-Dea. William Mercer of Waltham. left
at this office on Friday, several specimens
OF fine apples grown on his farm in that
town. Among the varieties of grated
frut were the Porter and Tollman Sweet
ing, each perfect III its kind. The natural
or ungrafted apples were also large, fair
and nice. Dea. NJ. informs us that his
orchard will this season produce about
200 bushels of apples. Such examples
would seem 10 settle the question that with
proper care and cultivation, excellent fruit
may lee raised in Hancock County, and If
so, would il not be well for our farmers TO
give more attention to orch ardiug, and
thus save within the County the thousands
of dollars which are annually expended in
Boston for fruit no better than that we can
raise here?

The campaign Of 1856 gained foi
Mr.. Barker the proud appcllation o.
the old war horse, . which he at that
time we'll merited, aud still continues
deserving Of the same, from the IN.
firing energy and zeal which be has
ever displayed in advancing the
interest Of Republicanism. We feel
free to sar that be has done more to-
wards establishing, in Cambria coun.
ty, the party with which be has been
al ways identified, than any other
single Individual within its limits
Neither his time nor money were
wanting to promote the advancement
Of his party's interest.
In 1850 he was unanimously cho-
sen as delegate to the National Con-
yention which convened at Chicago,
and was a firm and ardent supporter
Of Abraham Lincoln, who was select
ed as the Republican presidential
nominee; and IN 1864 he received
the nomination for Congress in the
Seventeenth Congressional District,
and was triumphantly elected, not
withstanding the strenuous effort
which was made by the opposing can
didate to defeat him. The inherent
energy and personal popularity Of
Mr.. Barker proved too much for his
competitor and resulted in his being
sadly defeated-having run in Cam
bria county some eighty votes ahead
of every other candidate on the Re
publican ticket. The contest was
sharp, hot and decisive, showing
that be was the strongest and most
available candidate in the District.
MI. Barker was renominated for
Congress in 1872, and run some three
hundred votes ahead ofthe ticket in
northern Cambria, aud was only de-
through the treacherous con
iuct Of the Republicans of Hunting
Ion county. Their conduct in this
Ease was but a mere repetition of the
.reatment received, at their hands,
BY the Hon. Daniel J. Morrell, and
which was the occasion of his defeat
It a prior campaign.
We believe Mr.. Barker TO be as
trong, if not the strongest man, that
ould be placed in tie field sa our
tandard bearer in the coming Con-
-ressional contest. Always devoted to
be well being and advancement ofthe
ause which he espoused, not since
be party has grown strong, but afili-
ted the principles Of Rapublicanism
When there could be no motive, other
ban q strict adherence to what he
essential to lettering the con-
of mankind. And should be re-
eve the nomination from the Congress
ioaal Conference OF this District, we
eel satisfied that be would be as
trong a candidate as could be placed
D the field.
The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1874-07-29
Hon. A. A. Barker

|
At the head Of our columns viii be
observed the name ofHon. A. A. Bar
ker as the candidate for Congress,
subject to the decision of the District
Conference, and in referring to him
we think be deserves something more
than a passing notice.
He came to this county in 1851.
and engaged, as a common laborer,
in the manufacture Of shook, for one
year; after which time he commenc-
ed business for himself, and has done
more towards opening out the wealth
bound up in the dense forests Of north
err Cambria than any other mar in
IT. In his operations, which have
been quite successful, he has employ
cd from two to three hundred hands.
almost constantly for the past fifteen
years. His shook and numbering
business, at the present time, extend
not only in the northern, but through
the central part of the county. He is
an indefatigable worker, mentally,
physically and politically, and has
been engaged in nearly all the moral
reforms of the day, which have the
tendency o. olevating mankind to a
higher and loftier stage of morality
and usefulness. These traits in his
character alone speak volumes in his
behalf; and the tenor of his whole
life, since he became a resident Of our
mountain village, strongly depicts
him as a good and noble man, and as
one whose uprightness and probity
remains unimpeachable.
The msgnanimity of his soul is
strongly portrayed in the active part
which be took in the political strug-
gle of 1874, and the subsequent Free
Soil movement, when the idea first
began to dawn upon the American
mind that all men are born free and
equal. He was found n,anfully
battling in the ranks OF the anti
slavery party, against the unholy
practice then rife in our land, of hG-
MAI bondage, which was at its height.
but which no longer d~esecrates or
clogs the advancement of our free
institutions. The activity which he
displayed in the cause of right against
oppression, gives an unusual luster
and brightness to his political charac-
ter.
