CONVENTION.

The Democratic voters of Center Town
ship, are lequestion to meet at the Court
house in Plymouth, on Saturday the ED
of March, at o'clock, to nominate candi-
dates for Township Offices. 1t is hoped
there will be general attendance, for in
the present state of our school finances and
laws, the amour, of Judicial business to
be done, and the want of good ande efficient
men is severely felt, and it behooves Dem
ocrats who have the public and individual
good at heart, to personally see to the Sc
lections of good, able and honest and ener-
getic men to fill all our public Offices.
MANY DEMOCRATS.

Sudden Death.

1t becomes our melancholy duty to
chronicle the untimely death of JACOB X
HUPP, one of our Oldest citizens. The cir
cumstances of his death as near as we have
been able to learn, are as follows: On Fri
day evening, the 18th inst, he was in his
saw-mill, where he had buzz saw in OPP
Grafton; his wife and two girls were in the
mill, also. They heard him groan, and
looked around; saw him set down with his
hands on his breast; he then tainted; when
he recovered he said he was very sick
told his wife to shut down the head gate,
that he was dying. The girls ran to a
neighbours house, AID got help; they car
ried him into his house, where he breathed
his last in few moments Some think
that the saw threw the end of piece of
wood against his breast; others think that
a blood vessel broke. There were no marks
diScoverable on his body, except dark
spot on his breast, about the size of quar-
ter of dollar, which was discovered when
they were putting on his shroud.
The deceased was good, substantial
citizen; had served four years as Sheriff in
this County, and has left large circle of
friends to mourn his untimely death. We
truly sympathize with the family and rela-
tives of the deceased, in this their day of
trouble.
y funeral discourse was delivered by
Rev. Austin Fuller, at the Methodist
Church, in this place, on Sunday, the 9th
inst, to large and attentive audience. He
was then taken to that bourne from whence
no traveller returns

The Spirit Hand.

The believers in spiritual manifestations
at least those who patronize the antics
of those spirits which perform in the dark
have of late greatly wondered and admir-
ed the new trick called the spirit hand =
The Rooms tried the trick on here, and our
neighbor Everett caught them at it. 1t
seems the spirit hand was part of the
humbug practiced by the Davenport fami-
ly in New York, and the editor of the Med
zeal Gazette has caught the hand, and IN
stead of being formed of thin air. it turns
out to be made of bran The following is
the expose as given by the Gazette
Ciepeland Paper
Among other miracles, that most dwelt
upon was the exhibition of the spirit hand,
which these Davenport boys had the facul-
ty to show rising above the able, and which
so many of the faithful had seen and would
swear to.
Accordingly, a time was appointed for
the faithful and a few skeptics to witness
the manifestations. They assembled, the
boys occupying one side of the table ex-
clusively to themselves, while the specta-
tors were placed at the opposite side, at a
suitable distance from the mediums. The
hands of boys being tied to the chairs, and
all being satisfied that there was no con
federate under the table, the gas was now
turned down, SO as to leave only sufficient
light to discern the spirit hand when it
should appear, and all present were re-
quired to keep their places, and on no ac-
count to approach the mediums After
waiting few moments 'handl' was seen
to ascend slowly from beneath that side of
the table where boys were, widely opened,
with the palm towards the spectators, and
was then slowly Withdrawn under the
table. All could see it by the dim light,
and the sect were in ecstacies. a skeptic
who was present, concealing his unbelef,
begged that the spirits would repeat the
manifestation, which being done, he quick
ly leapcd to the end of the table, clutching
the spirit hand before it had time to de
scend, and the gas being turned up, dis
closed stuffed glorc! fastened on the foot
of one of the boys so that his leg being
slylv lifted, made the manifestation! The
confusion made by this open exposure of
fragrant fraud and bold imposlure on the
part of the spirits and this Davenport
family, has put stop to these dollar exhi-
billions here.
Alta public meeting of the sect at the
Stuyvesant institute, all these facts were
exposed. and admitted to be conclusive
proofsof the knavery Of these choice me-
diums, by DR.. Gray, Professor Mapcs, DC,
but solemn protest against doing more
than adrising Davenport and his family to
leave the ely was made. To brand these
young impos;ers with their deeds, by sign
ing a certificate of the admitted facts it
was contcnded would ruin them for life
We expose them to save them and others
from being ruined, as the knaves or dupes
of spifitualism. But We fear they are past
cure

