In the Bankers Convention of Sara
toga resolution was offered, that the
time of resumption be extended To
1885, $50 MS to change without sud
den fall of geaeral values" This
proves conclusively that the bankers
know the effect of resumption at an
early day, and that the sudden fall Of
general values" is precisely what they
want, for in that state of things lies
their contemplated harvest and they
are impatien. for the feast.

CEDAR HILL CAMP MEETING.
A Call for Family and Club Tents

A Call for Family and Club Tents.
The promise Is that on the 23rd of
August 1879, the nine regular tents
will be filed bya few faithful ones
who propose to support for d few days
an old fashioned camp meeting. These
can be greatly assisted, and the interest
of the meeting greatly increased by
private tents, the general scarcity of
supplies makes it important that the
regular ca mpers be assisted. Buy the
cloth, make your tent, invite your
friends aud cope on; the grounds are
free for all such persons as wish to
pitch their tents. 1t is an easy matter
fora club to arrange for a fishing ex-
cursion, why not for amp meeting ?
Trust in God and come with your
hymn and time book, your Amaranths,
Gems, Gospel Songs. etc. Understand
there will be no boarding tents. In
asmuch as spiritual good is the sole
object of Cedar Hill camp meeting,
no traficking will be permitted bar
Ter shops, lemonade, ice cream, cake
and fruit stands will be excluded from
the grounds. It is a free-wln offering
to the Lord, and strong expression
Of thanks to Him for abundant crops,
accompanied with an earnest prayer
that the services of the camp meeting
may bring, under Gods grace, a bless
ing to our souls, and rich harvest
from our spiritual fields. s' H

A pretty good trade on both sides, but

it is likely to be no trade at all. Both

not be enforced and maintained by law

ty. Neither Of the things be favor
ed was at all practicable. He knew
it perfectly, and yet he urged both
with a solemn earnestness that en-
outraged the ~ignoramuses around tim
on the Democratic side of the House.
Again, we find him at the same
session of the Legislature denounc-
ing and opposing the National Bank
ing System, and especially a bill
to enable the State banks to become
National institutions. Yet at the
present time be is a stakeholder in a
National bank at Johnstown and is
running as a candidate against the
system. If he is opposed to it on
principle why does he hold stock in
such a bank If be believes, as he
said be did in his long speech in the
Legislature, that the greenback is
sues are unconstitutional, why does
be consent to run as the candidate
of a party whose platform refuses to
allow of any other kind of paper cur
rency? The truth is that Judge
Pershing as a politician is a mere sol
dier of fortune. And all his intense
apprehension during the war and
reconstruction era, be did not hest
tate a moment to accept a Repubil-
can nomination in SchuylkilI county,
and the position be was then elected
to over the regular Democratic pOmi-
nee be now holds, and SO has little
faith in his election to the Office oil
Governor that be refuses to resign or
take the stump.
ANYONE who feels an interest In
such matters will find the course OF
Judge Pershing in the Legislature q
very curious study. He was the
solicitor of the Pennsylvania Rail
roadfor Cambria county and his votes
will be found in favor Of every bill
of hal company however unlimited.
One of these it will be remembered
was vetoed by Governor Geary be
cause OF its monstrosity. Another
that Pershing voted for allowing
the Philadelphia and Erie unlimited
power to build branches. The whole
volume of special legislation, against
which the reform movement was ar
rayed so successfully, found in Perish
ing one of its most unfailiDg friends.
He never took any bold statesman
like stand against any of these jobs,
for the fact is that he had not the
stuff in him for work Of that kind.
He was too much occupied with par
tisan opposition to Republican meas
ures, aud to that he gave all his time
and attention, and was head man in
every party trick or movement He
ought this time to be thoroughly
served out in a way that will settle
his hash.

School Girl Murdered.

