The Bloomfield Times of last week
SAYS On eduesday, the 2ud of Au-
gust, Mr.. VIM. Metz, Of Rye township,
Perry county, died very suddenly. He
ate hearty breakfast that morning,
and about nine O'clock, as he was seated
on a chair, his houseseeper noticed him
sinking, but before sic could get hold
of bim, be fell off aud was dead. lie

complaining of not feeling we'll for some
time, but was still up and doing some
work.
On Wednesday evening at about s
o'clock, the young man having charge
of Judge Juukin's stables, found one Of
the horses, aud saddle aud briJle
missing. A few minutes later it was
learned that the horse had been seen
going towards Duncannon, rode BY lad
named jesse March, boy about ten
years of age. He was tracked for about
FIVE miles to the residence of Mr.
christian Weaver, where the boy had
stopped for the night, and the horse
was found properly cared for in the
stable. The boy was brought back to
town, and, owing to his extreme youth.

REV. STEUARr BANKS preached in
the Presbyterian church last Sabbath
evening.
After the reading of the 18th chap
ter of LIST Samuel, the text was found
ed in the same book, in the l4th chap
ter and 10th verse.
Then followed most beautiful, inter-
estiDg and instructive introductory on
the place Of residence of the chief ac
tors Of the chapter read, and the dis
satisfaction of the Jews with their sys
TEN of government, which was differ
ent from all other governments at that
0ay, and different from all other gov
ernments since. The demand for d
change of government from that under
Gods immediate direction TO that of
a government uuder King, was elo-
quently dwelt on.
Who Saul, the first King, was, his
personal appearance, bearing and mod
estv, was brought out IN manner that
awakened the deepest interest.
From the introductory the Reverend
gentleman deduced the following les
sons:
lst. That God scmet,mes abandons a
people 10 their orn folly.
md. That God sometimes chooses the
most unlikely Instruments for the accom-
plishmenf Of has objects.
After DWELLING Iearnedly and feel
ingly on these points. the preacher took
up Saul's career as King, his abandon
ment of God, aud the punishment im-
posed on him for his folly, aud thence
TO the whole grand inspiring lesson o'
the chapter read and the text unfolded
namely, E" The danger Of forsak,ng The
Lord"
Ii is source of regret that space
confines us to SO limited an outline ot
this good sermon, the effect of which
on the audience present, was quite
noticeable.

How DRINKING CURES ApopLExy.

How DRINKING CURES ApOpLExY.-
1t is the essential nature of all wines and
spirits TO send an increased amount of
blood to the brain. The first effect of
taking glass of wine or stronger form
OF alcohol is to send the blood there faster
than common; hence, the circulation
that gives the red face. 1t increases the
activity of the brain, and it works faster,
and so 'oes the tongue. But as the blood
goes t the brain faster than common, it
returns faster, and no special harm re-
suits. But suppose man keeps on
drinking, the blood is sent to the brain
so fast in such quantities that, in order To
make room for it, the arteries have to en-
large themselves; they increase in size,
and, in doing so, they press against the
moro yielding, faccid veins which carry
the Ilood out of the brain, and thus di-
minish their size, their pores, the result
being that blood is not only carried to
The arteries of the brain faster than is
natural or healthful, but is prevented
from leaving it IS fast rs usual; hence, 8
double set Of causes of death are set in
motion. Hence, q man may drink
enough of brandy or other spirits in a
few hours, or even minutes, to bring on d
fatal attack Of aroplexy. This is literal
ly being dead drunk.-Dr. Hall.

The campaign Of 1876 has, since its
opening, been one Of great RESULTS It
will be remembered nany years TO come
not only for the historical event which.
will mark its close, but for the episodes
which illustrates its progress. r. 't''''
General Hampton, who has been. 60
far, eminently successful in steering the
ship of reform through the troubled and
muddy waters or the present cainpaign,
is, by his nomination for goyeynor OF
South Carolina, the most prominent man
in the ranks Of our Southern refornerss.

been tho privilege Of his happy nature
to cultivate a personal friendship ipwith3ali
classes OF his countrymon,' the coloYeCl
people not excepted, so that his State has
warmed towards him, as he isgoins to
reach the eliminating honor of his life,
the honor TO become the redeamer Of his
native State. This personal sympathy is

/ IA, ~ oSv:nolxr,

As lfe's unending column pouTs,
Two marshaied hosts are seen-
Two armies OH the trampIed shores
That death flows black between. .
One marches to the nm-beats roll,
The wide mouthed clarion's bray,
And bears a crimson scroll,
"Our glory is to slay."
One moves in silence by the stream,
With sad, yet watchful eye,
Calm as the patient planets gleam
That walks the clouded slies.ui
Along its front no sabres shine,
No blood-red pennons wave:
It's banner bears single line,
"Our duty is to save"
For those no death-bed's lingering shade;
At honor's trumpet call,
With knitted brCw and lifted blade,
In glory aims they fall.
For these no flashing falchions bright,
No stirring battle cry;
The bloodlcss stabber calls by night
Each answers, "Hcre am Ir'
For these the. scnlptor's laufrsled bust,
The builders marble piles,
The anthems s peallnS o cr their dust
>. Through long cathedral aisles.
For these the blossom -sprinkied turf.
That floods the lonely graves
When spring rolls in Dsr sea-green surf
In fowery- -foamin5 waves.
Two paths lead upward from below,
And angels wait above,
Who count each burning life.drop's flow,
Zach falling tear Of love.
Though from the hero's bleeding breast
Her pulses freedom drew,
Though the white lilies in her crest
Sprang from that scarlet dew
While valor's naughty champions wait
Till all their scars are shown,
Love walks unchallenged through the gat
TO sit beside the throne!

WILL THEY WIN

The whites are so united and determ-
incd, and have SO many "rife teams"
that they would certainly win were it not
for the large Federal force in the State.
| we'll scattered, and with positive orders
to see that the blacks have all the rights
guaranteed to them by the Democratic
platforms and Scott Lord resolutions.
| AS it is, they may win anyway. One
day think they will, and the next day
think they will not, and am all the time
| Of the opinion that the chances are pretty
| evenly balanced. AS to the Federal
troops "intimidating" the whites, the
very idea is so positively ridiculous that
| can not write about it with patience.
/ The stuff which appears in Northern
Democratic papers about the army being
used to intimidate the whites, and pre-
vent q fair election, is idiotic. Every
Federal soldier, and every musket and
every cannon in the service might all be
moved into South Carolina, and it would
not keep one white man from voting, not
one. Everybody here understands this
perfectly we'll. What the South Carolina
editors have TO say about it is Tor effect
up North, and not because they fear that
