Henry D. Rothermel, cashier Of the
Mount Carmel savings bank, Pa. COM
mitted suicide Tuesday morning.
Mr.. Rothermel left his house at an
unusually early hour and went to the
bank, which at 8 o'clock he opened
for business. Several persons called
and made deposits, and just before 10
clock three men were in the bank
transacting business. The cashier
seemed to be in his usual good spirits.
One Of the men had left the building
and the other two were going out Of
the door when they were alarmed BY
the crack of a pistol behind the1n.-
They hurried back to the counter and
saw thst Rothermel had shot himself.
He had deliberately taken his false
teeth from his mouth and laid them
on a desk, placed the muzzle Of re-
volver in his mouth and pulled the
trigger. The bail entered the roof of
his mouth and passed into his brain.
His death was instantaneous. The
Mortified witness of the terrible act
fled to the street and gave the alarm.

DOWN AGAIN.

The sweeping triumph OF the Kear-
neyites over the democrats and repub-
licans of California, reported last
week, fortunately turns out to have
been premature. Kearney stock Is
down again The complete official
returns show that although the dem
ocratn and republicans will make but
q sorry appearance as parties in the
new Constitutional Convention, the
new organization known as on-partl-
zans will be the controlling body in
the convention, having a majority Of
"a over the Kearneyites and Of II
over all parties.
Kearney, who has shown such bold
ness, audacity and energy as the po-
litical leadear of the hoodlums of Cal
ifornia, is an Irishman, born in 1917,
who came to California as sailor in
1868. He is now great orator and
leader, if not gentleman and schol-
ar. Sunday is his favorite day for
holding big political meetings. His
text is, "the Chinese must 60" He
yaises a perfect yell of applause at
the very out-start of speech by adj
dressing his admiring crowd as eel
low bull dogs, mutton heads, mudsiIls
and houseless, homeless vagabonds, a"
That's the kind of man Kearney is.
He has gone up like rocket, but will
probably come down like stick.

A GLORIOUS FOURTH.

There we're all sorts OF Fourth OF
July celebrations this year and other
events of the day more sorrowful than
festive. The thermometer was high
up in the nineties, but independence
day is nothing if not hot. Over In
Pennsylvania the big demonstration
was the centennial Of the Wyoming
massacre, which the President attend
ed, and the crowd numbered almost
any figure above twenty thousand
At Louisville, KY, they celebrated
the day with horse race, OLD len
Broeck against the California mare
Mollie Mccarthy, which drew about
ffty.thousand people together. len
Brock made his four miles in S.l9i
leaving Mollie far behind, which was
glory enough for Old Kentuck. In
England there was splendid regatta
on the Thames, near London, which
the British We suppose did not intend
as a celebration of the 4th, but our
American BOYS Of Columbia College,
N. y. we're on hand with their boat
and led the British crews in grand
style. 1t was unkind and impudent
to do so but the Columbia boys cele-
brated the 4th by winning the first
race ever gained in England by an
American crew. There were OF
course innumerable other celebrations
almost everywhere but here, which
We might notice il we had room' but
none of such great national proml-
uence and interest as the foregoing
unless it was Gen. Ben Buffers ccle-
bration. The General was the ora
tor of the day at Newburyport, Mass.
His politics have become consldera'
bly, muddled lately and it was evident
he had some new and novel acrobatic
performance in view. 1t all came
out in his speech on the 4th in which
he turned grand and lofty double
back somersault out of both the re-
publican and Potter investigation
ranks lighting fair and square in the
open lap of the Greenback National
party. Gone to meet Kearney.
The day had of course its usual
burden Of glief as well as festivity.-
The casualties from fire arms, deaths,
capitations Of hands and fingers,
murderous whiskey fights, and as
saults were too numerous to men
ton IN our brief space. AT
Pittsburg there was a destructive
hurricane which does not seem to have
extended beyond that locality, but
did a vast amount Of damage. Ten
persons belonging to d picnic party
were killed and others injured. They
had taken shelter under large tree
which was suddenly uprooted by the
storm and crushed ten Of them to
death. An oil works was struck by
lightning and consumed with eighty
thousand barrels of oil. At Camden,
N. j., the murder trial IF James Hun
ter, which had excited intense inter
eat for three weeks, was terminated
by an unexpected but generally re-
garded as just verdict Of murder in
the first degree. In Philadelphia

joint ballot probably more than the forty
nine of last session. The reelection of Don
Cameron to the United States Senate for the
term Of six years from March 4, 1879, is
therefore a certainty.
Pennsylvania was first carried by the re-
publcans in 1858, and was carried by them
every year up to and including 1878, except
ing 1862 and 1867. In 1860, Lincoln's ma
jority was 90 o,6lS,which was the largest ever
received by republican candidate in the
State eXceptin 1872, when the democrats per-
mitted the election to 60 by default, and
Grant received majority oflSG,llS. In 1864
Lincoln had SIP majority, aud in 1868
Grant received 2S,S0S majority. The demo-
cratic majority for Auditor General in 1862
was 1928 aud for Judge Of the Supreme
Court in 1867 it was g22. In 1874 the demo-
Gratis again carried te State, their candida te
for Lieutenant Governor being elected by a
plurality OF 4,G7Q, but his clear majority
over all was 30 only. In 1875 IIartranlt
was elected Governor by plurality of l2,-
$50, but the temperance vote of that year
reached 1924 and threw the republicans
into a minority Of l,2l4 on the total vote.
In 1876 the republicans again carried the
State, the vote for President standing =

