EAsCALLY.-A strenuous effort was made,
10y certain 'narrow-minded' leather-heads to
bring about the impression that the ceremo-
ny Of decorating the soldiers graves on last
Saturday was TO be q political q6air! Ore
ortwo 'Pap-suckers'' were influenced to stay
out Of the ranks on this account. When, o,
when, viii the ''whelps'' who aspire to lead
the Democratic party learn to be honest? OF
cease to rob the dead Of their glory for parti-
zan purposes?
a SrGGEsuoS.-We would suggest that the
Mrs. Surratt Nine" who made up a cousid
cradle portion OF the audience at the "Kerr
Hancock Fizzle'' on last Saturday night, be
made a Special Committee on Applause, -
aud assigned to q position where they viii NOT
be an annoyance to decent folks. This is
suggested at the instance of parties who were
opposed TO the execution Of Madame Surratt
bur favor for President the man who acted as
her executioner.
AwYrL.-The Post of the G. A. R. at
this place, with its some half dozen mem
bers all told, 80 has become a source OF much
annoyance to certain Democratic orators.
Reason the men who compose It are the
same who quashed the rebellion and smoth-
cred the hopes of the Copperheads to de-
s.Ecy The Union. Further: none but such
as have honorable discharges from the Union
service can join. This provision excludes
eap9srbeads, towards and insubordinate ex-
army officers.
They made her a grave too cold and damp
For q soul so honest and true. -
If they had been wise, the dire necessity
@. o.opening The grave for'oue so lovely might
have been averted. Plantation Bitters, if
timely used, are sure to rescue the young and
J ove}y, The middle aged and the ailing, from
confirmed sickness.
Almost all diseases have their beginning in
some sliqht difficulty of the Stomach, which
would eventuate in Dyspepsia, Headache,
Liver Complaints Night Sweats, Consump-
ton, Death. Plantation Bilters viii prevent
these preuiouitory symptoms, and keep the
blood pure and the health good.
Lookoyr FOR SHaD.-The wisdom Of the
Legislature IN passing an act authorizing the
construction Of chutes in the Susquehanna
river and its tributaries has been most salts
tactorily yiudcated Onthe 25lh of May last
Mr.. Mitchell caught seventy shad, at single
haul, at Newport on the Juniata, % miles
this side Of Harrisburg We may expect
them up this way If cbutcs are placed in all
the dams belew US. Let the authorities see
thst this IS done, and while we are waiting for
them we wogld advise our friends to pay our
esteemed friend, II. F. Irvine, ofthe Regula-
tor, a visit aud examine bis extensive supply
Of boots, shoes, queeusware, glassware, no
SONS, sc. &c, Just received from Philadel-
Fhia. Henry is ahead of the shad, may his
shadow never grow less. There is nothing
fsty in ais.
PgrsBvnoH 10 NEw YoBx.-The distance
from Pittsburgh to New York by way Of the
gauueIlsviuer Sherman Valley and Allen
taau routes are as follows;
H,sburCh to Harrisburg. ................270 miles
harrisburg to New York miles.
rsats5urg to New Yorb...................452 miles
The grades upon this route are consider
ably higher than on the Allegheny Valley
road, but greatly more favorable than those
ol the Pennsylvania Central. That part of
tae proposed line between HARRISBURG and the
tonnelisyi-ie road was SURVEYED bv James
horrala, Esq. who has FOR twenty-five wears
been one Of :be leading engineers in Pannsvl
Tania, and his report Is perfectly reliable
both as tc distance and tle easy rpracficsb,il;,,
Of the route. His estimate oFthe cost in 1sg3
was $4,000 per mile-dis,auce bv survey
one hundred and thirty-five miles.-Pytf@-
