BY the Clarion papers, we notice
that Mr. T. j. Payne. of Pennington
township, is a candidate for the Dem
oeratic nomination for Sheriff of Cla.
rion county. Now Clarion is terribly
Democratic county, and will probably
elect Democratic Sheriff. In such
case, we know Of no one better quail
fed in every way to take charge OF
that office than Mr.. Payne.
Mr. j. T. Dale has been appoin-
ted Deputy ProthOnotary, Register,
&c. The appointment is a good one,
Mr.. Dale being in all respects compe.
tent TO fulfill the duties of the office.
The appointment reflects credit upon
the judgment Of the Prothonotary,
Mr., Clark.

Mr.. w. G. Mervcn, who has
taught the East Hickory Schools for
some two or three seasons past, will
open subscription school in this
place, on Monday next, the school
building having been placed at his
disposal by the directors. He was for
some time n student of the Pennsylva-
MIA College at Gettysburg, and is said
to have given complete satisfaction as
a teacher heretofore, and we hope par
ents will take advantage of this oppor-
tunity and send in their pupils. We
understand that Mr.. NJ. proposes
while here to give a series of lectures
on Astronomy and History, and per-
haps will take up other subjects.
Prof Ogden, assisted by his class,
will give concert of vocal and instru-
mental music at the Court House, in
this place, on Tuesday evening next.
10th inst. We are given to under
stand that his class has made surpris-
ing progress in vocal music also,
that the instrumental part Of this con-
cert will be FIRST in every partic-
ular. Admittance 25cts. Tickets

j. T. Brennan, Commissioners
Clerk, was, some time ago, appointed
Deputy Sheriff, by Mr. Shawkey.
Should the business Of the office ever
be such as to demand Mr.. Brennan's
full time, he will be found con deck"
able and willing to perform in a salts
factory manner all the duties ircum-
bent upon his position.

therefore, that his sickness is the re-

THEPOOR INFANTS.

The following report of the sanitary
committee on the prevailing disease OF
infants contained such seasonable adj
vice that the board of health of New
York ordered 10000 copies published
and distributed:
"Never neglect looseness Of the bowels
in an infant. Consult the family or
dispensary physician at once, and he will
give you rules about what it should take
and how it should be nursed. Keep
your rooms as cool as possible, have them
we'll ventilated, and do not allow any
bad smells to come from sinks, garbage
boxes, cutters, etc, about the house
where you live. See to your own part
being right, and complain to the board
ofhealth, if the neighbors' houses are
offensive. When an infant is cross ana
irritable in the hot weather, trip On
the water will do it great deal OF gOou'
and may prevent cholera intantum' 10
not allow your children to eat unrlpe OF
dried fruit. An infant under year ola
should not have any fruit except by
physicians orders. In very net weather
dress your children in thin clothing ana
battle them with cold water one, two OF
more times day.
"Children under ten months to year
do not need anything but the breast OF
good milk. Cows milk, when pure "
made like mothers milk by adding one,
third water to two, thirds milk anu
wrrming to blood heat, and little over
one and quarter ounces of white sugar
to pint of the mixture but in the envy
a good deal of the milk has plenty %
water and too little cream. If you ~
not nurse the child, see that the nursing
bottle tube and mouthpiece are kept l"
clean water when not used. The @du.,
ton of little soda will keep them ifon'
turning sour. IT the baby does no,
thrive we'll on cows milk, consult
physician"

GEN. MCCLELLAN FOR TTLDEN.