ment for getting up Emigrant Aid Societies
and procuring Sharpe's rifles rested the
responsibility of all the strife and blood
shed in Kansas, their sole object being to
defeat what they termed the infamous Kan
sas Nebraska act
These things were calculated justly to
excite the indignation of the people of Mis-
souri,, and Of Kansas territory.
He indignantly repealed the term 'Bor-
der Ruffians' as applied to patriots con-
scious of their rights, and with mind
enough TO maintain them.
Mr.. Oliver said he did not know any
Missourians who voted in Kansas, but he
had witnessed hundreds of Eastern men re-
turning from the Territory, who said they
had seen the elephant and filled their
contract to vote, and were returning home.
He said to authorize the Committee to
send for persons and papers, would be to
give countenance to revolution and defiance
of law, and trusted the House would refuse
this request, made at the instance of the
man Reeder who has smeared his hands
with the blood of his fellow citizens, and is
quietly laying the foundation of treason,
which only needs the overt act to justify
his being hanged as high as Hannah.
Mr.. Cumback, of Indiana, admitted as
charged by Mr.. Oliver, that the design of
the Emigrant Aid Societies was to make
Kansas free State, and the doctrine pro-
nounced by Northern Democrats, as the OBJ
lect of the Kansas Nebraska act, was not
only to make these Territories free, but
to establish Gordon Of free States to the
Pacific.
He never had any desire to go to Kan
sas till he saw an effort made to force slav-
cry there. He submitted to Messrs Oliver
and Phelps, who lrave addressed the House
on this subject, that we must ask them how
many men and whom shall 90 to Kansas
in order to become citizens? If freedom
gees there, that is war on Missouri. He
said that Virginia and North Carolina once
stood on the ground the Republican party
new occupies; if slavery is sectional who
made it so?
Mr.. Cullen said this question should be
settled with calmness, and according to the
principles which regulates Courts He
maintained that the House could not mpuyn
the acts of the Kansas Legislature, under
which Whitfield was elected. Gov. Reed
er decided that the members were duly
chosen, having commissioned them and
sent message recognizing their act as le-
gal. The House had no right to open that
investigation, because it cannot 90 beyond
the record.
Mr.. Walker concurred IL the views *
pressed by Mr.. Cullen.
The House then adjourned until Mon
day.

PERPETUITY OF PARTIES.-Notliing can
be more absurd, nor further from the truth,
than the assertion that party lines have be-
come obltcrated, and political parties known
only to the past. True, the Wing party is
dcad--or, if not dead, is certainly in a
trance; but the democratic party has pre-
served the integrity of its principles and Its
organization. 1t still lives 1t has, too,
It's opponents, each with its political organ
ization and objects. a name has perish
ed; party once glorious in its manhood,
has fallen; but other parties live on. There
can be no such thing as no parties in our
country. In a republic like ours, where
the people rule, they must of necessity and
they always will exist The Democratic
party will live while there is IA republic to
maintain and a constitution to uphold; and
it will always have its opponents. Let not
Democrats, therefore, deceive themselves
by supposing that the Democratic party
has no opponents. Nor let it for a moment
be supposed that the death Of one party in
sures the death of all. 1t is political par
ties which conduces to the prosperity of the
country. 1t is public sentiment embodied
in an organization termed party, which
gives us good government through the
popular will. There are evils in all parties
and there always will be; but their total an
nihilation-supposing such thing posi-
ble--would be calamity TO our country
from which it never could recover. Par
ties are immortal in rcpublic-thcy vii
have an existence. While the Democratic
party maintains its national position, it can
not die; and while it thus exists, there vii
always be found Its opponents. Parties
have as much IN existence now as they had
in the time of jefferson and Jackson--th
organization is as complete ard their en-
deavors TO obtain hold of the popular viii
are not whit abated. The Republican
and Know Nothing parties doubtless will
be annihilaied next November; but other
parties, opponents of Democracy, will rise
Phoenix like, from their ashes, and strut
their brief hour upon the stage

\ New CAVE AND ITS SECRET.-During
the latter part of January, some laborers
on the Virginia Central railroad, near Gov
ington, Allegheny county, Virginia, dis
covered new cave, of considerable ex-
tent, with an opening at each end. On ex-
ploring it, they found the dead body of a
man, in full hunting costume, which crum
bled to pieces like dry dirt, when touched.
One of the persons took hold of the foot,
which Immediately broke from the leg.-
On examining the body, next day, a peck
ct book was found, containing papers,
among which were seven bonds for large
amounts of money, one being for SO, 500,
dated in the year 1923, and others dated
in 1926. All of them were signed or Civ
en- by old settlers of Allegheny and Bath
counties. 1t is thought that th) circum-
stances under which these bonds have
been kept from the light, will bar the ap-
plcation of the statute limitations, in
which some very respectable persons in
that region will be placed in rather embar-
RAISING circumstances, as they will be held
responsible for the bonds to the full extent
of the property inherited by them, as heirs
OF the signers of the papers. The Green
brier Era, which is the authority for this
account, does not say whether the name OF
the deceased is known, nor whether any
marks OF violence were found.

Oh. how long for one warm day,
To melt the frozen stuff
You've been here now, bout 50 days,
No signs Of leaving yet,
I'm sick and tired of seeing sleigh's-
But you wont leave, I'll bet!
But day is fast approaching on,
When you will have to go;
The sun will soon shine down upon
You, hoary headed snow.
Then you will melt, and down you'll 70,

As if YOU thO't we didn't know
You'd ever left us, irer!

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The list of premiums published to-day
by the officers of the Agricultural Society,
should receive the attention of all our cit
liens. The first annual fair was productive
of much good, and was better attended
than was at first anticipated. The pros
poets for the next fair are good, and all that
is necessary to insure success is the hearty
cooperation Of the people. 1t is an estab-
lished fact, that fairs are beneficial to any
farming or manufacturing community; and
their introduction into this coun-
try Is but of recent date, vet, wherever they
have been held. they have revived the en-
ergies of the farmer and mechanic; and
have thus been the means of making many
improvements in mechanism, and bringing
a greater variety of better produce into
market.
The interests of any legitimate business
is closely allied to that of the tiller of the
soil; and any advancement he makes in his
vocation is benefit to the whole commu-
nifty. When he compares his productions
with that of his neighbors, and is made
acquainted with the process by which it is
produced, he knows at once which method
is the most practicable, and his future la
bors receive the benefit of the information
thus obtained. In manufactures, also, the
competitors have the benefit Of each 9TH
er's skill.
The next annual fair will probably be
held in October next.
