A BLACK MANS PROTEST..

Coiorcd Congressman Elliott, OF South
Carolina, thus speaks about the bribery
and corruption which was practicctl in
the legislature OF South Carolina to
elect Patterson, carpct-baggcr, to tho
United States Senate:
can bear defeat, but the humiliation
this thing has brought upon our colore<l
facc-that's what hurts me. Our race
~ now on trial before tho world ns to its
fitness to govern. What will be said
after such wholesale buying up as
thisT The colored men, as you know,
are in large majority in the legislature,
and then for Thorn to deliberately sell
ont by wholesale is blow that >yo can
not get over for years. 1t is blow at
our Integrity, our honesty, our man
hood. The report has gone to the world
that the colorcd legislators, making
laws for South Carolina, have been
hribcd by wholesale, and the report is
unfortunately true. What will the
world think OF it?

A TOUGH STORY.
A Mule that Diod Of Fright.

From tho Memphis AppeaLl
Last Saturday gentleman living
near Madison Station, on the Memphis
and Little Rock road, left his home to
60 to the village. He had not proceed
ed more than two, hundred yards,
mounted on lineal descendant OF
Balaam's ass, when he encountered a
great, greasy, black bear. The bear
was astonished, and, without taking
time to think, hurried up scaIy-bark
hickory, and seated himself very COM
fortably on a limb thirty or forty feet
from the ground. The farmer was
completely puzzled. If he rode back
to- his house to get his gun the bear
would surely escape. He therefore tied
the mule, a long-eared melancholy
body Of the tree. The mule was bride
wise, but no bride would hold him,
and strong ieathern cable was kept
coiled about his neck. With this he
was fastened to the tree. The farmer
started to the house, and Bruin, divin-
ing his plans, deemed it proper to get
away. He doubtless suspected that a
gun was coming. He came slowly
down, tearing the bark from the body
OF the tree. It ratified about the sleepy
mules head, who had not yet seen the
bear, and dreamed not OF the proximity
OF the ugly beast. The bear descended
slowly till he was within five feet OF the
mules great, ugly head. Then it was
that the stupid, innocent, unsuspecting
mule looked up. He had never seen
bear before. His knees smote one
another. He grew pale in the face. His
eyes were projected from his head-the
farmer safd-haIf foot. His tail was
slowly lifted, the hairs all turned awry,
till 1t stood at an~angle Of forty five
degrees above his spinal column, and
then 1t was that the mule showed q Sigh
and smole smile." It was an unearth-
ly sound the farmer, fifty yards away,
says it shook the ground where he
stood, watching the progress Of events.
The bear suddenly twisted itself about
and reascended to its perch. The mule
swooningly fell at the base OF the tree.
He lay still and apparently lifeless for
time, when Bruin again attempted
tho descent; but the terrified mule
hoWled and roared even more piteously
and terribly when the bark began to
fall, and he dashed and danced about
the tree so frantically that Bruin hesi-
tatcd, and finally sat in stupeflel
amazenent upon the limb upon which
nc first rested. The farmer came with
his rifle, and a bullet soon stopped the
pulsc-beats of tho bear. 1t fell heavily
beside the mule, and strange to tell, rs
told to us, the mule and bear died side
by side-thc one Of a mortal wound,
tho other Of mortal terror. The bear
was still black as Erebus; the mulo's
face was already white with an indie
scrlbablc agony OF mortal fear.

upon him in the future. Thcy accordingly pur-
chased a hsndsOue shrcncmeter from the popular
and reliable establishment Of Bsily 4 Co., Phila-

tho time Of completing their arrangements. On
Wednesday evening, March sth, they met In the
prayer meeting room Of the N. 2. church and or
ganissd BY calling Rev. Thos. Barnhart to the
chair. The object Of the meeting was then stated.
It was the intention to arrange for tho prcsenta.
ton to take place at later date, but the reverend
gentleman happening to be in an adjacent room
he was immediately called In, and Rev. VIM. H.
Din, after few appropriate remarks, handed over
an open case, containing a plain and valuable
gold watch. II is the opinion Of those present
that for tho first time Bro. McMurray was over
come. His moistened eye told the deep feeling Of
his heart and the few words he uttered In response
expressed the language Of his soul. All were
happy, but above all the retiring Presiding Elder
felt that ho was among his brethren and enjoying
their confidence and love. 1t is proper to say tina,
ono preacher not in the district, Rev. James c.
Clark, and two laymen, of Altoona, J. W. webber
and Il. d. McCrum, voluntarily participated in
this pleasant surprise. before the meeting ad-
journed 1t was

OuR Up-RIvER NEIdHBoRs. Our
Curwensyille neighbors have been over head and
ears In business for some time. Log jams, great
foods, loss Of bridges and many other exciting
themes have overtaken and surrounded them, but
they still shout railroad, as witness the following
which we clip from last weeks Tmo.
We have the pleasure Of announcing 10 our
friends the fact that the railroad is to be extended
to Curwensville. Work will be commenced at once,
or as soon as the weather will permit. Gen. Pat
ton and Col. 4. A. Irwin, Of our committee, return
ed home on last Tuesday with the papers, and
from the manner in which our people received
them Is shown tho general interest felt in this
work. Our band turned out in the evening giving
US some excellent music, and the citizens present,
a large number, would not be- satisfied until tho
committee were called out. Gen. Patton, Col. L,
A. Irwin and z. McNaul responded in very Asp.
py manner Our citizens ali feeling that the com.
nittee had acquitted themselvc, very creditably
in bringing to successful close the negotiations
for the railroad extension, cheers we're given fer
the committee, and somc gentlemen who favored
this enterprise not residents Of our town, were not
forgotten. II Gov. Bigler had heard the cheers
when his name was mentioned he would have
supposed himsef back in old fashioned Demo-
cratic times, whom so many Of the people Of this
county honored the susquehanna rsftman. Our
people seemed to forget politics and were willing
to give hearty cheers for Bro. Goodlander fer his
course In the Repsblieon with reference to railroad
extension and FREQ bridges. We hope to have q
good Christmas dinner and expect some Of our
guests TO visit US on that occasion by railway.
Now, NO foOling about this dinner business,

the January breakup, have, in accordance with
the provisions Of said Act, gathered up and sold,
at the Montour House, Lock Haven, on Tuesday,

cents for hemlock The law provides that these
Prize Masters "shall, after three months from
such freshcts shall have passed, or at such other
times as they may FIX, proceed to sell in open

shall distribute the proceeds, under the order Of
tho court aforesaid, pro rata among those who
shall prove to an auditor to be by said court ap-

not saved, in which case they would bo entitled to
pro rata Of the funds above mentioned.

physician was called in who examined his throat
and pronounced his malady quinsy, and stated
that the ulcer had broken and he would speedily

Of Monday night, his family nursing him, and
they expecting every moment that he would get
better, until about half past one, whilo on his foet
be suddenly gasped, fell over on the bed and in,
mediately expired. The death was so sudden that
II was impossible for the family to realize it.
Neighbors were summoned, who cared for the
corpse and did what they could to alleviate the
pangs Of grief Of the afflicted family. Mr.. Hall
was in the 65th year of his age. Heleavcsa wife
