RUN-ofF--As Mr.. John McClelland, of this
borough, was driving in buggy up-street, on
his return from the celebration in Bradford on
the 4th, his horse took fright and ran off,
Mr.. NC. had with him his wife and child
When opposite the Jail, the affrghted animal
turned quickly to the right, and after crossing
the plank sidewalk, Mr. McClelland succeed
ed in running him against the Jail with such
force as to throw him. The buggy was broken,
and the horse received some injuries 1t
seems almost miraculous that Mr.. M and his
family escaped without serious injury.

AccIDEST.-As Joseph e. Brenner, Esq, of
Morrisdale, with his two sons and Mr.. James
Thompson, was descending the first hill on
this side of Kylertown, on his return from the
celebration at that place, something got wrong
with the harness, which caused the horse to
run off. The buggy, striking a tree, was bro
ken to pieces, and the persons in it were
thrown out. The youngest lad, aged years,
had his shoulder dslocated and his head and
face much bruised, and Mr.. Brenner received
some severe bruises about the limbs. His
other son and Mr.. Thompson escaped with but
slight injuries. The horse was not found un-
til the following day.

GREAT DEMOCRATIC MEETISG.--A grand
"Rally' of the Democracy took place at the
Court House in this Borough on the evening
of the 4th of July. The gathering was i'm
mense there being actually twenty-four per-
sons present, five of whom were Americans.
The proceedings were of little the raciesf
character. Judge Barrett was called upon and
responded in lengthy speech. We are of o.
pinion, as His Honor himself intimated in the
beginning of his remarks, that it was highly
improper for him, occupying position on the
Judicial bench, to take an active part in poll
tics. He, however, seemed to have soon for
gotten this, and warming up, delivered him
self of ssthat same old tune'' he has been in
the habit of playing for over a quarter of a
century. Perhaps he had some Democratic
blood in his veins that was troubling him. and.
like Buchanan, wished to let it out The
''large and respectable audience was further
entertained by VIM. A. Wallace, Esq; and
Mr.. Bartles, from ssthe Jarsies,'' was called
upon and administered dose that made the
faithful squrml. He said he was Just from the
land of Stockton, and was a warm personal
friend of the Commodore, but as he had fallen
into bad company, he now intended to support
Buchanan. That before he came TO Pennsyl-
vania he supposed every person was for the
'.favorite son." but on his arrival in Hunting
don, where he first stopped, he found no Bu-
chanan men there He proceeded to Tyrone
and found none there-came on to Philipsburg
and found none there, but on getting in the
stage at that point he actually found one man
that had the courage to vote for Buchanan
and he was Mr.. Koontz from Clearfed coun-
ty. That he was at length glad to meet with
so large and enthusiastic an assembly of the
supporters of Buchanan s:The faithful'' tried
hard to swallow the bitter pill, but it still
sticks in their sscraws'' and produces chok-
ing sensation whenever it is alluded to-
They'll choke worse vet before they get the
E'flvorite son'' entirely off their stomachs and
we very much fear, notwithstanding they are
provided with s'pump," that they'll have to
get either Fremont or Fillmore to work the
handle. We have no doubt either of them
could successfully perform the operation, and
restore, not only them, but the country, to a
sound and healthy condition.

The ssCLUB. .''-The ssBuchanan club'' held
second meeting on Monday night. The origi-
nal 'twenty-four,' including boys and Ameri-
cans, were present. An individual known,
we believe, as ''Corporal' Rote, delivered
himself, pronouneing Buchanan ssnot only the
flower of his State, but the flower of the u
nion." The ''corporal'' himself is ssbos-
som' in full bloom. He was followed by Col.
Cutie, the defeated aspirant for District At
torney, and T. J. Mccullough, Esq, whose
speeches we didn't hear, being compelled to
leave, but have no doubt they were equally as
good as that of the illustrious sscorporal.''

