Herculean Feat Of Strength.

Our modern Goliath, John j. Lucas,
has outrivaled himself. Mention has
been made heretofore in these columns Of
his wonderful faculty of lifting heavy
weights, but on Tuesday night last he
excelled all previous efforts. In presence
of score of reputable witnesses, at the
Rentchler Drill Works, he fairly and
squarely lifted on pair of scales a net
weight of 2, 700 pounds This incredible
feat he accomplished by aid of stout
belt and shoulder straps, with iron rods
attached to the framework of the scales,
securely connected with the harness.
II is claimed by some that lifting in
this manner is very different matter
from that Of raising dead weight, but
we have yet to see the athlete who can
lift. under the same conditions, more
than one-third of the load elevated by
Mr.. Lucas. -BelJeUilte IU.) Advocate.

The Country has not had II State.
Senator for 3j Y cara Plea Fer

Il
Senator for 3j Yaar.-A Plea Ter
Fair Dealing.
The time cannot be far away for the Cal
of the County Convention. This will be
an important one; and it is highly neces-
sary that the farmers should give more at
tention to the township meetings, and Sc
cure the election of men of good judi yment
and ability for the County Convention. It
is we'll known that the agricultural classes
have not enjoyed their influence in the en-
actment of Che laws for the Go mmon-
wealth. The origin of government grew
from the mutual deliverance of certain
rights and privileges from each individual
to the body polite for the greater safet, !
and better government of each member,
and the rules and regulations adopted by
this body is the formation of law. Aud
every law made comes from the hands af
tie majority. Then it must be fair and
Just that every class or interest should be
represented according to their influence,
numbers, and their support rendered to-
wards the perpetuity of the government.
What is the position Of the farmer in this
scale? A very important one What
share of representation has he enjoyed?
Very little. People of the country, are you
surprised to know that you have not had
one of your number IN the State Senate in the
last QUARTER OF A CENTURY? And only
three i'm the House of Delegates since he
warY The Auditors report gives the
amount OF Stale tax paid from the county
oil Of
over 900. Which has the greater ill.,
terest and gives a greater support to the
government, and which is really entitled
TO the more representation? This is plain
to every fair minded man. Do the honest
and liberal minded citizens Of StaumtOn
claim the entire representation In the Sen
ate? No. Ii the people of the country
ask that position in the next Senate, they
will help you to attain it. 70 say the
country people are not entitled to the next
Senator is as absurd as to sly they have
no right to claim it atall. To say they
have not the ability is equally as absurd
and fallaeious. and none but q lie dema-
gOgue would assert it. There should ever
exist kind and generous feeling between
the city and the country. Their interests
are mutual, and to preserve and perpetuite
them each must cheerfully accord the lust
rights of the other. The country people
want a man in the Senate who feels their
burdens and knows their wants, and is &c |
tirely engaged IN that business at honle-a
