n PREMoSITIoS OF DEATH.-Tbe Prov
idence, X. l., journal Of the IIth saws:
young lady from New York has been visit
ing relatives i'll this city during the past
two weeks, and had made arrangements to
return home last Friday night, having a
strong impression upon her mind that she
must go home without delay For the
sake of the company OF relative OH her
journey home, however, she was induced
to postpone her departure until Monday
evening last On Sunday morning, after
quiet nights rest, she WAS suddenly
awakened between ) and O'Clock Al d
saw figure distinctly, or was convince d
she did, standing in her room. near the
door, looking toward her. The figure bore
an exact resemblance to a sister she left
at home i'll New York in her usual health
The young lady got up and went toward
the apparition. and it disappeared. She
then opened a window and looked out. but
seeing nothing more of the figure or anv-
thing else unusual, she returned to her
room and fell asleep again. In a short
time she was awakened and saw the appaIi-
tion of her sister again, with hfe-like ap-
pearance and in the same position as be
fore. She got up again, and as she ad
vanced toward it it receded from her ap-
proach and disappeared as before Again
she looked about from room to room and
out of the window, but saw nothing more
of 1t. Being now too much excited to
sleep longer, she dressed herself and re-
mained sitting up in her chamber waiting
for daylight. Her uncle, who is an early
riser, heard her moving about the room,
and on his inquiring why she was up so
early, she related her experience as above,
and when the family had all risen it was
the subject of general remark and com
mcnt. On Sunday noon the young lady
received a dispatch from New York in
forming her that her sister had died sud
denly at the very hour the apparition ap-
peared in her chamber.

THE Maine Standard of the 18th inst,
after giving the result OF the late election
i'll that State, says: Every unit in the Re-
publican majority represents vote bought
by the money of the administration. Had No
money been used, Maine would on Monday
have given a Liberal majority of over ten
thousand. But it is not too much to say
that nearly twenty thousand votes were
bought by the Grant managers, who used
money to an extent never before witnessed
or even dreamed of in New England. The
vote must be bought--thc price was mat
ter of little consequence. The tactics en-
ployed by the Ring" masters equalled in
uublushing infamy the most shameless con-
duct of the old Tammany Ring. Thousands
Of voters were imported who had no shad-
ow of right to vote in this State. Men
who had not set foot upon Maine soil for
twenty years were put on the list and
voted, against the protest of every honest
man. Washington clerks, Navy-yard en-
ployes. and military gentlemen were sent to
Maine with orders to vote for Grant candi-
dates-orders they dared not disobey."-
And yet, after all these appliances had
been exhausted, the majority falls fully
twelve thousand behind that given for
General Grant in 1868, which is the only
true tost.

A NEGRO CLUB ATTEMPTS TO BKRKA UP
A GREELEY MEETING-MAN KILLED.-On
Saturday night last meeting Of the friends
of Greeley in the Fifth ward, Pittsburgh.
was held on Chatham street. About ten
o'clock, the Eleventh Ward Grant club.
composed of negroes, came marching along
in front Of the stand and made a great
noise. Fifteen minutes after the club re-
turned, the last speaker was addressing the
meeting, majority of the audience having
retired. The negro club again stopped, the
captain ordering the band to play. Those
on the sidewalks began 20 shout for Greeley.
One man was knocked down, and a general
rush was made. Shots were then fired.
One white man was driven into Powers

saloon was entirely Quilted by them. John
Leavitt (white) had his skull fractured.
and he died during the night. Several of
the negroes were reported wounded but
they were carried off by their friends.

THE Pittsburg Chronicle, Grant paper,


says:
Mr.. Buckalew's political csreer has been
for years exposed to the inspection OF the
people OF Pennsylvania. They have had
ample opportunity of Judging the man. 1t
is n notorious and noticeable fact that when
he was nominated by the Democracy as
their candidate for Governor scores of Re-
publicans pronounced it a good nomina-
tion, extolled his integrity and congratu-
lated the Democrats on selecting such a
man. For quite a time the Republican
press of this city did not utter whisper
against Buckalew's purity of character,
and few Of the Republican papers advo-
Gated Hartranft in preference to him
Now, however, an astonishing transforma-
ton has taken place. Buckalew is not
only dishonest man, but also a traitor,
and Hartranft is the true and tried servant.
etc, etc. 1t is hardly worth while to in
quire any further why the best men in this
country cndeavor to keep out of politics

COMMUNICATION.

URSINA, PA, July 2G.
Dear Uerdld:-I notice that CORE
spondent of the Somerset Democrat in Civ
ing graphic description of the town OF
Ursina, its surrounding prospects, &c, de
scribes it as being situated on the banks OF
the Cassclman river If that individual
upon his next visit to Ursina will pay Il
little attention to the geography of the
country, he will find that the p. & c. X.
r. follows the Casselman river until it
comes TO dividing ridge called Hog
Back" which separates said river from
'Laurclhill creek" Upon arriving at the
aforesaid ridge he will learn that the rail
road passes from the banks of the Casscl-
man river TO those of Laurelhill creek by
means of an extensive "hole in the
ground" more commonly known rs Brooks
tunnel. After Observing all this, of the
beautiful and picturesque, he will find that
the town of Ursina is situated upon the
placid waters of Laurelhill creek.
was very much pleased with the letter
of said correspondent; yet i beg OF him
not to locate our town upon the turbulent
waters of the Casselman river, as my
mother always told me not 10 go near the
water until knew how to swim.

