PC We take the following rich sketch
from the Harrisburg correspondent Of one
of our exchanges. Major Liggett is we'll
known in this county, and his acquaint-
ances will read his demise and resurrec-
ton with interest:
Ofce-II,uitcrs .Sotd.-The appetite for
public place is growing disease among
the American people. Itmatters not how
great or insi2 nificant place may be, it is
only necessary to assume that it is vacant
to arouse Il hungry pack of applicants for
it possession. Let me give you funny
little illustration of this fact. The Keep
ership of the State Arsenal here is a coZy
snuggcry. paying twelve hundred dollars
year and eXaCting no labor that soils the
hands or wearies the brain to fulfill its
duties. p. :. Liggett, of Juniata county,
is the present incumbent of this place, Il
iovial generous, pleasant man, of deep
and ardent political proclivities, and of
that unyielding Republican stamp which
gives him great favor i'll the sight of his
partisans. Liggett is mOrtal-Liggett has
the asthma-Liggettl looks ever in a semi
diving state. On "Wednesday last it was
Tumorcd that Liggett was dead when 10!
ahalf dozen petitions tiOated through Har-
Ii>DuI8, each .bOIlt DN All dINlGiil dpJllCdllt
for the place, seeking endorsement as to
fitness personal. Y, andapprovala as to claim
politically. Li&gett's friends looked grave
and sad at the loss of so amiable fellow
when, Just as the contest began to grow
warm and threatening between the appli-
cants or Liggett's shoes, the familiar
form Of that worthy official was seen on
the board walk of the capital grounds,
steadily approaching the Arsenal. Two
of the applicants discerned the tall figure,
and were almostthrown into spasms with
The idea that it was Liggett's ghost. 1t
was no spirit, however, from the spirit
land; it was the ubiquitous Liggctt him
self, hot dead, but living, and promising
TO continue in life upon the old principle
of those holding office, that few die and
none resign. No one enjoys this joke
better than Liggett, who declares with
great complacency that he can't believe
he j. u dead man.

1mnortant Lawsuit. -HeaUy Verdict.-
Tho suit of Buffers heirs VS.. Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Company, was tried at Mid
dIaburg, SNYDER county, last week, and
ON Friday evening the jury rendered a
,,ardict of $4,000 for the death of Col.
Rutler. Mrs. Butler was killed at the
same time, and a suit is also depending
for her death. A motion for a new trial
was made, but this will hardly be argued
before next court. The accident, it will
no remembered, occurred this side of Lam
caster. and from all the information that
could be obtained at the time it was diff
cuIt TO decide what caused it; but from
the testimony on the part of the plaintiff
If was shown that the ears were crowded,
that the train was running at high speed,
and that the sudden turning of the axle
and wheels causing the loss of life was Il
rotten tie. There was however much diff
ference of opinion on this point among
the witnesses, the defendants having pro-
duced several who testified to the ties be-
ing in good order.

ATTENTION I'VE should like TO
know why the Clcarfeld County Az
rcltural Society was un-oprcsented at
the meeting held at the Agricultural
College, on the 4th instant, for the
election of Trustees for that College
Some Of the farmers in this county
should exhibit some interest and pub
spirit on this point A large sum Of
money has been invested in that in
stitution, for the benefit of farmers I;
yet, if they manifest no more interest
with reference TO its future prosperity
than they have in the past, in this
county, the College might as well be
closed. This seeming neglect of their
interest may arise from the fact that
our people have great confidence in
the integeity and ability of General
Fraser, who is now at the head of the
College, and is administering its affairs
for the general good. This method
of discharging ones duty may do in
this particular, but it would be a poor
way to run farm or a manufacturing
establishment.

As our issue contains several i'm
portant proclamations, we thought it
best to number ours. We wish our
Democratic fellow citizens to bear in
mind that we are going to have a
grand Democratic rally at the Court
House, on Tuesday evening of Court.
Gen. William M'Candless, State Sen
ator from Philadelphia, will be present,
as well as Ex-Gov. Bigler, Senator
Wallace, and t. j. Mccullough, Esq,
our nominee for Assembly, to address
their fellow-oitizens on the important
issues Of the day. Let all take an
interest in getting up large meeting.
After the election, we are going to
have the greatest jubilee that ever
came off in this neck of woods. The
change, and our majority, may not be
as great in proportion as that of Cali
fornia, but it will be revolution new
ertheless, and Radical Republican
treason will be buried out of sight.
