REMOVED TO PITTsBuRGH.-We regret
to learn that one of our most enterprising
German citizens, George Schcllhause, the
ice dealer, has sold out and is about to re.
move to Pittsburgh. Mr.. Schellhause was
one Of the pioneers in the business of fur.
nishing the city with pure ice, in which he
has been engaged near twenty years. In
that time he has accumulated q handsome
competency and what is more, has won
the esteem Of our people by his uniform
lair dealing: and his aminblc qualities.
Mr.. Schellhause goesio Pittsburgh to en-
gage in the spice business, and takes with
him the good wishes of his numerous
friends here.

Tho County Meeting,

At New Castle on Saturday, was one OF the most
satisfactory and encouraging assembages OF the
Democratic Party that ever took place at the be-
ginning of the campaign within our remembrance
It was large respectable and earnest.
1t was called in the spirit and upon the plat
form adopted at the same place two years pre-
vlous. and we congratulate the late County
Chairman, DIR. SwITHIN CHANDLER. upon the
TACT that the response to his call was so full
and SO encouraging of success in November In
point OF numbers the meeting excelled that OF
MAY 1870 fully two to one. All that Is necessary

not cheated out OF their votes driven from the

UNBLEsT MERCIEs.-GOd hath caused the
san to rise DO h upon the just and upon the
unjust, but it is to the just alone that the
beauty of his rising wont to bring cheerful
ness OF countenance and gladness OF heart. In
the same manner do all the mercies of benev-
oIent Providence fall un5lest upon the heads
and hearts of the unrighteous and to him that
eateth his bread in the bitterness of spirit
wounded with the recollection Of unfOrgven
offenses, it will neither give strength to the
body nor peace to the mind. From the sup
ply OF those temporal wants which are neces-
sary to our being, our Saviour, therefore,
pasles forward to the consideration of those
spiritual wants which are essential to our we'll
being in every state. "FOrgive Us our tres
passes, " is the natural language which he die
tates to every sinner upon earth, because With
out the forgiveness of Heaven all other petit
tons. even if granted, will be of little avail
for the purposes of inward and permanent

Consistency.

One of the most frequent charges made
against Horace Greeley, by those opposed to
the position he has taken in the present
Campaign, is, that he has said some hard
things about the Democratic party and its
old leaders. Consequently that it shows
great inconsistency for him now to be a
candidate for Office on a platform which
is endorsed by that party.
To prove this charge they bring forward
extracts from the Tribune AS general
rule those who hunt old newspaper files
from which to condemn the editor, 90 so
because they lack other arguments, to COM
bat those brought against them. He is
put against himself because his opponents
lack brains to say good original thing
But why charge a man with inconsis-
tency because he expresses opinions at
variance with those formerly uttered To
say that man holds the same opinions in
this progressive age that he did years ago,
is to say that he lives in the wrong genera
ton; that he learns nothing from his expe-
rience, or is one of those egotstical fellows
who hold that thing is right because he
once said so, regardless of the changes that
may have taken place since the opinion
was expressed.
1t is well known by every intelligent
man, that the points of difference that at
one time separated Democrats and Re-
publicans no longer exist. They have pass
ed into history, and it is worse than foolish
1t is a crims-to insist on placing men in
Office who refuse to recog nize this fact
II is because Mr.. Greeley recognizes the
fact that the old land marks are gone, and
that new route must be taken for the
future, that so many men in all parts of
the country regardless of former political
proclivities are rallying to his support.

NV sterious Death.

The Philadelphia Age of the 10th inst,
says; just before dusk yesterday after
noon, a man, name and residence unknown,
got out of a passenger car at Eighth and
Wood streets, and just as he left the plat
form it was noticed that he fell in the street.
But little was thought of it at the moment
by those who saw him fall as it was be-
lieved that his foot had caught on the step
and made him lose his balance. He arose
and walked towards the pavement, and
just after reaching the latter, he dropped
down suddenly as though stunned, by a
heavy blow. Some bystanders advanced
to pick him up, when it was found that he
was dead. sE.
AS nobody knew him, preparations were
made to have the body taken to the Morgue,
when it was noticed that the face and as
much of the naked body as was visible had
turned black.
An inquest in the case will be held to-day
when the cause Of this singular death will
be investigated.
