and killing a number of cattle.
BINGHAMPToN, N, Y, June 13.-
A terrific gale, accompanied by rain
and hail, passed over this city yester-
day afternoon. The menagerie and
aquarium tents of John Robinson's
circus were blown down and wagons
tipped over, while the tents were full
of people. Several persons were in
jured, but not seriously. The crowd
was terribly frightened. People in
the drenching storm, amidst upturned
cages of roaring animals, presented a
curious scene During the storm
lightning struck the spire of the Con-
gregational church, Fourth ward
school-house, the smoke-stack of
Blanchard 4 Cartlett's sash and door
factory, the residence of Vincent
Whitney, slaughter house and sew
eral trees within the corporate-limits.
A number of frames of unfinished
buildings and may trees were blown
down.

THE New York Tribune is out fiat
footed in support of BUcKALEw and
HENDRICKS, the Democratic candi-
dates for Governor in Pennsylvania
and Indiana. There is not Demo
cratic journal in the land, that has
discovered so many admirable quail
ties in these candidates as has their
once inveterate foe-the Tribune. In
fact, we think that, like all first dis
coverers, it is disposed to claim exclu-
sive ownership of these Admirable
Crichtons," until after the election.

made strong speech in favor of the

Numerous resolutions were introdu-

an ovation of applause whenever
mentioned. More than half the dele

nearly unanimous in this direction.

TILE rRIMARY ELECTIoN.

The ticket at the head of our col
umns, placed there as duly nominated
because it received the largest num-
ber of votes at the late election, is a
fair sample of the beauties of the
Crawford county system" We have
gentleman nominated for Congress,
who, in his card published in our To-
cal columns, declares that he was not
candidate, and knew nothing of the
printing and circulation of his tickets;
a nominee for Delegate to the Conven-
tion whose candidacy was unknown
TO nine-tenths of the electors, and
who was voted for at the polls in four
precincts only; nominee for prothon-
otarv who was too much voted Tor,
having returned for him more votes
from his own towship, than has been
polled by the conjoint parties in that
township at either of the October
elections. for the last three years, and
a nominee for Coroner who received
but two votes, all told, while il is
stoutly asserted by some of the un-
successful candidates and their friends
that other of the nominations are the
fruits of the heavy Democratic vote
polled throughout the county.
We urge nothing against the candi-
dates themselves, but we repeat
what We have so frequently urged,
that the system under which these
nominations were made is destroying
political morals, relaxing party ties,
bringing rcproaeh upon the Republi-
can organization, and viii eventually
produce such schisms and dissentions
as will result in its overthrow.
As evidence that we are not singu-
lar in this opinion, we clip the follow
ing from the Wayne County Citizen:
Says the Delaware Co. AmeTiean; We agree
with the Lebanon Courier, that the most success
ful means yet discovered for destroying majority
party in n county is the adoption Of the Crawford
county system OF nominations. II is rapidly doing
its work in Lancaster county. and we are sorry
that the Democrats of Berks don't initiate Ian
casters example. 1t has had equal effect upon
Democratic and Republican counties, the injury
being caused by the building up of factions within
the party, each with more bitter hate 10 the other
than towards the common enemy. Philadelphia
has adopted the system but We shall be greatly
surprised If IL lasts more than year.

A WOMAN KILLED BY DOGS.


The Pocahontas ARK Cour-
icr reports the following horrible
catastrophe:
About 4 week ago widow wo-
man, named Goens, was passing
Newton Moore's house, seven or
eight miles west of Walnut Hill,
when she was attacked by a pack
of dogs, and literally torn to
pieces. She lived but few hours,
when death relieved her mangled
form of its excrutiating pain.
At the time Mrs. Goens passed
Moore's house no human being
was there, hence it is not known
how long the fearful struggle last
ed between her and the blood
thirsty brutes; yet from the num-
Der of hounds kept by Moore,
(and it is thought the whole pack
attacked herr, it is reasonable to
suppose they were not long in rem
dering her helpless, paralyzed as
she must have been from fear,
even before her physical sufferings
reduced her to insensibility.
Since the above, another indi-
yidual was attaked, but escaped
after desperate struggle with the
same pack. The Courier adds,
naiYely, that Moore has since
agreed to keep his dogs tied up.

