C0nferee Meetings.-The patent democ-
rary held their senatorial and representa-
tive confeerce meetings in this place on
Friday last. Each county had a candi-
date-Pcrry, c. J. Z. Mcintyre; Juniata.
Z. D. Parker; Mif1iin, II. J. Walters
Huntingdon, Bruce Petriken; Blair. DR..
Chrsty; Centre J. T. Shugert. The Thin
bIcs however had evidently been well rig
ged before the cOnferees met, and although
AIessrs. Walters and Christy were by
courtesy entitled 10 the nominations, they
were inconUinentIy pitched overheard to
make room for Mcintyre and Shugert.
The former was a professed Union man
during the war but now has more to say
against those who saved the country than
he has against rebels, so that we opine
both Of them, to use the expression OF an
OLD siX-hOrse democrat, are men after our
own heart, and worthy the support of ev-
cry man who opposed the war as unholy
and unjust, denounced greenbacks and
bonds as continental trash, and ID Lin
coin generally
For the Assembly, John S. Miller was
again nominated, with Capt r. P. Nc
Williams Of Junata as second. Both
these men seem to be veteran of1Ice-hun-
ters, with ultra political views, of that
character which would prompt them to
vote for restoration of State taxes on re-
al estate merely because a republican leg
isIature had repealed them, or for the
same reason, repeal an efficient license
law, or anything else that smac5ed of
sound sense and good republicanism.
GsA~The Barometer during the past few
weeks has attested its usefulness in man
ner well calculated to gain the confidence
Of the public. In proof of this, we may
cite the fact that on Saturday a week. .
when almost every one was predicting
rain, that instrument showed a slight rise. .
No rain fell on that day. Subsequently
it fell and remained stationary for five
days during which we had rain every
day or night. On Saturday morning,
while the clouds still bore a threaten
lH- appearance, it again rose and was fol- .
lowed by fine weather. We use Wood
Eii. :, for which VIM. J. Fleming is
agent. This is no advertising puff, but
our own unsolicited statement.
NT. Davis, foreman of the Lewistown
Foundry and Machine Shop, met with a
singular accident last week by the burst
ing OF a small water pipe, the water from
which cut his face, near the eye, as COM
pieteiy as if knife had been used. He
is doing well, but had narrow escape
from losing his sight. Jacob Henry, who
was engaged at the same place in running
the circular saw, had his thumb nearly
cut Off the other day.
We noticed several accidents from un-
ruly horses during the past week, but
with the exception Of a broken axle and
a bloody nose not much injury was sus-
tanned. This is the season Of the year
when flies and other insects are most an
moving TO animals, and are no doubt fire.
