AN election for Governor and other
State officers, will be held in New
Hampshire, on the tenth of March
next. Both parties are exerting their
utmost strength to win the fight.
Last year the Radical candidate for
Governor was elected by 3,10O MAORI
ty. Since then the Democrats have
made important accessions, and it
looks now as though the contest would
be very close one, and sanguine peo-
pie even hope for a Democratic vie
tory. One thing is certain, the Radi-
Gals are bound to lose heavily, and an
other thing is equally certain, they con-
not afford to lose q single rOte. They
have nominated Gen. Grant for Presi-
dent in New Hampshire, and they are
testing his strength in this election.
If they fail to gain on last years vote,
they will see the handwriting on the
wall. Then, neither Grant, nor salt.
petre, can save them.

MAN KILLED.-A middle-aged man
was instantly killed, on Saturday at
ternoon last, short distance above Ty-
rome, by being struck by the engine OF
the Mail Train East. His skull was
broken, and he was otherwise Injured.
He lived in Tyrone, and, in company
with his wife, to whom ne had been
married only four or five days, started
to walk to Fostoria. They had step
ped from the north to the south
track to get out of the way of a
freight train. The woman left the road
entirely, while the man stood so close
to the track that the engine struck him
just above the eye, carrying offa portion
of his skull and killing him instantly.

JOsEPHINE.-So far as the intriu-
sic interest of the facts is concern
ed upon which Miss Muhlbach bases
her story, this latest production of her
pen may be said to rival any of its pre-
decessOrs. Nowhere in all history is
there a tragedy so sweet and sad as
that of Josephine-Woman, wife, en-
press, and worse than widowed. The
skillful romancer has gathered the facts
from all known sources, and woven
them into acompact and cleaning web.
Miss Muhlbach is accused of high col
oring; but what tintS can be too bright
or too dark by contrast for the light
and shade of such a marvelously chequ-
cred career as Josephine's? This tale
is well translated, and the graceful,
characteristic style of the author duly
preserved. In the art of gently beguil-
ing the reader from page to page by
the charm of style, Miss Muhl Dach has
no superior living; though in this in
stance, he dramatic arrangement of
the stirring incidents is so ingenious
and captivating that a more barren
style would still have left the work
higly interesting. We are glad to see
the Empress Josephine" "worthily illus
trated. There can be no dispute about
the claims Of such lovely designs as the
vignette, Marie Antoinette, the night
before her execution, the beautiful Hor-
tense meditating III agarden, the divor-
ced Empress, and Josephine's stolen
interview with the little Napoleon.
CASTOR Fay is the author of these eX-
quisite sketches, and unless we mis-
take, he has the stuff in him for the
making OF first-claSs reputation.

On the second Tuesday of October
next, the voters of Pennsylvania will
choose zone person to fill the office of
Auditor General" and lone person to
fill theoffice ofSurveyor General" We
look to the coming Democratic State
Convention for the very best nomina-
ton for these offices that can be made
by the party. Pennsylvania, as usual,
will be the battle ground for the Presi-
dency, and the Democracy must go
into the fight with honest, fearless
and trustworthy leaders. There ap-
pears to be no lack of material from
which to choose our standard-bearers,
and we, therefore, have no apprehen-
sions on this score. For the Office of
Auditor General, Gen. w. w. H. Da-
Wis, of Bucks, Hon. Daniel NJ. Fox,
of Philadelphia, Gen. J. B. Sweitzer
of Pittsburg, Col. Jacob Zeigler, of But
Ter, and Charles E.. Boyle, ESD, ofFay-
cite, have been mentioned. Either OF
these gentlemen would make most
excellent candidate, and wecOuld sup
port any of them most heartily
For Surveyor General, John NJ. Coop
er, Esq, of the Chambersburg Vdlley
Spirit, Maj. Jacob Cresswell, of Hunt
ingdon county, and Col. w. B. Sipes,
of Philadelphia, are prominent names
Mr.. Cooper is veteran in the service
of Democracy, and the nomination
could not be conferred upon worthier
man, or a sounder Democrat. Maj.
Cresswell is, also, a favOrite with the
Democracy of this region and deserved
ly so. Col. Sipes is a gallant soldier
who passed with honor and distinction
through the late war, and if Philadel-
phia is to furnish the nominee, he is
our man. 1t is, perhaps, needless to
add that Mr.. Cooper is our first choice
for this nomination. 1t is now eleven
years since this Congressional district,
Tor, we may say, the Southern tier of
counties east of the Alleghenies), has
had representative upon the State
ticket, and whilst we are willing TO do
without such representative eleven
years longer, if the good of the Democ-
racy demand it, we think we can, with
propriety, urge the claim of our sec
tiOn. But whatever may be the course
of the Convention in regard to nomina-
tions, let itbe careful to select the strong
estmeh. The last Convention displayed
eminent wisdom in its selection of a
candidate. ANY other man than Judge
SharswOod would have received just
enough votes to have been defeated.
His high character as q man and his
eminent ability as jurist, saved us
the State. If the coming Convention
but act as wisely as that of last year,
all will be well.
