EXPLOSION OF A WHISKY BARREL-BoY
HURT.-A short time ago lad ten years
old, son of Consts itine McDermott, proprie-
tor Of the hosiery known as Ramsay's Tav-
ern, in York county, Pa, near the Maryland
line, was playing on the porch of the hotel,
and touched lighted mat III to t vent-hole
of an empty whisky barrel standing there.
In an instant the Misunderstanding cask ex-
ploded, with noise like the discharge of a
cannon. A piece of wood broke the bridge
of the boys nose and cut his face severely,
and the head of the barrel struck the ceiling
of the porch, breaking one of the joists 1t
was thought for time that the boy would
die from his injuries, but he is now recover
ing. The barrel which caused the trouble
had been standing on the porch for about
ten days, exposed TO the rays of the sun, and
it is supposed that gas had formed in it,,
which exploded like gunpowder at the appli-
cation of the match

Snowden for Sheriff, and Simon J. Martcnet
for City Surveyor.
Hon. Montgomery Blair has been nomi-
mated for the Legislature, by the Democrats
of Montgomery county. 1t is said he is
C. lddatc for United States Senator.
The Democrats won victory at the re-
cent election in California, having secured
majority of the Legislature, This ensures
Democratic Unitod States Senator in the
place of the corrupt and INSCRIPTIONS Ef1igy
Sargent.
Our contemporary, the Baltimore County
Herald, published at Towsontown, has been
enlarged to an eight-column paper, and other

abundant success.

Cornell has the active support of Senator

Thompson is r. ident of the It'll ward and

Kane, will no doubt be elected. He
is strongly in favor of al needed municipal
reforms, and possesses the confidence of the

AN ELECTIoNEERING ToUR.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun
speaking of the political campaign in Ohio
says:
"Thc President is taking an intense inter-
est in the progress of the campaign, and
during his stay in Ohio his aim will be to 20
to the very verge of dccorum in throwing
his whole influence in behalf of the Repub,
lican candidates. The action of the Presi
dent has already subjected him to some crit.
cism, but this will not deter him, as it is a
matter of almost vital Importance to him
that he be sustained in his own State"
1t might be well for the President to read
over his famous civil service order. If it is
contrary to the spirit of that document for
country postmaster to be n delegate to a
county convention, it is equally so for Presi.
dent Hayes to use his influence in the polti.
cal affairs of State.
