FALL OF A METEoR.-A large meteor was
seen TO fall near the shore of Park er's
Pond, on the night Of the 9th ult. On
visiting she spot the next morning mass
wasfo und of gelatinous, light colored
semi-!ransparent substance, described by
some parties to be as large as hogshesd.
A gentleman who visited the spot three
days afterwards, after large quantity had
bsea carried away, and much more
trampled into the earth, and dissolved,
and evaporated, says that he could at
that time have gathered two bushels OF
the debris. a specimen from the mass
was presented to the Natural History So
oiety al its regular meeting last evening.
Although tightly corked in a bottle, It
had diminished considerably in bulk, and
was partially dissolved. 1t was of light
straw color, and had strong odor of
sulphuretted hydrogen, with a sulphur
Gus taste. A chemical analysis will be
made by Professor Bush, which, with
more information in regard to the ap-
pearance of the meteor when first discoy
cred, will probable be obtained and pre-
sented at the next mesting. - Worcester

Fraudulent Votes.

In accounting for their overwhelming
defeat in this county at the late election,
the Jacobn organ charges it to the 'des-
perate" and "unscrupulous" efforts Of
Democrats, and among other "unwarraht-
able acts" the polling Of several "fraudu-
lent votes"
Among these "unscrupulous" efforts of
the aforesaid leaders" we are informed
shat "Mr. Lincoln was charged with
usurping powers not guaranteed by the
Constitution; with the commission of
acts of tyranny; with restricting the free
dom Of speech and of The press with at
tempting to interfere with free express
sion OF the people at the ballot-box," de-.
erery ,cord Of whieh is true. and our reigh-
Dor has not the hardihood to deny o
single one of them. 1t is easy for him to
designate such charges as ''unscrupulous,"
but it is not SO easy to deny their truth,
and our neighbor very prudently makes
no attempt at denial. Mr.. Lincoln has
been guilty of one CT the other and PER
haps all--of these high crimes once a
month for the last three years.
But as to the fraudulent votes, we are
told that "three drovers who were passing 6
along with their droves, were stopped ard
taken to the polls and voted for .McClel-
Ian" in Boggs township. We are iguo'
rant Of the facts in this case but we
know that the democrats Of Boggs town
ship are as law-abiding and intelligent as
their traducers, and hat-they would take
no advantage that they did not deem the
law clearly allowed them. Besides this,
It is not hard to conceive how "drover,' u
finding himself in Boggs township on the
day of election, "in pursuit of his lawful
calling" might have perfect right TO
vote there. But whether this is case OF
rthat character or not, We do not claim.
The next case is that of "sewing-ma
machine man" who voted in this boro'.
In this case we know that the gentleman's
right to vote was just as perfect as that OF
his challenger. He made this fact clearly
appear at the time he offered his vote,
snd the reference made to by our neigh.
Dor was contemplate in the highest
degree.
In Lawrence township, Several votes o.
q doubtful character were taken without
word" We know not to whom allusor
is here made, unless it be to certain
ofTice-holder in Washington city, who's,

SOLDIERS Proxies OPENED AND TICKETS
CHANGED -RsAD THE STATEMENT. BRLov
Prior to the October election, William C.
Long, of Hempfeld township, member
Of Company L, 63d Pennsylvania volun-
teers, cent proxy from the Summit
House hospital, PhiPa, TO his brother-in-aw
Henry Bender, covering Democratic
ticket to be voted at that election. Upon
the envelope being opened, it contained
an Abolition ticket, the other having bean
abstractcd. Some days ago Mr.. Long
again sent his proxy TO Mr.. Bender with a
Mcclellan Electoral ticket on Friday Mr..
Long returned home, and lifted his proxy,
and upon opening it there was found the
Abolition ticket.

not for Mcclellan.

