TESTIMONIALS.
During the time occupied the office of Com
missioner of Patents K II. Eddy, ESQ. of Boston,
did business at the Fatert Office as Solicitor for

acting in that capacity, who had SO much business
before the Patent Office; and there were none who
conducted it with more skill, fidelity and success

most skilful Patent Solicitors in the United States

they cannot employ person more competent and
Trustworthy and more capable of putting their APP
plicaions in form to secure for them an early and
favorable consideration at the Patent Office

DIED-On the morning of the 10th, Mrs.
JANE H., wife of Robert VI Wallace. of this bor
ough, aged 40 years.
On the lith inst, at his residence in Sibley,
Missouri, ZEYos LEONARD, Esq, in the 49th
year of his age, after an Illness of three days,
from inflammation of the brain.
Mr.. l.. was native of this vicinity, and son of
the late Abm. Leonard, of Bradford tp. About the
year 1880 he left his fathers house, and for short
time acting as clerk in relatives store in Pitts
burg he joined party of men for the purpose of
crossing the Rocky mountains exploring the Co.
lumbia river and the Pacific coast there to trade
trap and barter with the Indians and Spanards Of
those remote regions, and if possible to find out
more of the realities that have since been discov-
cred IN that golden quarter. of which pretty fair
narrative is familiar to all the youth Of
ty, as he sketched off one, which published
during his short visit home in 1885 :SetL;asa
gain bidding his friends adieu, he went ilhhsJdi-
ately to the spot where he died having selected
that pOint-then a wilderness, far beyond any hab-
itation-op his way back from the mountains as
the scene of his future operations. Here he soon
found the tide of emigration to follow, and of
course he quickly realized the reward of enter
prising and sagacious mind, in the rapid increase
and value of his possessions as a town, warehos
and wharf and Leonard's landing, became
realities. Mr.. l.. was a widower and now leaves
but only to cherish his memory. All who
remember him in his youth admitted him for his
social qualities, his kcenness of perception, and
the noblencss of his character generally. S.

THE CONTESTED ELECTION CASE between Mes
srs Mann and Cassidy, in the Philadelphia
Court has at last been decided in favor of Mr.
Mann, the Union candidate at the last election
for District Attorney. We have on former oc-
casions repeatedly predicted that the Union
candidates for Canal Commissioner, Auditor
General and Surveyor General were legally
elected by the honest voters of Pennsylvania,
and our belief has been fully confirmed by the
recent decision in this case. The Judges, IN
Investigating this case, discovered that l, ,l6o
illegal votes had been given to Mr.. Cassidy,
the democratic candidate, whilst 70 illegal
votes were proven against his opponent, Mr.
Mann. The investigation has been a prolonged
one. and Judge Thompson deserves the thanks
OF all honest men for the determination he has
eyinced in ferretting out these frauds and
we have no doubt, that if the friends OF Mr..
Mann had persisted in their efforts, over 200
illegal votes could have been proven, bnt as
they had enough to upset the election of Mr..
Cassidy. they rested satisfied. From the facts
nroyen during the Investigation, no honorable
man can doubt for moment but that Messrs.
Cochran, Phelps and Laporte, the American
Republican candidates, were honestly elected
