"A singular story of ship drifting
about at sea for twenty month after be-
ing abandoned by its crew, is told by
the people of Puerto Cabello, Vene-
zula. A short time since there was
found on the coast of Curamichate,
about mile from the port, a vessel
aground and dismantled, marked III. L.

white pine. On board was an inscrip-

A s.doEn-easl', debating club

Nd0WB-easI" debating club has
been recently arguing the question: (Which
is the most effective agent IN the reduction
of the pOpClation Of civilized countries--Wsr,
Cholera, Swithmen, or Bilious COmplaints?"
After wBrm and animated debate it was de-
ciped that the latter had proven by far the
most disastrOes, until the discovery OF the
now celebrated Stomach Bitters and ScandI-
navian Blood Purifier and Blood Pills. The
club therefore, actuated by a spirit OF philan-
throphy, have determined TO recommend
them to the public as preventative of ohOl-
era, and certain cure for all diseases re-
sulting from Bilious affection, and to inform
them that they a prepared by Prince, Wal

The Rochester Express of Monda,

The Rochester Express of Monday
makes this important statement: "We
learn that meeting of the Western
Union telegraph directors last week, it
was decided, in view of the successful
working of the Atlantic cable, that it
is not advisable to expend any more
money on the Russian extension at
present. The distance across the Rus
sian territory yet to be completed is
about 5000 miles, and it is possible
that the Russian government may feel
sufficient pride and interestin complet-
ing its connection with the western
world to finish it. In any event, the
suspension of work on the line will not
involve an entire loss, as there is prop
erty worth about a million dollars now
on hand which will sell for as much as
it cost.

The Democracy Of Cambria county are
called upon 10 assemble in their respective
townships, wards and boroughs, on Sat
urday pext, TO choose two delegates to the
nominating Convention, to be held on the
Monday following, at the Court House in
Ebensburg, for the purpose of placing be
fore the people a county ticket.
The duties, incumbent on the people
should be carefully discharged. The demo-
cratic organization is older than the cen
tury in which we live. 1t marshalled its
forces IN the political field when its oppo-
ncnts first attempted to tyrapnize over the
people by the alien and sedition laws of
the elder Adams. From that period until
Northern fanaticism and Southern folly
plunged as into civil war, her men and
her measures conducted the country steadi-
iy and peacefully to her present proud
position; and if the blessings of our gov
crnment are to be handed down to posteri-
ty, it must be done by the success of the
Democratic party.
The reason Of the long successful career
Of the Democratic party may be found in
the fact that, while its principles COM
mended themselves to the intelligence of
the people, its supporters always mani
tested a proper interest in Its success
Democrats had realized the Importance of
the maxim of their great apostle, Jefferson,
that eternal vigilance is the price Of
liberty" and thus felt themselvesi.. =.
obligations to attend to their plnaiag
meetings, and see that candidates who are
honest and capable are placed before the
people
On the present occasion we can only
say that it is the duty of all citizens who
believe that the best interests of the coun-
try viii be promoted by the success ol
democratic men and democratic measures,
to attend the primary elections, assert theil
preference honestly and fearlessly, vote
for those delegates who win enforce their
sentiments, and trust the rest to the nomi-
mating Convention
We know it is the practice of some
democrats to fold their arms and take nc
part until after the nominations are made,
and then criticise the conduct of Others
and charge unfairness upon the Conven-
ton This is all wrong. NoW is ths
time to speak. and if the people do speal
in their majesty, Convention, so consti
tuted, viii give the Democracy a ticke
which win increase the Democratic ma
jority Of the county over that Of any pre-
csding year.

usually ends case, but it seems he is to
be tried over again in the newspapers.
The Allsglanian appears to think that
Hayes ought to have been convicted Of
something, but seems to forget that be was
only tried for rape, and could not be con-.
victed of anything else. And no legal
mind that heard the case tried, however
much his sympathies may have been with
the unfortunate girl, could for moment
have believed that the offence charged
in the Indictment was made out. Nor
was the evidence of adultery any stronger
than that Of rape. The testimony of tho
girl, if believed, was sufficient to convict
Of either, but neither courts nor jurors,
who were saoOaH to do justice, could convict
under all the circumstances.
The assertion that athe prisoners coun-
sci did not offer to deny" that he was
guilty Of adultery, is entirely false. They
denied the probability Of the prosecutrix'
