think his bailing of Mr.. Jefferson
Davis was highly proper thing for
him to do. 1t may be reasonably
doubted whether the people of this
country are yet prepared to elect a
President on such platform. Nor is it
perceived how our German adopted
citizens can forget Mr. Greeley s
"fanaticism," as they have always
styled his course concerning many
things they deem essential, and accept
him as their standard bearer. 1t is
true that Carl Schurz, the necessities
of whose position just now are mani.
fest, may perceive in Mr.. Greeley
everything a German should admire I;
but Carl Schurz has own glasses, and
few will perceive things in this regard
as he does.
The nomination of Mr.. B. Gratz
Brown for Vice President developed
the bargain whereby this Convention
of "Reformers" was controlled aud
finally sold out. Under the circum-
stances it was the most proper thing
to do. No wonder that the leading
men of the Convention at once de-
nounced the ticket and refused to be
bound. Such an explosion was the
necessary consequence of the proceed
ing, and the feeling of digust and the
instant reputation of the whole con.
cern which followed the nominations
will prevail everywhere as the news
spread abroad.
The platform on which the candi-
dates have been placed is perfectly
harmless for anything 1t says. Moth
ing is proclaimed that Republicans
everywhere do not proclaim; but the
omission of any allusion to the sub
ject of the tariff, the sinking utterly of
the question of protection or free tarde,
which is one of the greatest questions
of the day, and in regard to which the
Convention itself felt more deeply
than on any other, was an exhibition
of cowardice which will receive but
one Interpretation, to wit: that the
persons composing the Convention
were ready for any course without re-
gard to principles. AS a whole, so
far as we are able to understand it at
the present writing, the Cincinnati
Convention must be regarded as one
of the latest novelties of perfectly
harmless character in our politics.

We take the following from the
Court proceedings in the Venango
Spectator of last week Our readers
will remember our having published
the facts at the time of the murder:
Edwin Stoeber-Indicted for the
murder of Robert Gibson at Rynd
farm on the 4th of last March. The
jury found a verdict of guilty of vol
uutary manslaughter. Sentenced to
six months in county Jail and to pay
a fine of 81.
This is one of saddest cases ever
tried in Venango county. Edwin
Stoeber and Robert Gibson were both
attending the same school, and both
we're between IL and 1S years of age.
The fatal affair occurred just after the
afternoon session of school. From the
evidence in the case-which is too
voluminous for us to publish--it APP
pears that Stoeber asked Gibson for
some black ink during the school
hours, and that some fippant words
passed between the two, which result
ed in an odious epithet from Gibson
and a threat to whip Stoeber after
school was over. When the school
was out Gibson went out first and
Stoeber followed. Gibson called upon
Stoeber to fight, which Stoeber de-
clined. This was repeated two or
three times, when Gibson struck Stoe-
Der, clinched with him and threw him
to the ground. While Stoeber was in
this position he took from his pocket
knife-which he had borrowed to
sharpen his pencil-and stabbed his
assailant two or three times in the leg
near the thigh and once in the arm.
Gibson got up and said "Pm killed"
and as Stoeber was getting up, kicked
him in the face. Stoeber, as soon as
he got to his feet, started on run for
home, Gibson following for a short dis
tance when he tainted from loss of
blood. He died in few days. Stoe-
Der is said to be a quiet, inoffensive
boy. He was endeavoring to get an
education in English, being already
fairly educated in his native tongue
German-and after working from mid
night until noon at running an engine
would attend the afternoon session of
the Rynd farm school,

A Truant Husband.

On Wednesday lady, residing in
Massachusetts,, arrived in this city ac-
companied by her daughter, a young
lady, in search of the husband and
father. The lady is about fifty years
of age and has the appearance of re-
fnement. She stated that she resides
at North Adams, Massachusetts, and
that her husband left his home seven
years ago with the avowed purpose of
visiting the West and thereby better
ing his fortune; that until recently
she had heard nothing from him direct.
ly, although she had received intelli-
gence which led her to believe that he
was in the oil region. Not long since
she was advised that he had married
and was living near Rouseville. She
accordingly started on this informa-
ton, determined to find her recreant
lord and compel a recognition of his
former VOWS. Upon arriving at Oil
City she notified the Mayor, who sent
CLief Furlong to Rouseville, where he
had no difficulty in finding his man.
Upon being tod the cause of his ar
rest, the fine old Mormon expressed
great surprise, and particularly
requested that the officer, should not
let his wife know the trne object of his
visit. The old "seed" is married to a
Butler county girl of twenty-five years
and apparently we'll fixed in his Rouse
vile barem, although his lawful wife
and family of six children have been
sufferers throughout all these years,
for the want Of the common necessa-
ries of life.
The model husband and father was
brought face to face with his deserted
wife and daughter, in the Office of the
Justica, for the first time in seven
years, and the exchange of the frater-
nal sentiment was anything but indie
ative of joy at the reunion. The re-
creant husband and wronged wife
merely went through the formality Of
hand shaking, but the daughter turn
ed from the proffered hand and even
refused to recognize him who, of all
others, should have had claim upon
her affection, but who had so basely
forfeited his right even to respectable
treatment. The young lady remarked
that she had not forgotten her own
and her mothers trials, during the
years of their desertion, in supporting
the family, and only consented to ac-
company her mother for the purpose
of obtaining pecuniary reparation.
An arrangement was finally made by
which the wife received two hundred
and forty dollars "spot cash" with his
obligations amounting to two thousand
dollars, to be paid in instalments. 1t
is but justice to the second wife to say
that she was ignorant of the existence
of the first one as the representation
had been made to her that a divorce
had been obtained.-OH City Derrick.

