TROUBLE AHEAD.-Quite.a number
of the honest and peaceable citizens of
Fox township, were at the last call for
100000 men, drafted, and the greater
portion of them notified to that effect
a few baving taken "french leave" be-
fore receiving the notice.
Arrangements were made by the citi-
zens to have the full amount Of men fur
nished to clear the township. But by
some mistake or new arrangement, the
men were not put into the ser vice, and
consequently those drafted are now held
to personal service, not giving them the
right to furnish Substitute.
We have no legal right to express our
opinion with regard to the matter, but
can nothelp saying that in the first place.
something must be "rotten in denmark." 1"
And in the second place, we hope our
friends in Fox, may meet with better
success than they anticipate, from th e
fact that they should be treated as ot,,
ers have been.
We would most certainly ca orr
part, advise one and all, to ccme nromnt.
ly and report, and save the trouble and
expense of arrest. \. portion of the
Board seem to thi,ak that, under the
elrcumstances-tne order SO far as re-
CARDS Fox township, by proper exertion
on their part, may be revoked, and give
10 those who wish to do so, the chance
OF getting substitute.

BS@ Since the oil fever seems to be the
prevailing epidemic, it would be well
for our property holders, to look closely
to what kind of contracts they make
with strangers, as many engaged in
purchasing leases or wrights to Operate
upon, are without capital. We copy'the
following sensible article from the
McRedn Miner, which should be sufi.
cent to put each and every person on
their guard.
"LooK OUT FOR THEM-Our town
has had many visitors of late who arc
leasing up all the bottom lands in this
vicinity for oil speculations. Many of
these people are sharpers who have
neither money nor influence. They get
long leases, at trifing cost, hoping that
before their leases expire, oil will be
found in this locality and they will be
able to sell out alta big fgure.-We would
advise our people to lease to nostrangers,
nor even to acquaintances, without
them, in the lease, to COM
mence operations within 80 days, which
is time enough for bona fide operators
to get on their machinery aud 90 to
work. IF oil should be discovered in
these valleys, which is not atall llimprob-
able, many of our people will regret
having given leases which never com.
oels the lessee to commence operations"

We have been informed that "shin

last evening Friday 3Oth) in memory
OF the memorable year, which is about
passing away, and of the bright and

intimate, that any thing was lacking, to

Such is the highly important news
furnished the public by the Harrisburg
Telegraph of Friday last, and such is,
the sensation style in which it is furnish
ed. The Telegraph then proceeds to
give the startling details in the following
language:
From information received by Major
Dodge, A. p. NJ. G., we learn that the
troops dispatched from this post in quest
of bounty Jumpers and deserters in
Clear6eld county, came il collision with
a party of these desperadoes, and after
desperate fight succeeded in killing
their leader, the notorious Tom Adams,
and capturing nineteen of the cut
threats who fought by his side.
1t appears from the information re.
ceived here, that Capt. Southworth, Co.
@, 10th Regiment Veterrn Reserves, on
Monday evening was proceeding on the
road to Osceola, and, when near Phil
lipsburg, ascertained that a large party
of deseItcrs were concealed in a house

FOUND DEAD.-On Saturday night
the Oath inst, the dead body of man
named Peter M'Quirk, was found lJing
on the tract of the r. r., about one
mile east of Rathbun's station, the back
part of his head was torn away, the
scalp was found lying on .he tract, about
30 feet from the body. The gravel train
brought the body to ST. Mary's, same
night. On Sunday, Justice VOllmer held
an inquest over the remains, the jury
found, death from the effect of blow
or fall, which tore away the back part of
the head, cause unknown.

This, then, is the sum and substance

A letter from Philipsburg, dated the
18th, and published in the 7e1egraph
of the 10th, gives more truthfulrac-
count of this sad affair. EBut the. writer
spoils his story by closing his letter as
follows: "Major Gabel, (tlc officer in

Who Major Gabcl is we, know, not.

merS, then some twenty seven hundred
Democrats of Clearfeld county must pre-
pare themselves for seizure and arrest.

same Philipsburg libeller, who is doubt.
less some miserable creature subsisting
upon public or private charity-have
time and again charged every man of
US as being "disloyal," and as "fomen.

our political opponents shall constitute
themselves judges of their neighbors'
"loyalty," and Major Gabel shall at
tempt TO execute their mandate, why,
all we have to say now is, that that

at hand than we had anticipated.

