The importance of sending true and
tried men to the Legislature cannot be
questioned a moment. ThorC is sc
much fraud and corruption there, sc
many swindling methods of forcing
legislation, that integrity, and constant
vigilance alone can defeat it. Many
excellent men have already been re.
nominated, and some few "pinchers''
and "roosters." Indirectly we learn
that the people of Lohigh County are
endeavoring to induce Hon. Adam
Woolever, their late Representative to
be candidate for renomination. We
trust that he willnot decline, and that his
constituents will recognize his great
merit and return him with an increased
majority. lie always held font rank

elected, Lehigh would have faithful

Geld and Silver Found In Paying Guam
titles IN LuZerne County, Pa.

We are glad to be able to furnish the
information that valuable discoveries
of gold and silver have been made in
Luzerne county, The Plymouth Star
gives the following facts
1.-The report that silver had been
discovered in Union township, between
Hunlock's creek and Shickshinup, and
in quantity TO pay for mining, was 1e-
ceived with ridicule by many, as it has
been generally supposed that where
coal abounds on other mineral is found.
These doubling ones begin to rub their
eyes now when the ore is produced ill
quantity sufficient to satisfy anyone
that 1T is really obtained on the spot
indicated, and when they find that the
officers of the United States Mint at
Philadelphia have pronounced the
mineral to be silver. To satisfy the
skeptical, ton of the quartz was sent
to the mill and reduced, and we have
seen the letter from Mr. Brooks the re-
Queer and retinar, in which he says
that the ton of quartz yielded fourteen
hundred and forty-one dollars and
ninety-eight cents worth of silver and
gold (the gold, of course, forming a
small proportion of the value). Now
that it is known that the gentlemen
concerned in the exploration have dis
covered the precious metal beyond the
shadow of doubt, company is to be
formed, and machinery for crushing
and refining the ore will be placed in
position at no distant day. The gen
tlemen concerned in the enterprise are
men of standing in the community,
whose characters assure the public that
there is no deception or fraud about
the matter"

BORDER PASTIMES.

The Kansas City Times says:

The Kansas City Times says:
On Tuesday morning last a party of
our prominent citizens availed them
selves of an invitation extended by
Superintendent G. H. Nettleton, of the
A. L. Il 5. L. r. r., to take little
hunting excursion to Fort Dodge, about
three hundred and fifty miles from
this city. The party proceeded via the
Kansas Pacific to Topeka, Kansas,
where they were switched off and start.
ed down the Santa Fe Railroad, reach
ing Fort Dodge the following night.
There they met with the terrific
northwestern storm, which has
swept the country during the
past week. The country around
Fort Dodge was perfectly black
with buffalo. They had run before the
driving storm TO the Arkansas river,
which being frozen over and very slip
perry they refused to cross. The herds
accumulated by thousands until every
bond by the river became gorged with
the black moving mass of bufialoes.
The Kansas City party shot between
thirty and forty without leaving Fort
Dodge. They report more fun and
more game than they could attend to.
On Wednesday night the people at
Fort Dodge had dance, at which three
men were shot and thrown out into the
frost. One of these men was brought
to this city last night to be forwarded
to his friends in New Orleans. They
make no trouble about killing few
men at Fort Dodge. 1t is mere pastime
at a dancehouse fandango.

The cat show at the Crystal Palace in
London is generally spoken of In the news
papers of that city. Each cat is enclosed
in neat wire work cage, with plenty of
room for the biggest Of them. In each
cage is cushion for the inmate to rspose
upon. They are well supplied with both
meat and milk. The number exhibited,
including kittens, is nearly four hundred.
They are divided into four great classes,
with prizes ranging from two guineas to
five shillings, including short-haired, long
haired, and cats belonging exclusively to
to workingmen. These are again divided
into forty eight classes, beginning with
short-haired tortoise-shell he-cat, and go
ing through all the varieties of brown
Tables, black and whites, pure white,
and unusual colors Among the interest
ing animals in the show is an ocelot, or
young tiger cat. There is tortoise. shell
he-cat valued by bis owner at ESQ. A
tortoise-shell he-cat IS something entirely
new--cats of that marking being almost
invariably "shes." No. 95 is valued by
his owners, two maiden ladies, at $500.
To crown all, there is cat weighing %
pounds without his collar.