The following original method OF
reforming we take from the Union
Times. If this won't work, we don't
know what will:
Mr.. C. McDole would take this op-
portunity Of informing all hotel and
saloon keepers and wholesale liquor
dealers not to sell him any spurious
or malt liquors. either by the drink,
pint or quart, at no time or place. We
hope all parties will endeavor to heed
this notice, and whenever Mr.. McDole
calls for anything to drink, they will
refuse him. He is his own worst enc,
my, and whenever he gets one drink
he loses all control over his appetite
He takes this course of warning all lC
forbid him, under any and all circum
stances, where a man has an appetite
for strong drink. The example Mr.
McDole has set would be we'll for al
to follow.

The gent leman who delivered the
temperance lecture, Saturday night
last, in Steele's School House, near
Miller's Eddy, folded his tent and left
completely disgusted with the success
Of his effort. We did not learn his
name, but have strong convictions that
it wasn't Cough. The audience was
not large, but there was no discount
on its enthusiasm. The worst possible
sort of interruptions and unkind and
cruel criticism on his style, did not
seem to discomfort the speaker, and
he hung to the thread of his discourse
until he had said his piece to the end.
Then the hat was passed around. and
the liberality and lavishness of that
audience was something wonderful
when the pile was accumulated and
counted, it footed up twenty cents ex-
actly. Too much for one drink of
Parker whisky, and not enough for
two.-East Brady Independent.
PARKER's LANDING, April 2S.
About midhight last night team
owned by Mr.. Joseph Steele, of this
place, was driven to the ferry, the boat
being on the opposite side of the river.
The driver, who was drunk at the
time, concluded he would not wait for
the boat and drove into the water. The
horses were both drowned, but unfor-
tunately the driver narrowly escaped
with his life.
The wagon contained the extensive
and valuable wardrobe of Mile. Fon-
tainebleau, the celebrated female gym
mast, who had just closed an engage
ment at Spencer's Opera House. Have
not heard whether it has been recover
ed yet or not. Another case of indi-
rect damages by whisky.-OH City
Times.
Mr.. Mitchell, the contractor on
this division of the Warren & Venan-
go Railroad, is pushing the grading
ahead as fast as possible. He informs
us that sufficient iron for laying the
track from Warren to Titusville has
been purchased, and track laying has
already commenced at the Warren
end of the route. The stone for build
the piers of the bridge over the Creek
at Columbia farm are nearly ready,
and the lumber for the trestle work
will soon be en- the ground. Not
many months more will elapse ere the
pleasant sound of locomotives whistle
on the Warren q Venango Railroad
will be heard echoing and re-eching
through the valley of Oil Creek.-Pet.

The pipe of the Cleveland Pipe
Company was yesterday broken at
Fagundas, by the falling of tree.
Owing tc the absence of the telegraph
operator, it was impossible to ascertain
whether the oil was running all right,
and when he got around he could not
"call' Trunkeyville. The consequence
was that about one hundred and sew
en- barrels was run out on the ground.
The next time the company want to
run oil they will undoubtedly look up

were still in Council Bluffs Jail, awaiting
the action of the betrayed husband, Tran
mer, before examination. He was at work
on the Union Pacific road, hundred miles
west of Omaha, when the guilty couple
were in limbo here. The Nonpdriel says
Strong and Mrs. TANNER have been search.
ed, but mo money was found with them,
though it is pretty certain they have 500
left" The aurmise as TO the amount OF
money is probably incorrect. Strong bought
out saloon in Rock Island with the stolen
money, bought new furniture, and has been
put to q great deal of expensive trouble
since he was unearthed. TANNER has an.
