when l have seen this-and how often I have
seen it allied with power and talent IL have
been inclined to attribute 1t to immaturity of
characterize a sort of ohildishness or to
what is worse, a want of innate integrity and
simplicity.
We live in a season of fermentation, which
is inseparable from progress; but those who
venture, as they walk on their path through
life, to scatter a few seeds by the way-side in
faith and in charity, may, at least, cherish a
hope that, instead Of being ~trampled down or
withered up, or choked among thorns, they
will have a chance of life at least, and of
bringing forth fruit, little or much, in due
season. For the earth, even by the way-sides
of common life, is no longer dry aud barren
and stony hard, but green with promise
grateful for culture AMI We are at length
beginning to feel that all the blood and tears
by which it has been silently watered have
not been shed in vain -European Mail.

THE WATER WORKS. The trenches for
the wooden pipes have been completed from
the dam to the Cameron Colliery, and the
pipes are now being laid. The first lot,
some / 800 feet, arrived on Monday. The
balance will be shipped at the rate of a car
load yer day, and laid as fast as received.
The dam is nearly completed. 1t has been
cleared of all refuse and vegetable matter
and the supply and waste-ppes have been
placed in position. Excavation for the en-
gine house and pumps was commenced
Monday week, and the work is we'll under
way. The contract for furnishing 10000
feet of iron pipe has been given to the War

Grdphic this afternoon published the follow
ing facts regarding the coming prial trip to
Europe
In all human probability the Daily G,u-
phic transatlantic balloon expedition will
act sail from the Calitoline grounds,
Brooklyn, on Wednesday afternoon, Sep
tember 10TH There is some uncertainty
regarding the precise time, as the weather
may not be favorable, and aud gas COM
pany not be able To spare the 100000 cubic
feet of gas required, but it is hoped the
ascension will not be later than the 10Th.
The great air ship is well advanced to-
wards completion, and a large force ofmen
are engaged in finishing the various ap-
paratus. All parts will be completed and
go together in few days, when the ballon
will be publicly exhibited on the Capitoline
ground, commencing next Saturday, and
continuing day and evening until the as
ccnsion takes place. 1t was first intended
that the ballon should start without any
preliminary public exhibition, but in con
sequence OF the earnest desire manifested
by the public and press, the Graphic com
pany have decided to make the exhibition
public. All the paraphernnlia will be on
exhibition, including the carrier pigeons to
be used. The following is II description of
the ballon and its cost: Length of nine
great sections, each 176 feet in width 80
feet hight when ennated, 1l6 feet dame

The editor Of the Democrat thinks Capt.
Caldwell "a gallant man to charge the or
phan department of the county" When
number of soldiers who became infuriat-
ed by The Democrats course against the
government, about ten years ago, made a
charge upon the Democrat Office for the
purpose of demolishing it, Capt. Caldwell
proved himself gallant in protecting the es-
tablishment from destruction, and received
the thanks of the Democrat. As Captain
Caldwell's qualifications are generally
good, it is already conceded that he is the
proper man for the position of Register &
Recorder, in which he will still further
prove his gallantry in preventing the men,
bers of Echholtz's Court House Ring from
doing any further damage to the tax-pay-
crs of the county.

States the sane suspension is also being

CAPTAIN GEORGE LOVETT.

The gentleman heads this article has
been unanimously nominated by the Re-
publicapiC Convention of Montour County as
a candidate for Assembly, from the district
composed Of -Montour aud Northumber-
land Counties. The names of a number of
very excellent, gentlemen were presented
for the consideration of the Convention,
either of whom would have made honorable
and iserviceablc members, but the choice
finally fell on Captain Lovett, and his no.
mination was Immediately made unani-
nous. The spontaneous Cutburst of ap-
plausc which greeted the announcement of
the result indicated the popularity of the
man at home, and we have no doubt hut
over the entire district when the people
come to Know this young soldier candidate
as his own fellow citizens and associate
workingmen know him. .N.
Born in the ranks of labor he has earned
his daily bread by the sweet of his brow
from early youth. Having few advantages
of scholastic character. he has so impr0v-
ed these meagre opportunities that few are
better informed upon the topics of the day
and the fundamental principles of our gov
ernment In 1862 he entered the army of
his country and served it faithfully until
the close of the war. in 1865. He received
n severe wound in the arm, at the battle in
front of Fredericksburg, which has ever
since rendered him unfit for manual labor.
In the spring of 1863 he was promoted from
2nd Lieutenant TO Captain, after conf
petetive examination before board of
army officers. Since his return he has been
an active and highly respected citizen of
Danvlle, occupying position in the Penn
sylvania Iron Works, where he has always
discharged his duty to the entire satisiac-
ton of his employers. He has served in
the School Board and Town Council and
is now one Of the prominent members of
the latter body. He has always been IN
active, honest, progressive man, and his
errors, if any, have been it trying to serve
his constituents too well. Whatever posi-
ton he has occupied he has always pushed
himself to the front, and never content in
taking negative or doubtful position upon
any question. AS a member of the differ
ent bodies of local government we always
knew where to find him. AS Republican
his position never has been doubtful.
Warm-active-- inhucntial-h has worked
for the interests of his party in season and
out of season and the glorious record of
the 4th ward is largely attributable to his
unceasing labor.
He is member of the Trinity Methodist
Church and for some time was the efficient
Superintendent of the sabbath School at
tached to the Church. lie is one of those
impulsiyc, energetic men whose whole soul
seems to be wrapped up in the cause he cs-
pouses. .-
Ifelected to the position for which he has
been nominated we bespeak for him an hon
Orable record of great service to his const;-
tuents' Although Republican in the
strictest and broaGest sense of that term,
yet he is entitled to and will receive the
support of a very large portion of his po-
lticsl opponents on account of his integrity
and fairness. H0Rtour American.

OUR neighbor Of the Democrat must have
4 particular hatred towards the people of
tie Mahanoys, as he is constantly casting
slurs upon them. And as no distinction is
made between Democrats and Republicans,
our neighbor cannot expect to receive much
from that end of tho county on account of
his persistence in such course. In our
intercourse with the people of that section
of the county, we have always found both
Democrats and Republicans a law abiding
and respectable people, and in many in

Sandtago, Aug. 14th, confirms the report
which we published some weeks ago of the
murder of Phillip Bright. 1t seems that
he with others had been prospecting in the
mountains and had come down into the viii
lage of Phoenix, Arizona, where they en-
camped within the limits of the town, eX-

For some reason Phillip was left alone the

was taken advantage by camp follower
