Cumberland County Men Among

On the 25th of October last, but
three men or boys we're LETT at Cold
wafer Rancho, In the S.o52x country
The party consisted of William Hem
derson Parker, son of William Parker,
of Silver Spring, Billy Lawrence, son
of our townsiady, Mrs. Lawrence, aud
brother of Thomas Lawrence, at pres
ent engaged in the cattle trade, and a
sick Black Hitler The remainder of
the party, numbering Is or 90 men,
had gone to Bruce Creek Rancho to
bring in 600 cattle. On the morning
o: the day in question, twelve Sioux
Indians dashed into ColGwater Rancho
and drove off about 20 horses. This
SO enraged Parker, that he made up bis
mind he would never submit to such
wholesale stealing in broad daylight.
He Immediately impaired bis intentions
to his two comrades. But shor: time
elapsed before he was mounted on a
feet footed horse, with his trusty
Sbarpe's rife by his side Lawrence
had Sharpe's Carbine, while the
Black Hitler, poor fellow, who could
scarcely support himself, had an old
fire arm. After riding considerable
distance they came IN sight of the In
dians, who gave them a warm reception.

of the Indians with wonderful effect,

Lawrence kept up running fire with
the Sioux for more than three riIes.
A similar act has not yet been accom-
plished by the gallant Crook.
Returning to the Rancho, and fear
ing another attack from the Indians,
they kept guard all night. Their many
friends in the Cumberland Valley will
admire their pluck and bravery, and
congratulate them upon their miracu

The Bnll-Dozar.

The word 3" Bull dozer' has appear
ed IN late dispatches from the South.
What are :" Bull-dosers 1'' Is asked.
The answer from a letter from the South
is The Bull dozers are successors to
the Hu klux, the White League, the
White Liners, and other similar organ
izatiOns 1t Is 20 these rufiians that
Louisiana owes her sad condition TO Gay.
Two or three of these bands of from
thirty to sixty men in each parish have
driven the Republicans into the swamp
in five different parishes, and manipu
lated the ballo.- boxes to suit them
selves in the interest oe TIlden and
d" reform" So We find parishes that
have for years given an overwhelming
Republican majority, and which are an
nually Republican, to day reported
without dozen Republican votes.
Perhaps, just here, it will not be
amiss to explain the origin of this new
term of "Bulldozer" 1t originated
in Mississippi. Tie I" blaek-snake' %
whip that teamsters use upon their
oxen or mules is called there by COM
pound word, the FIRST of which is

and the whip called a "BuIl-" Whip
ping an obstinate animal or /" "nigger'
with 1t was called giving .he animal OF
''nigger' dose of the bull, or bulls

used that instrument to beat Republi-
canism ont of the negroes and Obligs

name for these bands of rowing scoun.
drels, "Bull- dozers," or ..Buii-cosers.'
They pronounce it bell do.zers" here
This is the real and only origin of th,
term, and the name is very significant
and appropriate. as many negro witt

A strong Man.

The Rev. DIR. Benjamin W. Dsigh;
says of his ancestor, Timothy Dwight,
father of Yale's president, that lie was
six feet four inches in height. His
wife, Mary, Jonathan Edwards daugh-
ter, was so small that he would some
times carry her around the room on
bis open palm, held out at arms length
The physical strength of M4jnr Dwight
was proporiioned TO his ze. His de-
scendant reports '''wo stories told of
him IN the family" One of these rep
resents MIN as seizing a cart drawn
by yoke of oxen and stopping it, the
other tells of orthineton brsg-
gart" who came into Major Dwight's
garden TO challenge him to a trial of
strength. The Major qaie,ly finished
the garden work IN which he was en-
gagged, and then, "dropping his hoe, be
suddenly caught up the ranter. and,
whirling him horizontally several times
times over his head, pitched him out
over the fence"

Picking the Wrong Pocket.

Mr.. Wolf, residing on West Market
street, had rather xn exciting adven-
ture during his recent trip to the Cen
tennial Exposition. While standing at
the depot In Philadelphia, awaiting the
arrival Of the train TO return home, he
felt pull at his watch guard, and on
examining found it had been cut and
his watch gone, noticing, at almost the
same instant, a man but short dts
fancc f-ou him running. SuppcsiDg
him to be the thief, which proved to be
correct, he started in pursuit. and being
more fleet Of foot, caught up TO, and
with his cane struck him a terrible blow
on the back of the neck telling the
scOundrel to the ground. Mr.. Wolff
was considerably alarmed at first, fear
ing he had killed him his fears, how
ever, Of this, were soon sllayed by the
arrival of the police who informed him
it would have made little difference,
ard remarked that they would take
charge of the thief.
rightly gfasped IN the mans hand
was the stolen watch, which was re-
turned to Mr.. Wolff The thief also
had in bis hand curious instrument,
combining scissors and aud pinchers, SO
that the act Of cutting also enabled him
to grasp the guard with the pinchers.
We congratulate Mr.. Wolff upon the
recovery OF the property, which was
alone due to his pluck aud promptness
in pursuit Chambers6urg Repository.

Counting the Electoral Vote.

Major Mcdonald, Chief Clerk of the
Senate, who has seen forty years SER
vice in connection with that body, and
who has witnessed he counting of every
electoral vote since 1887, eugnt to be
well qualified to speak with reference
10 the usage Of Congress in this matter
He says tba; from 1889 down to 1865
the usual mode was for the two Houses
TO appoint joint commission, which
generally consisted of three members of
the Senate and five members of the
House, to report the manner in which
the vote should be counted. The cos--
mission always recommended that tell
ers be appointed ON the part of the Sem
ate and the House In 1857 James
NJ. Mason, OF Virginia, President pro
temPOre of the Senate, presiding at the
counting of the electoral vote. After it
had been counted, and James Buchanan
had been declared elected President,
and Johu q. Brsskinridge, Vice Presi-
dent, Representative, Humphrey Mar
shall, arose and raised a question of
order, to wit Had the President pro
tenn of the Senate the right to declare
or to decide whether, or not, the vote
of the State of Wisconsin should be
counted Z The President of the Senate
pro ten Mr.. Mason, refused to enter
tain the question OF order, and there
upon left the chair and proeeeoJd back
to the Senate chamber, followed by the
members Of the Senate, without wait
ing for any question to be put to the
joint meeting In so doing he virtual
ly said to both Houses "The power
of counting or rejecting the vote of any
State, under the Constitution, is vested
In me and in me alone consequently
all objections 10 counting the vote of
any Srate are entirely out of order"

Ostrich farming is new enterprise
at the Cape of Good Hope. The nests
of the ostriches are closely watched,
and as soon as the eggs are hatched
they are taken from the mothor and
sold, when a week old, for $40 each to
those engaged IN ostrich farming. They
are furnished with their usual food, but
are housed at night. Between the ages
of one month and two years they are
taken out TO pasture. After that they
