MIR. Jerome b. Stokes tells the
Chester Reporter of very strange
discovery he made on his plant alton a
few days ago. For some tiuo past
he had noticed very great diminu
tlon in the supply of milk furni,hed
by his COWS. On making inquiries
into the cause, of the woman who bad
charge Of the COWS, she accounted for
It by stating that the mill; was sucked
from the COWS by litter Of pigs that
stayed at night in the same yard in
which the COWS we're kept. This i'm.
probable story only fixed deeper in
his mind the suspicion that the wo.
man was using the milk for her own
purposes. She persisiing, though, in
her story, he went to his COW lot ear
" In the morning, and there he found
the cows ying quietly on their sides,
and the pigs tupging away for their
breakfast. Afterwards, when the
COWS were standing up, he saw The
pigs running around and under
them, jumping up, and doing all
they could to reach the teats.-
These pigs, that had been forced to
learn 50 early the lesson of "root hog
or die" had lost their maternal pro.
gonitor at an early day. Ifany eoun.
ty has any smarter pigs than these,
trot 'em out.

4 Fire Panic I'm Detroit.

The Detroit Free Press. Of the 10th
inst, saws: Zone thing which contrib
uted greatly to the popular excitement
in Detroit about Chicago was the
knowledge that our city is at any mo.
ment liable to an extensive conflagra-
ton, every wooden building being q
finder box which needs but spark to
wrap it in flames. For days and nights
not drop of rain has fallen, and the
hot winds have parched the earth and
wood until no human power can stay q
coufagration once started. Men not
insured were Yesterday making their
way to insurance offices, some securing
policies, others being refused. In many
localities citizens used their penstock
hose and wet the roofs of their houses,
using ladders and pals where they had
no hose. The striking of the city bells
gave every one nervous start, as every
one was constantly looking for ap alarm
Of fire, the wind blowing a gale and
clouds of smoke hanging over the city.
The call for two hundred special police
men to guard the city against incen-
diary fire had an effect to highten the
nervous excitement, and it will be long
ere the Detroiters pass another euch
day and evening.

A DueliinS Incident.

An indiscreet gentleman who had
given offense to a young lady in Louis
vile, Ky, few days since, was chal-
lenged by the thatis-to-be husband of
the insulted. While the challenged
party was reading the invitation to 60
out and be shot, his little daughter
came up and said, Papa, mother wants
you. The father then turned to the
challengebearer and said: "This is my
little girl, whose happiness and educa-
ton and living would be taken from her
were | to be killed. | have also wife
and baby whose welfare | must look
to. This meeting, if fatal to me, would
deprive them Of their only support. My
opponents a young man, without wife
or children, or family. He has very
little to lose" The challenge bearer
was almost melted to tears. The pic
ture just drawn was true to life, and he
determined to return to his principal and
ask for compromise. The latter was
high toned, chivalrous Kentucky gen
tleman, whose heart at once responded
to the appeal for mercy. A compromise
was effected. 1t was agreed that the
duel should be postponed until the first
party got married and became the father
of children. Then they will both be
on an equal footing and can test each
others courage.

VOTE YOUR OWN TICKET.

Without the hope of deluding some
unwary Democrats into the support Of
a portion of their ticket, the Radicals
would have male no nominations
in this county this fall. Without
Democratic votes they cannot elect
single man on their list.
1t is therefore both legitimate and
proper for every Democrat to inquire
what particular claim upon his favor is
possessed by sny Of the candidates OF
the MtelHgsncer ring. What one OF
those candidates has ever done pollt'
ical act that can entitle him to Demo-
cratic favor? Have they not all been
ranked among the bitterest and most
uprelenting Radical partisans in the
county? There is scarcely Democrat
or Conservative man in this section Of
the State, certainly none OF any promi-
hence in the past, who has not been in
suited and prosecuted by the Wheeling
nteligsnesr while edited by one Of the
men who now solicit Democratic sup
port.
We have nothing to say against Mr..
CAMPBELL and STANTON, and their as5o-
ciates, as Radicals. They have been
nominated by a very clearly marked
ring" it is true; but that is a matter
to be settled between them and their
own party. But when these men claim
credit as liberal minded, non-partisan,
compromise candidates. and solicit
Democratic favor in a contest in which
political opinions are to a great extent
involved, they attempt deception
which it is our duty to expose There
is no Democrat in this city or elsewhere
who can, consistently with his views OF
right, vote for single one Of the gen.
tlemen nominated by "the MtclHgmcer
ring last Monday. We cannot ask
nor expect any Of these men to !orego
their political convictions and give
support to measures OF Democratic pol
icy. Then why should Democrats be
expected to forsake their own party
nominees and assist in placing power
in the hands of those who always have
been and always will be their political
foes? Had any Of these candidates
manifested less bitterness in the past ;
had any Of them forborne to Cypress
their Democratic neighbo-s when the
Radical party held sway and these
men had the lash in their own hands !;
possibly they might be regarded as
as having some title to Democratic
gratitude. But they deserve nothing
but defeat at our hands. Their power
to injure was used merclessly and vim
dictively, and while we have no desire
TO retaliate upon them the outrages that
characterized their party rule, The DEM
ocrats OF Ohio county and OF the State
owe it to themselves that neither these
men nor such a. they attain political
power in West Virginia. We say to
the Democratic party everywhere
Stand by your own ticket; support only
such candidates for the Convention and
the Legislature as represent your own
political views; and let the Radicals
elect their own men il they can.

COAL SUPPLY AT CINCINNATI.
Impending Famine-StOck on Hand
AIarmingIy Short.

mpenOlnS II uuusnC
AlarmingIy Short.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Tuesday,
An investigation Of the amount on
hand discloses the startling fact that
scarcely enough coal remains IN the
Yards of our dealers to meet the ordi-
nary demands of our people week
longer, unless relief comes in the shape
of rain, or from some concerted action
on the part of our citizens whereby it
can be obtained by railroad. 1t is es-
timated, by competent judges, that the
amount of Pittsburgh coal now on hand
will not exceed 100000 bushels. The
amount of anthracite and other coal IL
the city isinconsiderable. The average
daily consumption of coal is estimated
to be not far from 100000 bushels
Thus it will be seen that five or six days
will exhaust the supply. The rates of
coal for the retail trade have been adj
vancing almost daily for the last two
weeks, and yesterday we were informed
that eight dollars a load was demanded
with a prospect Of a further advance.
There are parties ready to furnish
our dealers with coal at reasonable
rates by railroad, if arrangements for
transportation can he made with those
corporations. Hooking Valley can be
furnished here at cost Of from 20 to pc
a bushel, and in sufficient quantities to
meet the present emergency, provided
the railroads can be brought into the
arrangement. 1t is quite true, in view
OF the serious aspect Of things, as now
presented, that some action was had
by which a daily supply can he Tor
warded from the mines most accessible.
Winter is advancing upon us, and soon
it's cold breath will chill and pinch the
poor, who have not been forehanded
enough to lay in supply during time
Of abundance to meet their wants at the
present time. We have many manu-
featuring and industrial establishments
that use vast quantities of fuel daily,
that must be supplied. Their stock
was large during the fore part of the
season, but the continuous draft made
upon them, for so long period, with
out an opportunity oireplenishing them,
has caused even those establishments
to look forward with feelings OF uneasi-
ness to the uncertain future. The pros
pect Of rain sufficient to make the
river available for the transportation oil
coal is no better to-day than it was six
weeks since.
