Mr.. EDToR---W Well, we Democrats of
Nimishillen township were not much
bulldoSed yesterday. We attended to
our business and just cleaned the Hayes
ties out, For some years we have been
easy, trying to cultivate an era of good
feeling, good will, and peace, allowing
Shopf to be elected Justice of the Peace,
Keim treasurer of the township, &C., and
they have repaid us, not in kind, but in
un-kind. After last falls experience we
made up our minds this nonsense was
played out, and accordingly we tried 1t
on last Monday, and the following was
the result
For Justice, George Violand, Esquire,
was reelected over Brown by 352 ma
jority for Trustees, Jacob Bdughman,
August Balmat and P. G. Newhouse had
1856 over their competitors for Treasur-
er, Frank Pierson beats Keim l27 for
Clerk, VIM. Kalbaugh had ll9 majority ;
for Assessor, Frank Balmat beats his
opponent 1872 the constables are Hiram
Meffert and Frank Freely.
do not desire to be extravagant at all
in expressing joy at the result, but it is
an evidence Of earnestness in straightfor-
ward work that Democrats should prac-
tice everywhere. Some of our friends in
this township in years past were deluded
into scratching off Democrats and voting
for Hayes Republicans, but l think that
is pretty we'll played out here. We
found we only gave the enemy power to
injure us, and they did it, when they had
the opportunity. / think for time this
is auSgespieH

Mr.. HAYES is evidently disposed to
pay his honest debts, and to gratefully
remember those to whom he is really in
debted for his fraudulent position. Some
days ago he appointed McLin, of the
Florida Returning Board, to judgeship
in New Mexico, an easy place with a
good salary. Now comes the intelligence
that Mr.. Hayes has appointed ex.Gover-
nor Stearns of Florida, who called loudly
on Zach Chandler for money and troops
and the State is ours" to the position of
Commissioner to dispose of the valuable
Arkansas hot springs lands to the settlers
on them. This is a rich take and mil
lions in it. Without Stearns. McLin and
Cowgirl, Hayes would have had no show
for the electoral vote of Florida. McLin
and Stearns have been settled with
Cowgirl comes next, after which the
Florida account will be squared.

Justice beats SIanker 252.

THE ELECTION in this city and township
was attended to with considerable inter-
est and large vote was polled. AS usual
in these local elections much scratching
was done, the result of mostly personal
regard and trading. All this brought
about the defeat of our candidate for city
Marshal, LOUIS RIGLER, most worthy
man and excellent Democrat. The Re-
publican candidates worked hard and
made personal appeals to Democrats, trav-
cling for week or more all over the
town on this business. Braden, Webb,
Slanker, Tuttle &C., deserve credit for
their energy and zeal. Webb managed
the trading to better advantage than his
brethren on the ticket, and we presume
cared not much about the others so that
he got himself through.
Braden worked hard but John Shimp
got the most votes and Mayor Braden
will soon be ex-Mayor. Ex-Esquire
Slanker, very worthy man, labored hard
to secure votes, but he could not hold his
own vote and Peter Chance beats him by
252. Jacob Plunkard for city Street Com
missioner sails in ahead of Tuttle by ov.
er 300 majority. We elect our entire
township ticket, Trustees, Clerk, treasur-
er, assessor and constables; and in the
city, we take everything except Marshal
and one councilman, surely something
of decided Democratic victory. Below
we give tabular statement of the vote
by precincts:

FRAUD is branded indelibly upon the

Milford, Pa, March 20.
The rain storm of Monday and Tres-
day and the snow and wind storm Of
yesterday were the most severe known
for years. Austin Sheldon, called the
Hermit of Lehman, aged seventy.one
years, who for the past forty-one years
has made deep and dismal cave in the
mountains his home, living upon fish
and game was found frozen to death near
the entrance to bis cave Wednesday
morning by two fishermen. Nearly q
foot of snow fell throughout this section.
Huge drifts from ten to fifteen feet deep
have formed in the roads leading to the
back country, and travel is greatly inter-
rupted. The Oldest inhabitants say q
storm Of such severity at this season Of
the year is beyond their recollection.