GENERAL LOGAN.

When some one said to President
Grant that Senator Logan seemed
inclined to complain of the admin
istration, the President smiled and
answered that he knew Logan well.
He is critical by nature, he said,
and always speaks his opinion.
"During the war;" said Gen. Grant,
"while we Law In camp, nobody
commented more sharply upon the
little slips and plumbers than John
Logan; but when the order came to
march, no corps was in more perfect
order, none was more bravely led
than John Logan's. He viii criti-
else the administration just az sharp
ly as he chooses; but he will give
no aid or comfort to the enemy"
How Just this judgment was
read Gen. Logan's brief reply to
Mr.. Sumner, the day after the speech
of the latter, perceived. 1t was the
spontaneous and impassioned an
swer of a man and a soldier who
felt that his friend and old COM
rade in the field had been bitterly
wronged. It was spoken with such
deep feeling, such ardor of conVic-
ton, that the Senate, which was
listless and dropping under q debate
upon the adjournment, suddenly
lifted its head and sat profoundly
attentive. The Senators lettering
outside hurried into the chamber.
The galleries were hushed and as
the orator in a few ringing phrases,
described the honest man who had
faithfully served his country in the
cabinet, there were bursts of hearty
applause, which the presiding officer
Senator Ferry, of Mich. promptly
suppressed, but which deep down
| in his heart, we do not believe he
was panied to hear.
It was q little speech of genuine
eloquence, and many who heard it
must have recalled that which the
Senator, then a Democratic Repre-
sentative. made in the other House,
and in replying to the threats of his
Southern colleagues to secede and
Tight, he declared that IL they should
attempt ii, the Northwest would
hew its way from the lakes to the
iGnlf. His prophecy has become
history. And the other day IS Gen.
/ Logan sat down after his little
speech it was plain that the Presf-
dent had but spoken the truth in
lsaying that he knew him well. and
that John Logan would give no aid
or comfort to the enemy.-I Harper

WHAT 10 DO IN CASE OF sUSsTRoKE.

Now that the true nature of the
disease is known, the method of
treatment becomes most obvious,
/ and we learn not merely what to
do, but also what not to do. AS
| heat is the cause of tho symptoms,
Icommon sense points to the abstrac-
/ ton of h eat as the mode of cure /;
and here again vivisection comes
into play. have taken an animal,
comatose, parSlyZed by heat, sppar-
emily dying, and plunged 1t into a
bucket of cold water. The temper
allure of the sufferer at once fell
rapidly until it reached the normal
point, and just in proportion that
of the water in the bucket rose.
As the animal cooled, its respira-
tons became more regular, the I'M
steady whirr of the heart was still
ed, by-and-by the eye-lids were
lifted, and out from the CLASSY eye
came the beams of new life. If the
period of Inconsistencies had been
short, the animal was in few hours
apparently as well as ever; if long,
the animal would recover sufficient
ly to recognize its surroundings
and to struggle for release, but
when allowed to escape, the par
alyzed limbs and the slow, imper-
feet progression indicated the pro-
found injury the nervous system
had received, and in few hours
the animal would be dead.
The Lessons OF these experiments
are too plain TO be overlooked.
Whatever is done in this disease
must be done quickly as possible.
Clinical as well as experimental OBJ
servations enforce this doctrine.
There should in such cases be no
waiting for the doctor. The RENE
dy is so simple, the death SO immi-
nent, that the good Samaritan pass
ing By should save his brother.
The Good Samaritan must, howev-
or, have cool head to be useful.
Not every man that falls uncon-
scions on hot day has sunstroke.
There is fortunately one criterian
so easy of application that any one
can use It. Go at once to the fallens
man open his shirt bosom, and lay
the hand upon his chest; If the skin
be cool you may rest assured that,
whatever may be the cause, it is not
sunstroke. II, on the contrary, the
skin be burning hot, the case is GER
taInIy sunstroke, and no time should
be lost. The patient should be car
ried to the nearest pump or hydrant,
stripped to the waist, and bucketful |
after bucketful of cold water be
dashed over him until conscious
ness begins to return or the intense |
heat of the surface decidedly abates. |
