\ dispatch from the Chairman of the
North Carolina Republican State Committee
says: We have clear majority in the con
vention with two of our counties given to
the Democrats by Democratic County Com
missiOners. The convention Will restore them
which will give US at least seven majority.
We have carried the State on the popular
vote by fully 5000 majority. The defeat
and decentralization of the Democratic party
in this State is complete. The vote on both
sides this year was larger than ever before.
The Associated Press dispatches are made
up by editors ofDemocratic newspapers, who
are doing what they can to prevent the
Northern people from learning and believing
that large majority of the people of this
State are Republican to the core and true to
the Union. North Carolina is sure for the
Republican President and Vice President in
1876, by 10000 majority.

Sudden Death.

Mr.. JOHN BOWDEN, a very estimable
citizen and worthy christian gentleman, died
very suddenly and Unexpectedly after about
10 hours illness, of congestion of the bowels, at
his residence in this place, on Monday evening
about o'clock, aged SO years, mo. and %
days.
Mr.. Bowden is an Englishman by birth,
a born and educated Quaker, but for many
years has been an ardent, consistent andprom-
inent member of the NJ. Z. Church. He
has been resident of this place for the last
seven years, and been engaged rather extern
sively in trucking. Few men can show bet
ter record in all that goes to make up the good
citizen and worthy christian. May the peace
and rest which he strove to earn, be his lot.

The onc-horse committee appointed by the
Democratic House last winter, to investigate
the condition of the State Treasury, COM
plains, in its partisan report, that no interest
has ever been paid into the State Treasury
for the use Of the State funds on deposit with
the banks. The reason why this is the fact
is thus pointed out by the Potter Journal e.
g In 1870, Hon. d. n. White, of Ale
gheny, having given this subject thorough
examination, prepared bill to secure to the
State interest on all money deposited in
bank. The bill passed the House but failed
in the Senate. La 1871, the House being
Republican and the Senate Democratic Mr..
White again introduced his bill in the House
and 1t passed that body by large majority.
1t was never even discussed in the Demo-
cratic Senate. The speech made by Mr.. w.
IN the House, in favor of his bill, contains
tar more information and is a more effective
appeal for reform than any report the House
committee as now constituted will eyermake
This speech will be found on page 27S of the
LegisLdtiUe JOMwui for 1871, and is the
strongest appeal for reform that has ever
been made IN our State for years, either In
the Legislature or out Of it.
Here, theu, were two acts, passed iu two
successive years, by Republican House Of
Representatives, and defeated by Demo
cratic Senate, intended to effect the very re-
form the absence Of which is so much la
mented by this Democratic committee. The
responsibility for the fact lies with the Dem
ocratic Senate Of 1871 and we insist upon
it that the Democratic committee of the last
House shall place the responsibility where it
belongs
And, by the way, why did not this Demo
cratic House of 1915 pass. or propose, some
measure upon this subject? The committee
appointed in its behalf complains that moth
ing is done but the House, itself never
once undertook to legislate upon it. The
only attempts at legislation that were ever
made to secure the State Treasury interest
upon it balances were made in and by Re
publican House and were thwarted by
Democratic Senate. I3ttstu3g Connserci.L

An ImnOrtant Decision.

Judge Pearson, of the North Carolina
Supreme Court, rendered an opinion which
IS interesting under certain circumstances
In this case the parties had made a con-
tract Of marriage and on the day previous
to the marriage, the woman executed a
deed of gift Of her real estate to the value
of $4,000 to her stepmother, without the
knowledge of the man. After the marriage
the husband sues for the recovery of the
land back to the wife, upon the ground of
fraud. The Court held that the deed was
fraudulent, intended to deceive the man.
and the stepmother is ordered to convey
back the land to the wife"

Base Ball.