ATTACKED BY a Doe.-The large New
foundland dog belonging TO Mr. F. Naugle,
proprietor of the Dale House, at Dale
City, Pa, yesterday attacked little girl,
aged about eight years, a daughter OF Mr.
W. Welshons, of that place, and severely
bit the child in the back. Fortunately,
by the assistance of Mr.. +. NJ. Offntt and
another gentleman who happened to be
near by when the dog attacked the child,
the brute was drawn off before The child
was more seriously hurt Her injuries
were dressed by DIR. II. C. Mckinley. Mr..
Naugle was extremely sorry about the oc-
currence, and although the dog has been a
great favorite and highly priced, he offer
ed to have him killed The dog is well
known in Dale City, and heretofore has
been thought perfectly harmless, particu-
larly with children, the little ones daily
playing with him. The attack upon this
little girl was wholly unprovoked and un-
accountable. le.-Ddily NcrS.

A RESIDENT of this county who was
the possessor of a competency sufficient TO
support himself and family during their
natural lives, became possessed of the idea
that they were all coming TO want and
would die of starvation. This hallucina-
ton took such firm hold upon his mind
that no persuasion on the part of his friends
was sufficient to divest him of it. Day
after day it grew stronger for years. His
greatest anxiety seemed TO be for his fam
lily, and finally he determined, in order to
save them, he would be compelled 10 starve
himself This he carried into execution
and became q victim TO this all absorbing
and fatal illusion of his life, his death oc-

Dear Editors Il don't see Stantons 5
town spoken of in your paper. This beau
tiful town is situated on the banks of
Quemahoning creek, and consists of about
fourteen dwelling houses, seventy five in
habitants, one grist mill, one saw mill. one
dry goods store, one shook shop, one plan
ing mill and sash factory, carried on by
J. III. Stahl on an extensive scale. 1t is
great help TO this community in furnishing
building material. Fears are entertained
that the shops will soon stop, as Mr.. S.
has not been well since the Cincinnati con
yention, and last week he took back set,
as did many others of the same political
profession.
This place was quite a scene of excite
ment last week one day, occasioned by the
rumor that the Hon. delegate of Somer-
set would pass through this place on his
way home from the Baltimore convention
Accordingly all the Democrats gathered
together about ten o'clock to see and to ask
the Hon. gentleman about the convention.
But what disappointmentsth this world hath!
About quarter past eleven the L. S. hack
made its appearance, bearing the Hon.
head of the party, but it passed through
this place and never stopped. The dele
gate was seated in a reclining position, ap-
parently asleep, regaA liess of any Demo
Gratis in this town; by\ his side monster
wheel barrow; they imagined they saw
on the side boards of this\push- buggy the
following inscription: Transportation for
all soft headed Democrats over to Horace
Greeley free of charge" At this moment
they all disappeared and went to their hid
ing places, from whence they returned in
a few days to discuss matters. 1t was then
the following was heard: Must we vote
for II. Greeley?" 80 say our party leaders,
and they surely ought to know" Il have
come TO the conclusion they can make us
do just what they please" Suppose we let
the party go TO the ID and vote for L. s.
Grant" "No, we must stick to our party
as long as there is any rib left > But they
keep us swallowing so long and so many
things; why. we had to swallow the cman-
cipation proclamation, the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments, the lies the Repub-
licans heaped on us, for there was a little
truth mixed with them, and last but not
least We have TO swallow ii. Greely. after
he has swallowed jeff Davis and the whole
confederacy. This is going to make a
mighty big swallow, and it smells so mig
gerish; but we have long time TO take this
dose-between this and November-and
we'll take 1t if it kills us politically"

MASTER WILLIAM STANTON, a lad about
nine years of age. whose parents reside in

from death. He was out in the field, but
a short distance from home, and when
crossing a fence the serpent struck him as
he leaped to the ground, and his blood be
ing heated, the poison moved with such
celerity, that in five minutes after the bite
he was totally blind, and in ten minutes
thereafter he began 10 vomit and purge
blood. Immediately the foot began to
swell. and turning black, bursted open in
seven or eight places from which the blood
oozed out continuously. The blood seem
cd to stagnate throughout his whole sys-
TEN and settle in spots all over his body
This continued for few hours when
spasms set in. after one OF which he seem
ed 10 be dead The friends closed his eyes
and arranged his limbs preparatory to lay
ing out the body; but before this process
was completed they discovered signs of
life and sent for doctor. The next day
DR.. BOYD was summoned and visited the
patient. He found him pulseless at the
wrist and swelling and blackness extend
ing nearly to the body on the affected limb
and the blood still dripping from his foot,
whilst vomiting continued at every attempt
TO raise his head The Doctor succeeded