Extract from a Recent Letter to his Army Com
rades.
But have sufficient faith in the honor
and ability of our southern brethren to
believe that, when left to themselves, they
will well know how to enforce just laws,
and secure the rights of the humblest Of
their fellow-citizens.
In Mr.. Tilden / am confident that we
have candidate possessing all the re-
quisites that the exigencies of the times
demand. In a long career he has
given the surest proofs of ability and
integrity. 1t is very easy thing to
preach reform to an opponent, but a
very different affair to carryit Outin ones
own party.
This Mr.. Tilden has had the rare Cour-
age and ability to do. Against great OBJ
stacles he commenceda and carried through
the hurculean task of fighting cOrrup-
ton and pursuing the Plunderers in his
own party, and it is almost superhuous
I'D say tlldb bllS SoAI etbI SAASA Eg1 SsANAA
perseverance and acumenhe displayed in
those memorable contests prove that he
possesses in a most eminent degree the
qualities 50 much needed in our chief
magistrate in the present crisis of our af-
fairs.
In regard to all questions of finance
and reform, we have the sure criterion of
his past to enable us to form positive
convictions as to his future.
In his hands may be safely left the task
of awarding liberal justice to the south,
while jealousy guarding the rights of the
north, and the issues decided by the
great struggle ended, trust and believe,
forever. 49,
When elected | believe that he will
enter N the duties of his high office

thousand, as readily and perfectly as i've
thousand persons, can hear him.
The Nation objects to so much of q
war flavor in republican speeches. Al.
Iuding to Mr.. Wheeler's speech in Yer
mont, it says. "Not one word of alIu.
sion to reform ofany kind in the govern.
ment; not hint of the need of any re-
form. We respectfully but solemnly ask
the immediate friends and followers Of
Mr.. Hayes, of whom personally we hear
all that is good, and whose election We
would fain desire, without fear or mis-
giving, whether they mean to allow the
reform element in the republican party
TO be represented throughout the cam
vass by this sort of speaking, in which
we are invited to vote for Hayes as a
continuance of the civil war ?"
Il think it is high time to Introduce
something better in our politics than old
issues and greed of the leaves and fishes
If I do not mistake, the country is gasp.
ing for brighter future, and for letting
alone the record of the past. To me per-
sonally it is comparatively small conse-
quence, as have pretty nearly reached
the end, but for those who come after
me the result still interests me. I regard
this election as the turning point. The
names of the parties signify nothing
the actions of individuals everything,
believe Mr.. Tilden to be both capable
and honest, as well as selfreliant. I
know nothing of Mr.. Hayes beyond his
good private character. His letter did
not increase my confidence in his indie
pendenee or his judgment.-Cbarhs
Francis adams.
The speeches of Hon. Geo. w. Julian,
senator Mcdonald and other distinguish
ed orators in the democratic cause in In.
diana have added to the desperation of
the republicans in that state, and they
are acting upon the assumption that
even the bloody shirt and money" will
not save their lettering cause. COnse-
quently, they have resOrted to another
Of their old tricks. They started the
stream of negro importation into that
state, and it is their purpose to dOmiCile
"until after election" from $4,000 to
10000 recruits from some of the NOvem-
Der states who will have time to get
home before their own elections come
off, This is not a mere scare. It has
been tried in Indiana, and the republican
cause was never so desperate before as it
is now. In this very corruption is
proof of their weakness. The fact that
they are willing to put aside all shame
and scruple counts for nothing, for they
are always ready to do that; but their
action is a confession that nOtwithstand-
ing the "blOody shirt and money they
are hopelessly lost unless then can colon
ize certain portions of the state with
vagrant negroes. Every doubtful voter
should be challenged election day and
made to show his citizenship beyond a
doubt before he is allowed the privileges
of a citizen.-B08ton Post

1t will be observed that the amount
due from ex.collectors of internal reven-
ne alone, who have been appointed by
president Grant since 1869, namely, 49,
S12,544.2O, is nearly equal to the total
losses sustained from 1869 to June so,
1876, according to the official statement
of assistant secretary Conant. The sums
given above are defaloations, pure and
simple, and do not include the vast sums
stolen in the collection of internal rev
enue and by smuggling through the Gus
tom.house. Besides all this, the amount
stolen by the whisky ring alone since
1869 will aggregate, at low estimate,
$50. 900, 0O0l
