The Rulnps Celebrating their own
Death at Templar HALL

60 Hark
What melody do hear7
1st the strains of gentle music floating in the
summer air
Yes BY the Gods it's Dotys rub-a-duhs."
SHAKESPEARE.
By the inspection of the American Eagl'
posted about town last week, the " faithful
were informed that one ramp of the late Dem
ocratic party would convene at Templar Hall,
on Saturday evening, then and there to con-
dole with one another. The faithful are
either unable to read, or else belong to the
other rump, for but small number of the few
Loco's in this region, obeyed the summons; but
:" though lost to them to Stayman dear, and
accordingly as the shades of night were
falling fast, the drum poured forth doleful
sound, announcing that the Loco's funeral had
come, the saddest of the year.
Dotys rub-a-dubs being called into requisi-
ton, piped and pounded, and pounded and
piped upon the street corners and in front OF
Templar Hall, until a small crowd of juven-
lies had assembled. A Mr.. Stayman, who was
formerly engaged in business in this place,
seemed to be the handspring of the concern,
and he paced the street. anxously awaiting the
crowd. Halfpast eight came, the rub-a-dubs
were dried up aud it was deemed advisable to
go ahead with the slim attendance. Mr.. Stay
man made Lewis Glessner chairman of his
meeting, who in accordance with usage, he
must needs make few remarks. As space
will not permit, can give but a brief account

Mn EpIroR-I am sorely grieved to learn

which there is no remedy, and must be sub
mitted to. The disappointment Is great to me,
and fear will be greater to the public | had
been charging myself to the muzzle with all
manner of formidable missiles, and have been
pa nting for All opportunity to hurl them at his
devoted head. When / learned he had been
designated as Elector for the Sth district on
the Squatter ticket, felt exultant and joyful,
reasonably inferring that noU he would no
longer shirk an encounter--that he must at
last show hght--that he could not decline to
defend his hearts idol, the Squatter chief
that the long sought opportunity to meet him
- face to flce AMI eye to eye before our us
sembled and admirng friends had finally ar
rived. But, 10 /! how my bright anticipations
have vanished, how my hopes are blasted, and
my Young ambition nipped i'll the bud by the
cruel announcement that he will devote him
self to larger game hereafter. and will not
heneefeFth even honor me with a squib after
the St 7le OF those with which he has during
the last two years regdled his readers. Cruel.
mercilcss. sanguinary George Frederick! How
could you?
had already in fancy pictured us on the
stump, and heard with delightful emotions
the deafening shouts of applause that arose
from our delighted friends mutually cut
and thrust, gave and took in defence of our
respective crceds and candidates. l have read
accounts which represented the Squatter Giant

