AS MATeERs Now LOOK out in Indiana it
is much more important to have the letter Of
Hendricks than that of Tilden. All the in
terest of the canvass settles about the In
diana nominee.
The New York herald., 1876-07-25

into Office resolved to have no policy but the
will of the people, has shown as much OF a
disposition to have his own way as Andrew
johnson. He is now in that humor with
Hayes and the whole republican party that
he may do anything. The pardon of Avery,
Joyce, Macdonald and their confederates
would be crime. 1t would justify all that
has been said to the detriment of Grant in
this whiskey business. 1t would vindicate
Bristow, Bluford Wilson, Yaryan and the
rest. who are now supposed to have been in
an intrigue against the President 1t would
certify to the country that high social and
political rank was enough to condone crime.
More than ALL it would be certain to destroy
the canvass for Hayes and Wheeler. The
idea is SO monstrous in whatever way we
view it that we regard the story as false.

WHY "NANTYKHADD'S" TREE FAILED
To FALL.-John Jones, of Blacklick town
ship, neal Bethel, undertook 10 fell cucum-
Der tree on his place not many days ago, and
succeeded in due course of time in cuttin g
clear through the trunk, but was surprised
to find after all his efforts that the cursed
thing wouldn't come down worth cent
Proceeding to investigate the cause of this
singular phenomena, Mr.. Jones finally dis
covered that one of the limbs of hemlock
tree standing near by had grown completely
through the body of the cucumber tree, about
twenty feet from the ground, and that the
tree he had cut in two was held in position
by the singular support thus Afforded it by
its spruce peighbor. OF course Mr.. Jones
was more surprised than ever, as indeed he
might well be, for we doubt whether "a like
freak of nature has ever been known to occur
in this meek of timber" The same gentle
man assures that he chopped down an
oak tree last fall the rings on which indi-
Gated its age to have been not less than ore
tree he found the indent of an axe or toma-
hawk blade plainly visible aud of a character
which left no doubt as to the way iii which
1t came there. As there were not known to
be any white people in this region hundred
years ago, the only conclusion to arrive at is
that Lo, the poor Indian, was trying 10 hatch
ct cut on George Washington for his own
amusement. AS Mr.. Jones has preserved
that portion of the tree which bears the mark
of the hatchet, and as he declares that the
cucumber tree is still standing with the limb
of the hemlock protruding through il, people
who don't take any stock in Mr.. Jones'
veracity are at liberty to peregrinate out to
Biacklick and see how it is themselves.

that cold is one of the most dangerous of

which is quite apt to lead to Consumption.

The lecture delivered in the Court House
on Monday evening last by Hiss Fannie E.
Ham!in, of Lock Haven, on the subject of
Faces at the Window" was one which in
our opinion did much credit to the mind and
heart of that talented lady. The lecture is
an arraignment throughout Of what are re-
coguzed as the conventionalites of society
and while some OF the pictures are seeming
ly overdrawn, the shafts are none the less
well directed the wounds inflicted none
the less deserved. The vivid portrayal of
the wrongs inflicted on her own sex, for the
most part by sisterly hands, was true to life
and ccuched in language as vigorous in style
as it was c!aste in conception, as indeed
were all points upon which the fair lecturer
touched. The effort was also replete with
rare poetic gems and enlivened by many hu-
morous hits which added no little zest to the
literary feast. Miss Hamin possesses good
elocutionary powers. has fine address and
a well modulated voice, and is altogether n
lady who does justice to the role she has as
snmed. If our community appreciated such
talent she would not have been forced to lee
ture 10 SO meagre AN audience she did on
Monday evening, but would have received
a greeting which would have prompted her
reappearance amongst us on some future
casion.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN ?-It has fallen to
the lot of a mortal in the present generation
to see a more wonderful sign in the heavens
than the cross which appeared to Constan-

clouds which prognosticated the downfall of
Caesar. About midnight pale, lambent
light was observed to glow i'm the northern
heavens, which gradually assumed the out
lines of grn, loaf of bread and goat.
The gun was supposed to betoken war; the
loaf of bread, famine; and the goat-weil-

VERY REV. j. TUIGG MADE BISHOP
A cable dispatch to the N. Y. freeman
Journal announces the division OF the Pitts
burgh Catholic diocese, the selection of AL
legheny City as the new see, with Rt. Rev.
NJ. Do,nenec, the present Bishop OF Pitts
burgh, it's first episcopal head, in accord
ance with his own wishes. and the appoint
Inent of Very Rev. j. Tuigg, of Altoona, as
Bishop of Pittsburgh. What truth there
may be in the reported selection of Allie
gheny City as the episcopal see we are not
prepared to say, but that Bishop Domenec
has been succeeded by Father Tuigg and
that the former is to take charge of the new
diocese we have abundant reasons for know
ing, Notwithstanding the silly story that
either Huntington or Bedford is to be made
the episcopal see and that one of two Pitts
burgh clergyman named is to be the Bishop.
That Father Tuigg is eminently qualified for
the high dignity which has been conferred
upon him is abundantly testified by tie
wonderful success which has attended his
labors pastor of St. Johns church, AL
toona, and that he will win the hearts of all
his spiritual children in his extended field OF
usefulness he has won the love and re-
spect of everybody who knows him, is
equally true. The honor could not have
been conferred upon one more worthy 10
wear it. and although it Will be a sad parting
for him aud his old parishioners when the
tlay comes for the assumption of his new
duties we doubt not that he will cheerfully
sacrifice his own personal predictions for
the sake of the great good which he cannot
fail to accomplish as the beloved and efncient
Bishop of Pittsburgh.

DROPPED DEAD.-It is our sad duty 20
chronicle the sudden aud unexpected death
of an aged and estimable lady of Franklin
borough, who fell over corpse at her resi-
dence in that place about o'clock this fore
noon. She had not complained of feeling
the least particle unwell previous to her
demise, and yesterday walked down TO late
Mass at St. Johns church, returning home
after services were over, the entire distance
down and back being nearly four miles.
On her way to Franklin yesterday afternoon
she was in excellent spirits, and chatted
pleasantly with several neighbors who ac-
companied her. and even up until the mo-
ment when the hasty summons came she ap-
peared to he in perfectly sound health
The deceased was the wife of Mr. Michael
Kearney, who is an employe of the Penn
syIvania Railroad, and for number of
years the family made their home near
Portage, having removed 10 Franklin ouiy
recently There are five children left to
mourn the loss of one of the kindest and
best of mothers, and their grief will be
heightened from the fact that only one OF
them was present when she passed away
Her two SONS are also employed on the rail-
road--Mr. Daniel Kearney is one of the most
trusted passenger conductors of that corpo-
ration and Mr.. Bernard Kearney is a con-
ductor of freight. She also leaves three
daughters two of whom are in Pittsburg at
the present time, and the remaining one
was assisting in the household duties.
The loss of this estimable woman will be
severely rnourned by a large circle of be-
reaved relatives and friends, for she was y
model in everything that true Christian
mother should be. Although her sad taking
off is hut another of the numerous instances
that ''in the midst of life we are in death,
vet in this case the victim was prepared for
the dark journey, and after living out her
days in the practice of the virtues which SO
ftiv adorn her sex, there is every reason To
believe that the transition, sudden though
it may have been, was only to a better and
happier world. The family of deceased will
receive the heartfelt sympathy OF all who
knew and admired her in life.-Johnstotcn
