An Exciting Scene.

A most exciting scene occurred in Greene
street on Saturday afternoon last about two
o'clock AS Mr. Charles KonIchmaker, (who
resides above MoIisville, on the opposite side
of the riverl was sitting in an open wagon
alongside of the Market house, his horse sud
denly started off in full gallop down Greene
street towards the Assinpink. Unfortunately
the lines had been thrown across his back, and
were consequently out Of Mr. Konichmaker' S
reach.
In this exciting dilemma, Mr. K, with great
presence of mind, seized hold of the long flow
ing tail of his horse, and held on with the
grasp of a giant The horse, a fine Young
spirited stallion, went down the Greene street
hill at speed that caused the crowds of spec
tators that lined the streets to hold their breath
with suspense and apprehension for tho safety
of the gorgeous rider. 1t was vain for the
lookers-on to make any attempt to arrest his
dangerous career.
Onward he plunged without obstruction the
broad highway being fortunately clear of 9TH
er vehicles, and rose the hill on the lower side
OF the creek at the same furious gallop. A
short distance from this point generous col
ored man attempted to arrest his progress, but
the frantic beast knocked him down and broke
his leg. He continued his course for the Del
aware bridge, his usual route home, before
reaching which the wagon was "a perfect jun
BILE of fragments.
Here Mr. Konichmaker let 90 the horses
tail, and found himself in the dusty road with
out any injury more serious than a thousand
bruises acquired in his laundering and peril
Gus Journey over the stones The horse was
stopped near the bridge, but the wagon was
scattered piecemeal along the whole distance
from the market house to the bridge. The
escape of Mr.. X. was truly wonderful. and
the courage and coolness he displayed in the
perllous extremity was the subject of general
dmiration.-Trcnton Gazette.

term" Party RoSved up Salt River

Last tuesday was proud day for the democra-
cy OF Cambria, and from the returns which will be
found below, it will be that they turned out
manfully to sustain the Constitution and Uuion of
their country. The vote was the largest ever pol
led in the county, being 1891 and our majority
Is such as has stricken terror to the FUSIONISTS
and BLACK REPUBLICANS.
Nobly have the Democracy of Cambria done
their duty, and more than redeemed their pledge
to their brethren of the State. They have rolled
up majority for Buchanan and Breckenridge of
1872 and that too notwithstanding the hercu
lean efforts of the pie-bald opposition Again
we say, all honor to the Democracy of our little
county, who have always ploven their devotion
to the country, and readiness to rally with alac-
rity under its flag to sustain the Constitution and
laws of the land.

A." PRINCIPLES are Eternal"

The result of the great struggle for the Pres
idency throughout the Union, on last Tues
day, affords overwhelming and convincing
proof alike of the stability of the Union and
the Democratic party, when the men who raj
lied under the banner of Black Republicans
shall have disappeared forever from the thea
tre of life, and the dangerous and pernicious
principles and objects of their party be remem
bered only as 'schoolboys tale, the wonder
of an hour" the democratic party will still sur
yivs, full of its original spirit. because its
principles are eternal, and can know no vari-
ablencss or shadow of change.
The election of James Buchanan while it
secures the ascendancy of the only national
party in the country during the next four years,
will certainly reduce 8 bleeding Kansas"
lecture to what new humbug the q freedom
shriekers" Will resort, in order to keep up the
shadow Of on organization. Perhaps they
will go back into the stables, alleys and eel
lars from which they eminated about year
ago Perhaps they will adopt once more the
dark lantern as their motto, and be content to
be recognized as the disciples of Ned Bunt-
line. But it matters not how reasonable
their objects may be, the National Democra-
cy will always stand ready to prevent them
from laying sacrilegious hands on the Union
and the Constitution. James Buchanan is
triumphantly elected, and we confidently pre-
diet that he'll make glorious President, the
opinion of the Solon that controls the Johns
town Tribune" to the contrary notwithstanding.

FRIGHTFUL DEATH BY a LION.
Moor RIVER DoRP, june %.
On Friday morning, the 18th of June,
several wagons, forming part of the second
division of the command, left Mooi River
Dorp for the lager at MaIiko. They rode the
first evening as far at Riet Spruit noted
place for lions. Mr. Philip Van Collier and
his brother, wishing to proceed, inspanned
their wagons about midnight, although they
were strongly advised by their companions not
to ride hefore morning. They had scarcely
ridden an hour when the oxen were suddenly
frightened.
Philip Van Collier Jumped off his wagon
and endeayored to turn them, but, not sue
ceeding in doing so, sprang upon the wagon
trap, from which he must have been in1nedi-
ately dragged By a large lion with such force
as to break one of the traprims He was
heard to cry out twice for help, but in the con-
fusion of the moment was not missed, his
brother Adolphe being at the time on horse
back, endeavoring to stop the oxen. which
were going on at fearful rate through the
weld With much difficulty he succeeded in
doing so, and then returned to look for his
missing brother, whose body he found about
daybreak, and the lion crouchng about twelve

On coming nearer to his brothers body the
poor man was sadly shocked at its mutilated
condition, the lion having carried it long
distance, and then devoured the greater por-
ton. The remains were hastily conveyed to
town, and upwards of eighty persons attended
the funeral. Poor Philip Yan Collier leaves

nacous disposition. II accidentally cut in
halves, one half will fight with the other
half. Mr.. Hewitt mentions an instance
which fell under his own observation. One
of his travelling companions, in fit of irrl-
tation, cut one in pieces The head imme-
dately seized the body with its mandblcS,
and the body began singing away manfully
at the head The fight went on for half an
hour without any diminished sign Of life;
and this is what they always do. Instead Of
dying, as they ought to do, they set to and
fight away for hours, if some other ants do
not come and carry them away; whether to
eat them or bury them we know not But
the flies Immediately eat flies that are
crushed, and ants eat the remains Of crushed

CHLoRoFoM-At a recent sitting Of the

speaking of the power of chOroform, re-
marked that its use in the field hospitals of
the army doubled the strength and power Of
the surgeons, as they are more masters of
their action when operating on all inert
mass, and are no longer disturbed by the
cries or movements of the patient In the
campaign in the Crimea, chloroform was en-
ployed, he stated, more than $4,000 times
and always with success. This immense re-
suit, said NJ Flourens, is the best reply to
those who had felt apprehension at the use
of this powerful auxiliary to surgical oper-
ations.

W. II. Hamilton, Miss Lizzie Burbank Miss Jen-
ME Prchard, and La Petite Ctrto The male por

the spirited manner in which they sustained their
reputation as actors, we are fully satisfied they
will give satisfaction Mrs. W. II. Hamilton. Miss
Lizzie Burbank and La Petite C.rito, have never
before visited us, but are assured by those who
have witnessed their performances, that they can

this Company will succeed in winning the appro-
baton and favor of the public, and that Mr., Tho
man will have an opportunity of making up the
serious losses he has met with by fire, while en-
deavoring to furnish our citizens with amusement.
The programme for this evenings performance
is composed of the Comedies of " His Last Legs"

the cast Of characters we believe 1t Will be well
worth seeing. Let us make the opening night a
