A CURIOUS MALFoaMATIoN.-Robe Macken-
tire, OF Londonderry, Chester county, had a
COW which gave birth to a calf, on Saturday
night last which is one Of the most remarkable
freaks of nature. 1t was of dark red color,
unusually large, with two organisms, having
two heads, double body, six legs and two tails.
Every leg, eye, ear, &C., was perfect, which is
uncommon in such cases. 1t is nearly in the
form of a letter T. The two heads are at oppo-
site extremities, looking from each other, each
accompanied with two fore-legs. At right an
giles from the middle extends heavy double
body with two tails at the extremity. This
portion of the calf has two hind legs; it con-
tains two distinct spinal columns curving much
like the letter Y. 1t represents both sexes
This curious calf has been treated to a thorough
course of arsenic.-York Republican.

State affairs.

There are certain symptoms Of Encouragement
in the affairs of our State that manifest them
selves to every intelligent observer and ad.
dress themselves in unmistakable language to
every taxpayer. We are well aware that SEINE
folks will say that this is only chronic COM
plant INDUCED ia by grumblers and cultivated
by the party out Of power. 1t is very mani
fest that the expenditures of money for State
purposes are largely in excess of what they
were ten years ago when labor and material
were at war prices. And this is not simply the
opinion Of Republicans. Every intelligent Dem
cratic taxpayer, who is not ambitious OF political
prefsrment, knows that this and more is true and
he is not at all reticent in letting his neighbors
know his opinion of the situation. These gentle
men have in many instances made honest efforts
to bring about reform in these matters and
make their own-the Democratic party-the in
strument Of that reformation. The question
comes up, "why can't reform be effected Pr
Oar answer is because the 'rings of politicians"
in the Democratic party are supreme in the con-
troll of its affairs. Last fall at the Democratic
Congressional nominating convention, Demo-
cratic speaker delivered quite lecture to the
Democratic party-and very creditable one, too
upon the manner in which the ''rings" dicta-
ted affairs. He asserted that 1t was notorious
that 'no man could get an appointment OF any
kind at Annapolis unless it could be established
that it would meet with the approval OF certain
politicians" And this gentleman is not very
remote in relationship from Gov. Groome. And
we have information that seems reliable that ii
would be we'll for the State at the present time,
if the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal doings could
be sent to Albany for investigation, or it Gov
Tilden could spend two or three months as Gov
ernor at Annapolis. 1t is generally believed tina
there are very cordial relations existing between
Gov. Groome and President German. This cor
diality is not left unimproved, unless rumors are
entirely unfounded. 1t may be that certain
changes in the sentiment (?) Of certain Democratic
politicians recently can be accounted fer upor
the affection existing between our Chief Execu
tive officer and the President Of the Canal Com
pany.

SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1875.
Iiadenemdeflce D0N.


Sunday last was the ninety-ninth anniversary
of the Declaration of American Independence. -
1t was only natural that there should not be
universal observance of the occasion this year as
next year will be the great Centennial Jubilee
year. And yet trsre -vauId saer' sort OF desire
to get ready this year for the next by keeping
oue's hand in. Then the numerous centennials
that have been held this year from Boston to
Mechlenburg have in a manner satiated the taste
for things Of this sort for the time being. MOI
vithstanding these drawbacks to the celebration
Of Independence Day there was an unexpected
observance Of it in some quarters. Sunday De-
ing the Fourth, Monday was kept as the holiday.
All the government departments, custom houses,
pestoficss &C., were closed.
In New York there was very general ooserv-
ance of the day. Houses were draped with flags
the vessels in the harbor sent streamers to the
breeze, excursions thronged the ears and steam
boats. parades filed through the streets in gay
STYLE. The city was illuminated and myriads
Of rockets spanged the night with brilliant beau
ties.
In Philadelphia the Centennial enthusiasm had
grown too strong to be suppressed. Statutes were
fred at sunrise. The people thronged the
thsrsughfares. Societies and military organiza-
tons displayed their best in dine en- the streets
Atl2 o'clock m, the statue on Memorial Build,
Jag 1vas s.dicotsd Witnessed by one hundred and
fifty thousand people, participated in by number
of distinguished clergymen. An Grafton was de-
lvsred by Hon. Jos R. Chandler. The "QuakeI
City, is getting ready for boiling enthusiasm
next year.
At Memphis, Tennessee, the colored socle
ties and associations paraded the streets ano
then proceeded to the fair grounds where they
had grand barbecue. Addresses were delivered
nv Generals Forrest and Pillow, and the former
was presented by the celored people with hand
some bouquet of flowersin token of reconciliation
Seven companies Of militia from Charleston
one from Columbia and several of Augusta, Ca
passed through the streets of the latter city. III
ssStars and Stripes feated conspicuously at tn
head Of the column. Hon. Alexander b. Stephen
delivered an address full of warm patriotism
Taking q ueopcE SlOAy IA sAS
ty-rs-echoing the sentiments uttered at IN
Bunker Hill misunderstanding sterner devo
ton to the American Union.
White and colered paraded the streets togethe
in Virginia's capital. There was general suS
pension OF business ana aaITeisaI 0HjOy aseat.=
The observance of the day south Of the PotOma
was more general than it has been since 1860.
For the FIRST time in the nations history tn
Indians of the Indian Territory celebrated the da
at Atoka, the capital of the Territory in tn
midst Of three thousand spectators. Gov. Allie
Wright, an educated Choctaw, delivered an ad
dress.
In Baltimore the Fifth Regiment seemed to ez
pend the balance of the fun they acquired at tn
Bunker Hill centennial and at the homestead c

