The Strange Story of a Poacher.

Translated from the KolniSChe Ieitung
In the Bavarian mountains, near PaatenkiT-
chen, the traveller often meets young woman
with hollow cheeks and wild eyes, whose rich
blond hair floats loosely around her head. She
fore every waytarer. n few years ago she was
the brightest and prettiest Young girl in the
mountain district. She became the bride OF
Joseph Falkner, stalwart Young fellow. In
time their union was blessed with two children ,
yet she could not prevail upon her husband to

was shot by Falkner, and the others took to
flight. Falkner lowered around the village at

gendarmes had halted and were listening

For ten minutes the pursuers halted bv the

WHAT HAPPENED To A DANBURY Girl
FROM SEEING HER YOUNG MAN TaRoUuH
WRINKLY GLAss-FrenCh plate glass in win
d0ws is not an indication of sno5bis h. e -
Every house in the land should have is French
plate, and the present glass should be buried far
below the surface of the earth. An incident
which occurred Sunday afternoon illustrates
the grievous defect of the American window
glass. A young lady living on Rose Hill had
seated herself at the window which comm nted
range of the road to wait for young man
who is all in all to her in this life. When he
came in sight she was ranging through one of
those panes which are capable of almost an un-
limited number Of changes. She perceived her
lover as he appeared over the hill, and rec0g-
niZed bim at once. Immediately he ceased 10
become her John: and closed up to a Waid!inp
party of about four hundred pounds burden
Then he suddenly split in two lengthways and
each half bObbed up and down toward her. She
would have shrieked in horror, but now a new
transformation turned the tide of her emotions
The parts came together again and shot up to a
great altitude, and Immediately sunk down
again, and what but one moment before wa
her admired John was now an object of many
revolving legs, like beetle drunken with new
wine. The poor girl was so affected BY this
marvellous change that she burst into an I'M
comfortable laughing fit, and emerged from il
a maniac. She was removed to Middletown
this morning, accompanied by her distressed
parents, and all that medical art can do will be
done for her relief; but the case appears almost

RICE.-Dan Rice, the old clown, has fallen
under his evil star, and his mstortunes will
provoke no little sympathy. After quite sue
cessful summer tour he reached Louisville
building, and fitted it up at great expense. The
first week turned out badly, and for the second
the price of admission was reduced to Is ami .
cents, but the show did not draw. As conse-
quence the whole concern was attached, and or
Saturday last horses, canvas and general para
phernalia were sold by auction, the celebrated
performers, musicians, and all the employees
were minus their wages, Dan not having dol
lar left TO pay them. During the summer Dan
himself, with his blind horse, etc, was travelling
with another company in Canada, at =, 900 per
week, and that, too, went up, leaving him
minus S21 900.

The Election i'm Ohio

The result of the election in Ohio on
Tuesday for State officers and Legislature
seems to be still disputed question, the
Democrats not only having carried ma
jorfty in the Legislature, but claiming the
State ticket also. All of the returns, with
some exceptions, as received yesterday in
dictate Democratic gains, and there has ev-
identity been very close contest. Last
year Grant carried the State by 1851 ma
jority, though the majority for Wikoff,
Republican, at the election for Secretary
Of State was but 1850, and the election
in 1871 resulted in 2O,168 Republican ma
jority for the Republican candidate fol
Governor. The official returns from forty
six counties now foot up $4,000 Demo
cratic against 1871 Republican MAORI
ties, showing gain, which if sustained
throughout the State, would elect the Dem
cratic ticket by 4,0OO.-Sun.

More Radical Retrenchment.

The Democrats surrendered the city of
Philadelphia into the hands of the Radi-
calls less than twelve years ago, (says the
Age), with a debt of nineteen millions of
dollars, and rate of taxation never reach
ing above one dollar and fifty cents on the
hundred dollars. At the same time the
debt was on the decrease; taxation could
have been reduced in a couple ofyears, and
needed public Improvements pushed on
with all necessary speed. 1t is we'll
known fact that the streets, as whole,
were better paved ten years ago than they
are to-day. We have few patches of i'm
proved pavements at the present time, but
the remainder of the highways are worn
out; patched in most unworkmanlike
manner, and rendered almost wholly unfit
for vehicular travel. AS to water, the sup
ply has not kept up with the demands of
the increasing population. The Radicals
have done nothing comparatively for the
city, and yet the debt is now over fifty
three millions, and steadily increasing. Do
and bushes men want to hold

The wheeler & wilson sewing Machine.