The Old Mans Funeral.

| saw an aged man upon his bier,
His hair was thin and white, and on his brow
record of the cares of many year
Cares that were ended and forgotten now.
And there was sadness round and faces bowed,
And women's tears fell fast, and children walled
aloud.
Then rose another hoary man and said,
In faltering accents to that weeping train,
"Why mourn ye that our aged friend is dead
We are not sad TO see the gathered grain,
Nor when the mellow fruit the orchard casts,
Nor when the yellow woods shake down the
rpened mast.
Ye sigh not when the sun, his course fulfilled,
His glorious course rejoicing earth and sky,
In the soft evenings when the winds are sliled,
Sinks where his islands Of refreshment lie,
And leaves the smile of his departure spread
Der the warm-colored heaven and rudy
mountain-head.
Why weep We, then, for him, who, having won
The bounds OF mans appointed years at last,
Life's blessings all enjoyed, lifes labors done,
Serenely TO his final rest has passed.
While the soft memory OF his virtues vet
fingers like twilight hses when the bright sun
is set2
His youth was innocent, his ripper age
Marked with some act of goodness every day;
And watched by eyes that loved him, calm and
sage
Faded his declining years away.
Cheerful he gave his being up and went
To share the holy rest that waits life well
spent.
That life was happy; every day he gave
Thanks for the fair existence that was his
For a sick fancy made him not her slave,
To mock him with her phantom miseres.
No chronic fortunes racked his aged limb
For luxury and sloth had nurtured none for
him.
And I'm glad that he has lived thus long,
And glad that he has gone to his reward;
Nor deem that kindly nature did him wrong
Softly TO disengage his vital cord.
When his weak hand grew palsied, and his eye
Dark with the mists OF age, it was his time to
die

The Arkansas City Traveller relates
the circumstances of fatal shooting
affray at Caldwell. Two men from Vir
ginia and Ohio, employed as herders
got into a quarrel, grabbed each other
by the left hand, drew pistols, and
commenced shooting one another-the
Yirginian shooting the Ohio man six
times. while the Ohio man shot but
twice. The Ohio man, who had been
shot through the heart, knowing his
time had come, clinched the Virginian,
drew n knife, and cut him in the neck,
completely severing the iugular vein.
Both fell dead on the spot. A box was
made, both men put into it, and buried
together.

Rich Ores.

Our sanctum was visited during
the week by two old miners-B.
w. and p. COnnelly-WhO have
been in Arizona for the past ten
or eleven years. These two broth
ers arrived here last Sunday even
I4ng from Pinos Altos Valley, New
Mexico. This place is about sixty
miles from the Burro mine. and
is near the dividing line. They
had with them some specimens of
the ore gotten out at PinOs Altos,
which will yield $4,000 to the
ton. The average yield of the ore,
taking it through, gives 1925 to
the ton, gold. They also had some
very nice specimens Of silver ore
from a mine in the San Quentin
Mountain range, about sixty miles
east Of Tucson. The rock is very
rich-it is nearly all native silver,
and will average thousands of
dollars to the ton. Wood and wa
ter in abundance. These gentle
men report the Indians about
Pinos Altos as very quiet, and
that the only depredations COM
mitted there are by Mexican ma
RAIDERS. The only murder perpe-
trated by Indians for nearly q
year, SO far as is in their knowl-
edge, was a mail driver. The new
(Tularosa) reservation is being
we'll filled with Indians, and that
portion Of the country is now con-
sidered peaceable. The Connolly
brothers are on their way to San
Francisco to dispose of some in
terests>in heir mines, and expect
to return in about two months,
when they propose to bring back
with them sufficient force to work
their claims.
