The Spring Elections.

Having at last seen copy Of the act re-
storing the Spring elections, We publish it
below for tbe information of our readers
Under the provisions of the law, no election
of borough and township officers will take
place at the next October election, but they
will be elected under the old law, which the
act restores, ,on the third Friday in February
1872, and will enter upon the duties of their
office when the terms of the present officers
expire, which we believe always took place
about week after the February election {:

In another column will be found a re-
markable letter, written tive days before the
New York riot, by John j. Bond, Grand
Master of the Orangemen, addressed to Jas
j. Kelso, Superintendent of Police 1t will
be seen that this letter was written for the
express purpose of implorin2 Mr.. Kelso to
do precisely what he afterwards did. after
having consulted Mayor Hall. From Mr.
Bonds official relations to the Orange socie-
ties, no man could possibly know so we'll as
he the reality and magnitude of the danger
to be appreh handed, if the proposed parade
was allowed to take place. 1t seems that
he had urged the Orangemen to abandon
their procession, and failing to get their con-
sent, he made this earnest appeal to the city
authorities to take the necessary steps for
its suppression. Mr.. Bond himself refus ed
TO take any part 10 tbs procession, and in
view of the terrible and bloody consequences
which he predicted, the Superintendent of
Police issued his order. AS the guardian
of life and property and the pressrver of the
public peace could he have done less? His
mistake was in afterwards revoking the order
and thus rendering it absolutely NECESSARY
for Governor Hoffman to issue his proclama-
tion. IF John 7. Hoffman had not issued
that proclamation. no man can now conceive
the extent of the appalling aud bloody scenes
that would surely have followed. What
unfortunately did occur. would have been
mere ehild's play when compared with the
dread reality. In view of this letter and its
solemn warning, how supremely ridicul GUS
is the stereotyped can't about the so-cal lied
sacred right Of parade.

ERRATA.-In the communication of Sol
tero," published on our first page, portion
of the quotation from st. Paul in regard to
cslibacy has been inadvertently omitted,
thus rendering tho meaning of the quotation
very inexplicable. to say the least. The en-
tire text, as written aud as 1t should have
been printed, reads thus: He that is with
out a wife is sollcitous about the things of
the Lord, how he may please God j. but he
that is with a wife is solicitous about the
things Of the world. how he may please his
wife, and he is divided"

In obedisncs to the call Of the chairman
of the county committee, the democra tic
county convention met in the court room on
last Monday afternoon. A full report of the
proceedings will be- found elsewhere. The
convention was full one. every election dis
trict in the county being represented. The
utmost harmony marked all its deliberations,
and in that respect 1t will compare to great
advantage with many similar gatherings that
have preceded 1t. The ticket placed In nom
ination will be found at our masthead, and
We think we hazard nothing in saying that
it meets with general appreciation from the
democracy of the county. A vast majority
Of ths aspirants, together with their respect
i've friends, were of course disappointed at
the decision arrived at, but this has necsssa-
rily been the case heretofore and will continue
to be hereafter. 1t is simply the inevitable
result Of all nominating conventions. The
democracy of Cambria are deeply impressed
with the great impor tance to be attached to
the result of the present political campaign
in Pennsylvania, and will do their part 10
aiding to achieve a victory that will rescue
the Keystone State from the mire of radical
ism and restore her to the proud political
position she occupied during the better and
purer days of the republic.

The Indianapolis Sentinel says: ga
farmer was decapitated by a moving ma
chine with which he was AT work on his
premises. near Southport. on the 18th inst.
At the time OF the accident. the farmer was
examining some portion of the machinery
which had got out Of gear, when the horses
attached suddenly started. causing the
blades to revolvs, one of them striking the
man in the back of the neck, severing the
head from the body as though guillotined.
a youthful sor of the deceased witnessed
the terrible accident, and, dumb with hor~
ror. grasped the head by the hair, and ran
with it into his mothers presence"

The FATB OF A RICH AND "REsPECTA-
BILE" MURDERER.-Last March the Hon.
Noah james, a wealthy resident of Dod-
Gndge county, Va, gave one of his labor
ers. named Owens, $25. and lent him $50
besides. on condition that he would kill a
neighbor named Rogers, with whom James
had long been at enmity. A short time
afterward, Owens, sesing Rogers coming
along the road toward James house. told
his employer of the fact, and the two men
then waylaid Rogers and murdered him,
James giving him ono shot with gnu, and
Owens another shot with a pistol. Owens
was indicted for the murder, and James was
active in procuring his conviction He was
convicted, and sentenced to the State Pris-
on for life bat suspicion having been fas>
tened upon James, Owens was not transferred
to the State Prison until few days ago, he
being kept in Jail in the hope that he would
confess. He made no confession, however,
until the walls of the Penitentiary closed up
on him for life. Then his nerves failed him
and he told the whole story as we have
given it above. He also said that James
promised to stand by him, and get him off.
Measures were at once taken to arrest James,
but hearing of Ovens confession, he went
home, eat his dinner, took his gun, went out
by little brook, pulled off his boot aud
sock, placed the muzzle of the rifle to his eve.
and with his toes pulled the trigger and shot
himsef through the brain. His wife, hear
ing the report Of the gun, sent her little
daughter out to see what had been shot. In
few minutes the child came running back.
her face white with terror. and told her
mother that 'Pa was killed" Mrs. James
raised en alarm and rushed 20 the spot,
where the corpse of her husband, with the
rifle clutched in one hand was lying. And
thus the wretched man escaped. by sells
destruction, the shame of public trial and
execution.

The death of Miss sabina de Iturbide

The death of Miss Sabina de Iturbide,
in Philadelphia. on Monday last, is announc-
ed. Her death recalls the fate of her father,
the first Emperor of Mexico. who was put
to death in that unhappy country by the
party who overturned his government
Since that time the family have resided
principally In the United States. Ono of
the Emperor's sons was afterwards in the
service of Louis Napoleon; he then united
his fortunes with the ill fated Maximilian,
and came very near meeting the fate of the
Emperor, his father. The family have
always clung to the hope that one day they
may be restored to their former legal posi-
ton.

Portions of Maine. New Hampsbire

Portions of Maine, New Hampshire,
and Massachusetts, were visited on Thursday
last by an earthquake. The towns of Port
land, Saco, Biddeford, Brunswick, Ports,
mouth, and Concord 'were shaken by the
internal convplsoEs, the wave of which pass
ed from North to South. accompanied with
a deep rumbing sound. Buildings were
rocked, church bells rung, and much dam
age done to property. The earthquake seems
to have been general in all the States named,
but not to have extended beyond their limits.
Some years ago such occurrences were rare
East of the Mississippi river. But within
the last ten years they have increased both
In frequency, severity. and duration.

THE PoPz.-The Pope. though so ad-
vanced in years, is said to be most excel
lent singer and most eloquent orator, hav-
ing retained all the depth. richuess aud
sweetness of his voice, aud speaking to-day
as sweetly and sonorously as he did in the
fullness Of his youth. His admirers sincere
ly regret that he SO very rarely breaches or
chants the mass doing the latter on Christ
mas day and Easter Sunday. A Roman let
ter says that for years he has been expecting
to be assassinated; that he has had a pre-
sentiment he would be slain in the ,,"City of
of the Soul" and that lie really covets
martyrdom in the church; believing that it
would be fitting close to his stormy and
troubled career, and insure the canonization
for which ne has longed more than for any
earthly honor.
