TO THE POLLS.

On Tuesday next, between the hours of
of Cumberland County, you will be called
upon to perform most important duty.
The candidates for the position of Sheriff
of both political parties are before you for
consideration. Their respective claims have
been thoroughly canvassed, and it only re-
mains for you to say who shall or Who shall
not be Sheriff. The Republican candidate,
MR.. 7. T. CoRT1s, is worthy of your united
support, and he ought to have it. His rec
ord as soldier; his fitness for the position
by reason of his long service as Deputy
Sheriff, entitle him to the solid Republican
vote. There are not enough Democratic
votes in the county, and he can only be de-
feated by Republican apathy and indiffer-
ence. If the proper effort is made, he will
be triamphantly elected, if not, he may be
defeated. As Republicans we should labor
increasingly from now until the polls close
on Tuesday evening for the election of the
whole ticket. Every good Republican will
stand by the flag and the man who carries
it. Vote therefore for T. T. CoRTIs, and
see that your lukewarm neighbor votes Also
Bring out the vote.

THE END.

On Sunday morning last, at an early hour
our friend and brother editor, Uri Carruth,
late of the Independent, passed from life
into the unknown world. Intimately asso-
ciated with him in times past, we knew him
only to love for his genial whole-souled
honor; respect for his warm and earnest
friendship; admire for his talents, culture
and independent qualities. One fault was
his, like John Randolph of Roanoke, he
was happiest when in the midst of fiery
sarcasm. No respector of persons, his edi-
torial shafts were hurled at friend and foe
alike; and yet with it all, there existed no
enmity on the part of Carruth. His most
bitter articles were written when he was in
the best of humor with himself and the
world at large. Had Mr.. Lands come into
his office in a pleasant manner on the morn
ing OF the fatal shooting and acted the part
of man, Uri Carruth would have met him
with pleasant, good-natured greeting
But coming with murder in his heart, he
met man defiant, resolute and stolid. The
result was most sad. By the deadly bullet,
AesAeAio SiAOoO w e1fOiis,C uimSSll lduCIeSl
wrong, and the result is seen in the death
of Mr.. Carruth. We sympathize deeply
with the widow and family of the deceased
Journalist. Their sorrow is indeed bitter
The case it seems to us is still more sad
than at the beginning. Through seven long
and weary months, Mr.. Carruth has waited
for an honorable reconciliation with his old
enemy. Had Mr.. Lands humiliated him
self and met him in proper spirit, matters
would now have borne different aspect
For the man who now lies in Cumberland
Jail, we have little pity, for by his own
hand he has brought ruin upon himself
At the January term of Court, he will be
tried for his crime before a Jury chosen
from the body of the county. Able counsel
will eloquently represent Mr.. Landis, and
they will without doubt make it appear
that Carruth died from the effects of inju-
dicious treatment, or unnecessary exposure,
and that the bullet in his head was mere
trifle insufficient to cause death. In rebut-
tai, the State will be expected to prove that
the murder was deliberate, and committed
with malice aforethought. Into the hands
of the Court, the people commit this case,
trusting that .'Justice will be done though
the heavens fall.''

The intelligence of the death of Uri Car.
ruth, while it will scarcely surprise any one
the surprise, indeed, being that he sur
vived the cruel shot SO long-will prove none
the less painful to the many thousand readers
interested in the peculiar case. While the
profession, propably without exception, de-
precated the dastardly assault, there were
| those who, if they did not attempt to palli-
ate it, at least qualified their censure by ad-
mitting the grevious nature of the offense
which provoked it, until in the almost as
sured certainty that the blow would not re-
suit fatally and that the poor editor would
reap some tangible advantage from the rich
assailant, the matter came to be canvassed
in all its earrings and while much of the
moralizing was of maudlin character, the
effects of the agitation worked healthful
influence in more clearly defining the bound
aries of independent journalism. In the
presence of the dead, while the pertinent
issues of the subject are in no sense altered,
the mantle of charity so amply covers the
murdered editor and his surviving family
and friends, that sympathy for the victim is
accompanied by determination that the
murderer shall not go unwhipt of Justice
that his wealth and social position which.
in the event of satisfactory compromise
and the prolonged life of Carruth, would
have weighed in his favor, shall not be al
lowed to longer shield him from the penalty
OF bis crime. Only through a speedy trial
and prompt decision can the proverbial
impartiality of the administrators of Jersey
Justice be vindicated. In common with
every one, in and out of the profession, we
are heartily sorry it has come to this, but no
other determination Of the case is now posi-
bic. Justice to the living, as well as the
dead, demands this, and there can be little
doubt of the result.-Camden Daily Post.

MYSTERIOUS FOOTPRINTS.

The Schenectady Union, tells this extra
ordinary. story: "a few days ago, phe
snomenon of a very singular nature occurred
at the residence of a Mr.. Veeder, at No. 81
Albany street. Mrs. Veeder at the time,
was engaged at her household duties, and
all of a sudden she was confounded and as
tonished, according to her statement, by
what seemed to be flash of light, that
filed the room for a moment with brilliant
illumination. She was SO overcome by the
strange occurrence that she screamed at
first, but the light having disappeared, she
regained her composure, and, to her still
greater astonishrnent, happening to cast her
eyes toward the ceiling Of the kitchen,
where she was at the time, she saw the
mark Of a child's foot on the wall over
head. She stood moment contemplating
the object on the ceiling, when she saw an
other mark, precisely like the first, begin
to develop itself on the ceiling, which soon
appeared in full, being the print of child's
foot, corresponding exactly to the other one.
She became alarmed and rushed from the
room. Proceeding to a neighbor' S she called
in another woman, and both watched the
curious affair. Soon after other footprints
developed themselves on the wall. when an
other lady was called in, but the footprints
continued to multiply. This curious devel-
opment went on until the ceiling of the
kitchen was almost covered with these
tracks, crossing the wall in different lines of
direction, and soon after, similar marks
were seen in quite number on the ceiling
of an adjoining bedroom. The marks in
both rooms were all of a child's foot, and
were all of the same size, and precisely
alike in all respects. The ceiling, like all
others at this time of the year, is more or
less colored, and the marks on the wall look
like white spots of the foot shape. The
marks are still on the wall, although some
of them have been rubbed off,

Throughout the canvass we have refused to

advocated the success of our party ticket,
