Young Ladies.

One of the three social civils of this age
Is admitted to be the reluctance of our young
men to early marriages. They wont marry
now, we are told as they used to on $4,000
year. Depend upon it, in many cases it is
not the odd hundred or two that is wanting
1T S the attraction. We have lost that joy
Gus and familiar intercourse between neigh
boris families, where young people indiyid-
ualities had space and opportunity to devel-
op themselves, and heart met heart. Our
modish Cupid has overstrung his bow-his
arrow don't pit home. Young ladies put away
the key 20 their hearts so carefully that no
body thinks it worth looking for. Who is to
chose the cone out of the bevy of proper
behaved damsels like row of hollyhocks.
differing only in height and shape and color?
They all look alike, and walk and dress alike;
and for anything that appears to the contra
ry, think and feel alike Why, such choice
is an act of deliberate intention, matrimony

ture upon it. No wonder they calculate the
probable butchers bills before they take
such plunge as that Don't think talk

General Grants / Fosition.

This noble soldier has taken ofrm a stand
In support of the President, as to put to
confusion the radicals upon all sides. They
threw out their skirmishers, they resorted to
artifce and strategem to capture him ; and
failing finally in all such feeble efforts, they
determined toAcarry him by storm, and chose
as a convenient opportunity the occasion of
his appearance at Cincinnati in advance of
the Presidential party. They knew he would
not give them audience, and it was deter
mined, therefore, to surprise him in the
theatre whittier he had gone for the express
purpose of avoiding them.
But the General was not to be surprised
nor overcome SO easily, for his eagle-eye is
fixed as fastly and witheringly upon the foes
of the Constitution and the Union now, as
it was when he was seated before Richmond,
and the rebuke he gave them at Cincinnati
would have disheartened and dismayed any
party that had not pledged its life, its for
tune and its sacred honor to the dissolution
and obstruction of its country. The Ian
guage of the General himself is more fJrci
BILE than any comment we could make upon
it, and we quote therefore from the Cincin-
natl papers the account of the scenes which
transpired at the theatre, the significance of
which cannot be eoverrated or misunderstood
General Grant visited Wood Theatre
last night, where he was enthusiastically re-
ceived The Enquirer of to-day says of the
proceedings ''The boys In blue paraded to
the theatre, and Dir. Eggliston and others
ascended the stairs, and Mr.. Allen, the man
ager, was requested to go and inform Gener-
al Grant that there was crowd of citizens
on the outside who desired to see him. Mr.
Allen went into the private box and convey
I'd the intelligence to the General, who re-
bIied, g 1 cannot, and 0iU not see thenas-
please tell their commander to come to me. .
ar. Allen communicated with Commander
4. T. Baker, who marched into the theatre,
and with others, entered General Grants
INNATE box. Without giving Captain Ba--
Ter moment to say single word, General
Grant approached him and said in firm
tone:

C!ymer Will be Elected.

'Clymer viii withdraw" Cymer must
withdraw" 'Clymeris aclog on hisparty :"
the best posted of the Democratic leaders
declare that Clymer has no chance of cleo
ton" &c. These are a few of the daily ut
terances of Geary organs, with whom the
wish is always father to the lie. Dir. Cly
mer will not withdraw for a very good reason
that he is the unanimous choice of the Dem
ocratic party, whose every vote he will poll
on the second Tuesday of October. He is
not clog on the party, and no Democrat
has ever predicted or anticipated defeat for
him. On the other hand, the prospect of
electing him is unusually bright and Aatter-
ing.
Mr.. Clymer has been working assiduousy
and faithfully in all parts of the State, and
nowhere has he failed to make a most IA
yorable impression and to bring to his sup
port legions of fresh voters. He has the un-
doubted assurance Of largely Increased ma
jorities IN eUery Democratic county, and Of
extraordinary changes IN has tavor an OppO-
sition counties In not single county IN
the State ,oiU he fail torns beyond the Dem
ocratic poll Of 1864 and 1865, and IN several
counties HIS GAINS WILL AMOUNT TO NOT
LESS THAN FIVE THOUSAND.
These facts are pretty well known to the
Gearyites, (whose league organization has
enabled them to count noses, and that is
what the serious matter is with them. They
find fewer moses in the league rooms than
formerly, and, upon inquiry, discover that
the absence is permanent. These absences
run from hundreds to thousands IN euery
county IN the State, and have caused the
most serious alarm among the leaders. Men
of intelligence cannot be duped into the sup
port of the Disunion majority of the Rump
Congress- majority which boldly proclaims
disunion as means to secure the "spoils -
which voted to force negro suffrage in the
District of Columbia which passed the Ne
gro Rights and Freedmen's Bureau Bills
and which has declared that all its acts are
to secure perpetual supremacy for its party,
regardless of the welfare of the country.
The leaders of the Geary factionsee and feel
their want of a platform of principles, but
cover up the deficiency with abuse of the
President and all who are connected with
him, In the endeavor to excite unjust preju-
dices. In their loss of numbers they see the
fate In store for them, and hence the more
desDerate befsome their chances the more

Midnight Muir der.

