negro suffrage journals in Pennsylvania,
speaking of the nomination of Hon: Hester
Clymer by the Democratic Convention, pays
him the following compliment:

been settled in this Commonwealth and

spicuous parts in public affairs. One of
them was a signer of the Declaration of In
| dependence, and under the articles of Con-
federation served as a member of Congress.
He is possessed of wealth and enjoys
high social position. An active business
man, he has participated wisely and literally
in many enterprises for the development and
prosperity of that portion of the State In
which he resides Though leading man in
| his party his abilities are not extraordinary.
! He has, however, pleasing presence and
address and reputation that does not con-
meet him with unclean legislation.

Dan. RICE's ELEPHANT ON A ''TEAR. -
Our readers will remember the elephant
Romeo" with Dan Hce;s show, which
was in this city week ago. This animal
for some time has been showing indications
of spirit of insubordinatidn. He showed
a bad disposition ON the ro$d between Car
bondale and Mt. Pleasant, refusing to turn
out for teams, &c. Arriving at New Milford,
and still being unruly, Rice concluded to
subdue him, and for this purpose they chain
ed his hind legs to tree, and endeavored to
fasten a rope to his fore leg, and by thismeans
throw him. After many fruitless attempts,
the effort was successful. The rope was at
tached 10 tackle, ana sixteen men cOmDlneQ
their strength to pull him down. He fooled
them. With blow of histrunk he released
his fore leg, and by a tremendous effort
broke the chains. The men scattered in all
directions pursued by the. animal. One of
them saved his life by bounding over fence,
and the elephant, for satisfaction, threw
down long span of it.
At IL O'Clock they had managed to throw
him, and with clubs and spikes were endeav-
oring to subdue HING Some fifty shots were
fred and took effect<in his trunk and other
portions of his body but they were only flea
bites, and were but skin deep.-ScrontoT
Herald, June % "a
Let it be noted that all the acts of the
President most Loudly complained of by the
politicians, are in the direction of leaving
power in the hands of the people, where i
rightfully belongs. The President says ''yol
must trust the people; = the Radicals sa!
you must not.
