The following communication was
overlooked last week:
ED. REPUBLICAN.-The Murphy
movement commenced in Salisbury,
Tuesday, April 10, and has been con-
tinued successfully ever since that
time.
The opening address was delivered
by Mr.. Creighton, of Pittsburgh, and
in the succeeding evenings, addresses
were made by the following gentle
men: Rev. G. N. Heilman, Hon.
Val. Hay, Maj. E. M. Schrock, Rev.
S. c. Keim, o. w. Boyer, Esq, and
Prof. Howard Miller, who is now
teaching in Salisbury, the best school
in the county.
There are now about three hun
dred signers to the pledge in this
place and the number is increasing
daily. The movement may con-
tinue here some time with success.

and arriving at Altamont at p. m.
and leaves Altamont at 5 p. m. and
arrives at the mill at 7.3O p. IN. 1t

Large Shipment of Moving Machines.

In the Cincinnati E'aquirer, of
April %, we notice an account of a
shipment of Champion moving
machines, made by Whitley, Fassler
d Kelley, from Springfield, Ohio, to
Harrisburg, Pa. The total number
of machines shipped was eighteen
hundred, which required four trains
of eighteen cars each to transport
them, and their value was estimated
to be close up to three hundred
thousand dollars. A fact meriting
special notice is this, that these ma
chimes are to be distributed right in
the manufacturing districts of the
East, where agricultural implements
of all kinds are made, and is, there
fore, an emphatic recognition of the
popularity of the Champion. The
above named firm has a branch
house in Baltimore. of which S. H.
Lee d Bro, are managers. Since
the year 1870 the trade done by this
house in the State of Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Virginia
and North Carolina has increased
most marvelously, they having sold
during the last year five thousand
machines.
The Champion can be procured
from Davis & Townshend, Oakland,
who are agents for the same, and
they guarantee satisfaction.

against prosy speeches or the firing OF

the din OF street-bands annoyed him.
His sufferings from noises became so
painful that one of the proprietors OF the
Punch took him into the country 10 stay
week or more. Leech promised him-
self much pleasure In being far away from
the noise Of the organ-grinders, railway
whistles, and the firing Of guns.
But the morning after his arrival, the
host has surprised to find the artist ready
to depart. 4 cannot stay any longer here
