Mrs. Jane Thurston, the Maine maniac, who
recently sold that state at auction, called at the
capitol at Washington lately to see the prcSl-
dent Gen. Dent inquired her business, before
she could be admitted. She finally consented To
enli@hen the presidential relative by informing
HIM that she owned the United States and had
deed of it. After some argument she produced
the deed, formidable looking document, with
ribbons and great seal attached. Ii gave tie
several boundaries of the United States with
considerable miuuteness, abounded in legal
phraseology, and had apparently been drawn up
by some waggish lawyer, simply to crafty the
old lady. To her astonishmeut her request for
an interview with the president was firmly but
courteously denied. As a woman of great nat
ural dignity, she drew herself up TO the fullest
height and demanded TO see the president. Gen.
Dent finally compromised the matter by offering
TO take the deed to the president, which he did,
but soon returned, saying that the president re-
specially returned the deed with his thanks
She was indignant and coonng deeply in
moment, her eyes flashing with rage, she said iU
low bur determined tone: "Tell The president
sir, that since he refused the deed, | shall adver-
tise and sell the United States at public auction.
Such treatment is infamous, and shall resent
It" and thus saying she swept nom the ante
loom down the broad stairway.

history oil both parties, dircussed their plat
forms, and showed that all political reform
must, IN the future as IN the past emanate from

ANNpx.r,oN- There ia a nroicct

ANNExATIoN.-There is q project on
foot to annex the lower or neck end OF BELL town
ship to Ferguson and Penn. This portion Of bell
is literally cut in two, and the river should be
made the line between Penn aud Ferguson. We
learn that the residents within the proposed cedcd
territory seek an alliance with the townships
named, and We presume theio will be no objection
on the part of the townships named, as the terri
tory aud population are both desirable and will
add much to the convenience ofall. The territory
In question is bounded by the county map as
follows.
beginning at the susquehanna river and tract
line of William Drinker, In Ferguson township
thence along the line Of Bell aud Ferguson town.
ships to the western line of the James lIubley
survey thence along the line ofthe James Hubley
and John Boyle surveys to the river; thence down
the deepest channel Of said stream to the place Of
beginning, all of which territory, heretofore at
tached to Bell township shall hereafter be annex
ed to and belong to Ferguson township.
And further, all that portion Of Bell township
lying between the following boundaries, shall here
after be annexed to the township Of Penn, viz :
beginning at the susquehanna river and mouth
of Haslctts run thence up said until 1t inter
scots the township line between Bell and Penn
townships thence along tho several courses and
distances of said township line until it strikes the
riverj thence up said stream to the place of be-
ginning
A glance at the county map shows that this an
nexation scheme takes the neck end of Bell town
ship, which is cut in two by the river, and assigns
the one portion to Ferguson and the other to Penn.
This seems to be natural alliance and assigns
territory whero it naturally belongs. Yet there
may be some objections, which do not develope
themselves to our view at this distance from the
scene. Still we deem II far better than a new
township, which, IL erected, would only add to the
general expenses of the county and render no one
more comfortable.

CLEARFIELp BoRouon ELECTION

CLEARFIELD BoRoUoH ELECTIoN.-
The following is the result of the election in this
borough on Friday last. The town eouncilmen
were elected under the new, or cumulative, voting
law, the Democrats electing four and the Radicals
two members The new law is humbug. As u
Democrat, we would rather concode our opponents
two members of council for all future time, than to
be punished with this Cumulative voting" The
result will be that no one who is ft win be willing
to serve on the election board, because Of the
"bother' Of counting It, u, or 2, ;, or 6 votes
for candidates. None but experts in arithmetic
and pcnmanshiP are qualified to keep the tally
under this new departure"
