THE Conservative in it's endeavor to
fasten the lie upon S. J. W. T. says:
For instance, he says that no Repub-
lican paper Of influence supports Greeley.
On the contrary, the most influential pa
pers in the country do support him.
Witness Chicago Tribune, New York
Tribune, New York San and Springfield
Republican, all leading papers of the
country"
In the succeeding sentence, in the arti-
Gle of S. ]. w. T. to the one above refer
red to, the writer makes an exception of
the New York Tribune, in the charge
that no Republican paper of influence
and ability supports Greeley, SO it may
be counted out. Now let us examine the
other papers mentioned above. The Chi
cago Tribune has not been in full accord
with the Republican party for at least
two years, and has been found opposing
the candidates and Conforming the prin-
ciples of that party fully as often as sup
porting them. 1t long ago lost all
character as it assuredly lost influence as
Republican paper. The New York
Sun is simply satanic sheet, with all the
indecency and not 1.-THE of the ability
of the New York Herald Whatever it
may profess for the moment, it has no
standing or influence as Republican
paper. The Springfield Republican is
paper of responsibility and influence, and
supporter Of Greeley, bat it is avowed-
ly an independent journal, owing allie
glance to no party and bound by the
action of none, and 80 it's allegiance to
Greeley is not detection from the Re
publican organization. So the assertion
of s. j. w. r. stands good, that the
"Grecley movement is not supported by
any Republican papers Of influence and
ability" except the New York Tribune,
the editor of which is Horace Greeley
himself

COMPLEMENTARY hastily written

in the BULLETIN last week, seems to have
found favor in the judgment of some of

it with the satisfaction of knowing that
it was not distorted to induce immigra-

TIE CRoPs.-Reports from every sec
ton Of the country represent the crops
as in excellent condition. Small grains
are generally rank growth of straw, but
the heads are large and filling out finely
The severe storm Of Wednesday Of last
week did some damage in knocking down
grain, but much Of it has recovered, and
no great loss will probably result. Corn
is making the most rapid strides, and un-
less it receives an extraordinary set back,
will probably not come short of last
years crop. Potatoes also, are doin.
finely and are rot so much troubled with
bugs AS in former years.

BURGLARy-We are indebted to our
friend P. p Schemerhorn. of Hazleton,
for the particulars of the robbery of the
post Office in that place, on Wednesday
night. The office is kept in the store of c.
Weitman, who is the postmaster, and tn e
burglars effected an entrance by breaking
in a door in the rear, which has been for
some time in disuse and nailed up. Once
in, they seem to have very coolly lighted a
lamp and proceeded to separate the torn
and defaced currency in the post Office
drawer from the good: leaving the former
and taking the latter, some $25 in
amount They also took silver watch
belonging to Mr. Weitman, worth $40
or $l5, but nothing else about the store
seems to have been disturbed. No clue
to the rascals had been discovered at last
accounts.

THE Conservative has taken to aping
the manners of its candidate for the
Presidency, and in its issue of this week
coarsely assails S. j. W. T, the author of
an article in the BULLETIN of last week,
as liar. It does not content itself with
the effort to contradict the statements of
the article, but charges broadly that the
writer ''is much given to lying The
above initials are those of gentleman
we'll known in this vicinity and one
whose reputation for veracity needs no
vindication at our hands. 1t will be suf
ficient to dismiss the vindictive assault
upon it by the single remark that it will
suffer nothing by comparison with that
of any or all who thus choose to meet
argument by epithets.
But the ungentlemanly aspersion of the
Conservative comes with very bad grace
from paper which for the purpose Of
effect makes the unblushing statement
that there are not less than 800 Greeley
Republicans in Buchanan county. The
Conservative knows that it cannot name
one sixth of that number of Republicans
in this county who will vote for Greeley;
and it furthermore knows that every one
who makes avowal of such preference
can be duplicated by Democrat who
would not touch Horace Greeley with
en-foot pole Verify, those who give the
lie SO fippantly should observe little
more circumspeCtion in their own state
mentS.

THE RA1LRoAD.-The West Union Ga
zette is informed that track-laying on the
B. C. r. & M. road was to have been
commenced at Fostville last Friday, guam
titles of iron and ties being in waiting
for the completion Of the grading. South
of this city we learn that grading is in
progress on almost every mile of the line,
and it is not unlikely that the laying of the
iron will soon commence on the south
end of the road. II is the present inten-
ton Of the company to have the entire
line completed before the State Fair in
September. It will certainly be finished
to this city and our people privileged
TO visit the Fair and return the same
day.
One of our citizens who has been
spending few days in West Union sends
us the following sketch of one of the
celebrities Of that place:
Among the Inhabitants Of this little
city is girl, whose age is about four
teen, who, in accordance with her own
peculiaritics, prefers to wear the garb Of
the male sex, rather than that proper
for her own. She wears a boys hat, has
her hair cut short and parted on the side,
does all the work of man, cuts wood,
&c, and, judging from her appearance,
is rs stout and robust as any boy. She
prefers to associate with the boys, and
they have recently elected her captain
of base ball club. She is brick, and
knows her "biz."

The Conservative gives the following

Its publication in the Conservative gives
color to the charge of some of his party
friends, that its editor is really engaged in
an effort to bury the old party out of
sight

Democratic Prayer, to Horace
Greeley.

We will go to Greeley though his sins,
Hath like mountain rose,
Well seek his courts, we'll enter in
What ever may oppose.
Greeley wants no towards in his bands
That will their colOrs fly;
lie calls for valient hearted men
That's not afraid to die.
Frustrated we'll fall before his throne
And there our guilt confess;
Wen tell him we are wretches undone
Without his sovereign grace.
Perhaps he will admit our plea,
Perhaps he will hear our prayer;
But if we perish we will pray
And perish only there.
We can but perish If we go,
We are resolved to try;
For il we stay away we know
We shall forever die.