"In Graham township they received the
vote Of man who was known to have
oome from the State of New York within
month or two" Wonderful, Why,
Lincoln received the votes Of several men
in this borough who had only arrived the
day before from other States, and of one
who arrived that very day direct from
the Union League Room in Philadelphia.
''In Graham township many of the
McCleilanites went TO the polls with their
guns upon their shoulders" Terrible
Wonder if the guns voted? Our neigh.
Dor ought to inquire. 1t is certain al
least that the Grahamites meant to voie-
threats Of arresiing drafted men on that
day to the contrary Notwithstanding.
In Knox township-ah, that terrible
Knox township-we are told that "threals
had been made to drive the Union men
away if they came to vote" And is this
the way you account for the falling off in
Knox But how about Pike? Your
vote fell off there, right in your strong
hold. Were similar threats made there ?
These, then, are the "devices" made by
the democracy to increase their vote in
the county. But how about 'lother side ?
Was everything fair and square on the
part OF those who thus accuse the De-
nocracy of polling fraudulent votes 2 We
shall give but two instances, both ofwhich
can, and we hope will, be substantiated
in our Court Of Justice The assessor of
o Republican district refused TO assess
fosr Democrats, who made proper and
timely application, and who thus lost
their votes.
In Brady township two men voted for
Lincoln in the morning, aud in the after
noon the same two men again voted for
Lincoln in Winslow township, in Jofier
son county.
Ill our neighbor has any other com.
plants to make about fraudulent vo,;,,
we hope he will bring them forward
But your appeal" TO the "sound ipd,.
men" Of Democrats is out Of place and
out of time. Soft solder may do in some
cases; but afkr you have characterized
the Democrats Of Clearfeld county as a
party in league with traitors" as sym
pathizers with treason" and besought the
ianatical and misguided "powers that
reign" TO send q military force among
them 10 slaughter them and eat out their
substance, such honeyed phrases are very
unbecoming, to say the least Of them.

not That Mr. Liaco!n and his friends

THE OBSTACLES TO PEACE.

e''n fall TO r.ving like madmen. Yet
when Mr.. Lincoln offers peace if only
one tenth Of the southern people, will
adopt his plan, they fall to raving be-
aaasc democrats can't approve and ap.
i'aud the plan. He promises to con-
rsle them every thing if they will on
" abandon slavery. He would surren-
der 70 them Atlanta and New Orleans.
and abandon the attempt to capture
Richmond and Charleston, if they will
,hrow up their hats in honor Of his
plan.

10 every proclamation he has made to

THE EcLlNE IN GOLD.

lie Teput press or the country
professes to see iu the recent rapid de-
cline Of gold. no cause but confidence
in The recent federal victories to svensu-
ally bring pesce to the Country. That
this is IL lacy We nave the positive eyi-
dence that upon the surrender Of At
lansa, and the successful termination Of
the ms: boldly planned, and brill
isntlv executed campaign Of the war,
instead of decline, there was an ad
vance in the market price Of gold.
These same republican papers tell
Us sneeringly that the "mcney kings"
Of the United States arc striving for
the election Of Mcclellan and Pendle-
ton; for proof Of which we cite our
leaders tosevery sheet supporting the
reelection of Mr.. Lincoln. 1t is also
known, or should he, that these money
Cd men control the prices Of geld in
Wall Street, aud Wall Street controls
the money markets Of the country.
From these facts, conclusive and ire
s.srshls ia themselves We draw the
conclusion that the contt ence IF the
monsyed men Of the CO unty,In the de-
feat of Mr. Lincoln is one cause Of the
great decline in the precious metals,
or in other words Of the rise in the
value Of gre enbacks. With Mcclellan
elected they see in the future, the res
to ration of the union under the con-
.titu,ion; with Mr. Lincoln reelected
they see only the secut!on Of the
war to anihilate the labor system Of
the South, and consequently great
augmentation Of the public debt of the
country, swelled already to the enor-
nous sum Of $46oo,oo0 900.
| Another AMI potent cause for the
rapid de ciinein goll is that the
act Of July II. 1861. placed the notes
to be issued in accordance with its
provisions upon the same basis as the
Treasury notes issued under act Of
December %. 1857, which makes all
the seven-,hir:les payable in three
years, and amounting 10 some $3.50,
100000 receivable for all government
dues including customs upon foreign
importations. The discovery Of this
fact by Mr.. Chase is alleged to have
been the cause of his excrtions to have
them exchanged FIR 6 per cent bonds
These notes are now chiefly held by
capitalists in n. Y. and are being u.s.
ed for the payment of duties upoa i'm
ports thereby relieving the gold mar
Ike. Of its apparent scarcity. But
| this relief can be but temporary, for
the interest upon the public debt is
payable in gold, and if the customs
are received in treasury notes, the gov
eminent must soon 60 into the market
to buy gold with which to pay the in
terest Cd the public debt.
To refuse to receive these notes 10
/ payment for all government dues would
virtually be reputation in part, be-
cause for that purpose they take the
place Of gold, and are to their holders
the equivalent of gold, and for the time
being enable them to sell to importers
SO as to control the gold market. Not
to repuaiate them for this purpose will
compel tho government to 90 into the
M rket to buy gold to pay the inter-
est upon the public debt or to repudi-
ate it; 80 in any event the relief can he
but temporary without a change If ad-
) ministration and in the policy and pur-
poses Of the war. .,s -....