LAST week we gave a history of the
bargain by which Hayes was counted in,
and in this paper we give the order of
President" Hayes to remove the troops
from South Carolina State House, and
thus let Hampton have full swing. Now
we hope the Louisiana Commission are
instructed TO report in favor of Nichols.
Let the bargain be honestly carried out,
now that hesitation has delayed 30 long.

The next step should be the Indictment,

THE next step should be the indictment,
arrest and trial of Brigham Young, the
arch.contriver of that bloody massacre.
There can be no longer any moral doubt
of his guilt, and if the officers of the law
are energetic there need be no difficulty
in finding leading proofs. Other leading
confederates who held prominent posi-.
tions in the hierarchy at that time should
also be arrested and confined as precau-
ton against their Fight from justice.-M

II is understood that Mr.. 0'Conor sent
this letter to Attorney. General Fairchild
with his favorable recommendation, and
that Mr.. 0'Conor also signi6ed his inten-
tion to terminate his more active connec-
ton with the Ring prosecutions now prac-
tically ended. Acting upon this view,
the Attorney General has himself made
several visits to Tweed and has carried
out the examinations of the effects and
especially of the information which
Tweed had to turn over. A pile ofchecks,
vouchers and evidence is accordingly in
control Of Attorney General Fairchild.

A Word from the Young Man.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Iobservein last weeks
issue of THE REPUBLICAN that Topsy,
the Argos correspondent, arises like
Balaam's beast in his royal highness,
in defense of Prof. Ward, which was
entirely useless, as there was no at
tack on the Prof, whatever. The
young man in question is somewhat
acquainted with Prof. Ward, and pro-
nounces him gentleman indeed, and
merely mentioned his name thinking
he was the right man in the right
place, and IL the corn and hog thieves,
we'll prisoners, etc., Of Argos would
have had man like Mr.. Ward to have
guided or trained them in the way
they should have gone, there would
have been less crimes committed and
Castle Fink would not be kept so we'll
filled with Argosites as it now is. In
regard to Topsy, or Ezra, we are
pleased to hear that the youth has
taken the advice of this "young man
from Plymouth and placed himself
under the instructions of Prof. Ward,
and we have no doubt that by close ap-
plication and good advice he will sue
coed in making a man Of the boy yet.
Respectfully, You've MAN.

The MISUNDERSTANDING who are at
any loss for means to amuse their
little ones, will not go amiss in carry
ing home a copy of The Nursery.
The pictures, stories, and verses, are
all OF quality that the young folks
will appreciate. The Nursery was
established in 1867. Since that time
many children's magazines have
been started, and after fourishing for
brief period, have closed their
career and disappeared. But The
Nursery still lives, and is as vigorous
and full OF life and animation as ever.
The secret of its success rs an open
one, and Is found in its uniform ex-
cellence, in its recognition and APP
probation OF the wants OF "our
youngest readers and in the judic-
ious manner in which those wants are
catered for. Its contributors, wheth-
er in prose or rhyme, are evidently
acquainted with children, and under.
stand not only what is pleasing to
them, but what is suitable for them.
The stories are simple and entertain
ing, and are pervaded with a healthy
human interest, which absorbs the
young reader and inculcates the
moral, without filling the mind with
sickly sentimentalism. The Store.
in verse are also delightful to the
children, who never tire OF the sing
ling rhymes" The pictures, too, are
numerous and appropriate, as well as
excellent in an artistic sense, and
appropriate, as well as excellent in
an artistic sense, and greatly height

children. In short, the secret OF the
success OF The Nursery is found be.
tween its covers every month";

Baby Show.

The announcement that baby
show will take place at the Opera
House Tomorrow evening has crea-
ted quite stir among the proprie-
tors of such furniture. Babies are
being cleaned up and put into pre-
sentable trim much to their disgust,
and there will be silver cup given
to the lucky squaller. Doc Reynolds
says that the notice is entirely too
short, and that many people who
would like to compete are thus pre-
vented,-the principal reason being
that they have no baby. III these
shows are to be annual, everybody
will have fair chance.

