RADICAL RAsCALITY AT HARRISBURG -
The Harrisburg Patriot has unveiled pre-
cious bit Of trooly loil rascality at the capi-
tai, that is a very fair specimen Of the way
the thieving party which rules and robs the
State mana. .,e the business.
1t seems that an account was presented to
Auditor General Hartranft and by him
audited, passed and paid by the State
Treasurer for 500 salary due to one A. c.
ilyus as Pastcr and Folder last session, and
SO mileage, in all s7l2. This Ilyus, it
further appears, had applied for an appoint.
ment as Pastcr and Folder, but failed to get
it, and went home. He never performed q
single days service for the State. He came
to Harrisburg, however, and drew the
amount as stated above from the State
Treasury.
The Patriot has been endeavoring to trace
out the authorship Of this robbery to the
party particularly responsible; but thus fur
the endeavor has been fruitless. Whether
it is Hartranft, who passed the account !;
Speaker Davis or Clerk Sclfridge, who Ger.
tilted to it, or Representative Armstrong, of
Lancaster, who appears to have been inter-
ested in putting the bogus claim through,
or who'was principal in the robbery remains
mystery, and will, doubtless remain so.-
The truth is, these Radical thieves at Har-
risburg and Washington are too well organ
lied and disciplined for justice ever to be
able to overtake them. The only remedy
the people have is to drive them from power
and elect honest men.

We must get 4S votes more to elect Sey.
mour, and these wc can easily obtain from
the following States. We do not mean that
we shall carry them all, though we think it
very likely, but we do mean that it is almost
morally certain that of the lO2 votes which
the following States cast, Seymour will re-.

Can the Democracy win.

As VIC have seen lately in the Radical
papers numerous estimates intended to show
the certainty Of Grants election, we have
prepared the following table, giving what
we believe to be fair estimate Of tho pros.
poets Of our party in the coming struggle.
If Virginia, Texas and Mississippi are OK.
cluded from tho Electoral College, tho whole
number Of votes cast will be 296, making
lag, the number necessary to elect. The
following States were carried in 1867 or
1868, and we regard them as perfectly safe
for Seymour. as in every election held this
year, as in Kentucky, Michigan, Connect
out, New Hampshire, and Montana, we
have gained on the vote Of last year:

NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING :
On Saturday afternoon while young
gentleman named John Leggett, with
Miss Louisa Day, were skating upon
Kean's Pond, the ice gave way, precip-
itating both into and under deep wa
ter. Mr.. Will. Day, brother OF the
young lady, skating near by, seeing the
perilous position of his sister and
friend, started to their rescue, but los
ing his presence of mind, for the mo-
ment. he also fell into the water. Two
other young men, hearing cries for
help, skated in great haste to the spot,
and in their excitement, approached
too closely, and likewise ifell into the
same death-inviting gulf, which had
the effect of rendering the situation OF
the others more dangerous.
It seemed now as if they would all
be consigned to watery. graves-no
human being near, but Providence had
ordered otherwise. Masters Frank II.
Stanford and Ferd. Ritter, came down
the stream, and were horror-stricken at
the terrible spectacle presented. They
babe those in the water to be of good
cheer encouraged them to support
themselves on the ice, and then they
FASTENED after rail and an old snow
shovel laying on the ice few rods dis
tant, with which they speedily return
ed.
Carefully they moved the rail and
shovel within reach of the almost fro
zen sufferers, and in less time than it
takes us to record it, two of the party
were rescued. 1t now required but a
minute or two to effect the preservation
of the remaining three.
The young lady sank under the wa
ter two or three times, and was only
saved by miracle. When taken out
of the water she was almost lnsenslble,
but on being conveyed to house near
by, she speedily recovered.
! The names of the two other young
men were Augustus Howe and W. Il.
Halsey,
The party were in the water between
ten and fifteen minutes.
The city, shortly after the occurrence
was filed with rumors of the drowning
of a large number Of young persons,
We rejoice, however, thatGthese young
people were preserved, and we accord
to their deliverers the mede of praise
due the noblest hero.

0HRIsTMAs COMING. Children cutely
count the days until merry Christmas.
The increasing display in the shop
windows and the stir among the retail
dealers, warn us of the rapidly APP
preaching season for presents and gen
eral iolity. Children can calculate TO a
nicely the exact time to intervene be-
tween the holidays. but as We grow
older and the cares Of the world en-
gross our thoughts few of us give any
heed to the coming festival until re-
minded of it by the necessity for re-
cognizing its claims.

4 case was tried at Hudson City yes
terday, before Justice Aldridge and a
jury. in which William Slater, a real
estate agent at Centre Hill, sued Mrs.
Catharine Deering, proprietress of a
milk dairy, to rec over damages for
milking his COW, some time between
midnight and sunrise, without per-
mission to do the same, Mr. Slater
had a COW consideredgood for twenty
quarts of milk daily, but somehow in
August last the quantity diminished SO
materially that he suspected some
human agency had affected change.
A watch was set, and one morning
about four o. clock Mrs. Deering, as is
alleged, was caught in the yard where
the COW was kept with can of milk in
her possession, although it was too dark
for the person on the watch to see her
abstracting it. The case was before
the Grand Jury ut the last term, but
they failed to find bill. The jury yes
terday gave n verdict for $50 damages

to impress on the minds of our many
readers the necessity of encouraging
home trade, and now we have an extra
inducement for so doing. We called
the other day and looked over the stock
of holiday goods that orr new and
wide-awake townsman, Charles A.
Beardsley has just put in the recon-
structed store mt 191 Broad street. We
were surprised and pleased to see the
immense variety of elegant presents
for the childs stocking and also for the
fond wife's on husbands gift. While
we we're there tho store was full and
We noticed with pleasure the courteous
attention with which all were treated
whether they bought anything or not
We predict for the store success, and
hope that our readers will patronize it.
Mr.. Beardsley showed us his prices
and they are certainly lower than New
York prices for the same class of goods.
He also said that he wished it to be
distinctly lndersto0d that he kept no one
d'oHor store, although he had some very
fine articles for that figure.

SHARP 1t is sharp that things tell.
No barber ever got a head trying to
shave his customers with a handsaw or

pertinent, live statement-the thing
put in nutshell, unless the shell is
thicker than the heads of some hearers
or readers. It is the sharp thing that
penetrates and goes home.

themselves in somewhat OF quandary
yesterday morning, on account Of the

Those who were too dignified to resort
to the more certain footing offered by

pavements, sometimes making q wild
forward dive, then recovering their
perpendicular by sudden jerk, and at
last, and at the moment when least ex-
pected, coming down upon the tlpach-
erous ice with celebrity which was de.
structive of the last remnant of dignity
and productive, in many instances, of

eXcusable under the circumstances, are
severely deprecated by AL good people

freezing as it fell, added TO the danger
Gus condition of the streets. In the
afternoon and evening, however, the
weather moderated, the rain ceased,
and the pavements became once more
fit to use. At about II o'clock in the
evening thick and heavy fog set in.
