Columbia democrat and star of the north. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1867, 1866-06-06

The actions Of the Disunionsts go great
distance to expose the weakness of that party
Being terribly frightened that third candi-
date might be nominated for Governor, by
the more conservative portion of the Repub-
hcan ranks, the would be-leaders Of that dis
union party, at once proceeded to concoct a
plan to prevent split or disruption in their
party Fearing that breach, if made in
their party, would be effected by those sol
diers who better know General GEARY, they
have undertaken through Gen. HARTRANFT,
; the man who hung woman, to get up
Soldiers Convention, which has been called
to meet at Pittsburg, in July next. This
dodge, on the part of Stevens, Mcclure,
Forney & Co., is intended to entrap the sol
diers into the support of Gen. GEARY, hon
est soldiers, who, otherwise would have sup
ported HESTER CLYMER
We are pleased to notice, though, that
this scheme is not working as well as
was anticipated by the movers In several
counties, where the soldiers met for the pur-
pose of selecting Delegates to the Pittsburg
Convention, there seemed to be quite divi-
sion on the candidates for Governor when
they came to frame and adopt resolutions
expressive of the sense of the soldiers in at
tendance. In some instances majority of
the ''boys In blue declared in favor of the
Democratic candidate, Mr. CLYMER. The
Geary leaders did not trust to call conven-
tion of soldiers in this county, for fear they
would have met the same opposition, but
concluded to send a couple of Delegates to
Pittsburg, who win not truly represent the
sentiment of the soldiers of this county, be-
cause the Delegates are of the Abolition
Geary stripe, and the ''boys in blue" of this
county, support the candidate who believes
and maintains that our white soldiers were
not surpassed in any manner as soldiers on
the field of battle or in any particular arm
Of the service.
DEATH OF LIEUT.. GEN WINFIELD SCOTT
This brave soldier, ardent patriot, and
honest man, died at his residence, at West
Point, on the 29th ult., in the SOth year of
his age.
Of the officers who entered the army in
1908, Cen Scott was, two yearsago, the only
survivor He was born in Petersburg, Va,
ON the 18th of june, 1856, and was educated
at William and Mary's Collegeint that State.
He died full of years and honors, and we
have not the room to give, In detail, the
course In which he rose from the rank of
Captain to that of Commander Of Armies.
In short, we may say, that the means by
which he became SO great, and waspromoted
above others, were these: as citizen he
WIS faithful, patriotic, and unambitious; as
soldier daring and enterprising, prompt and
industrious He contributed several valua-
bic books to the military literature of the
country, and at different periods wrote, with
considerable ability, upon various topics
His long life, however, was mainly spent In
the service Of his country, and his fame and
deeds are now part Of the imperishable his
tory Of the nation.

A gentleman of this city recently employ

gro made disappearance, sent one of his aids

DEATH FROM Worms IN THE BRAIN
Lately lady named Clara Hollands, aged
seventeen years, died suddenly at Brighton,
England. A post mortein examination was
made by DR.. Sewell, who showed that there
was considerable effusioni in the right ven
tricle of the brain, in which he discovered a
large hydatid cist This he found to consist
OF the ova or eggs ofsoms parasitic insect.
Ihe disease was or rare occurrence, but when
1t had occurred, recorded cases showed that
death had been sudden. The insects were
usually conveyed into the system with food,
and after depositing their eggs they left the
system: In course oftime theeggs are hatch
ed, and death ensues fit has not taken place
before. The disease was often communicated
to the system by eating ''ineasly" pork, un-
derdone meat, or water-c,esses and Mr.. Sc
well said that it was a very popular error to
suppose that underdone meat was the best
for food. Should the meat be infected, heat
was the only thing that would kill the In
sects, and there was therefore no danger in
well-eooked meat. The jury rendered a YER
dict in accordance with the decision of Mr..
Sewell.
