VIII they GIVE up their Leaders ?

Now that the Democracy of Penn
sylvania have SO slyly abandoned ad-
hesion to their old heresies, the next
thing for them to do is to give up their
leaders. When man resolves to re-
form certain vicious habits-when he
desires to lead a sober life-to be
honest and virtuous--he leaves the
grog shop, quits the resort of vice, and
cuts loose from the gambler and the
harlot. If he does not do this there
can be no reliance put in his profes-
sions of reform. "Tell me who your
company is, and I'll tell you what you
are" is homely adage very applica-
BILE in this case, and as the Democracy
have resolved to reform, we beg to ask
whether they will give up their old
leaders? p? Are they ready to throw
George w. Woodward overheard I?
Will they give up Jerry Black to be
dealt with as he deserves? Are they
prepared to cut loose from Bill
MMullin and his gang, whose only
conviction as to the soundness of
Democratic principles is in the graft
fication they afford for maltreating
negroes? =? All over the State are vet
the old representatives of treason
sympathizers, who are now Demo
cratic leaders. VIII the party give
them up? If not, what reliance dare

Assault UroN SHERIFF. PIE-On
Monday, May 22d, Sheriff Pie, went
to Glen Hope, for the purpose of ar
resting James Johnston, who escaped
from Jail short time since. On the
way thither, however, he came across
stigert, who also had departed from
durance without permission. The
Sheriff arrested Stigert and brought
him to town that evening. On Tues
day morning he again wended his way
towards the domicile of Johnston. On
approaching the house, the Sheriff left
his horse some distance away in the
woods and proceeded on foot. On
nearing the house he discovered
Johnston in the yard cutting seed po.
tatoes, when he at once pounced upon
his prisoner to handcuff him. A
severe scuffie ensued, during which
Johnston struck the Sheriff six or
seven times with his fist, but the latter
finally succeeded in securing the
prisoner. The Sheriff, during the me-
lee, also succeeded in discharginc one
barrel Of his revolver, which brought
some raftsmen, who were working near
by, to his assistance, when he succeed
ed in putting hobbies on Johnston.
At the instance of Johnston, the
Sheriff sent to neighbor's house for
his wife, who soon made her appear
ance, when the party started into the
house to get some clothes for prisoner.
On nearing the door, the prisoner
suddenly leaped inside, and at the
same instant an axe was hurled at the
Sherift's head, but missed him. The
prisoner standing at bay inside of the
door with an axe, the Sheriff drew his
revolver in the hope that its appear
ancc would intimidate him, but with
no effect. During this brief interval
the hobbies on the prisoner were cut,
when he turned and swiftly run out at
the back part of the house and made
good his escape, and has not since
been heard from. The Sheriff was
considerably stunned from the blows
received, so much so that it was with
difficulty he came home on the follow
ing day; but he is about again, and
ready for "active service. = Clearfeld

A TlGREss LOOSE IN THE RING
The Circus which was here last week,
had no regular ring master, but all
tried their hand at it, and among the
others who had periodical spells of
cracking the whip was a large female
called Brown. This brown woman
has little daughter, nine years of
age, whose forte is bare back riding.
In the afternoon the old lady kept the
horse which the little girl was riding,
on the run until its gait was so broken
and unsteady from fatigue that the
little girl could not keep her feet for
an instant. The old termagant was
drilling the girl in jumping four ban
ners in succession, which was almost
impossible, and she fell once and was
seized by her father, slapped severely
and put back on the horse. The
audience finally had to interfere and
stop the cruelty. The clown was the
only gentleman in the ring, and al
though he sympathized with the girl,
made excuses for the brutality of the
parents. AS a matter of choice we
should prefer to enter the lions den
than the circus ring, presided over by
a woman like this tigress. Sheldon
berger d Co., had better keep the
temper of this woman down, or some
audience during this season will make
the ring too hot to hold her.-Raa-
do{ph Register.

Floating islands were known to
the ancients. The younger Pliny re-
fers to several which were covered
with reeds and rushes so firmly that
sheep strayed out upon them, and thus
were sometimes foated away. In
modern days, too, such masses have
often formed in large rivers, carrying
out involuntary passengers of swine
and kline to sea. A short time ago
tidings Of new discovery of similar
character came from Victoria. Por-
tions of that colony are traversed, it
is said, by rivers which flow into a
system of parallel lakes, separated
from the ocean by long sandy ridges
which have but one navigable open
ing. The islands are formed by allu-
vial deposits which are brought down
by the rivers from the mountain dis.
tricts. One of these was recently dis
covered by the master of trading
vessel, directly where the deepest
.channel had been before. Upon it
were several large droves of pigs.
which fed on coEtentedly as the tide
swept them toward the sea. It.is
stated that so long as the wind drove
it in that direction the infant island
bore exactly for the ocean, but (per-
haps luckily for the pigs a change of
wind came, and it sailed back again
to the exact spot which it had left.
We mention the matter partly for the
reason of its novelty, and partly be.
cause it SO strikingly resembles the
new departure of Democracy. A few
weeks ago and it seemed almost GER
tain that the young island was drift
ing bravely, buoyantly and surely
from the aguish river marshes to the
broad and open sea. Tide and wind
were both in its favor, and the cattle
which browsed upon it looked as if
they had thoroughly made up their
minds to a voyage of discovery. But
within few days the wind has shifted.
1t blows strongly from the South, and
the Northern current is not powerful
enough to overcome the breezes from
the opposite quarter. 1t has already
drifted back to the exact spot from
which it started, and there it will
probably remain, circling uncertainty
about, while the great ships come and
go, and wonder at the singular
phenomenon. Now the question is,
who owns the pigs ?-PHsJmgh COM

The Ku-Kux of Forest and the
Gurrillas of Clarion seem to be ripe
for ruction among themselves. The

Judge of this district, the Democracy

fore the primary elections in Forest,
So they would only haye one to buck
against the Jefferson man, instead of
dividing the vote up among three of
them, and thus giving the jefferson
man an easy thing of it in Forest. The
Clarion chaps claim that it is a set up
thing to defeat any candidate they may
choose, and it does look little strange.
We think that perhaps a compromise
may be effected by which Mr.. J. L..
Gordon of Brookville may occupy
the bench for the next term. Then
the thing will be satisfactory all
around.

The Cleveland Herald. always n

has the following sensible remarks
concerning them: "The local paper
is an absolute necessity to the county
and community where il is published.
All the city papers cannot supply the
place Of the home paper. That
should be the first love of every man
and woman, for with the paper is the
locality identified. The paper gives
the county and town where printed,
much of their Importance in the world
and gives in detail the local news,
which cannot be gained by any other
source. Every days issue of the
paper is so much local history, and the
rise, growth and development of the
town and county can be measured and
recorded only by the local newspaper
that constantly is gathering its items.
People do not properly appreciate their
home newspaper. They measure the
value OF paper too much by the
number of columns it contains. The
home paper at any price is The cheapest
paper one can take, for in it is found
the Information to be obtained from no
iother source.
Another thing can be taken into
consideration. Every county has one
or more newspapers. Hence the cir
culation of each paper must be limit.
ed. There is, therefore, the greatest
need of activity and interest on the
part of the people, to give their own
good paper, vigorous and substantial