An Exciting scene with MIR. Raroy

An Exciting Scene with Hdr. E7arey.
The most exciting scene we ever witnessed
So was what we may fairly call mortal combat
: between man and horse. A powerful and
most beautiful thoroughbred stallion was ill.,
froduced into the arena. The horse looked
round the audience, stood on his hind legs,
plowtd up the ground, and presented the most
vivid picture of wild aud irreclaimable beast
He literally reared in fury. and kicked out OF
pure viciousneSs. He snapped at the specta-
tors. snapped at the groom und Mr. Rarey,
aud actually bit his own flesh severely in his
passion. He tore to pieces every strap which
placed upon him, hurling the groom, who
had come to Mr.. Rarey's assistance gnomini-
nusly the whole length Of the arena.
At one time, the horse broke away from all,
and stood for moment as conscious victor
in the midst of the excited audience. Mr.. Dy-
Ger and Mr.. Farrell both eame to MIR. Rarry s
help, and were utterly unable to hold the ami
NAL. He scattered every man and everything
around him like chaff He was bathed in u
white foam, and sending up rolling clouds of
vapor from his body. At one moment he tos-
sed up the straw wildly. at another he sent the
strong barriers flying in all directions. and for
some time he stood The complete perSonifiea-
ton of dablerie aione in tue arena, roaring
furiously, and t a i lg the barriers with his
teeth. Mr.. .Rarey, having washed his hands
and rested for a few minut ', sga;n .entuied
10 approach him. Then began contest such
as no cue who witness ID it can ever forge'.-
1t was struggle of art and tact against over
whelming strength. Whoever saw that com
bat could never be skep,ical as to the wonder
ful power of Mr.. Rarey.
For fully al hour the battle. for it was
nething else, continued ; now the man had
gained the victory, now The horse; and the
animal, touching the earth, seemed to derive
fresh strength from every fall. AT last Mr..
Rarey extenporized strap from the frag-
ments of the broken bride, and had gained
his first step to conquest. Still, the horse
fought furiousIy, rising III the air. piunging in
all directions, endeavoring to bite bis assailant
or trample him down. It gave one some idea
of the aninating scenes of the Roman amphi-
theater, to see a compact slight, but sinewy
man confronting SO furious and vicious an ami
NAL. A long struggle ensued, but eventually
the horse was fairly beaten out. lay down
painting, and thoroughly subdued.-Lrisl

A HORSE STUNG TO DEATH.-An occur
rerce of very remarkable character took
place at the residence of VIM. Z. Dorsey
Esq, in Urbana District, near Frederick
Maryland, on the 9Th inst. 1t appears that
the Rev. John p. Hall, of the Frederick Cir
cult Of the NJ. f. Church, called at Mr.. Dor
scy's and learning that he was on another
part of. the farm, dsmounted, hitched his
horse to fence, and started on foot to find
Mr.. d. On the inside of the fence, where the
horse was hitched, was stand of bee-hives,
and during Mr.. Halls absence the bees at
tackled the horse furiously. Unfortunately the
head halter was new and too strong, and the
efforts of the tortured animal to disengage
himself were lruitess. At length servant
boy, vailed and goved, was sent with knife
to cut the hitching strap, he found the horses
mouth wide open and filed with bees, which
literally stung him TO DEATH Violent infa-
nation ensued, and the poor beast died of suf-
location during the day The horse WAS val
liable one.

1t is now manifest that the split in the Dem

1t is now manifest that the split in the Dem
ocratic party is thorough and irremediable.-
Efforts have been made in some States, and
are still being made in others. to patch up a
temporary peace, but none of them have as
vet proved successful, and if they do it will
amount to nothing as it would lack the essen
ital element of sincerity and have no force in
uniting The masses, there being an irrepressi-
BILE conflict between the hostile factions. The
Breckenridge leaders Indignantly spurn all pro-
positions of peace from the Dougla3ites, and
they in turn with equal vebemence de-
nounce and repudiate the Breckinridgers, and
arow their fixed determination to have nothing
to do With them. It is on both sides war to
the knife.
The following is an extract from circular
Issued from Washington by the Chairman oi
the Douglas National Executive Committee
1t is clear and explicit, and indicates the only
terms upon which the sessders = can return
to the regular fold:
National Democrats should everywhere
meet the issue thea, by nominating and sup
porting an electoral ticket in their respective
States, pledged, if elected. TO vote for Stephen
A. Douglas fer President, and Herschel Y
johnson for Vice President of the United
States. If the secctlers and their friends
choose to separate permanently from the Dem
ocratic party and run ticket in opposition tc
the regular nominations let them do so. Up
on them be the responsibility of the result"
An article in Forneys Press, of the same
tenor, closes as follows
It ought to crafty the friends of Judge
Douglas to know that be, himself cordially
sustans the policy of having no connection
direct or indirect, with the Disunionists thai
he desires above ali. and most of all, to main
tain the position in which lie has been placed
| by his record ard his nomination. and also
| that he can enter into no coalition with Dis
/ unionists in free States, who insulted and de
graded those gallant men in the Southern
States now fighting for the National Democ
racy, and for the old-fashoned principles o
the Democratic party, against banded oil
garchv, intent alone upon the destruction o.
the Union. No true friend of Douglas ir
Pennsylvania, OF elsewhere, can touch an elec
toral ticket which contains upon it the single
name of Breckinridge Disunionist- Even
one out of the twenty-scven electors would dis
grace a Douglas ticket, precisely as single
drop of subtle poison thrown into goblet o
pure and crystal water might render the whole
ii deathIy portion"