Centennial grand send off next year.

Four WOMEN MADE WIDOWS BY THE DEATH OF
ONE HUSBAND. On Saturday last Mr. Louis Wal
ker died at West Liberty, leaving widow. Pre-
viouS to hs death be expressed the earnest wish
that if he died he might be buried at his old home
short distance south of Bennington, which is
eighteen miles from Des Moines on the Wintarset
road. With heart full Of love and affection
and weighted with sorrow and desolaton, the
widow placed the body OF the late husband in
casket and started to obey his last request She
passed through the city Monday morning Ar
irving at Bevington inquiry was made Of resi-
dents as to the locality where the body was to be
buried the widow being an entire stranger to
everybody. She was asked whose body it was,
when it was discovered that the deceased was the
lawful husband of the daughter of the owner of
the premises where he requested to be buried, and
who was then residing at her fathers OF these
facts the widow was ignorant, and the certain
knowledge of the scene which must follow the
meeting of the two wives Of one husband under
such circumstaIees INDUCED some Of the citizens
to inform wife No. 9 of the FACTS She was at first
astounded, then mortified and indignant at the
base deception which had been practised upon
her. She instructed the citizens to take the body
to the residence Of wife No. l. and taking the first
train returned to West Liberty, and the first
knowledge wife No. | had of the matter was the
arrival of the body at her residence Since her
departure it has been discovered that Walker has
also wife in Missouri, another in Ohio, and per-
haps others elsewhere. -Des Moines Journal

Dg- cotton factory has been started at
Atlanta, Georgia. The corner stone was laid
on the 9th instant, with appropriate ceremo-
MES. We hail this as an effort in the right d.
rection. The people who inaugurate things of
this sort in the South, are doing more for her
natural advancement in the line of prosperity
and wealth than all the croaking and grumb-
ling that all her enemies in the garb of friends
will accomplish. The South is just beginning
to adopt the policy that her highest interest
demanded fifty years ago. If instead of send
ing her material to New England for manu-
facture she had procured New England enter
prise and skill and united them with her mag
nifcent water powers she would have been
fiourishing with wealth such as New England
can boast to-day. But her own folly secured
her ruin and New England's prosperity. She
is beginning in the right place al last.

we are glad to note, as it is the very best evil

BEEcHER's eALARY.-A large meeting of the
Plymouth Society, which is composed of the
pew-holders of Plymouth Church, Brooklyn,
was held on Wednesday evening last, at which
a resolution was offered, and unanimously
adopted, increasing the salary of their pastor,
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, from $4,000 to
100000 for the ensuing year. This enormous
salary, it is understood, is mainly intended to
help defray the expenses of the late trial.

BE~Frapk Leslie's Illustrated Paper, one Of
the most ultra of the Democratic journals in
the country. speaks ofthe Republican record in
this wise:
"The Republican record during these fourteen
years it is useless for us TO discuss. It has GER
tainly been brilliant one. The party has
carried on its shoulders weight of responsi
biiity Eeyor before assumed by political party
in free republic. 1t has been followed by a
majority of the people Of tho North with al
most religious ardor, and the negroes Of the
South bless it as their almost divine en3aHcl-
pator.
1t is impossible for an American, be he North
ern or Southern, to contemplate the history of
Shjs great political organization without feel
ing OF ADAPTATION, however much he may op
pose the principles, and however bitterly he
may suffer in consequence of its success"
