HUNTINGDON, Sept. 10, Is

HUNTINGDON, Sept. 10, 1876.
Editor Exchange:
Old Carroll, after all her vicissi-
tudes in politics, has passed safely I'M
der the rod of the new apostle of Rad
icslism, Emerson Etheridge, who
treated US a few days since to one of his
remarkably wild and desultory phil
ipics in which he defended with hire
ling zeal all the fostering corruption
that has for eight years disgraced the
administration of the American gov
eminent. The manner in which he
hourished the bloody shirt made our
very hair stand Oh end-for fear he
would cheat even "Old MOxar Nor
ten" out of his well earned laurels in
that traditional calling. Though Gen.
Atkins was here yet he denied him a
division of time, doubtless knowing
that his fabric of falsehood and mis-
representation was too unstable TO
let an honest statesman like Atkins
examine it before the people. Strange
to say, though this political outcast
received only II votes in this county
for Governor against Brownlow, yet
to-day he has the whole Radical party
of Carroll following like sheep at his
heels, ready to be led whilhersoever
he wills, even though it be to a barren
Hayes field. His boosted influence
over the cold line Wings" has PANIED
out nothing here, for after four hours
labor he brought forth-not a single
convert.
Our distinguished nominee for the
State Senate, Mr. A. g. Hawkins,
opened the campaign in this county
at Marlbro few days since. He had
a large and intelligent crowd to hear
him. The good effect of his forcible
arguments was visible among his aud
fence. One enthusiastic little Grang-
err was heard to remark after the
speaking was over that "that Mr.
Hawkins preached the best sermon /
ever heard" With strong, vigorous
canvass in this county such as our
for the Senate and lower
House are capable of making, we will
carry it overwhelmingly democratic
in November next. Following the
advice of our distinguished leader we
are determined to have no "still
hunt" in Carroll, but after having the
people to understand squarely the
issues that are before them, we can
not doubt but four fifths of the white
men of the county will forever repu-
date even the delestable memories of
MORE ANON.
From the Huntingdon Republican.
Two brothers. named Sam Hamil-
ton and w. j. Mcdonald Hamilton,
who reside about seven miles east of
this place, were waylayed and shot on
Monday night last. The latter died
from the effect of his wounds about
10 o'clock the same night. The for.
mer was only slightly wounded in the
ankle. They had been to the well af-
ter water, short distance from the
house, and on their return two men
raised up out of the weeds and fred,
with the above result.
Mrs Catherine Maynard, wife of
William Maynard, residing in the 9Th
district, was accidently shot by her
son one day this week. The boy was
a gun, and it fred, the con-
tents taking effect just below the col
lar bone. The wound il is thought

Menagerie and Circus will visit Milan
Wednesday, Oct. 4. Mr. Cole is one
of the youngest managers in the coun'

has no superior. His combination
this year is simply an immense affair,
constituting an exhibition of mag

attraction quite without precedent.

hippodrome in which the ancient

surprising interest not only to the
geological student but to every adult
and child in the land and pageant
Of nations Of glittering magni6cence.
For the hippodrome we mention that
no less than one hundred thorough.
bred horses are required, and a very
large corps of ladies and jockeys drive
the Olympian chariots and compete
for prizes in hurdle races around a
superb track an eighth of a mile in
circumference.
THE CIRCUS
performance willintroduce TWENTY-FIVE
Of the most daring and accomplished
male and female equestrians, two Of
the most entertaining clowns ON the
continent appearing alternately in the
two rings. To the circus and the
hippodrome is added Mr. Coles New

drama of the Revolution, q Centen-
NAL tableau representations of Rev.
dictionary battle scenes, and an ex-
