RADICAL MEETING.--EightyJfreme men
. and boys in delegatioa.- Overwhelming
turnout Of the B0udholders t-On Tues
day night last, the Radicals held a
meeting in this place. They had adj
vertised Gov. Geary, Tom Marshall
8 and Galusha A. Grow, to be present at
8 the meeting. OF course this was done
merely for the purpose of drawing a
crowd. But this ruse has been played
so often by the Radicals, that this time
it failed most signally. The crowd
didn't come. We visited the Court
House when the meeting was being
organized, and there was plenty of
room for ali. A portion ofthe bar was
occupied by ladies who were brought
out to fill up vacant seats. There was
no crowd in the aisles, and on the
stairs, and in the vestibuIe down stairs,
but for the sake ofappearances, it was
moved that the meeting adjourn out
side. This was done, and Mr.. Hall,
who wanted Pennsylvania to secede in
1868, said dsome;hing. Heacknowledged
that there was extravaganza at Wash
ington, but we had gone beyond the
point Of economy in our history as a
nation. What an admission This
didn't suit the wire-puIlers and they
began to cough and call for "Scott."
Hall was compelled to retire, and John
Scott, Esq, of Huntingdon, took the
stand. His speech was a rehash Of the
old story about 'Tebels" and TRAITORS"
and he admitted that Congress had G.
rccted governments in the South with
out regard to race or color. His speech
elected scarcely any applause.
Then came John Cessna, believing
like a bull of Bashan, making great
noise, like an empty barrel rolling down
hill, but like the barrel, having moth
ing in it. He lodged the issues Of the
campaign and went back to war times.
He said the Democratic party had new
er done any thing to put down the re-
bellion, and then, in the next breath,
declared that when he was a Democrat,
he and Judge KimmelI stood together
and spoke together for the purpose of
raising troops to sustain the govern
ment! John was a Democrat himself
during nearly four years of the war,
and if he had the slightest sense Of
shame. or any other sort of sense,
would not befOul his own nest, by ydecry-
ing the course of the party to which he
then belonged. But the dog will re-
turn 10 his vCmit. John said the
issue was between the "boys in
blue" and the "boys in gray" He
made little mistake. He meant to
say that it is between the boys i'm achite
and the boys in black He didn't say
c1DDerhead once; but lie addressed the
audienceas ''fellow Democrats. :" How
decent John is just now There ere
some meaner things in hell than cop
pcrheads just now! How he would like
to fool somebody. The meeting then
adjourned, flat, dispirited, nobody but
few negroes cheering for Grant.

HIGH WATER.-Du Damages done in
dibaeut sections Of TIE couaty.-The
heavy fall of rain on last Thursday did
considerable damage along the creeks.
The waters were higher than they
have been for number of years. The
Juniata at this place was full to over
flowing. and has not been so high
since 1862. Along Dunning' creek the
most damage was sustained; fences,
corn and timber Of every description
were carried away by the food, while
the lately sown grain fields were wash
e very much. The mill dam Of Or.
StatIer in Napier, that Of Alvey Boy
Ian in Juniata, that Of Capt. Nelson of
s.. Clair, and the fulliLg mill dam of
Valentine Riseling were swept away
The dams Of Capt. Nelson and DIR.
Statler were both built this summer alta
heavy expense, and consequently those
gentlemen suffered severely by the loss,
as the necessary work of rebuilding can
scarcely be done in time for the grind
ing Of this season.
