which the Democrats hased 'ileir
claim to the succession thus pre-
senting the strange anomaly IN pol
itics of two hostile factions contend
ing through precisely the same mo-
tives which had but recently actuated
a common foe. The ultra position
assumed by Blaine, Wade Philips
and others, closes the door for COM
promise, and the party appears to-
tally powerless to bring the Presl-
dent to terms by any OF the appllan-
ces used to restrain Andrew John
son, when he avowed his intention
to enforce a policy In conflict with
the views of those had elected him.
Congress has ceased to be "a power
by which the preosatives OF the
President can be abridged to meet
the demands OF "party necessity
and the backbone OF the Executive
is materially strengthened by the
consciousness OF popular sanction OF
his line OF policy by the overwhelm-
ing vote cast for the platform OF his
competitor IN the late election.

So The San Francisco bulletin,
in making q comparison of the woods
of Oregon (Which of course, means
the northern COAST with those of
California, says: The greater rain
fall of Oregon insures good feed,
and it has always been noted that
the wool from that State was of &
uniformly superior quality, having
long, soft staple, and containing less
oil than that of this State. To pro-
duce the best quality of wool it is
necessary to have an abundance of
green, succulent food to make long,
soft staple, and a mild climate is
essential, if it is desired to produce q
fine wool. The woods of Oregon, on
account of the greater severity of
the winters, have always been of a
coarser quality than those of Cali
fornia, but have been considered the
best that is produced on the coast, in
consequence of the length and soft
ness of the fibre.
too
SHEEp-RAIs1NG.-- This is what Mr..
Merry, of the Dispatch, who has just
returned from trip east of the
mountains, says on this subject:
Wool growing has become a
great source of wealth in Eastern
Oregon and Washington. Ten years
hence Umatilla county alone Will
feed half Puget Sound and all the
Willamette country on the juiciest
mutton, while her wool will be in
general demand on account of the
length of the staple. All through
the Yakima and Palouse country
great bands of sheep are being herd
ed and making money for their own
ers. With one-third the expendi-
ture that California has made to i'm
prove the breeds of wool-bearing
sheep, eastern Washington will have
larger hocks as well as hi cher grades
Of wool.

His cries for help brought assistance

they saved his life.

The Locomotives Burned at Pittshurgh.-
The Harrisburg Patriot says Several
experts have recently been examining
the locomotives among the ruins of the
burnt round house at Pittsburgh, and
have reported that fifty of them are fit
only for scrap iron. The round house
on Twenty eighth street is being cleared
of all engines preparatory to being re-
built. All the locomotives, worthless as
well as good, are to be taken to the AL
toona shops. In reference to repairing
the injured locomotives Vice President
Cassett says:
There were in all 104 engines in the
two round houses, many of which are
very badly injured. These will be sent
to the shops at Altoona for repairs as
quickly as they can be removed. The
trucks under many of them gave way,
and the work of digging them out of the
ruins is no small job. Those which
have already been repaired were but
slightly injured. The damage to most
of these will not exceed $25. Before the
riot many of these engines were repaired
at this point, but all the tools as we'll as
the workshops were destroyed by the
fire and the artisans of the Altoona shops
will derive the benefit. To repair all the
locomotives many weeks will be requir-
ed and the Altoona employees will have
busy time of it, commencing in a few
days. Most of the locomotives now used
in hauling freight and passengers have
been brought here from other divisions.
In furtherance of these promises an
order has been received at the car works
at Altoona for building ninety cabs for
the burned locomotives.

The Storm which passed over Harris
burg on Sunday evening, the bulk of
which appeared to move along the Blue
ridge north of this city, caused consd-
erable damage in the lower end of Dau-
phin and in certain parts of Lebanon
county. The Lebanon Times of yester-
day says =" A fearful storm of wind,
hail and rain, accompanied by almost
binding flashes of lightning, passed
over New Market Forge, two miles
northwest of Annvllle, on Sunday eve
ming. Two of the forge tenement
houses, one and half stories high, one
of which was leased to an old lady, who,
fortunately, was notat home at the time,
were blown some distance from their
foundation; the office was partly un-
rooted and otherwise injured, the fences
were blown down and trees were torn
from the earth, the like of which was
never witnessed before in that vicinity.

The many friends of Judge Watts,
throughout this and neighboring coun-

about to resume the practice of law in

Edward b. Watts who has already
established himself so firmly in the

Between 2 and o'clock on Wednes-
day morning our citizens were startled
by the cry of fire, which subsequently
proved to be the burning of the fine
brick barn on the Bitner farm, on the
State road, 81 miles west of Carlisle. Mr..
Peter Calvert, who occupies the premises,
loses his entire crop, head of sheep, and
one horse. The fire was the fiendish
