q. Buoher Swoopo, Esq.

We clip the following complimentary no
tice of our townsman II. Bucher Swoope,
Esq, from the Harrisburg Telegraph of
Tuesday. The speech was made at the last
grand rally, in the Court House at Harris
burg, to an immense audience, presided over
by Gen. Simon Cameron.
"H Bucher Swoope, ESD, of Clearfield
county, was next introduced Mr.. Swoope
is one of the most popular public speakers
known on the stump in the western and
northeastern part of the State His speech,
last evening, took his audience by surprise,
as being one OF those spirited, sarcastic, and
argumentative efforts which lead a crowd
and carry conviction to the hearts cf all who
heard it. He showed that the attitude of
the Democratic party, during the late con-
test In this State, was as weak and as
fraudulent, and as disgraccful to truth,
as was that of the traitors during the rebel
lion. He proved that Hester Clymer oc-
cupied a position in the sight of all the
candid men of Pennsylvania, similar to that
occupied by jeff Davis in the sight of the
world-a position claiming falsely to repre-
sent principle. when, in reality, it sought
merely to vindicate dogma tha, evil and
ambitious men might succeed to ruin and
disgrace the country. Without attempting
to sketch Mr.. Swoope's speech, we cannot
refrain from pronouncing his effort one of
the very ablest made in this city during the
campaign for Governor of Pennsylvania

Major General u. 5. A.
Horrible Ira gedy.

Mrs Caroline Simms, the wife of Robert
L. Slmms, a farm laborer residing in Medi-
na. Illinois, has been for some time past,
subject to temporary fits Of despondency,
which would occasionally assume the form
of ferocious insanity. But little importance
was attached to these demonstrations by her
husband and acquaintauces, who attributed
her peculiar actions to the fact of her being
In Il weak state of health. She has been
possessed Of an exciteable and rather fiery
temper, but has almost invariably displayed
a reasonable degree of affection for her hus-
band and children. On the morning of Oct.
Sd, after her husband had gone TO the sta
BILE to attend to his morning chores, she,
with the cunning of insanity, which had
long been gathering, and only awaited IA
vorable opportunity to burst with terrible
fury, took from the drawer her husband S
razor, approached her own bed, wherein her
youngest child was sleeping, and cut the
throat of the little innocent from ear to ear.
In a trundle bed were sleeping the three
other children, aged, respectively, four. sew
en- and nine years With cat-like tread she
approached the sleeping children, AMI re-
peated the same bloody deed upon the
youngest and next youngest, killing them
almost instantly. The oldest, boy, lay
next the wall, and with his back toward the
les of the first two, and attempted to draw
the razor across the throat of the oldest boy,
but. owing TO his position, or some cause
unknown, she only succeeded in inficting
severe. but not fatal cash. Thinking how
ever, her bloody task accomplished, she
drew the reeking weapon across the front of
her own throat, and sunk to the floor on the
spot. The oldest boy, who had only been
partially stunned, upon recovering, by his
cries OF fright and terror brought the father
and some of the neighbors to the house. and
Fastening to the room from whence the
cries proceeded, the horrible scenes met
their gaze. The three younger children
were entirely dead, and in about ten min
utes the mother breathed her last. The
affair has created an intense excitement
throughout the county, and the opinion
seems generally to prevail that the woman
was hopelessly insane. The Coroner was
summoned, and this forenoon held an in
quest upon the bodies, the result of which
is not yet known

PENNSYLVANIA ITEMS.

ALLEGHENY CoUNTY-A very painful
calamity occurred last Thursday evening,
whereby Mrs Catharine Douglas, wife of
Mr.. VIM. Douglas, of Jefferson township,
came to an untimely death. Mrs Douglas
was filling with oil, lamp, IN which the
light had been left burning. Somehow, the
stream poured from The can, or the gas that
was thrown off from it, became ignlted, and
terrible explosion instantly followed. The
can was torn TO fragments, the metallc part
of the lamp was melted in moment, and
the spreading flames communicating to the
unfortunate lady's garments, soon wrapped
her in blaze Before assistance arrived
nearly all her clothing was consumed, and
her flesh horribly burned. In this shock
ing state of agony, she fingered till the fol
| lowing afternoon, when death finally came
to her relief A little girl, daughter
of VIM Murphy, of North Strabane, met
with a most terrible death few days since.
The child S mother was boiling soap in a
large kettle, which was taken from the fire
and set on the floor The child was playing
about and fell backwards into the boiling
soap. The entire surface of the child s
body was literally cooked before it could be
| taken out.
YORK CoUNTY-A horse and buggy
wagon, the property of Mr.. John Murphy,
| TtsStulUH
| Tavern, in Chancetord township, this couu-
| ty, was found, on Sunday morning, Sept.
30th, hitched at tt stable of Messrs. Hep
penstall and Gohn, at the Canal basin, in
| Wrightsville. The thieves, of which there
were two, drove up the towing path of the
| canal, arriving here about one o clock that
morning, and were seen by boatman, but
| becoming alarmed, abandoned their booty
and made their escape. The theft was COM
mitted some time during Saturday night,
and on Sunday morning Mr.. Murphy re-
covered his property. The jail birds are
still at large.
LANCASTER CoUNTY.-The barn of Da-
vid E. Potts, near Winners Bridge, was

Bogus Tickets.

