From the n. \. Tribune.
Pennsylvania Democrats are Specializing
about the advisability of running Andrew
G. Curtin as their candidate for Governor
next year. Ifthey are anxious to convince
the people that they mean what they say
when they proclaim themselves IN fIvor OF
reform in the administration of public at
fairs, they could not do a wiser thing
Some of them who are more partisan favor
the selection of Gen. Hancock. Tie Phil
adelphia Inquirer rep says that either
Curtin or Hancock could command the
cordial and open support of the entire Con-
servative Republican element Of the state,
and the result of such battle, if battle it
could be called. could be as well calculated
to-day as after the election.

The snobs toadies, place-hunters ant
bvnocrites now holding Office at Washing

PEOPLES ballots. They have discovered
that the next House Of Representative
will have the disposal OF some $50 offices
and they are now protesting that they nev
erwere Republicans in all their lives, pu'
were always War Democrats, etc, etc
Their professions may be taken for what
ever they are worth, for it is a matter O

in practice. We demand

Thefollowing story,of Scotch pulpit crit
icism by beadle, used to be told by an
eminent divine, the late Rev. DR.. Andrew
Thompson:
A clergyman in the country had q
stranger preaching for him one day, and
meeting his beadle, he said to him :
well, Saunders. how did you like the SER
mon to-day" II watna, sir; it was
rather over plain and simple for me- /
ike thae sermons best that jumbles the
ioodgment and confoonds the sense. Cd,
sir, / never saw ane that come up to your
sell at that"
Wishing to point a moral and adorn a
tale, like the author Of ''Rasselas," ! then
asked the next little John Henry, wv as
the wife:of Potiphar truly good woman,
my child2", l threw into my tones a
mild and subdued sadness appropriate to
the occasion. ''No sir, he promptly re,
sponded, because she wanted the good
Young Joseph to tell stories with her--to
lie" I was so completely taken aback at
this altogether unlocked for view Of the
subject that came within an ace of clubs
of breaking through. l concealed my face,
looked down demurely, and continued my
questions. - Washington Capital.

A Bold Horse ThicE-Last Tuesday a

A Bold Horse Thief.-Last Tuesday
sharper representing himself as being
liuuor dealer made his appearance in York,
forming the acquaintance of Mr.. E. T.
Moul. From this place he went to Dover
where he bargained for the purchase of
lot of ground, and also proposed to erect a
building, and ON Tuesday last hired horse
of Mr. Liebenknech of Dover, to come to
York for load of lumber. On arriving
here he sold the horse to Mr.. MOul, for $40
giving as his reason for selling so valuable
an animal at such low figure, that he
wished to quit the liquor business. On
Wednesday the owner of the horse came to
York, and soon discoverd his whereabouts
and Immediately came in possession of his
property, when the swindle was made
known. Squire Metzell, was then engaged
to secure, if possible, the arrest of the
thief, who telegraphed a minute description
of his dress and appearance to prominent
towns ard cities, but so far we understand
the real thief has not been discovered.
The same evening, the Mayor of Lancas-
ter, despatched to York that he had arrest
ed the man answering the description given
who gave his name as Harry Ruby, and
who turned out to be son of G. w. Ruby,
of the York County Academy, young
gentleman Of the most irreproachable char
acter, who is salesman in a large business
house at Philadelphia, and who was on his
way to that city. He was released from
custody, on proving his acquaintance with
prominent bus mess men of Lancaster, with
whom he had been doing business frequent
ly. The mistake was of course greatly re-
gretted by all concerned. York County

Frightrul Accidcnt.-on Saturday tt

Frightful Accident.-On Saturday the
14th inst, frightlul accident occurred in
Altoona, in which George II. Curfman a
laboring man, was killed, and James Brad
ley, machinist was badly injured. En-
gine No. 266, was standing over an ash pit,
a short distance below the eastern round
house, when James Kelley mounted the en-
gine for the purpose of moving it short
distance, so as to draw the ash pan when
he seized hold of the lever, and the engine
rushed backward, and came in contact with
another engine, shattering the tool box of
the 226, when he hooked her forward, and
she plunged into the round house, at the
rate of 35 miles an hour, battering down
doors, AMI smashing everything in her
course. Kelley saved himself by jumping
off. The engine run about quarter of a
mile through the round house, and machine
shop and only the turn table not being in
the right position prevented it going
through the wheel shop. Although over
five hundred men were at work it is provi-
dental that only one man was killed, and
another badly injured, with several narrow
escapes. The damage to property will
amount to several thousand dollars.

do not suppose the author of Wright's
History swore his informant, (who by the
way, l know to be reliable ex-cOunty
officer), when he received the information
of the Groom" in question. Had he been
as doubtful of the veracity of others as the
editors of the Heeman and Adoocatc, and
besides a Judge, (o( small matters,) doubt
less he would have done so but he did
write to a friend residing in Clearfeld, who
interrogated Ex-Governor William Bigler
as to the truth of the statement as written
in the history and received his answer ap-
proving it SO far as his family were con-
cerned. Perhaps all these persons were
mistaken, but we think Governor Bigler's
statement ought to satisfy the legal minds
of the Judge and the Legislator, and to
convince them that the further use of
slang is unnecessary in speaking of an
honest and creditaLle effort to preserve the
history of Perry county, by one who could
not have had the expectation of a pecuniary
reward for his labOrs. B.
