The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1874-11-14


The nepublieaa papers are psoaIpi Of
their advice to the Democrats, aince the
election, As to what they oaght and ought
not 10 DO. now that they arc likely to Be-
reinstased ID power Had they advised
their own party as often aud as earnestly
as they might have done, they would pro-
badly have averted awhile longer the dis
aster which has overtaken them. But
good counsel is not to be despised, although
Incomes from an opponent. If the DEM
ocrats should be as reckless, cxtravagant
and corrupt, as the party which has just
been overthrown, it win share in turn a
similar fate. Meantime they win endeayor
to take care Of themselves, and viii be in
no hurry to commit political felo de "a.
The tone of the Democratic press, and the
utteranees Of leading Democrats states
men, in all parts Of the country, are emf
inently conservative. The fruits Of their
late victory cannot be gathered for twelve
month yet, and not fully, until Demo-
cratic President is installed in the White
House, on the 4th Of March, 1877. To
that contamination the Democrats will
bend all their energies, and win be cautious,
conservative, and eOnciliatOry. But, it
must not be expected that they viii aban-
don Democratic principles at the bidding
Of their former opponents, They will
take counsel Of each other, and endeayor
to act wisely and well, but win hardly take
their mentors from among the Radicals.

The New York Herald Of The gtb h

The New York Herald of the 9th inst.
devoted an entire page to description Of
fearful calamity resulting from the 'es-
cape Of the wild animals from the Zoolog-
ical Garden in Central Park. Several
keepers and nearly hundred other per-
sons of both sexes were among the list of
killed and wounded, the names of whom
were given. Governor Dix, who was for
tunately attracted to the spot, by lucky
shot killed the lion, and some other ami
mails were killed by the united efforts of
citizens and policemen; but, according to
the account, numbers of lions, tigers, leop-
ards and other beasts, are still running
about the Park. The most fearful panic
prevailed in the vicinity of the Park, and
proclamation was issued by the Mayor,
ordering all persons to keep within doors
until the animals had been secured or
killed, which fact would be known by the
firing Of guns at certain designated places
A brief paragraph at the end states that
the entire account was pure fabrication,
written to show what might be the conse-
quences Of such an event taking place.

RAILWAY REFORMS Tho Pcnnsylya-
MIA Railroad Company has put in force on
its extensive lines regulations requiring
passenger conductors to seat all passenger
and baggage agents 70 handle baggage
carefully preventing newsboys and gum
drop demons FROM annoying passengers
with opportunities to purchase their wares,
or otherwise annoying travellers ordering
no tickets to be sold to intoxicated persons,
and instituting other wholesome reforms.
Many Of the abuses these rules are inten-
ded to check have been Of loug standing,
and the now order Of things viii take away
much Of the petty annoyance at present
attending railway travel.

THE NEW CoSoREss. During Mr..
Johnsons administration an act of Con-
gress was passed to csll every new Congress
together on the 4th Of March. This act
was continued after President Grant came
in until after the meeting of the Forty
second Congress, 10 1871. 1t was then
repealed, and the Forty fourth Congress,
elected chiefly last week, cannot meet
until the first Monday in December, 1876,
unless called in extra session by President
Grant, which is not likely.

Of the elective franchise, but the colored
people are beginning to discover that they
fare as well with Democrats as they do
with the Republicans, who want no more

The qruacaA issue is tho commencement
o. The tensh volume Of the DKMoeRArIc
ADvocArR In looking back 10 the pc
Rod when the paper came into our possess
sioa. We find that we are giving to its
patrons twice as much reading matter as
it then contained, while We have more
than doubled its circulation, thus CORES
pondingly enlargins the field Of its useful
ness and influence. We have aimed to
present 70 the people Of Carroll a paper
worthy Of their support, giving them a
weekly summary Of the news, at home and
abroad, eollating with unfailing vigilance
and activity the local affairs Of the county,
and aequainting them with everything Of
interest which transpires around them.
In the literary department we have On
deavored 70 present only that which was
entertaining and instructive, excluding the
impure and immoral, or whatever contain
edgerms oferor, or was likely give wrong
views or opinions to the inquiring mind.
Circulating chiefly among ralpOpulation
whose interests are those Of Horticulture, we
have devoted a large partofthe parper to the
development Of those interests The Far
mer's department has been stored with
valuable hints and suggestions upon every
branch Of this noblest occupation Of man,
and We shall endeavor, in the future, to
give 70 Il even more attention than we
have bestowed upon it in the past. We
ask the cooperation Of the friends Of the
ADVOCATE to enable US, if possible, to
impart still higher interest to its columns.
They can aid US in various ways-by send
ing us the local news in their respective
neighborhoods, by commencing the paper
to their neighbors who do not take it, but
who probably would If urged to do 50.
Remember, there is no postage to be paid
upon ii, in the county, after the first Of
January next Let us appeal, at the be-
ginning Of a new volume, to all our friends
to give us their valuable assistance in ex-
tending the circulation Of our paper.
Everyone should feel county pride in
supporting his local county organ. It IS
one Of the institutions Of the county, its
mouthpiece and representative abroad
among strangers; the exponent Of the in
telligence of its population, and Of their
activity, thrift, and business energy. As
Carroll is populous, growing and improv-
ing county, her local press ought to bear
upon its pages the evidences. Of her adj
vancement Again wesppeal to our friends
to lend US their aid in extending the cir
culation Of the ADVOCATE.

ever having secured customer by the new
tangled give aways, or glittering gew- gaws, so
lavishly distributed by fIashy tradesmen. The
old established weekly newspaper is after all
the most advantageous medium for the city
dealers to reach the country customer; it Is

|. We take tho following l.ems from the
Hanover Citizea and Spcoiat0r.
We learn that on the night Of the 9TH inst,
an attempt was wade 10 rob the house of Mr..
Jacob Johns, Al White Hall, Adams county.
About one o'clock on the night designated,
Mr.. Johns heard m unusual noise in the
house, aud procuring . revolver made inyes-
legations as to the cause of tho noise. Three
men were observed to make a hasty exit from
the house, when Mr.. Johns fired seven times
at the would-be robbers, hitting one Of them,
as Is presumed by tho EXPLANATIONS Of agony
made by one Of them. As considerable money
was in the house at the time, the presumption
is money was their object.
On Saturday last young man named
Bollinger, residing near Leshey's Church, in
North Codorus township, shot himself while
engaged shooting at a mark. II appears that
his gun failed to 70 of, and he struck Il upon
the ground with some force, in order to shake
down the printing. The gun suddenly dis.
charged from the conclusion, the entire load
striking him in the throat and passing out ut
the back Of the neck, inilicting a frightfnl and
dangerous wound.
Oh Friday last q young man named Plus
Chunk, about II years old, son Of Joseph
Clunk, deceased, Of Oxford township, Adams
county, met with an awful death at the depot
in Harrisburg by being run over by train of
cars and horribly mangled. 1t Is supposed
that he threw himself under the cars and thus
committed suicide, as he told a comrade but
few minutes previous to the unfortunate
occurrence, that he intended taking his own
life. Disappointment in love affairs is sup
posed to have led to the rash act.
On Friday evening last, the 9th inst, Mrs.
Eve Bollinger, relict Of the late Samuel Boil
linger, Of Heidelberg township, died at the
advanced age of 90 years, months and IS
days. Her husband died few months since
at the age of 81 years, and the couple were
undoubtedly the Oldest married couple then
living together in York county.
