Illegal Voting, &C.

We hope no attempts will be made to-day
to urge men to poll votes who have no right
to vote, or to coerce men to vote against their
own opinions hesesthings have been mat
ters of common occurrence, at some OF our
previous elections who had no more
right TO vote in this city than if they lived in
Texas, have been led to the polls, and their
votes permitted to neutYalize the votes of men
who were born in the city, and have paid hun
dreds of dollars in taxes to support the city
government. Other persons entitled to vote
have gone to the pollswit tickets in their
hands expressing their choice, and had these
tickets taken from their hands and torn up,
and others thrust in their places, and the
men crowded TO the stand and made to vote
before they had time to reflect. Of course
such tricks as these can only be practised on
the most ignorant or the most quiet, and only
by the most reckless and unprincipled party
hacks We hope no such disgraceful proceed
ings as these will disgrace our city to-day. A
Strong effort will be made to preserve the pu-
rity of the polls. Letany man who endeav-
ors to introduce an illegal voter, from that
time be marked and kept away from the polls
Let every man whose right tovote is doubtful
I be sworn and closely examined without fear
or favor. Let those whose duty it is to be at
the polls, no matter to what party they may
belong be stern and strict in preventing lie
gal voting. Let none but citizens Of Evans
vile have vote in saying who shall be rulers
of the city.

Vote the Bob-tail democratic ticket, clear
through from top to bottom and the proud and
broad pcnant of Democracy will wave in tri

Enquirer.
Now isn't that a beautiful appeal to be made
to intelligent men? The *proud and broad
penant OF Democracy" is the gcllet adopted
by the mobocratic meeting packed by the
Sheriff, in which the right Of free speech was
crushed and the Old Democrats of this city
were made to lznuckle down to the latest and
vilest political renegade taken to the bosom
Iof the Democratic party in this cty-a ticket
formed by him, and On which he refused adj
mission to any man against WHOM he had per-
sonal animosity-the GsvjH ticket and that's
enough. 1t is beautiful pennant to float over
Democracy 1t will do to wave over Gayitt
poodles, but will scarcely be acknowledged as
a legitimate Democratic banner by naeia What
has 'lanatcal temperance" to do with this
election? Is not the man who publicly declares
or pretends to believe it has, either grossly
ignorant or wilfully attempting to deceive
those who are ignorant? This editer certain
ly pays a nice compliment to the intelligence
of his readers. And what has this, election to
do with 'the twenty lone year" naturalization
subject? If none but those in favor of ttab
vote against the Gavitt ticket, there would be
precious little opposition toit indeed. But
Democrats can see through this appeal with
out even taking into consideration the fact Ct
its source-the one man organ. We are sor-
ny no higher nor more dignifed appeals can be
made to Democrats, than those contained in
the above extract. They exhibit weak cause
and an exceedingly weak newspaper advo-

EASTER DAT.-It is stated that the Council
of Nice, in the year 325, laid down the rule,
that Easter Sunday should be the first Sunday
after full moon, which happens upon, Or next
after the Dist of March. 'sThen the Fast of
Lent is continued for forty days before Easter
Sunday, and the first of those days is called
led Ash Wednesday, from a custom of sprink-
ling ashes on that day. shrove or Shrive
Tuesday is the day preceding, on which the
folks shrive or confess to the priest, and are
allowed tomake merry afterwards from whence
came the custom OF cock-fghting, &c., on that
day. Shrove Tuesday is the next Tuesday af-
ter the first change of the moon in February.
The earliest day on which Easter can fall is
the 22d of March, and the latest the 18th Of
April. Suppose the full moon to occur on the
oath of March, the first full moon after the
2l.t of March would not occur until the 18th
of April. In 1859, Easter viii fall on the 9th
of April. In 1915, it fell on the 2Sd of March,
the same as this year. In 1918, it fell on the
earliest possible day, the 22d of March,

Exn1plr1oS.-The seni-annuai exhibition Of
the Clearfeld Institute came Off at the Town
Hall in this borough, on last Friday evening.
Al an early hour, tho house was crowded to
overfiowing, and it was with much difficulty
that all the ladies present could be seated
The Hall was well lighted, and beautifully dec
grated with evergreens. We were much pleas
ed with the performances. Good taste was
fsplayed in the manner of their arrangement,
and the performers, male and female, acquitted
themselves in manner highly creditable to
themselves, and fattering to the principal OF
the institution. It was cause of qualification
to see the interest that is taken in educational
affairs, as was evinced in the large crowd Of
spectators present; and it must have been en-
couraging to both teacher and pupils to wit
ness such manifestation of interest The
Clearfeld Brass Band was in attendance and
enlivened the performances with q number of
spirited and well-played tunes. !.
