JUDGE SHEPLEY's FAMILY NAME.-The
family was early settled in Groton; we find 1t
there as early rs 100. in which year a son OF
John and l., dia Sheple. as the name was writ
ten all through that century. was born. From
that ancestor, Judge Shepley is of the sixth
degree. His father was an only son of John
and Abigail tGreen) Sheple; he was an order
ly sergeant and clerk OF a company in the
Revolution; he held several town offices in
Groton, was farmer, fond Of reading, and a
man Of general information.
This branch restored the original orthogra-
ply OF the name: they found on examination
Of English registers and documents, that the
name was early, aud almost invariably, spelled
with a final y, as it was pronounced. As early
As 1916, a record appears, in which sJohn de
SAepley' signed certificate as Lord of the
township OF Shepley in the county of York,
Being satisfied that such was the correct mode
of writing the name, it was then adopted, and
has ever since been retained. The christian
name, Ether, was adopted from Joshua xix. Z,
the designation of one of the villages of the
Canaanites Ia the south of Judah, allotted TO
Simeon. The word 10 Hebrew means stone.

ANEcDoTE OF TBIsTRAM BURGESS
Oliver III. Smith of Indiana, in one OF his Rem
iniscences, published in the indianapolis
Journal, tells the following story.
During the debate In Congress on the tariff,
in 1928, an amendment was offered to increase
the duty on molasses ten cents per gallon,
being an increase of ten per cent ad valorem.
Its object was TO choke OFF the northern
members, and indirectly TO kill the bill The
moment the amendment was announced by the
chairman, In committee of the whole, Mr. Bur-
CESS, of r. l., arose and implored the mover to
withdraw it. He showed its efiec upon the
trade between the Eastern States and the
adjacent islands in timber and the return
cargoes Of molasses, which was the daily food
of the poor. His speech was short and to the
point. As he took his seat, Henry Daniels of
Kentucky sprang To his feet and reared out at
the top OF his voice: "Mr. Speaker, let the con-
stitnents of the gentleman from Rhode Island
sop their bread only on one side in molasses
and they will pay the same duties they do now"
Mr. Bartlett of New Hampshire remarked
to me: Now look out for Tristram; Harry
will catch it, Mr.. Burgess arose with fire
bea,ning from his countenauce and addressed
the chair" The relief proposed by the gentle
man from Kentucky is but adding insult to
injury. Does not the gentleman know that
established habit becomes second nature and
that all laws are cruel and oppressive that
strike at the innocent habits Of the people?
To illustrate, what would the gentleman
think of me i'll should offer an amendment
that neither himself nor his constituents shall
hereafter have more than pint Of whskey Tor
breakfast instead of a-.quart? Does he not
know that the disposition Of all animals par
takes in a greater or less degree, of the food
on which they are fed? The horse is noble,
kind and CRATE nj; he is fed on grain and grass
The bear docking at Daniel, who was
heavy, short man. dressed in blue coat with
q velvet collar1 will eat hog and raw hominy
You may domesticate him, dress him in a
blue coat with velvet collar, and teach him
to stand erect, and to initiate the human
voice. as some showmen have DONE but exam
inc him closely, sir. tlookng at Daniel some
seconds) and you will discover he is the bear
still. The gentleman told us in speech some
days ago, that his district produced large num-
bers ofjackasses, hogs aud mules. No strong
er proof Of the truth of his statement can be
giyer than to l-ok at its representative. ask
the gentleman 10 keep this extra duty off of
molasses, and commence its use among his
constituents. and as feeble as our hold upon
life is, Mr.. Chairman, a man may yet. before
we die, be permitted TO go TO his grave with
two eyes In his head in the gentleman's dis
trictr Daniel wilted under the sarcasm, and
few members afterwards felt disposed to arouse
the eminent son of Rhode Island.

Is Curtin to be Withdrawn !

There is a rumor in circulation that Gov
CUsTTK will be forced to Withdraw from the
political track, and "a new mani put before
the Abolitionisis as candidate for Cover
| nor. We hope not. We hope 10 see Gov
CuRrn remain before the pie, for We de-
sire TO record the verdict they will render
against him on The second Tuesday OF Ocio-
Der. He received majority of the votes oi
the memebers of the laie Abolition State
Convention at Pittsburg, and is therefore he
candidate of his helI-born party, and We
enter our protest against the effort that is
making to force him to decline The n0mi>
nation. True il is, many of the most dis
tingrished men of his own party have de-
nounced him as "plunderer," s'specu-
later, ga robber OF the soldiers, /" ''shoddy
contractor" whose agents, with his knowl-
edge and with his consent, clothed our SOL
diers in 'sshoddy vestments,o and furnished
them shoes "whose soles were stuffed with
shavings, and blankets as thin and trans
parent as window pane" All, this war
has been rich harvest for CURTIN and the
Infamous scoundrels associated with him
in schemes Of robbery and speculation.
They have been well paid for their mock
patriotism, and can now take their places
in the new class of society so prevalent at
all fashionable watering places, known as
"the shoddy aris,ocracy.n
We repeat, then, we would be cory 70
see CORTIS forced from the political track,
nol because we believe the result of the
election would be changed, but because we
desire 10 see the people pass judgement
upon his public acts. We want especially
10 see the verdict of the people of this Com
monwealth who were robbed of tens of
thousands of dollars by the hordes of JEFF
DAVIS, who were invited by coward Aboli-
tionists TO make the invasion. CURTIs and
bis party had been, for weeks previous to
the invasion, engaged in publishing to the
world the develish lie that majority of the
rebels, and would receive Them with open
arms" as soon as they entered upon Penn
sylyania soil. The Rebels took the Aboli-
tionists at their word, aud did enter our
State, and rob our people of their substance.
Had CuRrk wanted, be could, with all
ease, have prevented the rebels gaining
foothod 10 Pennsylvania. He had ample
waning for their approach; but instead of
going 20 to prevent their ingress, he oc-
cupied some six or eight days pleding with
the Washington corruptionisis to permit him
TO use the power of the State against
the devastating foe. Had we man instead
of an imbecie in the Governor 8 chair, no
rebel would have dared to enter our valley
and rob our people.
Let CURTIE remain on the track, then
do, Messrs. Republican Blacksnakss oblige
us-so that that the people may have
an opportunity TO put him on his trial and
render their verdict. That verdict will be,
