no conventions this spring. Last fall and ibe
fall before the Democrat was not satisfied
when the Committees did call conventions,
but went over 10 the Wbis and Know-Noth-
ing volunteers where it belongs. OF course
il is not to be expected that any thing which
the Democratic party can do will satislyit.
With the spirit o! the loafer in the old story,
the editor determined that the Democrats
were wrong and should be defeated in 1858
and 1854 because they did call conventions,
and now Ls says they are wrong and shall
be thrashed because they did not call on
veu,ion. Like the dog in the manger, he
determines nobody shall eat if he can't He
will fight against Democratic nominations

Nothings and Wings, but not against them.

DANIEL SNYDER, aged about 72 years.
Another strong link in the chain of BROTH
erhood Is torn out, and another of ,he vener-
BILE fathers Of The town has gone 10 his res, in
his long home. He was pioneer in this
village when il was rude and rough and wild,
in his years of early manhood. He grew In
10 manhood with it. and gave all the best
years Of his life to make his honest toll smile
from the glaidening new homes as they
sprang up; until he could see bis hand of
usefulness in all around him, and he becana
10 love the Town as one Of his OWE children.
And so his honest heart guided his toiI-worn,
open hand 10 miaislef lis true and warm Corr
man hospitality to many friends through
long life surrounded with all the enjoyments
that make life worth living for; until after
full thee-scofe and ten he was gathered, like
one Of his own ripe sheayes, in the harvest
OF Death.
His integrity Of character gave him strong
hold upon The hears of The many who cane
to know him rightly. He was not ambitious,
except il was 10 make the earth more beau.
tiful and more bounIiful for his having lived
upon it. He accepted seat in the State Le-
gislaluIe, but it was not from lust for Office
OF profit. He was happier far in his home,
and among his honest yeoman neighbtfs.
He was devoted member and pillar of
the German Reformed Church, and reared
his family like Christian patriarch. His

knew him best can testify that II was zeal.

T GA Who LkwyERp in his organ of

the fact 10 show how the tool was pad

design 10 reproach the Wing master for his

Therefore as we made no personal attack
on him the public can have no interest in
his name. /. is however right TO say that
bis reason for feeding the Democrat was not
given al The time we referred to, bu, preyi-