A CAUTION TO Travellers Many persons
in passing from one car to another. while q
train is i'll motion, are accustomed to steady
themselves by grasping the horizontal whee
used for winding up the brake, which project,
above the railing on the platform of the car
The habit has now become an extremely dan
gerous one. Several of the railroads have
commenced using new kind of brake, which
in case of emergency can be set aim ,st in
stantly without the presence of the brakes
man.
Should such an emergency arise at the time
passenger was steadying himself by one o
these wheels, it would revolvc rapidly without
tic least warning, and the person would Lose
his hold and run great risk Of Falling between
the cars. This is felt TO be so real danger
that the latest pattern for the wheels arr
made with Il wire web around the top, thus
rendering it impossible fer the hand COM lete y
to eneirce the rim Of tie wheel. But ever
this onl- slightly obviates the danger. A
careful man will shnn them entirely.

Rev. DR.. Harden, the Wife Poisoner.
The terrible drama in the life of Rev. Jacob
S. Harden, of New Jersey, is closed. On the
9th of July he suffered an ignominious death
on the scaffold. The Trenton American says:
In the case of this young man there is much
to astonish mankind. Young, tolerably well
gifted, with more than an ordinary genial ma
ture-carrying in his exterior a successful re-
ligious zeal, and yet, with all, a most complete
hipocrite he presents to the world an enigma
which battles the most astute physiological stu
dent-leaving all to wonder whether, after all,
he is really man of sound mind. Fer it
seems to be impossible for one born in the
quiet of a mountain neighborhood to have
grown to be so monstrously wicked in so short
a time.
We received intelligence on Saturday even
ing, which is reliable, not only confrmatory Of
the charges made against Harden during the
trial, but revealing an amount of guilt, beyond
these circumstances, almost incredible. Our
informant states that Harden has writ
tien his confession, and that he has communi-
Gated certain portions of it to the jailor and
one or two others,
The administering of the poison to his wife
commenced on his return to Ramseys, and
was given to her while sitting on his knee,
even during the endearments of an apparently
loving wife. He kindly invited her to partake
of an apple on which he had spread arsenic
She unsuspectingly ate it. remarl1ing that it
appeared to have something gritty on it. He
replied that it was nothing"
There are statements, said to have been
made by the prisoner, involving his criminality
with others, who shared his affections, but We
do not think it proper to speak of them until
Harden chooses to make them public himself
His purchase of the arsenic at Easton-hls
using that about the house-are all confirmed
by Harden's own words, What is most
astonishing is the statement that in the pcrpe-
tration of these enormties Harden does not
seem TO have4ad the slightest compunetions.
He did them without once thinking tbat he
was doing anything very dreadful

Late news from Oregon clearly indicates that
another State has lapsed from Democracy and
will hereafter add strength to the Republican
column-leaving California the only free
State at all likely TO be carried by the party,
and even in that State Douglas has no pros
pect of success. By accounts received by the
overland mail it appears that in all probabili-
ty the Republican candidate for Congress in
Oregon is elected by majority ranging from
$50 to 200, while it is absolutely certain that
a Legislature is elected in which the friends
of Lane and Smith are in the minority
and the places of those worthless in TIE
q. S. Senate will be filled by Repub-
lican and anti-Leeompton Democrat. Lincoln
stood good chance to carry the State in
any event, but the split in the party renders
its vote for him certain.