We are reliably informed that Republican
tickets, with the name of the Democratic
candidate for Congress, were put in circula-
ton in some parts of this county, and we
have heard of one instance in which the eff
fort was made to thus impose on Republi-
can voter, but the person attempting it was
discovered and promptly exposed 1t is to
such base and disreputable means that the
leaders of the once great Democratic party
have been resorting in the vain hope of ma
king few votes. o, shame, where is thy
blush?

Mexico.

1t appears to be settled point that Max
imilhah's career as Emperor of Mexico is
about closed. The Liberals are pressing up
on him closer and closer, and with steadily
augmenting forces. The question now is
what next?
The political experience of Mexico for a
period Of over thirty years affords but little
foundation for hope that it will now settle
down III peace under well-ordered govern
ment The elements essential TO such a
condition seem to be wanting Rival chief
tains, with their factions, composed of ig-
norant and unrehecting followers, have kept
the country in perpetual turmoil, by refus-
ing, as did our rebels, to submit to the deci-
sions of the ballot Political parties there
are warring factions; and hence neither prin-
ciples norauthority ca be regulated and set
tied by the voice of majorities
Santa Anna is figuring to get in once
more; but in the maze of conflicting rumors
it is impossible te tell whether he has any
prospect Of success. The Fenians, too, are
being mixed up in the confused imbroglio ;
but we have no idea that they are destined
to play any important part in it.
The fact is, tie missionary and the school
master, in their quiet way, viii have to do
the work, so far as the Mexican people are
concerned, and a constant stream OF immi-
grafton, which will be sure TO follow these
powerful agents of civilization, will furnish
the fresh blood required for the social and
political recuperation of those sick people.
The Bible in the hands of the people will do
more for them than all the constitutions
that ever were penned.

CLEARFIELD, PA. OCTOBER 10, 1866.
The Result in Clearfeld County.


We give elsewhere returns from all the
Districts except three, from which it ap-
pears that the Democratic majority in this
county viii probably be l,l50.
This result is not as favorable to the De-
mocracy as the leaders of that party anticl-
pated In their calculations they generally
claimed 800 of majority, and the unex-
ampled efforts and vie or which they threw
making such an estimate That they are
disappointed in the result they plainly show
by their conduct since the election, and they
have the poor consolation Of knowing that
with all their persistent falsehoods and mis-
representations about the proposed Consti-
tutional Amendments, negro suffrage"
and negro equality they utterly failed in
their attempts to deceive and mislead the
intelligent freemen who stood by and sus-
tanned the Government when these men
were sympathizing with and encouraging the
Rebels in their efforts to destroy it.
Too much credit cannot be given to the Re-
publicans of Clearfeid county for the noble
stand they have made in this campaign, and
an analysis of the figures exhibits some
highly encouraging facts. Comparing the
present with the Lincoln and Mcclellan
vote of 1864, which was the largest ever
cast in the county, We find that in Beccaria,
Boggs, Bradford, Clearield, Goshen, Gra-
ham, Jordan, Knox, Morris, Curwensvile
Pike, Brady aud Bloom, we have made
gains amounting to 2l0, whilst in Chest,
Guelich, Karthaus, Lawrence, Woodward
and Union the Democrats increase their
vote 10, giving the Republicans net gain
of 137 In the balance of the Districts, this
may be changed one way or the other lit
tie, but upon the whole we have done well
in reducing the Mcclellan majority of l, ,39l
to one not exceeding l,l50 for Clymer.

TENNESSEE LAWN Carroll county.
Tennessee, last week, man was tried be-
fore county magistrate, charged with steal
ing corn from neighbors crib. The de-
fendant had been found with his hand in an
aperture in the crib, safely fastened in a
steel trap which the owner of the crib had
set for the purpose OF catching thief who
had been preying upon his grain. 1t was
also in evidence that two empty sacks were
found lying at the feet of the entrapped in
dividual. The decision of the magistrate
was that there was no proof that the pris-
oner had stolen any corn, and as to being
caught IN a steel trap, any gentleman had a
right to stick his hand into one if he felt in
clined to do so.
