kinds of fish suitable for stocking our

came amount being appropriated by the
Sta-e of New jersey" That State has
appropriated the specified amount. Gov
ernor Geary, however, has not signed
the bill. 1t would be perfectly proper
to circulate petitions in favor of His ex-

swept over Columbia on Thursday night,
and demolished the new market house,
which was about finished. The creates,
damage was in Chester, where sixty two
houses were entirely destroyed and
others damaged. Nobody was killed,
but four colored persons were injured by
falling houses. Miles of fencing were
blown down and thousands of large fruit
trees were torn up by the roots. The
total loss in Chester is $4,000, mostly
falling on persons of small means. A
meeting was held in Chester to-day, snd
steps taken to relieve the sufferers. The
tornado moved westwardly, and was Of

The Republicans who are engineering
a reason for their course, always fail of
giving good and reasonable one. The
ehief objection seems to be against the
appointments to office, which in many
cases were not good but then tho Pres.
ident certainly was not personally ac.
quainted with one in thousand of the
applicants for place. and of course was
governed by the recommendation of Con-

The course that Col. Forney's Press
has pursued in regard to the nominations
made by the late Republican State Con-
vention does not meet with approval in
the rural districts, however it may be
considered in the city. Last week the
Lewistown Gazette delivered itself as fol-
lows on the conduc. of Col Forney anc
his paper
Forney's Press, like old Granny
Greeley's New York Tribune, has been
playing some extraordinary pranks
lately. During the Gray Mcclure cleo
tion, it looked good deal as if the Press
was on a regular drunk, no living man
being able to tell two days at time
what or whom it was for. And now
Forney don't like Gen Hartranft,s nom
ination for Governor. We do not won
der much at this, for Gen. Hartranft
committed the objectionable sin of re-
fusing to pay hundreds of thousands of
dollars to Geo. .. Evans, the defaulter,
who had been strongly recommended for
the position he held by said John W.
Forney. Besides, it appears that a
nephew of Eorney's had a pick at Evans
stealings to the tune of 5000 or more,
and that Forney himself got $4,000 of
it! And then again the Republican
party could not or would not see that
'Forney wanted to be United States SEN
ator-all which. with other similar causes
where sundry Wormwoods were not rec
ognized, has caused the Press to turn
screhead. Fortunately. the city dailies
ale no longer power in the country as
they were years ago. People begin to
zee them as they are-trucklers to great
corporations, sycophants to patronage,
and adulators. of self, with reporters aud
correspondents who can outie the prince
of liars and after a little more exercise
of patience, the people will kick the
Presses, Tribuncs, and other vacillating
sheets out Of their road.
