Grant in Pennsylvnuta. .

Pennsylvania Republicans cling to Grant ire
spective of all the factions. Her devotion to
him is something like her devotion to Jackson.
More solid Democrats prefer Grant to Greeley
in tins State, we believe, than in any other. The
reason is obvious lie Is the only modern Pres
ident who has had the courage to put good
strong word into his annual message in favor OF
the protection of American labor. lie ID the
only modern President who has not been cap
tured by the absurd fallaces of free trade.

STEALING WArERMELoNs.-Quite an
exciting chase occurred yesterday after
noon, caused by three young thieves
lifting as many as three watermelons'
from a pile in front OF N. Mckee's
stand, on Monroe street, and forgetting
to replace them. The rascals were
stepping along with their stolen fruit
quite leisurely. until they turned down
the alley by the First National Bank
at which point they began to accelerate
their speed. Unfortunately, though
for them, a gentleman, attracted by their
suspicious actions, notified Mr.. Mckee
that three boys had relieved his pile OF
q melon each. In less time than it takes
to relate this, and before they reached
the PeabodyInsurance office, Mckee was
after the young rascals hot foot, yelling
" stop them" The boys seemed to
comprehend the situation, for the
melons were dropped with a squash,
breaking into smithereens, while they,
upimpeded by their booty, made good
time down Market street and up Gram
giles alley, where, we believe, they were
finally caught.
An example should be made Of these
young rascals, who are necessarily
proving upon the stocks of our fruit
dealers, as their success in the water
melon line is only preparing them for
holder operations

Remarkably PRoMPT.-The Life As
ISOLATION of America is one OF the most
prompt companies we have any knowl'

son, who was insured in this company,
was drowned in the river, as our readers
will remember. On the 9th OF Septem-
Der the account of Mr.. Watson death
was received in ST. Louis, at the prin.
cipal office, and on the 10th the order
for the payment of $1,000, the amount OF
insurance on Mr.. Watson's life, was
sent to Major Anderson, the agent in
this city, ard on yesterday that sum
was placed in the hands of Mrs. Wat
son. That's what we call doing BUSH
ness promptly. This swift style of
settling claims can not but add to the
popularity Of the company.
