the Clearfeld Republican:
1.-The Philadelphia North american, is
afraid that Gen. Robert Il. Lee might be
the next candidate of the Democratic party,

would be to the exclusively loyal, but We
think no harm would result either to the
country or the General. y

declaration that the leaders Of the Demo

fer traitor for President If that is no,
the true meaning of the paragraph quoted,
then we misapprehend its import.

NITRO -GLYCERINE-WHAT is Ir?-Gly-
oerine is the sW eet principle of oil, and is
extensively used for toilet purposes but
mixed with nitric acid is converted into a
highly explosive substance, which is called
nitro glycerine. Nitric g!ycerine is com-
posed of IS per cent of itro-acid and 25 per
cent of glycerine oil. The explosive force
of this compound, according to bulk, is
thirteen times that Of gunpowler, and hence
it has been extensively used in the mines
n California, etc., for blasting purposes.

The Richmond Examiner, in discussing
the Civil Rights bill, asks the Southern

remembered that the rebels tried "the in
