The STAR GALvASIzsD LIGHTNING ROD is supe-

It is made from Magnetic Iron-:ths souufe-
groOyed, spiral twisted and galvanized, and con-
neeted with pure copper couplings, rendering it
equal t. n copper rod the whole surmounted with
a Gold plated cluster point of pure copper, thus
forming continuous rod from the p.int to the
ground-the com mbination of metals forming
galvanic battery in the rod.
1t is WARRANTED always to remain bright and
clean. and will never corrode or rust, thus pre-
senting neat ornamental appearance the
building, worth more than its cost as a after of
ornament TO say nothing about its prot ection
against lightning.
To show the popularity of the Galvanized Star
Rod, ii is only necessary to say that the propri-
etors have pulled off more than one hundred tons
Of old rusty irons within twelve months. from
colleges academies public buildings, barns. etc,
and put up the Star Rod in their place.
As the STAR" is better and sold at n less price
thar any other rod. is d durable and more or

A NeW Gopperhead Trick.

1t has been evident for some time past,
that.the leaders of the; Seymourlte party
were engaged in colonizing voters from Ma
rylaud and other adjoining States into Penn
sylvania, as an auxiliary to their fraudulent
coffee colroed naturalization papers. to carry
the State. if possible, at the October cleo
ton. But it seems these do not comprise
their only schemes of rascality-the oIhis-
sion of the names of Republican voters from
the assessments lists being another.
Facts have come to our knowledge within
4 few days. from which We are led to believe
that in someof the election districts in this
county. if not in all where there are Demo
cratic Assessors, and where the Assessors
could be be induced to do so. the names of
Republicans have been Systematically omit
ted from the Assessment lists, i. e. they
have not beon assessed Ifthis be 50, it is one
of the most despicable tricks ever gotten
up TO make votes, and one which should meet
the just cxecrations of all honorable men in
the county. In proof Of these allegations,
it is only necessary to say, that we have been
shown lists Containing a goodly number of
names of persons, many Of whom were born
and raised. and 10 some instances have here.
tofore voted, in the districts where they now
reside, and yet their names do not appear
on the assessment lists That mistakes may
occur, we do not deny but when they oc-
eur by the dozen in localities where the As
SCISSOR in all probability knows nearly every
man. such plea cannot be urged with any
degree of hausibility.
In view If the facts here presented, we
urge every man. who reads this, to examine
the List of voters" stuck up in his dis,
trict, 10 see if his name, or that of any one
of his neighbors, has been left off and il
he finds such 70 be the case, to Immediately
go and have his name entered, and see that
his nnighbor does the same-taking the As
SCISSOR $ certificate rs to his having been pro.
perly assessed, so as to enable him to pay his
taxes tn the collector before voting. Thi:
is your right and your privilege, your duty
to yourselves and your country Then, once
more we say, attend 10 this matter ere it is
too late, and you be deirauded out of your
votes by the negligence or colusion of un.