Ehe Wheeler a. Wilson Sewing Machine.
From recent visit to the Maryland In
stltute Fair, where we witnessed MANY
rare and valuable articles, the product of
art and mechanic skill, we are able to bear
testimony to the truth of the following ex-
tract from one of our Baltimore exchanges:
Of the many novel and interesting fea-
lures at the Institute exhibition, the stand
OF the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine
Company seems to attract the most atten-
ton. They have entered several machines.
some running by steam and others by foot
power, upon all grades of work, from
heavy saddle skirting to the finest main
sock. Their new No 6 machine, recon-
mended by the leading shoe and clothing
manufacturers in the East, is attracting
much attention, and the elegant samples
OF shoe work excel anything it has ever
fallen to our lot to see. The company
claim certain advantages for this machine
which an examination of its mechanism
and the work done will convince the most
skeptical are well founded. It will paw
all our manufacturers who use sewing ma
chimes to stop in at the fair and examine
this really wonderful piece of mechanism.
and the superior quality of the work done
on it.

GA Daniel Come to Judgment %

The eminent gentleman, with a Web
sterian name, who represents the profess
sion Of the law on the. Republican ticket,
in his address accepting the nomination,
among other charges, which he made a.
gainst the Democratic party, was one
which attracted our attention. He COM
planned that it had created public senti-
ment in this county which made it dis
reputable to belong to the Republican
party. We do not pretend to give the
words used, but simply the substance of
what was said, for we were so carried away
by the yolubility and grace of the orator
that we cannot recollect his language, but
we thank him for the statement. And we
are proud to have the admission of an OPP
ponent that our good old party had Great
ed such public sentiment. We were
aware of the fact, but still are grateful for
its acknowledgment. Wonder if this pub
lie opinion-notp political principle made
the gentleman so Jealous member of our
party up to few days>before his nomina-
ton, and whether the tempting bait of a
seat in the Legislative councils finally de-
termined him suddenly to change front
and disregard public opinions But we
feel confident, when "the Ides of Novem-
Der" (of which the. speaker told his be-
wildered hearers) come, he will be elected
to-stay at home. Thus we will have
"a Daniel come to Judgment" But then
after judgment comes execution; after
execution comes death, and after death
comes Judgment again. Thus will he be
thrown into malestrom, and after Swing
ing around the circle" be drawn down in
its vortex, and disappear forever from our
ravished sight. But then, if there be any
truth in spiritualism, he may be able to
give US further information on the "fish''
question, about which he now speaks so
confusedly.

The outlook.

We take great pleasure in congratulate
ing our fellows citizens upon the bright
ness of the political outlook. In all parts
of the county, our friends are fully aroused
and active. The effect of the so-called In
dependent movement, which, after all, was
but side-show to the notified circus into
which it was afterwards merged, has re-
acted most benefcially for the Democratic
party, and men, who have heretofore of
ten been supine, have been startled by
the treason in our camp, and have gone to
work in earnest. From every district and
neighborhood, our accounts are of the most
encouraging and fattering character, and
we feel now, if our friends do not slacken
In their zeal, that success will surely crown
our efforts. Our opponents still play their
game of brag, and as it seems to give them
some pleasure, and can do us no harm,
even let them play on, they will soon find
stopping place.

Convention of Radicals and Anti.COn.
YentiOn sIndeDendenfSE

Convention of Radicals and Anti.COn-
ventiOn Sc Independenfs!''
There was another small fusion Conven-
ton held here on Tuesday last. 1t was
not held this time in sections, as formerly
one being then held with closed doors,
and which might not inaptly be termed
'the Rye House" Convention, and the 9TH
er, and stronger Convention, being held at
the Court House, with open doors and
windows. On this occasion it was held,
we believe, at the residence of distin-
guished Federal officeholder. Several of
the prominent candidates were on hand,
and several of the would-be candidates
were also present. The meeting, however,
was small and very select. We do not
know what transpired, as our reporter was
not invited, but public rumor has it that
it was for the purpose of filling vacancies
on the ticket. It is understood that the
meeting was very harmonious. Radicals
and socalled Independents harmonizing
in the most afectionate manner. Occa-
sions like these never fail to cause emo
tions of the most philanthropic character.
It is beautiful sight to see christian gen
tlemen who have heretofore been wrang-
ling, contending and abusing each other,
meeting together in such loving manner
and vieing with each other in their efforts
in the cause of our common humanity, in
the shape of the negro. And what beau
tiful lesson ofunselfsh humility is present
ed, when we see them willing to take a
nomination from those whom, heretofore,
they have regarded only as "hewers of
wood and drawers of water" but now, un-
der the blessed dispensation of a new light,
they regard as "a man and d brother"

WAn orator at the conglomerate Con-
vention told is that Boss Tweed's dia-