From the Erie Weekly Dispatch,

FATAL AoCIDENT.-Au accident
occurred at the Lake Shor1 R, K. Depot
about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
which resulted in the instant death of
George s. Whitehall; ESQ, of this city.
The accident happened while the engine
OF the Cleveland and Erie branch was
backing up towards the Western engine
louse, after having been disengaged
, from the train just arrived from the
west Mr.. Whitehall, who is very deaf, /,
came upon the track at its junction with
sassafras St, and stepped before the en-
gine at distance of not more than ten
feet from it. The engine was Instantly
reversed, but it was impossible to check
it in time to save him. He was pushed
along in the rear ofthe engine for several
feet, when he fell upon the track and
was rolled and crushed into an almost
indistinguishable mass, the wheels finally
passing over his arms and legs and sepa-
rating them from his body.
Mr. Whitehall was about so years of
age, and had been employed at the Wes-
tern Freight Office for the last two years
as a book.keeper. He was q strong,
vigorous man, with no infrmity save an
almost total deafness, which had afflicted
him for many years, and has at last
caused his death. He was held in the
highest estimation by the Company, for
the neatness, accuracy and facility with
which he performed his duties. He was
well known throughout the city, and
his singularly genial and social nature
had won tor him hosts of friends. The
death of no man in his sphere of life
could have been more deeply regretted.
Mr. Whitehall having no family,
resided with Mr.. Charles Shirk, whose
wife was his sister. The remains were
conveyed to the residence on Ninth
Street, at which place the funeral Ser
vices will be held at 10 o'clock to.mor-
row mornino

The Humanity Of England!

The humanity" of England is bean
tifully illustrated in her recent treat
ment Of Japan. An Englishman was
murdered for refusing to yield the road
to the Prince. The British Govern
ment demanded satisfaction, which
was given in the form of an apol.
ogy from the Tycoon and the pay
,nent of half million of dollars. But
this was not sufficient it was insisted
that the murderers should be punished
The Tycoon, through his minister re.
piled. admitting the enormity of the Of.
fence, stating that all efforts to arrest
the gniliy parties had been vain, and
asking for delay. This however did
not satisfy the English; and the day af-
ter the interview. Admiral Roper open
ed fire Oh Kagasima city of $50, 900
inhabitants. The buildings" says
the writer, "being chiefly of combus-
tible materials. were quickly in flames
The vast population. men, women and
children, had of course no opportunity
to save their property or even their
lives. For two days the fire was rag
ing. the city was laid in ashes, and no
one can tell what suffering was infic-
ted upon the innocent inhabitants by
the sudden bombardment and confa-
grafton"

by Sareet smiles and persuasive arords will
contend that the State (or rather the
tax payers of the State) can afford to
pay more than scventy-five dollars
per month for Sanitary Agents when
tho services of good reliable and eff
cient agents can be engaged for that
sum or for less.
Mr.. Editor, l am of the opinion that
intelligent and humane gentlemen can
be found in this State who would
gladly devote themselves TO this glo.
rious work for salary less than the
one named above and in my mind
there is no question but there are ma
ny gentlemen too who could accomp-
lish as much good if not more than
Mrs. Wittenmyer has done or can do.
1t is to be hoped if the General AS
sembly adjourns without passing some
act of limitation to the act under
which the Sanitary Agents have been
employed, that Governor Stone will not
pay any such enormous salaries as
have been paid, to any Agent much
less to any female Agent.
Much praise is due to those Agents
who have, through the patriotism and
generosity of the people of the State,
ministered to the many wants of our
soldiers in the field But the need of
praise we would bestow upon him
who has devoted himself to the glori-
Gus work, acithout pay or reward, (and
there are SUCH is high and more en-
viable than that which We would be.
stow upon those who have asked fol
and received their one hundred dol
lars per month. NINToN.

Copperhead Oratory.

During the recent campaign in New
Hampshire copperhead orator, j. d.
Murphy by name, made the following
statement as regards the purposes of
his party:
The Democrats have submitted to
the despotic sway of Abe Lincoln for
three years, thinking it better to en-.
dure wrong for short time than to
risk all by last appeal to arms. But
now the time is coming when we can
change our rulers. Rather than sub
init four years longer to Abe Lincoln,
and be overrun by the hordes of his
soldiery, let us ring out the
cry of old, "To your tents, o, Israel ="
Democrats should arm and organize
into drill clubs, companies, battalions,
regiments and brigadcs, for these
blood thirsty Abolitionists and shod-
dyite thieves and traitoes are a wind
broken, spawned, despotic race, and
one regiment Of Democrats could
whip three of them. Our armies have
accomplished nothing the army of
the Potomac is grand picnic excur-
sion. eating up the substance of the
nation, and coming home to vote down
the liberties Of the people, and render
our elections farce and mockcry to
the world,

Removal of the Capital,

We notice that Representative Vim
ton, of Chickasaw county, introduced,
on the 18th inst, Resolution propos-
ing an amendment TO the Constitution
of the State, which strikes out of ii
that which relates to the permanent
establishment Of the Seat of Govern
ment at Des Moincs, leaving it for the
General Assembly at any time after
1867 to permanently establish the Cap
ltal wherever it may determine.
Representative Hildreth moved to
refer the resolution to Committee on
Constitutional amendments. Mr.. Bay.
lies. OF Polk county. moved to lay the
Resolution OH the table. This motion
was lost by SO nays to 30 yeas. The
motion to refer it to the proper com.
mittee recurring, it was carried by a
large majority. If these votes may
be considered tests, and we cannot
see why they may not, the righteous
and seli-denying people of Des Moines
must he in trouble.
