cmrled herself up in the big chair,
declaring her "trOat ached," and
she wanted mamma.
"Dear me, Rob-" said Winnie,
in despair, what if Tot should go
and have the Group"
Rob had nothing to suggest.
He was very busy trying to ex-
anime Rover's teeth, and Rover
did not like the operation at all.
Rob-" said Winnie, hcsitating-
ly, don't you think we'd better
have prayers; seems to me |
shouldn't feel so lonesome"
Rob made no objection, and so
they opened the big Bible, and PIT
their curly heads c,ose together
while they read, verse by verse,
one ofthe blessed Psalms of David.
Then they kneeled down and said
"Our Father" together, Just as
they did every morning at prayers,
only | think they were more in
earnest than ever before; and Tot
sat in the big chair, with her thumb
in her mouth, as if she hardly
knew what to make ct it.
Nov them" said Winnie, with
a sigh ofreIief, off Tots going to
have the Group we must put her
feet in hot water, and fix her some
thing to take"
" Something to take" meant oil
and molasses, as Tot knew by ex-
perience, so she very promptly
piped ont,
Il sh mt tate anything; l don't
like it."
80 yes, You WILL" said Rob,
firmly, = | shall make you"
"You tan't make me-" gurgled
Tot, with both hands over her
mouth. 90 dear, dear! | maybe

"Well," said Winnie, who was
quite ready to make martyr of
herself.
q shan't sit up said Rob.
"Father says the place for sick
folks is in bed"
Before Tot could reply there
came sound OF shouting and
stamping ut the door, and all the
children stopped 20 listen.
Somebody's come" said Rob,
setting the door wide open. A
gust Of wind sent IA whirI OF snow
across the kitchen floor, and II
clear, brisk voice called"out,
Now, then, Josiah, you 90 to
the barn and see to the critters. -"
Sarah Spicer came busting into
the house, stamping the SNOW
from her feet, and unwinding IN
immense wooden tippet from her
head.
Well, WE'LL" she said, looking
sharply about her, $50 you're all
alive, and chirk rs crickets."
Tottie's sick" said Winnie,
''and O, Sarah, Pm SO glad You

She's been acting the awfulest
kind, Tot has," said Rob.

wEE WAR IN EUROPE

LONDON, September PA correspon-
dents letter inst received, which left Paris
on the night of the Goth, brings eight hours
later advces than previously received. 1t
confirms the rumor previously expressed of
another revolution in the capital, this time
in the interest of the extreme radical party
known as "Reds."
There is great danger of revolutionary
outbreak, involving another change of Gov
ernment.
The Reds are furious against the present
leaders, and express themselves eager for
place and power. They have been thor
oughly organized, and evnce disposition
to seize possession of the Hotel de Vile as the
initial step of their rebellious programme.
Resistance to their plans will be difficult.
1t is impossible to say what would be the
effect Of heir obtaining control Of the Gov
ernment, but the people dread pillage aud
assassination.

Response Of Erie Co. Committee.

NesPonse OF Erie 70, committee.
Below we give the response of the Erie
County Committee to a communication of
our Committee:
ERIE, Pa, Sept 10 1870.
w s. HomJ1n, Esq, Chairman of Els
90. Republican Committee.
DEAR S1R.-I have the honor of ack
nowedgiug the receipt of your letter of the
Sd inst, addressed to me in reply, to the
offer OF the Erie County Committee made
at their meeting on :he 25th ult.
| have to state that your communication
together with one from the Warren Com
mittee on the same subject were regarded
by me as presenting questions of so grave
character as to need the aid and advice of
the County Committee. Accordingly that
body was called to meet on the 18th inst.
Nearly all of the members of our large COM
mittee responded to the call.
The replies from Warren and Elk coun-
ties were laid before them for action. A
delegation from Warren being present for
consultation, committee was appointed to
confer with them, who after an interview
made report with the following resolution
annexed:
"ReSotOed That waving the question of
the regularity or irreguarity Of tho nonli-
nation made en- the 11th Of August at r.
vinton, we do in behalf of the Republicans
of Erie County, nominate and present the
name of Hon. L. D. Wetmore as our can
didate for President Judge of the sixth
Judicial District, hereby pledging the
hearty support of the Republicans of Erie
County" Which was passed.
This action prompted by the unanimity
with which the nominee was being supper
ted by the Republicans Of Elk Couty, and
by the representations Of the high character
the fine attainments, ire geproachable life and
eminent fitness of Mr.. Wetmore for the
position, made by his Warren neighbors
has now placed the three counties of the
District in political unison; and 10 CON-
mending the fact 1 can officially and per.
sonally respond to accept the kind senti-
ments expressed by you towards Mr.. Wet
more, fact now alluded to with more en-
phass as you know from the proceedings
at Irvinton the zeal and pertinacity with
which | adhered to our county's first
choice, Hon. S. E. Woodruff. Be assured
that now, prompted by the same wish to-
wards having, which you have so well ex
pressed, it will be the aim of our Republ
caus to maintain at this election the pres
,age which Erie County has so loug en-
ioyed as the Banner County of the North
West
Our ticket now complete, we are hard a
work and trust that the same activity
throughout the Sixth Judicial and tht
Nineteenth Congressional Districts may
give to our candidates the majorities they
merit.
Very truly yours.

Free Press says the SPLENDID weather Of
the past week (ending September 10Y has
been well improved by formers in their
fall work. A large amount of wheat has
been sown, and very large AMOUNT of
ground prepared that will be sown the
coming week. The hot weather has ripen-
ed the corn and put it out of danger from
Frost aud at least half of the crop is cut
and put in shock. The large crop of buck
wheat is maturing rapidly, and will soon be
harvested. In some few localities the po-
tato crop is nearly destroyed by the bug,
but where the insect has not appeared the
crop is first rate. A large amount of hay
has been cut and secured during the week
The late cut grass will make sufficient
amount Of fodder, Of superior quality. The
crop Of broom-corn is excellent, and all Of
it out of the way Of Frost.

Charles XII, King Of Sweden, was a
remarkably brave man. Ono day when
he was debating letters to his secretary,
bomb fell through the roof and into
the next room of the house where they
were sitting. The secretary, terrified
lest the house should be blown down
upon them, dropped his pen out of his
hand. What is the matter?" asked the
king calmly. "Ahl sire, the bomb, ="
stammered the secretary, "And what
has the bomb got to do with what I am
debating to you said the king. Con
tinue"
At the battle of Narvarre he had sew
eral horses shot under him. As fast as
one was killed he leaped nimbly upon a
fresh one. " These people find me
plenty of exercise" was his observation.