old and young participated.
I'VE would here state that II Is impossib,e
to publish the toasts and speeches, of celebra-
tions, rs they would fill our entire paper for
weeks. We trust this explanation will suffice
as our excuse to all.
IHE CELEBRATION in this borough was of
rather diversified character. A large picnic
party had been got up, but in consequence of
the rain which fell during the previous night,
1t was thought advisable to have the dinner in
the Town Hall. At u o'clock a large num-
Der Of ladies and gentlemen had assembled
there, and soon after all were seated around
table laden with one of the best dinners it has
ever been our good luck to assist in eating
Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley, who prepared it, are
deserving of much praise for the manner in
which it was got up. About A O'Clock large
party took trip to Curwensvlle and back in
carriages. ssYoung America" in the mean
time had also been busy, and congregating at
''Liberty Spring. had sshigh time" Of it.
In the evening large crowd met in the square
in which the Town Hall is situated to witness
a brilliant display of fireworks. After the
pyrotechnic exhibition was over III. B. Swoope,
Esq, was called upon and delivered terse
and appropriate address. The crowd then
dispersed with three hearty cheers.

ridors of the Capitol. She had no
friends, and, in Mr.. BuchaDan's estima-
ton, there is no retribution. But there
is a terrible retributiOn. and its day is
already come. Mr.. Buchanan had a
right to vote as he pleased on this ap-
parently insignificant question. He was
then but Congressman. responsible only
to his CONSTITUENCY and his conscience
But he is now a candidate before the
people, and the same people before whom
is beng pleaded the simple case of the
friendle,s revolutionary matron. Are
the brave, and just, AID grateful sons of
Tennessee prepared to cast their votes for
such man? Indignation burns in the
responce, as every generous bosom an
swer, No ! But we are not surprised at
this vote of Mr.. Buchanan. He was a
blue light Hartford Federalist, and did
not believe that government was intend
ed to do liberal Justice 10 individual cit
izens. He had bitterly opposed and de
nounced the war of 1879. He had pub
licly declared we had gained nothing by
it. He had denouncel the wise and pa
triotic administration of Mr.. Madison,
and characterized the "prcjeci, of his
party as ''wild and wicked"

BORDER RUFFIAKS INVADING NE
BRASKA.

We have startling intelligence from
Southern Nebraska. The Border Ruff.
fans from Missouri have invaded the
Territory, and up to Sunday had arrived
within 90 miles of Nebraska City. They
are over one thousand strong, are CON-
posed of Missourians, South Carolinians,
and Georgians, and are fully armed with
cannon, &C., prepared for war. Their
object is to stop the Free State SETTLERS
on their way to Kansas, through the Ter
riiory.
The news of this invasion reached
Nebraska City on Saturday, and caused
great EXETER: ent. About $50 men i'm
mediately volunteered to go TO the as
sistance of the Free State settlers, and
m essengers were dispatched to learn the
true state of affairs. Some 80 men were
also ra sed to go to the aid of the Border
Rufians.
We gaIher the above facts from pas
sengers who arrived in the stage on Sum-
day evening, and we presume they are
correct. Persons from Kansas, by the
same arrival, also report most disas-
trouS state of affairs in the Territory
The Free State men are everywhere be-
ing driven from their dwellings, and
compelled TO leave the Territory. The
ro-slavery party seemed TO be determin.
ed now TO make clean work of it, and
drive every Northern man out of Kan
sas.-COuaeI Bluffs Chr-notype.

From the Nashville, (Tcnn.) Patriot
MR. BUCHANAN VS.. THE WIDOW
BR0WN.

In 1919, Mrs. Brown, widow of Gen.
Brown, the immortal hero of Chippewa,
a most excellent woman, applied TO Con-
gress for the balance of years salary
of her husband which would have been
due him had be lived. Gen. Brown had
by his services in the war Of 1919, been
reduced from afuence 10 dependence
upon his salary as an officer for his daily
bread, and when he died his family was
left in want and destitution. He had died
of disease contracted in the seryi c of his
country, in which he had won name
which will perish only with the records
of his conurry's history. The bill for the
relief Of Mrs. Brown, passed, but Mr..
Buchanan voted againstit. See Regis
ter of Debates 1896, vol. Q. page 1889.
This is another leaf in Mr.. Buchanan's
wreath of ingloriOus fame. Need we
comment upon it, to arouse Tennesseahs
to indignation Mr.. Buchanan had the
right to refuse the prayer of old Mrs.
Brown. He was a proud Congressman
vain of his power, and she but afriendless
and helpless old woman, whose voice
was like the signing wind about the cor