CONCORD, New HAMPSHIRE, Oct.
A horrible murder occurred at
Suncook to-day. Miss Longmade,
daughter of james Longmade, a
highly respectable citizen of Suncook,
lett home this morning for school,
having half a mile to walk, part of
the way through the woods.
Not returning at the usual hour
search was made, and the woods
secured. At eight this evening her
body was found in the woods half a
mile from the road, with the head
entirely severed from the body. She
had been outraged and murdered.
As soon as the family received an
~intimation of her disappearance the
alarm was at once given, and the
people of Suncook turned out en-
masse to search for Der body. 1t
was found several rods from the road
in a clump of bushes. The head vas
entirely severed from the body. She
had been fearfully outraged. At IL
p. NJ. the head had not been found.
She was last seer alive this morn
ing, one bird of n mile from her
home. The road TO school is q lone
" one, their being only two houses
on the way. Officers have gone
down from this city, and detectives
have been telegraphed for from Bos-
ton.
Miss Josie Lougmade was seven
tea years old, pretty, and, a general
favorite in the community in which
she lived.
CONCORD, \. II, October 5.-The
81 arch for the head af the Laugmade
girl at Pembroke was resumed this
morning, and resulted in its being
found about one hundred rods from
where the body was discovered. 1t
was envelJpei in a shawl which
the girl had wore. One ear was
gone, the face blackened and bruis-
ed and one side Of the skull broken
in. In the edge of the woods was
found a stake broken in two places,
with which she had evidently been
struck and afterwards dragged into
the woods, where the bead was
severed from the body. The officers
at Suucook, a mile and a half from
the scene Of the tragedy, to-day ar
rested a man named Bill Drew. who
lives about half a mile from where
the murder was committed, and
whose movements were very suspi-
ciOus.
The most intense excitement pre-
vailed when his arrest became known.
A great crowd gathered about the
station where he was confined, and
but for tie determination of the Off
GERS he would doubtless have been
lynched.

Fatal Accident at MeKeesport

A sad accident, terminating fatally,
occurred at McKeesport Tuesday at,
ternoon. A young lady named Mar
garet Brady, seventeen years Of
age, was engaged in picking up coal
along the railroad, near the depot,
when she heard a train approaching
simultaneously a locomotive backed
some empty cars up past the spot.
In the meantime Miss Brady, at
tempting to escape the first train, was
hampered in her movements by her
foot catching in her dress, and be-
fore she could clear the track, was
struck by the backing train and
thrown across the rails. Eleven
wheels passed over her, cutting of
one leg above the knee. She was
seen by A. Z. Walker, who signaled
the engineer 10 stop, aud ran and
pulled Miss Brady from under the
train. DR.. Yankirk was summoned,
but his services were Of no avail, a.
the young lady never rallied from
the shock, and died shortly after

ELMIRA, y, Y, October 2.-The
famous trotting mare American Girl
fell dead this afternoon in the first
heat Of the "free-for-alr' race on the
Elmira Driving Park. She was
driven by John l.. Doty, and ap'
peared at the start to be in the very
best condition. The horses were
scored a number of times before they
got the word. The Girl at the first
turn was well in front, but her driver
noticed that she seemed to be giving
out and lie. her head loose. She kept
staggering for an eighth of a
mile. and at the quarter pole fell and
died instantly without a struggle.
She dropped to the ground very cas-
ily, with her shoulder against a fence.
The incident excited q great deal OF
sympathy, as the mare was q f@avorite
here, and had been the chief attract
ton to day. A singular circum-
stance in the matter was that from
the grand stand a rainbow could be
seen, the end of which appeared as
if it fell upon the head of the dying
horse. The band played a funeral
dirge as soon as the death was made
known.
American Girl was owned by Will
liam Lowell, of New York, and was
valued ut S25, 600, which sum be had
been offered for her only last week.
Ben Mace, it is said, was this morn
ing willing to give $40, 600 for her,
which sun was refused. She was
a handsome bay with black points,
by Cassius NJ. Clay, Jr., and thir-
tee years old. Her races have
been without number, and when 10
condition, she was always dangerous
to the best, and not until within afew
years did she have any superior.
OF quite fine form and sixteen hands
high, the Girl always commanded at
tention. For a long time she had
been troubled with spawn, but be-
ing repeatedly fired and blistered, it
was thought that this year she was
as good as ever. The tnrf, in the
death o. the Girl, loses one of its best
performers.