We are again called upon to record another
murder-another cold-blooded, heartless as
sasslnatlon. Occurrences of this kind are
becoming of terrible frequency in our COM
munity, and the one we are called upon this
morning to record, exceeds in atrocity almost
anything we have hitherto been required to
notice
In this tragedy the victim was not man
whom we might suppose to have given some
provocation for the deed, but poor, help
less woman treading the humblest walks of
life, and what is still worse, the mother of
SIX helpless children. On yesterday MORN
ing, about ten o'clock, the wife of an Irish
man named Collins, living near where the
Nicho'asville Railroad crosses Broadway, and
near what is known as the Nicholasville
Depot, heard some one rapping on the door
her husband, who has a contract for re-
pairing the turnpike from this city to Mich
olasville, was away from home, but was ex-
pected to return late on the night in question.
She very naturally supposed it was her hus-
band, and without suspicion of danger
proceeded to the door and opened it; what
person or persons were there no eyes but
her own in that instant saw, whoever it was
She was shot by pistol ball in the centre
Of the forehead, scattering the brains in all
directions.
4 brother-in-law of the murdered woman
was in the house at the time, and heard the
shot, but says that shooting is SO frequent,
and with so little regard to the proximity of
houses in that neighborhood, that he paid no
attention to it. No one in the house dreamed
Of the crime which had been perpetrated,
until some of the children, when they had
arisen in the morning, found the door open,
and their mother lying stark and dead.
No clue has been obtained to the murderer
or murderers; but beyond doubt the crime
was the act of some miscreant, who sup
posed he had killed the husband instead of
the wife, for there is no reason to suppose
that there is any one base enough to thus
murder a poor helpless woman who had
never given ofense to any one.-Le.cington

GEN. GEARY.-We would suggest to the
OjliOn Republicans, of WllliamSport, that it
change GEARY's location from Westmore-
land County to old mother Cumberland,
where he belongs aud Star.
My dear sir, if we should adopt your sug-
gestion we would not be more correct than
heretofore. We have used our best endeav-
Ors to find out the locality where Gen. Geary
resides, but we are compelled to admit, that
thus far our exertions have not been crowned
with success. We have addressed letters to
the General in nearly every county In the
State, and failing to receive a reply from
him, we addressed one to him In Kansas,
which met with no better success. Now,
under such circumstances, we are compelled
to come to the conclusion that the General
does not any longer exist in the hesh-in
fact, that he is dead What confirms US more
in our conclusions is the fact that the last
authentic Information we received from him,
was over eighteen months ago on Southern
battle field, and as great many people lost
their lives on such fields, it is more than
probable that the General lost his.
As for General Geary being a candidate
for Governor, it is all bosh. 1t is John Cess
ma, who is the radical candidate for Govern
or, and who has assumed the name of the
deceased General for the purpose of receiv-
ing the soldiers vote. The radical press for
the purpose of carrying out the fraud have
placed the name Of Geary at the head of
their columns, when all the evidence goes
to show that General Geary is dead. By
placing confidence in these papers, we have
been led astray, as well as the DEMOCRAT
AND STAR--UIston RepubEcdn.

By what name in cherished legend,
Lingering graceful on the tongue,
Dear to Poets deathless fancy,
Hath a maid ike thee been sung
Vert thou many-beautiful model,
Faithful Enid or Elaine,
Steadfast Custance, meek Griselda,
Or pure Una Of the plain?
Didst thou, matching it in sweetness,
Bear the name of Rosalind
Vert thou Juliet or Miranda;
Or Castara or Lucind
Vert thou the soul-bride of Dante
The half goddess Florentine ?
Or that earthlier fair of Florence,
Sidney's heavenly Geraldine?
Virtue hath no filter symbol,
Innocence no purer shrine,
Love no more unselfish temple
Than the vestal form of thine.
Beauty waited to be perfect,
Till, with gracious dignity.

When the year had reached its prime; 4
When an Eden spirit tended
Ali things in an Eden cline
Then thy glee first yelled with bushes,
Then thy soul first spake in song
And the warmth of covert glances
Loosed my scarcely venturing tongue.
Dost thou think upon the Autumn,
When fruition crowned toe year
When the garners, stored with plenty,
Still left plenty everywhere
Nature then, relieved from labor,
Halted for her Sell-won rest;
And thy short-delaying fondness
Claimed the tumult of my breast.

Dealing death at every pace
Be it mine that not too roughly
Shall its winds assail thy face