The Rochester Post Office.

For things that are peculiar the
post Office department is becoming
famous. 1t will be remembered that
the Rochester post Office has for
years been the source Of continual
blasphemy on the part of many citi-
zens because Of the mad freaks OF the
lady in charge. A few weeks ago
it was decided to remove the woman,
who is a war widow and appoint an
other post master. Tyner requested
the republicans OF the place to select
a suitable man for the position which
they did, and the man so selected was
appointed. On last Friday it was an
nounced that William II. Mattingly
was appointed postmaster. Mr.. M.was
at one time proprietor OF the Spy and
recently of Michigan, having removed
to Rochester shout a month ago. He
Is one of the projectors Of the new
paper in Rochester, and the plain In
ference is that he has been appointed
so that his paper will be an advocate
Of James N. Tyner for congress who
has the appointment of Indiana post
masters. Tyner is cracked with a
desire to be a member OF congress,
and has set things up" in his dis
trict with a view to bulldozing his
way into the nomination. Mr.. Mat
tingly will be a suitable postmaster
and we are glad to see the office
given to a journalist, but he Is prob
ably not the choice Of the people of
Rochester for that position, and the
result may be that many republicans
who would have sustained Mr.. Tyner
for congress, will low refuse to even
vote for him II he shall be nominated.
There is such a thing as making a
blunder in the attempt to obtain
Office by trickery, and it may trans
pire that In this case the purchase of
Influence by the use of post Office
patronage way will prove more in
furious than helpful. 1t Is such a
plain case that the republicans will
probably give the salary grabber a
plain invitation to remain private
citizen.

Gravel Roads at Rochester.

Rochester held a public meeting
last week to encourage the building
OF gravel roads to that place. 1t was
statedthat Plymouthis building grav-
ell roads which will certainly take the
trade from Rochester. For the con-
ISOLATION OF our Rochester friends We
viii state that there is no movement
here whatever looking to the building
of gravel roads. And we hope that
Rochester will go ahead and build all
the roads she can. This will compel
our people to move in the matter or
lose a large amount of trade which
now comes to Plymouth.

The Townsend Family.

Our citizens-the amusement, or,
more properly. the theatre going
portion Of them-haye enjoyed a rare
treat the past week by class Of en-
tertainments that wo uld show each
and every member Of tho talented
Townsend Family to their best adj
vantage. The Townsend Family is
composed of artists OF talent. More
over, they are ladies and gentlemen
In the fullest acceptation OF the terms.
They are modest, educated and re-
fined, and deserved the large audi
ences which greeted them night
after night and enjoyed their enter
tainments. The different characters
as represented by each member OF
the family In all their plays that was
put before the public during their five
nights performances, were admirably
adapted to their respective roles and
their plays we're handled with conf
dence, ease and grace. Their per-
formances closed every evening with
roaring farces, in which Mr.. and Mrs.
Harry Townsend appeared to their
best advantage. Mrs. Harry Town
send Is young, and accomplished, and
as serio- comic singer has no equal,
her favorite songs receivlnga hearty
encoring each evening to which she
responded cheerfully each time TO
the great satisfaction OF the audi
diences. Mrs. Townsend possesses
an agreeable face and figure and is
winsome in her manners. This be-
ing the first visit of the Townsend
Family, but we trust will not be
their last, as they have, certainly
made profound and lasting impress
sion upon those who witnessed their
playing. Mr.. Harry Townsend is an
actor of rare ability, and suffice 1t to
say gave entire satisfaction to the
audiences that greeted him during
his season OF entertainments. This
Family has been universally pro-
nounced by the Press and public Of
England, the United States and Cana
da, tho most talented and respecta-
BILE in the profession. Mr.. Harry
Townsend promises the amusement
going people at no distant time to
appear again a short season, in which
he will be greeted with houses that
will doubly reward him for his re-
turn. Those who sought the theatre
to be amused. and instructed. could
hardly have been disappointed.
