Chairman

ssg~ A FEW weeks ago friend Neiman Of
the Easton Sentinel waded into Congress
man Storm, because he voted for a bill max
ing education, throughout the States, a sub
ject for National cognizance and supervision.
Last week Congressman Storm, in shape OF
y letter, appeared in the columns of the
Sentinel defnitive and apologetic OF hls vote.
Now stop that John. The people are salts
fed with your vote Stick to your legitimate
Congressional business, and we can assure
you that if all your votes turn out as that one
promises to, you will lose no friends by them.
The fact is that though Daniel does not
ike the idea Of educating the masses, he
docs not care a ''cuss' about the way you
vote John; but he does care about getting
you to write letters Of explanation, and thus
drawing you in to an ambuscade. Iou see,
John, there is plan concoctlng to scalp you
prio to the next Congressional nomination,
and Daniel is but the little ''Jugler" sent
out to do the dirty work of the ''big ones.
If they get you to writing letters, the big
fcllcrs,' feel that their work is more than
half accomplished, and they viii keep Daniel
at work until, by your own weapons, which
you will thus be placing in their hands, your
flint will have been fixed.
You see how it is your self John. !"
Convincing as your note in the Seminal OF
last week was, to every honest Democrat
who read it, it did not satisfy Daniel, nor
his aiders and abettors, or rather boosters in
the dirty work, in that place, this and tother
Your justification, as Democratic argument
was perpect. You had merely followed where
leading Constitution -it-was loving Demo
Gratis led the way But Daniel and the Big
Ingins'' were not satisfied. They don't want
the educational interests Of the country made
a matter for national supervision, because
that would be centralizatoin. They don't
care about this, particularly, but they do
want to lick John b. Storm in the next Con
gressional fight. They oppose your vote IN
favor of the National School law to draw
from you letters with which they hope to
break your neck They would favor the
the School Law for which you voted, centra-
Ezation and all, if they hoped by that means
to accomplish the same object.
Now Mr.. Congressman, their drift is plain.
Don't let them succeed in accomplishing it.
No matter what Daniel may say, or what
any one else may say. Let them sQuib,
snap, and snarl to their hearts content but
if you have any desire for a denomination and
election, or # you have the least idea of
maintaining your manhood, vote as you
please; under the lead of the leaders, or in
dependent Of that lead but don t, for hea-
yen's sake, allow any thing Neiman may say
to draw you into the folly of explanatory or
apologetic letter writing. You are not of US
or with US John, but we could not help Civ
ing you this much of ADVICE and we do it
without hope or desire of fee or reward.

Condurango not a Cure for Cancer.

After a heightened trial of this drug IN
the cancer wards ofthc Middlesex llsoPI'
tai, the surgeons at that institution, M
De Morgan and Mr. IIulke, who carried
out the investigation, have arrived, the
BRITISH Medical Journal says, at the con
cluSion that condurangO has no effect
whatever on cancer. At the meeting OF
the Clinical Society Of London, on the
9th inst, papers were read by these lSO
gentlemen On this subject, in which they
distinctly stated that not one single lndI,
cation of Improvement had been observed
in any of the cases treated by this alleged
remedy. In fact, the disease either T'n
its usual course, or the patient shoWst
symptoms of arrangement of system whI'A
might fairly be attributed to the drug
Mr.. De Morgan alluded to the iat'

For the Jefersonian.

