do in tho next eighteen months or two
years, and when they reach that point they
will get either nonied subsidy from the
Government, or guaranty of interest on
their bonds for the balance of the route.

What we Like to see.-We like to see
young ladies who are bitter enemies kiss
each other very affectionately, when they
meet 1t reminds us of a man named Ju-
das, who lived several years ago! We like
to see Acknowledgement lady promena-
ding the streets wearing dress trailing q
yard behind her in the mud-it cleans the
streets so nicely! We like to see young
man very polite and obliging to other young
ladies, while he is scarcely civil to his sister
at home-it proves that the lords of crea-
tion are devoid of deception. We like to
see man invariably throw newspa per,
boots and hat in the middle of the floor, for
his tired wife to pick up--it is evident that
he remembers his promise to cherish herr
We like to see young ladies keep their jaws
in constant motion, endeavoring to masti-
cate huge ball Of chewing gum-it looks
so lady-like. We like to see man sport
ing fast horses, while he owes the printer,
and gives nothing to the minster-it looks
honorable! We like to see man loaf
around tavern, while his wife struggles to
keep hunger away from the little ones 1t
shows he believes in womens rights

4 Signs.-The following signs though so
cery rtd'cu'ous are firmly believed by many
persons i'll the county:
Never roof building when the sign is
up or the shingles will all turn up in short
time but if put on when the sign is down
they will stay down.
Never set fence when the sign is down
or it will sink in the ground and rot the
lower rails.
Sprinkle ashes on your cattle on Ash
Wednesday, as it keeps them healthy.
Never begin any new work on Friday, as
it is all unlucky day.
Plant your potatoes in the sign of the
scales for good crop.
When your bees swarm put them in a
new hive and lay little hog manure on top
to keep them in
Never use any part of tree which the
lightning has struck for firewood or build
ing, or the lightning might strike your
house.
Depend on the ground-hogas as a weather
prognosticator.
Take the Bible for your guide, and let
all other 6O0hS and newspapers alone, or
they will lead you astray.
Did not so many persons faithfully carry
out the instructions contained in the last
clause Of the preceding paragraph, fewer
persons would be foolish enough to be in
| lluenced hy these signs.

Large Receipts.-By a report of the re-

Insurance companies in Hartford, Connect

are nearly equal to all the other eight put
together, thus showing how popular that
company is. Lewis Potter, of this borough,
is their agent, and if in want Of insurance
for any kind Of property, call on him for a

As Lady, the wife of respectable eli

As Lady, the wife of respectable citi-
zen of this place, was retur ming from a
sale i'll the country, on Tuesday evening,
about sunset, neared the fair ground, she
was attacked by a negro, who knocked her
down, breaking one of her fingers and
otherwise injuring her and attempted to
commit an outrage on her person. Before
he had time to acc omplish his hellish de
sign, Mr.. Park Henderson and colored
man, who were near by, hearing her cries,
came to her assistance. The negro ran,
but was finally captured near Henderson's
mill, and taken to Jail. He gave his name
as John Myers. Twenty years in the peni-
tentiary is too mild punishment for a de-
mon of this l1ind.-CarliSLo Herald.

Narrow Escape.--On the gath ult, the
Pacific Express on the Pennsylvania
railroad, made narrow escape from being
precipitated down an almost perpendicular
bank into deep mountain ravine, near
Kittaning Point A rock had slid down
and lodged on the track ON which the train
was ascending the mountain. A little boy
by the name Of Kehoe, under ten years of
age, discovered it and by some means got
hold of rag and by persistingly signaling
the approaching train stopped it. The no
ble conduct of the little boy, no doubt, saw
ed many lives and limbs, and a most de-
structive smash up of the train. He should
be gratefully remembered by all for his gal
liant conduct.

A Singular Case.-The Harrisburg Dai5y
Topic says: there is a rather singular case
in this city, which should claim the atten-
tion Of our medical men. We are informed
upon good authority, that there is man
now lying ill here who on last Friday
evening was discovered to be in an un-
conscious state. This condition has con-
tinued ever since. Whether it is the result
of some narcotic or other agent, we do not
know. We only state the fact that he has
been in comatose condition for nearly
six days, taking but little nourishment,
and, as far as we can learn, getting neither
better nor worse. What is the cause of all

week placed new stage on the route be-
tween this borough and Newport. The
vehicle is quite neat in appearance and com
Portable to ride in, and is really creditable
to the builder, Mr.. Samuel Smith of our

We are glad to see this evidence of pros
perity, for the line as conducted by the
present obliging proprietor is a great ac-
commodation to our citizens. In q few
weeks it is the intention of Mr.. Robinson
to make an extra trip each day to connect
with the fast line west in the evening.

JOHN
Democratic Candidate for
Congress.

Our candidate for Congress, JOHN
CARTwRIGHT, of Pomeroy, Meigs County,
is a hearty. active and energetic man
of ffty-six years of age, and was born
in Rockbridge County, Virginia; but
has livedin Ohio ever since he was four
years old. In lS43, he settled in Pome-
roy, and commenced the practice of the
law, and has ever since resided there,
following his profession. Up to 1853,
he belonged to the Wing party; and
from SO to SO, he was allied to none OF
the political parties of the day; but
since SO he has been a Democrat. He
never has held but one Office in his
life, and that was the office of Prose
cutting Attorney of Meigs County. In
1868, he was a candidate for Judge OF
the Court of Common Pleas, in his Ju-
dicial District, which is largely Repub-
lican; and, although he polled a much
larger vote than he could have expect,
ed to have polled in that District of
overwhelming Republican msjorities,
yet he was defeated by Judge Loomis,
of Marietta. As an evidence of the es-
timation of him by the people of Meigs
County, we viii state, that at this Ju-
dicial election, the Republican MAORI
ty of the County was cut down more
than three hundred. The reputation
of Mr. CARTWRIGHT, as we gather it
from Republican sources, is most Ger
tainly enviable. We are told by men,
who have always been Republicans,
that JOHN CARTWRIGHT, in point of all
that is most ennobling in the human
character, Is the peer of any man in
the District, or in the State. Honest,
kind-hearted, sober and pure in NOR
ais, courteous and gentlemanly with
all whom he meets; a man of ability,
yet always respectful of the opinions
of others--such is his reputation a.
mongst those who have been accustom-
ed to regard him as a political enemy,
and amongst those with whom he has
been doing business for upward of q
quarter of a century. We congratulate
the people of the 18th District on hav-
ing before them g candidate whose
perfonal, social, moral, and business
character stands so high and so fair.
In these days, when the people are
disguised at the fragrant corruption of
members Of Congress; when the lobby
has been making and unmaking our
laws; when the moneyed influence of
private corporations has been controll-
ing Congress, and inducing the squand
ering of the public domain in these
days, the interests of the people de-
mand the nomination and election of
just such men as Mr. CARTERIGHT-men
whose characters are above suspicion,
and whose past life, both public and
private, has been such as to call forth
from their fellow-men, on passing them,
the ejaculation of, There goes an honest
4aon r.

les in September. 1t would seen
from the facts thus presented that
the country must provide comfort
ably for all the Porters, present and
prospective, and in view of this, IS
it not a question for the serious con-
sheraton of Congress whether 1t
would not be better to at once ap-
propriate q sum of money sufficient
for the maintenance of the Porter
family, rather than to place its male
members in positions where, thro'
their ignorance and incompetence,
the interest of the Government Can
not but suffer?
