Somerset county don't know any bet
ter than to give radical majority of about
!, 900 when election day comes around,
and still they seem as anxious as ever over
thcro to increase and multiply their num-
bels, for we read that twelve men were be-
fore the court of that county last week,
eleven of whom were charged with forni-
cation and bastardy, and the other with
adultery. No wonder Somerset county
is such a radical stronghold.

that Mr.. John ShcrdOn, of Clcarfeld town
ship. assured us a few days ago that he
counted no less than three hundred and
cighty-three grains on one stalk of buck
wheat, pulled at random in one of his
fields, and it is an accepted axiom that
''as goes Clearficld so goes the county"
In other words, there are just clear as fetdS
for producing buckwhcat elsewhere i'll
Cambria as there are i'll Cleanield town
ship.