In August of last season the Modoc Base
Ball Club of Washington n j. visited this
place and by good play on their part and
horrible mufing by their opponents ad
ministered defeat to the Tom Collins Club
(now Caldeno) by score of Al to II. Il
was the first defeat the Collins boys had
received and as it proved the worst they
received during the season, and they have
always been a little sore upon it. They
were unable to play the return game last
season, but had resolved early this season
to visit Washington and show the ModocS
the difference between "a and rs as tc
base ball in Stroudsburg. Accordingly last
Saturday ohcy embarked on the noon train
accompanied by quite crowd of the
admirers of the game from this vicinity
On their arrival they Immediately donned
their uniforms and wended their tedious
way to the ball grounds which were some
what down near Cape May, Judging from
the distance we traversed. Game was
called at 2:40 in the presence of some three
or four hundred spectators, including 8
number of the gentler sex, our boys to the
field. Two men were quickly disposed Of
at first, when low throw gave Leigh his
first, passed ball and hit by Syphers
brought him in, when Thompson went out
at first. The Caldenos scored four, Walton
Mcintyre, Holmes and Hays being the
luckey men. Six straight whitewashes
next astounded the Modocs, but four men
seeing first during the six innings. Our
boys received a goose egg on the second
inning the third Mcintyre scored one, on
the fourth Schoch did likewise, on the fifth
Mcintyre, Holmes, Zeigler, Logan and
Schoch scored their dots, ON the sixth
Holmes placed another on the Caldeno side
OF the account, on the seventh, Logan,
Schoch, Marsh, Mcintyre and Hayes added
five more. On the eighth inning base
hit by Shrope, and couple of passed balls
put l down for the Modocs. Huston
and Schoch placed two more on the Caldeno
side. Ninth inning-another whitewash
for the Modocs and Hayes and Huston
scored two more for the Caldenos. Schoch
left on second after a beautiful two base hit,
and our boys victorious by score Of q
to 2. The Modocs' play was excellent,
excepting their disastrous wild throwing
occasionally. The Caldenos played magni-
ficently, every member of the nine playing his
position in first class style; only seven errors
were made by them and most of these were
excusable. The umpiring of the genial John
was beyond criticism, the best by far We have
seen this season. The following is the score.

This is an incident Of the late flood in
France. 1t adds one more to the thousand
examples Of the almost infinite depth and
power of a mothers love: AT Castlezarre-
zin, a young mother took her two infants
twins at the breast, tied them together and
placed them in large wooden trough used
for kneading bread and committed 1t to the
waves, hoping that it would save her child
rcn's lives, as she felt that her house was
about to fall. The improyised boat swan
safely for time, but soon aftcrward the cur
rent dashed it against tree, where it was
broken. The poor woman, to whom mater
nal love gave superhuman force, succeeded
in seizing a branch and climbed into the tree
But it was too weak, and began to crack
ominously. She then rapidly tied the infants
to a branch, kissed them, made the sign of
the cross and leaped into the waves The
two little twins were saved, but the devoted
mother was drowned.

AnInteresting Picnic.

On Saturday; the 2lst inst, the Sabbath
School of McCoinas Chapel, in Price tsp:
had their Annual Pic Mic, which proved to
be very interesting occasion. At an ear
ly hour the school, the teachers, the par
ents, and numerous visitors from the cities
of Scranton, Philadelphia and New York
assembled in the beautiful grove of Com
missioner Posten's, where ample provisions
were made for their amusement and com
fort. The day was delightful and the
large number present engaged heartily in
the various sports of the day. After
bountiful and sumptuous dinner which was
gotten up in fine style by the ladies, all
gathered around the platform, when brief
and interesting addresses were made by the
Rev. M. Alsom, the preacher in charge,
and the Rev. W. Peters, of Philadelphia
The singing by the school was well execut-
ed and all their sweet voices rang out un-
der the waving boughs, and over the crys-
tai waters, the effect was thrilling. Mr.
Stephen Peters is the earnest and eff
fcient Superintendent Of the school, whom
together with our active and faithful corps
of teachers, merit becoming commentator
in carrying on the school so successfully.
