The election in this township on Saturday
relating to the mode of making future nomiua-
tions did not OK cite much interest, scarcely one
fourth of the Democratic voters of the town
ship having participated. This should not have
oeen so: Every Democrat should have given
expression TO his sentiments in the proper way
1t is very strange that a large portion of the
people should manifest 50 much indifference
about one OF the most important duties of a
cftizen-tbat of determining the best means for
securing the nomination OF good men Tor Office.

The Coming fan election should excite moce
than the usual interest, especially in the choice
of representative who viii consult the rights
and wishes of the people. No man should be
sition and anteccdents might leave him open TO
the suspicion Of being favorable to the
Riu9derng & schemes M me Of corporations rather than
cur friend Mr. W William Doran, as most of your
readers are doubtless aware, is an aSpirant for
the office of sheriff for the ensuing term, and
among all the candidates named for that posi-
ton, DO not think there is one more competent
more deserving the favorable consideration
of the Democracy OF Cambria. He has been an
earnest worker in the cause of the party for
number of years, and has done more for the
success of Democratic principles in this county
than any other man in this section. lie Is also
one of seven voters i'll the same family, all of
whom have invariably used their votes and in
huence in belrah of the same cause, and who
are ahundanily able to give all the security re-
quired. Aside from this, the township of sum
merliili has not hard an Office candidate for ten
or twelve years and then only one of minor i'm
portance; The people here feel that their claims
and the claims Of their candidate are good as
those of any other people or candidate, and
his selection as one of our standard-bearers in
the coming contest viii 40 much towards sGGlI-
ring an enthusiastic support of the ticket here
aways and dispelling the impression which pre-
walls among many that no account of their ser
vices to the party * taken into consideration by
the leading Democratic politicians OF the coun-
ty when it comes to selecting candidates.
Hoping that the nominations, when made,
viii prove entirely satisfactory to all remain
the sincere friend OF the welfare OF the Demo-
cratic party. SOLTERO.

THE average tenIEeratlre for May was 6f.5 de-
grecs lowest, on May 18th, OF 30 degrees. Ram
fall for the month, 40 inches. Total rain for
the year so far, 20 inches.
Before closing, and without the desire to be
considered a croakcr | would still suggest the
possibility of reverse of the season. My rea-
son for thinking so is this: We know that
vail and that the cold air of these arctic regions
is heavier than the warmer air OF our more IA
vored CLINE. a long continued season of
warmth here may cause such an upward cur
rent to create comparative vacuum, aftord-
ing room for the colder air north of us, which

from the regions of snow and ice, and thus pro

our present most genial season. W. L. a.

Dear FTecendfl-I noticed in your last number
an inquiry into the reason for calling the closing
exercises of academical institutions commence