For the Jeierso man.
Mr. EDITOR We had the pleasure of see
ing, to day, original letter written, by the
Father of his Country, the illustrious Washing
ton to a Mr.. Slough, at that time residing al
Lancaster, Pa, asking Mr. S. to purchase two
horses for him, TO convey the General and
family from FhiPa TO Mount Vernon, on his
retirement from the Presidency in 1877. This
letter is in possession of Henry Snyder
Esqr., of Reading, Pa. Mr.. Snyder is rela-
tive Of the late Hon. Simon Snyder, once Gov
erner of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Slough wa:
Mr.. Henry Snyder's grand fathers brother-in-
law; so there can be no doubt ofits authenticity
The letter is written in Washington's usual
plain, legibie hand and carefully punctuated.
1t is proper to say that no money would III
dnce Mr. Snyder to part with it; and whilst VIC
read it, we felt spirit of vencration creeping
over US, which led us to take copy of the let
ter which reads as follows:
PHILADELPHIA, 9th February 1897.
DEAR SIR:-The 3rd of March which is fast
approaching, will put an end to my political
career; and shall have another to commence
through mud and mire, TO reach more tranquil
scenes at Mount Vernon. This l shall do
without delay, or attempt at least be the roads
in what condition they may, at that time.
To enable me to accept this journey, with
such baggage as l do not incline to risk by
water l shall want pair ofstrong horses that
are true and steady to the draught, for wag-
gon lighter than a Coachee, 10 carry some
trunks mot heavy at the rate we shall travel,
which must be slow.
Would you oblige me so far as 10 make this
purchase, and to have the horses in this city
by the first day of March ?-.I shall prefer
Mares, and wish them to be matched in (any)
color. They ought not TO exceed six, or al
any rate seven years old next spring, nor
ought they to be under fifteen hands high,-as
they will be put to the Plough or Wagon,
after ! get home, / should prefer cheapness
to appearance, and the reason why mention
mares instead of Geldings, is, tliat Mules may
be bred from them afterwards but | must
take either.
Be so good as to let me know without delay,
VI CdIlliOij CERTAIN
ence on you for the purchase and on having
them here by the time before mentioned.
The money shall be paid ON delivery, or
if required, shall be sent to you before, for the
purpose of instant payment.
wlll offer no apology for giving you this
trouble, because l persuade myself you are
disposed TO serve me in it.
With esteem / am
Dear Sir
Your Obt Servt.
GEO. WAsHNGToY.
T. Set me request, the favor of YOU to
have the steadiness of the horses to the drauobt
proved, before they are sent here for to be

Such indeed, were the preparations for
journey from Philadelphia to Mount Vernon
in 1877, requiring days of tedious travel to per-
form it, but which now can be ACCOMPLISHED

Newton Falls Items.

Last Friday evening, about 10 o'clock,
Levi Ramalia, a lumber dealer, residing
on the east side of the river, was called
out Of his house by some person or per-
sons, and on his approach to the fence
was seized, gagged and robbed of his
pocket book, containing 1928, besides
valuable papers. Being deal, he was in
the habit of putting his ear close to any
who wished to speak to him, and this
fact was taken advantage of by the rob-
bers, who knew no doubt of this pecu-
liarity. No trace of the perpetrators of
this outrage has yet been found. There
are not wanting some who are slow to
believe all the above statements, but
that he had a large amount OF money
is well known to many, and that he
always carried what funds he had on his
person, was also well known, and if he
has indeed been robbed he owes it to the
absurd habit he had of not only carrying
his money with him at all times, but OF
ostentstiously showing it on all occa-
sions.
A new omnibus line started yesterday
between our village and Lesvittsburgh,
designed to meet morning and evening
trains from both directions on both
roads. Passengers governing them
selves accordingly will find themselves
very well accommodated on this route,
which connects us with every train on
the A. q G. w, broad and narrow.
A call for a meeting to form a Grant
and Wilson Club last Tuesday evening,
met with a hearty response. A large
number being in attendance, a commit
tee to draft constitution was appointed.
A paper was circulated for names and
the meeting adjourned to Friday night,
when the formation will be completed.
Our village will soon be sidewalked in
a thorough manner, the trustees having
ordered in the aggregate abouttwo miles
laid down within GO days. This improve
ment is very much needed aud will add
much to the appearance OF our other
wise beautiful village. Many improve
ments are needed and are being planned,
but it is as true now as in olden times
that Rome was not built in a day, and
we contain ourselves in patience, thank.
fully receiving the goods the gods pro-
vide. OBSERVER.

District School Picn;,.

We met or August 1st, in the pleasant
shady door yard Of Mr.. David Allen, in
Gustavus, with the teacher OF District
Nc. 8, Miss NJ. L. Young, her scholars
and patrons. The exercises consisted Of
singing, dialogues and declarations, all
very creditable for young scholars.
Miss Young is highly spoken OF as a
teacher. The time passed off pleasantly
amid the hum Of merry voices, until
the order was given to surround the
table. AT this point the voices ceased
and each one seemed to relish the pro-
visions that were passed by the COM
mittee from a richly loaded table; after
which the scholars received the rewards
from their teacher. The children then
took an affectionate farewell Of their
much loved instructor. A slight acci.
dent happened to Miss Eva Strickland,
who was on a swing suspended some
twelve feet from the ground. The chain
broke and threw her against a board
fence, striking her face, but inficting
no serious injuries. SPECTATOR.
