A RESOLUTION was offered at the !;

A RESOLUTION was offered at the last
meeting of the City Council to suspend
work on York and Sixth streets for an
indefinite time As far as suspension on
Sixth street is concerned we are satisfied,
but when it comes to leaving York street
in the condition it now is, all winter, we
strongly protest against the reso, ,ution
being carried INTO effect The idea of
owering the street some FIVE or six feet
until striking 9th, and then suspending
work abruptly and leaving an embank-
ment there oyer which no team can go
is unfair, and as property holder on
that street, we give our opinions on the
subject and hope the City attorney will
agree with US when he gives his opinion,
as he is called upon to do.

three excellent opportunities of estab-

improved them by establishing three

PRESIDENT GRANT has issuei a procla

who may engage in enli>ting persons fer
service against countries with which the
Unite States are at peace, and all per-
sons who may engage in furnishing arms
or war material of any kind to be used
against any power on terms of friendship
with our government, that these acts are
a violation of the laws OF the United
States, and that the perpetrators thereof
will be promptly brought to punishment
when detected, and that they can not ex
pect in that case the cIemency of the ex-
ecutive. We presu ne that this procla-
nation is more part icularly aimed at the
Feaians, to give them fair notice that,
although he has determined to pardon
the Fenan lealers now in prison in this

will show no mercy in case Il raid should

THE FIRST STAR-SPANG
LED BANNER,

&t a stated meeting of the Historic
oil Society of Pennsylvania, in Phila-
delphia, on Monday evening, William
j. Candy, Esq, read a paper on "The
First Star Spangled Banner made in
America, and who made it."
The paper contains and interesting
tradition now first published, well pre-
served in the family of Mrs. Elizabeth
Claypoole, to the effect that this lady
(whose name at that time was Ross,)
was the first maker and partial design
er o fthe flag of the United States
The house where the first flag was
made is stated to be still standing at
No. 239 Arch street, below Third, a 1T
tie two story and attic tenement, for
merly No. SO, and first occupied by
Mrs. G1sypoole, whose maiden name
was Griscom. when she was the widow
of her first husband, Mr.. John Ross, a
son of Rev. Eaneas Ross, once assist
ant minister of Christ Church in this
city, and afterwards at New Caste,
in Delaware, and a nephew of Colonel
George Ross, a signer of the Declare
ton of independence.
a Committee of Congress, of whom
Colonel Ross was one, accompanied by
General Washington, in June, I776,
called on Mrs. Bess, who was an up
holster, and engaged her to make the
flag from a rough drawing, which, ac-
cording to her suggestions, was re-
drawn and somewhat altered, by Cen
eral Washington himself, then and
there inner back parlor. The flag, as
thus designed, was made by Mrs
Ross and adopted by Congress, and
was the first Star-SpangIed Banner that

tanned that a certain young lady
had engaged herself to each of
them, fercely ~quarreled about it for
several months, and then agreed to
wait upon the girl in o body and
AJAX her to take her choice. But
the girl quietly informed them that
it was a quarrel of their own, in
which she was not particularly IN

IT among themselves. Whereupon
they retired and settled the Difficult

MORGAN TOWNSHIP AND
m'C0NNELSVILLE II
RATION ELECTIONS,

For the past few years there has
been a disposition manifested by a
majority of the citizens of Morgan
Township and the Village of Nc
Connelsville, to eschew party poll
tics in the annual Spring electors.
This has never been satisfactory to
certain of our prominent local polI~
ticians, and has been extremely dis
tasteful to such old party hacks as
D. c. Pirkerton. the head and front
of the Radical Ring of Morgan
County. This year Mr.. Pinkerton
determined to "take time by the
foreleck," and, by one bold move
ment, place matters in such a posi-
ton that Republicans could not en-
ter into any other than a straight
Republican Convention. In order
to do this, be set himself to work,
wrote out a call for a straight Re-
publican Convention, and hand
ed it to W. W. Pyle for publication
in last weeks Herald, a date pre-
vious to that of any other move
ment. Pyle was elated with the
idea which Pfhkerton's scheming
brain had hit upon ; and he, in his
editorial capacity, attached to the
call one of his soul-stIrring O effu-
sioDs, calling on the Republicans Of
this Township ard Corporation to
rally to the last man, in COnven>
ton and at the Polls, to the sup
port of Republican principles
Evidently, Pinkerton and Pyle
thought there was not a Republi-
can IN town that would dare say
aught against their project ; but,
by reference 10 the call for a Cons
vention found elsewhere IN this pa
per, It will be Seen that the Repub-
%licans of Morgan Township. as well
as Democrats, are not to be con-
trolled N matters of local imports
ance by the edicts of old political
hacks and schemers. If they do
vote their party principles in State
and National matters, they have
demonstrated their intention of be-
ing independent in matters which
relate to home interests exclusive
ly. We would not be surprised to
see the Herald making another of
its humilla:ing apologies in this
weeks issue. They say that I'D.
G. Is as mad as a fly" but the pro-
mlnent Republicans only say
"Shoo !" when he "bodders'' them.

A writer in the Salem Gazette says a
pine tree, twenty feet N height, and
en- inches in diameter at the base. has
grown upon the sold rock in Beverly,
Massachusetts,, and, as it grew, unable
to obtain moisture and support from
the rock or to penetrate its surface,
sent out its roots for supplies. These
travelled twenty or more feet over a
rocky ledge until they reached a
swamp, and from thence the tree has
been built up. These roots, where
they run over the ledge, are three or
four inches in circumference, and of
the same color as the rock, so that
they can scarcely be distinguished
from il.
