COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.-The Di-
rectors of this county, pursuant to law,
met at the Court House on Monday last.
and organized by the appointment of WM.
BRoTHERs, Esq, as President, and GEO.
W. ELDER, Esq, Secretary. After brief
but spicy debate, in which DR.. Belford and
Geo. W. Elder took part on the side of
Progress, aud DR.. Mitchell on the opposite,
the vote was taken and large majority de-
cided that AzARIAH SMITH, the present
efficient and gentlemanly incumbent, should
be County Superintendent for three years,
at salary of $500 per annum. As is Of
ten the case, the opposition of few dis
contented persons, who endeavored to bring
party feeling, religion, and almost every
thing else into play against Mr. Smith, re-
suited in making him additional friends.
The following Directors were in atten-
dance:
Armagh Township-Milliken Myers, Nag
>
Brown-Brothers, Kyle, Mitchell, and Barr.
Bratton-Boas, Bratton, Yoder, and Rey-
nolds.
DecaMr-Yetter, Fees, Lauver.
Derry-Miller, Cunningham, Means, Alex

Ter, Rlttenhouse, Snyder.

Newton Iamilton-CuIbertson Heister.
Oliver-Swigart, Roop, Wilson.
Union-Gibboney, Yoder, Kaufman, Nc
Nabb, Campbell
Menno-Hartzler
On the first ballot the vote stood as fol-
lows:
Azariah Smith, received 81 votes.

1t was then moved that the salary of the
superintendent be fixed at 5000 per annum.
Motions to amend the motion by fixing
S400 md $500 were then made, which mo-
tons were lost, and the salary was fixed at

DEATH FROM INTERNAL INJURIES
Joseph, son of Thompson McManigil, OF
Armagh township, aged 20 years, injured
himself internally few weeks ago at Lock
Haven while engaged in jumping. He
was taken to his room, and placed under
the care Of DIR. Garfield, and had improved
so far as to be considered beyond danger,
when it was concluded to take him to his
parents in this county. He reached this
place about ten or twelve days ago, but was
unable to go any further, He was then
placed under the medical treatment of DR..
Robert Martin, suffering from very Sc
we're attack Of inflammation Of the bowels,
which resulted in his death on Friday last.
DEPUTY MARsHAL.-For the purpose of
satisfying the hungry maws of the numer-
Gus applicants for this Office, the Marshals
of this State, it is alleged in pursuance OF
orders from head quarters, have appointed
two persons in each Of the smaller counties,
and perhaps more in the larger, tie take the
census. In this county, after s long ses-
sion ON the anxious bench, one bite of the
cherry has been awarded to Daniel Zeigler,
Of this place, and the other to Isaiah Cop
lin, author of letter to John w. Forney
and sundry other literary productions. We
do not know how the division was made, or
who has the head or tail.

An Election Trick Exposed.

The locotoco papers are publishing, with
flourish of trumpets, an article from
that Public Pauper, the Philadelphia Penn
sylvanian, an affidavit, purporting to have
been made before Alderman McNullin, a
thoroughly orthodox Democrat, by one
Smedly, to the effect that Smedly had
gone from Norristown to Philadelphia for
the purpose of voting the Peoples Ticket
at the Nay election. Mr.. Smedly has
been released from prison, and has made
the following affidavit, which shows new
feature in patent democracy:
city Of Pailade}pAja, SIS.
Personally appeared before me, on the 23d
Of April, \. D. 1860 Benjamin f. Smedle7,
and on his solemn oath doth derese and say,
that he formerly resided in Norristown, Mont
gomery county, Pa, but that he now resides
in this city, and on Friday the Goth inst,
while engaged in his lawful business, he was
beset by one or more to him unknown, and
that he was induced by them to drink intax-
icating drinks until he became intoxicated,
and that while under the influence of said
lQuoI VI Clilh, he was taheH sO@hcNHere 10
him unknown and, as he has since been in
formed signed some paper rurporting to be
an affidavit. But now, being of sound mind
and reason, he entirely repudiates it, and de-
nies all knowledge of the statements therein
contained, believes the same to be a complete
forgery, or that he was made to sign said pa,
per while entirely unconscious Of what he was
doing.

FIRE.-We regret to learn that the
barn of James Cupples, in Derry town
ship, was consumed by fire on Friday af-
ternoon last. 1t was discovered about two
o'clock, but the flames had made such
headway that nothing was rescued. The
barn contained grain, hay, wagon, nearly
all his agricultural implements, with a
number of other articles, all of which were
destroyed. \ calf was also unfortunately
burnt, It is net known how the fire orig
mated The loss is a severe one to Mr.
Cupples. being probably $500, only about
$500 Of which is insured.

CasWeil County.

An election has been ordered in Caswell for a
member of the House of Commons, to fill the vacan-
cy occasioned by the resignation of Hon. John Kerr
The election will take place on the 18th of this
month.
1t is not our purpose to thrust our advice on the
people of Caswcll; but we will be pardoned, we
hope, for expressing the belief that Caswel Coun-
ty-the native County of Bartlett Yancey, and Bed
ford Brown, and Romulus NJ. Saunders, and Calvin
Graves-will return a true Constitutional Union
man in place of Mr.. Kerr.
The County of Caswell has never wavered in its
support of Jeffersonian State rights principles 1t
has always been true to the Constitution and the
Union In the war Of the revolution there were no
tories in Caswell-during the war of 1912 her peo-
pie to man were on the side Of the country, while
during the Mexican war she contributed her full
share of brave men to vindicate the honor and up
hold the flag of the Republic on foreign soil. No
draft kno,on in Cas,oe for her people have
always sprung as volunteers to the defence of the
country. We believe that the people of Caswell are
fifty to one in favor of Constitutional Union; that
while they will be ready in the future, as in the
past to assert all their rights, they not yet pre-
pared to destroy the noblest form of government
ever devised by man and that the term submission
ist as applied to them, is q SANDER on brave and
loyal people.
