From this time to the day ofelec-
tion every Republican should consider

can shine on the stump, but all can
have some influence in his social cir
Gle. If there is doubling neighbor
go TO him and incline him to support
the right, place the true issue before
him, show him that it is not question
Of currency or tariff, or mere control
of offices, but one of vital Importance
the future safety of the Government
itself Keep this before the people
and keep up the quiet work that is
all essential to success. Organize for
this purpose, and perfect organization

Samuel D. Irwin, Esq, who has
been for severa! years, up to last fall,
County Surveyor of Forest, and who,
some eight or nine years ago compiled
map of Forest County, which map
is at present in use by all landholders
of the County, has. at the solicitation
Of several parties interested, prepared
new map of the County, of the same
size as the old one, containing over 600
additional names, and will be ready
for delivery Immediately. Mr.. Irwin's
reputation in this direction is a suffi-
cient guarantee that the map will be
accurate in every particular.
There is and has been, for some
time past an immense amount ofpetty
thieving going on about town. The
thieves seem to take TO garden truck
like a kitten to hot brick. During
Capt. Knox's absence, few weeks
ago, some person or persons dug and
carried away about one,half his pota-
toes. Green corn, squashes, tomatoes,
apples, and everything eatable, that
can be gobbled up, is carried off. A
little bird shot in the legs of two or
three of these thieves would perhaps
put stop to some of this raiding.
It's worth trial, anyway.
The Musical Convention of Prof
Boynton, which was organized last
evening, at the M. Z. Church was
we'll attended, and the Professor feels
greatly encouraged. He will continue
the sessions afternoon and evening the
balance of this week, when he will
have a vacation until about the 25th,
when he will resume, AMI clase up in
that week with grand concert. We
can conscientiously recommend our
musical friends to attend this conven-
ton, MS the Prof is undoubtedly the
best musical director in Western Pa.
- II feels these mornings aud eve
nings as if there had ought to be some
more stoves up in the house, but no
man lives but breads the putting of
them up, and fitting the stove-pipes
Tempers are sure to be tried, and not
unfrequently wicked expressions are
used.
"A poor wayfarer who had been
tipping the flowing bowl too frequent
ly. fell over the railing at the depot,
yesterday, to the ground, a distance
of about six feet, alighting on his
head and shoulders. He was not
hurt, but if he had been sober he
either wouldn't have fallen, or else he
would have broken his neck.
AN adopted child,a boy, of Mrs.
DOrcas Walters, died of diptheria on
Monday evening last. and was buried
on Tuesday. We understand that
there are number of cases of this
disease around and near town. One
of Mr.. Tietsworth's children ia down
with it. Much uneasiness is felt in
regard to the malady.

emptorily declines the Democratic
