Crawford County System.

The system of making nominations
by direct vote of the people, is the
fairest and most honorable which could
be adopted, because it represents the
true idea of Republicanism and self
government, and because, also the del
egate system is corrupt, debased by
bad men, and without a single feature
to commend it to the public confidence.
But whenever dishonest politicians hold
counties in their control, by the force
Of the delegate system, they have been
loud in declaring the Cawford county
system of making nominations by a
direct vote of the people, a failure, and
that the Republicans of Crawford Co.,
where the system originated, are
disgusted with its operations. This
plea has been tried hundred times in
this county when an effort has been
made to introduce the same system
here, Of course there is 10 truth in
the allegation, as is shown in a recent
election for the purpose Of testing in
Crawford county whether the mass of

tried for larceney was convicted and
sentenced to one years confinement in
the Penitentiary.
On Thursday morning Thos. L.
Waple was taken before Squire Porter
on the charge of placing Instructions
on the railroad track, and committed
to jail to await trial. 1t appears. that
Waple was, sometime since, discharged
from the employ of the road at
Wallaceton. Several times, since
NAPLES discharge, Instructions have
been discovered on the track at
various places, and suspicion fastened
to the latter. On Wednesday night
last, extra watchmen having been EN-
ployed, Waple was discovered in
placing something on the track, near
Wallaceton, where there is fill, with
high embankments on either eide.
When Waple found that he was dis
covered he attempted to escape by
fight, but ran right into the arms of
another watch. He was just one day
too late for trial at the last weeks
term of court, and will have to wait
until the September term. The
charge is a grave one, and he will, no
doubt, have to suffer the heavy penalty
which he richly deserves for his
fiendish attempt to wreak his petty
vengeance upon innocent and unsus-
pecting people.

1t makes q man staggar to read
the Cory Republican. Drunkenness
runs riot in that city, ana the city
Treasury appears to be reaping large
benefits from it. The following items
are samples of Cory local items:
Richard Steward was again arrested
Monday by Frank and Armstrong for
being drunk on the streets. He part
ed with FIVE dollars, and was then al
lowed to depart.
Considerable complaint is being
made in regard to the selling of liquor
on Sunday in this city. Our streets
were disgraced by the presence of al
together too many drunken men Sun
day last.
Richard Stewart, otherwise known
as "Dick," got so drunk Sunday that
Armstrong felt it his duty to "tote"
him on his back from First Avenue to
the Lookup. He squared up accounts
with the city the next moning and was
released.
One Richard Freaney was arrested
Sunday afternoon by officers McGraw
and Fulkerson. He was in heathen-
ish state of intoxication, and was max
ing quite a disturbance by his drunk
en- pranks. He was let off the next
morning upon payment of costs.
Major May discerned man at the
depot Tuesday who was apparently
trying to put an end to his existence
by running into a passing train. Mr..
May took him to the Lookup for safe
keeping, and he was released this
morning. He gives his name as Da-
vid Kenneth, of Misford, Pa. He
says he is trying to stop drinking, and
his conduct was caused by an attack
of delirium tremens.
Monday about o'clock p. M,
Policemen Frank described man w.
ing dead drunk on the A. & G. w. r.
r. He would doubtless have been
killed by the first passing train had he
not been discerned. He was taken to
the lookup, but afterwards discharged
upon payment of costs.
A man name Lester Lane was ar
rested Monday by Armstrong on the
charge of being drunk. He denied
the charge next morning, and stated
that he had taken only one drink dur
ing the day. The man had been bad
ly burned a railroad accident, and was
a pitiful object. After hearing he
was discharged.

We take the following from the
st. Mary's Gazette;
Some days ago as Mr.. Thomas
Tozier was crossing the "barrens" be-
tween this place and Caledonia, he
was suddenly brought to halt by a
couple of highwaymen, one of them
seizing the bride rein of his horse,
while the other demanded his money
with threat to put an end to him if
he did not hand over Immediately.
Mr.. Tozier at once assured them that
he did not have any money with him,
they then released their prisoner, and
he moved towards his journeys end,
while the lawless scoundrels probably
laid in wait for higher game.
On last Thursday evening, as a
party of men were leaving this place,
for their home, the end board of their
hack gave way, capsizing a keg OF
beer; they had not got far away when
they were notified of the fact, they
wheeled their team and back they
came, put their beer aboard and on
attempting to make the next turn at a
rapid speed, one of their party was
thrown from the hack, the front wheel
passed over his breast and the hind ole
over his neck. He was Immediately
placed back in the hack and the party
again started out Of town at fearful
rate. The man was pretty badly IN
jured, but we hear not fatally.

killed near Hadley's on last Saturday.
He was walking on the top of box

bridge and thrown under the train,
which passed over him and horribly
mangled his body. The unfortunate

HIGH HEELs.-Science, skill and care reduce
the sutferings of those compelled to undergo
surgical operations, to the lowest possible point.
But enough remains to frighten people from
paths the end of which is the operating table
and the surgeons knife. One of these paths,
which just now is filled with victims, is the
wearing of high-heeled boots by ladies and chill
dren. The practice is openly condemned by
learned surgeons, and DR.. William II. Pancoast
remarked the other day, after performing a pain
full operation on an interesting little girl whose
feet had been ruined by wearing wrongly con-
structed shoes ''this is the beginning of a large
harvest of such cases." And what else can be
eXpected2 Mothers walk the streets with heels
on their boots from two and half 10 three and
a half inches high, and not more than an inch in
diameter, and their daughters follow the same
bad and barbarons practice. In many cases
severe sprains of the ankles are suffered. But
these are not the worst fruits Of the high heel
torture. The toes are forced against the fore
part of the boot, and soon begin to assume un-
natural positions. In many cases they are actu-
ally dslocatsd In others the great toe passes
under the foot, the tendons harden in that posi-
ton and lamencss is contracted, for which there
| is no cure but the knife. When the injury does
| net take this form it assumes other aspects
almost as horrible and distressing. There
| are thousands of young girls tip-tOeing it along
| our streets to-day, who, in few years, will be
cripples if their parents do not interfere and re-
| move the cause. We will have race of women
| almost as helpless, so far as walking is con-
cerned, as those of China. We condemn the
practice of confirming the feet of Chinese children
| in wooden Shoes and yet that practice is no
more injurious TO the feet than forcing them in
| to a small boot with an Alpine heel. This is a
matter of grave and serious import, and hence
| we press it upon the mothers and fathers OF tue
land. If they would not feed the surgical hos
pitfalls, aud have groups of MANNED daughters
| IN tnelr homes, they must commence crusade
| upon high heels. No father should have high
heeled boots in his house. any more than he
would keep vicious dog in the parlor. When
skliliul surgeons, like DIR. Pancoast, from the
operatlng-room, raise their voices against high
heeleu Doots, i Is time for young ladies to pause
] and listen. At this period thew can choose be.
tween high heels and the operating knife. In q
| short time II may be the latter or permanent
