THE RECORD OF THOMAS HARVEY, THE woRKING-
MANS CANDIDATE.

THE RECORD OF THOMAS HARVEY, THE WORKING
MANS CANDIDATE.
The Republican, of this city has the following:
AS Thomas Harvey, the Republican candidate
for Sheriff. has been grossly misrepresented we
deem it proper to make the following statement
i'll regard to him
He was born in Chester county. about the year
1924, and s connected with one of the most re-
spectable families in that section. In 1910, lie
came to this city, and was apprcnticed to the late
James Rice, to learn the business of motllder
After he attained his majority, he was employed
as journeyman, and soon rose to the position OF
foreman in the establishment. His skill, indiis,
try and great faithfulness were such as 10 cal
forth the fullest confidence of his employer, and
after his decease, he was employed by the SOILS,
who succeeded their father i'll business. The
foundry il one of the most extensive in our city,
and gives employment to alarge number OF men.
Any person can understand that tho one who
holds the position of foreman for a long time,
cannot be other than worthy citizen, and deser-
wing of confidence and respect. Thirty years have
now elapsed since Mr.. Harvey entered the cstaD-
lishment, and with the exception of two or three
intervals, amounting altogether but little over
four years. he has been steadily employed there
He passed about two years in North Caroiha
since the suppression of the rebellion, and also
few months at Omaha, working at his trade
Some ten or twelve years ago, he conducted the
Western Hotel, corner of Fourth and Orangt
streets, for few months, but he did not like the
| business, and soon returned to moulding. if'
now, however, would like to exchange the dutie'
of the foundry for the Sheriff's Office He has
nevertheless, thus far, stuck very closely to In
work, throughout the entire campaign he di'
lose two weeks. The Monday after the nomna
| ton, he returned to the foundry and is ther
faithfully engaged as any mechanic in Our city
He has always been an earnest opponent OF tn
so-called Democratic party,a law-abiding citizen
and if the Republicans are true to themselves II
will be triumphantly elected to the office o
Sheriff.

pAuPERs, NOT CRIMINALS, ITS VICTIMS

SECOND ANNUAL EXERCISES.

The second anniversary of the Crozier Iheo-
logical Seminary, located at Upland, near Ches-
ter, in Delaware County Pennsylvania ana
nnder the control of the Baptist Denomination,
occurred Thursday. Nine young men graduated
some of them having taken one year at other
Theological Seminaries, previous to entering
Crozier, others taking only the shorter, OF sMo
wears course. The full course of study III thls
institution is three years. but provision is made
for shorter course Of two years for those VINO
NAV be unable to take the full course OF thIce
and who may not have had thorough ciass,cai ~.
training previously. Two of the young men, M. N
Chinese Seaports, and Mr.. Beckes, expect to
sail soon as Missionaries, the former to emma
and the latter to Assam They are both men OF
fine culture. The graduating exercises We're OF
most interesting character, the performances
of the graduates giving evidence OF the most
careful trang, both in doctrine, thought, method
of argument, and accuracy of expression; me
committee of examination, consisting of ley.
DIR. Conant, of Brooklyn, Rev. Dr. hrauth'
(Lutheran) of Philadelphia, and other gentle
probation as among the first scholars OF America,
gave hearty endorsement of the thoroughness
of the instruction impaired.
Though in existence only two years, and the
Baptists having other older and efiicient 5neo-
logical schools Crozier has had an attendance
of forty students during the past year, with
promise Of an increase with the commencement
of the ensueing term.
The property consists Of ground, twenty acres,
and commodious and substantial buildings, IN
cluding four Professors dwellings and two houses
for the accommodation of students who may
happen to be married. the whole valued at Sl0o,-
006.' An endowment fund of 10000 and
large beginning of what its founders intend shail
be the best Theological library in the land,
especially in the department of Ecclesiastical
History. Mr.. William Buclsnell, of Philadelphia
has given S25,00O for this purpose, and Other
sums by other interested parties will be added as
| the increase of the library may demand.
| Mrs. Margaret Bucknell, of Philadelphia, re
Gently deceased, left the institution S2O,O0O
which will be added to the endowment, and {
gentleman in Philadelphia has assumed the en-
| tire expense of erecting fre-proof building fo
| the library. 1t will cost S2500O. A building
much needed, as the library already contains
| few volumes and manuscripts relative to Baptist
| in Germany in the fourteenth and early part
| the fifteenth centuries, which perhaps could no
be duplicated in the world, and which wer
searched out in old libraries in Germany and Sc
cured for Crozier by the indomitable energy o
| DIR. Osgood, Professor of Ecclesiastical Histor
| in the institution.
The success of this institution seems certain
if men, money, scholarship and pious hearts ar
the means of making anything certain.

GREAT INCREASE IN CAPACITY OF wonKsr
The large new rolling mill just erected by Sci
dell a. Hastings, is about completed and will pro-
baby commence running oil Monday. 1t can
hardly be called an addition to their works, as it
is larger than the mill to which it is added, and
more than double the former capacity OF the

sidered model for strength and convenience.

During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries
family fools were greatly in vogue, in Scotland,
nor until the eighteenth century was the un-
seemly practice abandoned Jamie Heeman, the
Laird o Udny's fool, was among the last of his
race-a class of beings which the author of Wa
verify has rendered so familiar to every one by
his picture Of 'sDaft David Gallatly." While
Jamie had many of the properties peculiar to an
IDIOT, his singular remarks and sarcastic With
csms never failed to command attention, and
his fidelity was such that he was often entrusted
with messages of secrecy and Importance. After
CnIioden while Lord Pitsligo an adhcrent OF
Prince Charle's, WAS concealed at the house OF
Anchirios in the parish of Rathen, tho Countess
| of Enrol would send Jamie in the most private
| manner, to ask for the welfare of sold Nh
| his safety In going from Slams Castle to An
| chiries, Jamie had to pass the house of pro
prietor who was determined enemy to tho
| Prince, and all who favored him. Heeman wa
| well aware of this and as may be supposed, bore
| tile laird no good will One morning, as he wa
on his way to Anchiries, this gentleman me
him, and abruptly accosted him, either TO
amusement or information, "Where are you go
ing, Jamief" "Tm gain to hell, Sir" sal
Heeman, drily This did not encourage fnrthe
speech and the parties went their ways. In TIN
evening, as Jamie was returning, they agai
met, when the gentleman took up the theme 9