1857, and Smith, 1870 republican plu-

rious, the vote for Auditor General standing

The Result in this State,

The returns from forty-one counties in
Pennsylvania give IIoyt net plurality of
SO,6S6. In the remaining counties there was
a net democratic plurality of 470 in 1877, so
that Hoyt will probably have at least 1000
plurality for Governor. In the oil regions
some of the republican nominees were
scratched, but not enough to endanger the
election Of any of the candidates. The Sic
cessful candidates in the State, therefore, are
the following:-
Governor-Henry NJ. Hoyt, of Luzerne,
for four years.
Lieutenant Governor-Charles W. Stone.
of Warren, for four years.
Secretary of Internal Afairs-Aaron K.
Dunkel, of Philadelphia, for four years.
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
James P. sterrett, of Allegheny, for twenty.
one years.

--Electrotype journal: Much has been
said, and well said, upon the subject Of
amateur printing; but too much can hardly
be offered at the present time. That some
thing is radically at fault about the printing
business has long been manifest. No solu-
tion is more plausible to account for much
of the trouble than this same super-abund-
ance Of boy-printers. 1t is difficult to speci-
fly in every detail just how all the mischief
is occasioned; but one thing is ccrtNin-the
oheapness with which small work is turned
out by these nondescript contrvances large
ly effects the patronage Of legitimate print
ing-houses. The great majority of persons
who require dodgers, cards, etc, do not dis
criminate about the quality of paper, ink,
or style. If their advertisements can be
read they are satisfied, and "it helps the
boys" 1t is notorious that this boys work
is the worst blacksmithing," in every way,
that has been worked off from a printing
press since the goodly times of John of
Mentz. The price-lists of reputable houses,
by this means, become demoralized and
great harm is wrought.
Another crying evil Of amateur typog-
raphy is the fearful and wonderful "journey-
men" that are sent into this breathing
world scarce half made up" OF all the
nuisances about a printing-oilice commend
us to natural, sell-made" printer. It is
the next thing to impossibilty to instruct
one Of these monstrosities, for he knows il
ALL" He has had an Office of his own! II
it easily seen that this method Of spawning
printers will account-if it does not already
do so-for the marked deterioration in the
capacity Of men, 1t would seem indisput,
able that juvenile printing, in all its varied
influences, is capable OF working incalcula
bic injury to the noblest art on earth, and i
is encouraging to see that the craft are wax
ing up to the fact that the evil must b,
strangled in its cradle.

In paper read before the American
Medical Association, by John Morris, NJ. D.,
Of Baltimore, the writer says: eve have
been for years past gradually lessening the
doses of medicine that we administer to our
patients. Many of us who have studied the
effects of remedies in different doses have
discovered that very small quantities will
produce very striking results. The expert
ment of giving small doses can be safely
tried in nearly all the cases ofdisease which
we are called on to treat"

America,
PROCLAMATION.
The recurrence of that season at which it
is the habit OF our people to make devout
and public confession of their constant de-
pendence upon the Divine favor for all the
good gifts OF life and happiness, and of pub
lie peace and prosperity, exhibits, in the
record of the year, abundant reasons for our
gratitude and thanksgiving.
EXuberant harvests, productive mines,
ample crops Of the staple of trade and
manufacturers have enriched the country.
The resources thus furnished to our re-
viving industries and expanding commerce
are fastening the day when discords and
distresses all through the length and
breadth of the land will, under the con
tinued favor of Providence, have given way
to confidence and energy and assured pros
perity. Peace with all nations has been
maintained unbroken, domestic tranquility
has prevailed, and the institutions of liber-
ty and Justice, which the wisdom and vir-
tue of our fathers established, remain the
glory and defence of their children. The
general prevalence of the blessings OF health
though our wide land has made more con-
spicuous the suerings and sorrows which
the dark shadow of pestilence has cast upon
portion Of our people. This heavy aillic-
tion even the Divine Ruler has tempered to
the suffering communities, in the universal
sympathy and succor which have flowed to
their relief, and the whole nation may re-
joice in the unity of spirit in our people by
which they cheerfully share one another's
burdens.
Now, therefore, I, Rutherford B. Hayes,
President of the United States, do appoint
Thursday, the2sth day of November next,
as day of national thanksgiving and
prayer and earnestly recommend that,
Withdrawing themselves from secular cares
and labor, the people Of the United States
do meet together on that day, in their re-
spectiye places of worship. there to give
thanks and praise to Almighty God tor His
mercy, and to deVoutly beseech their con-
tinuauCe.
In witness thereof | have horeunto set
my hand and caused the seal Of the United
States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this 3lst
day of October. the year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and seventy-eght

| States the one hundred and third.

Kill the Fish You Catch.

A correspondent OF Forest and Stream
says
Nobody would like to eat beef taken
from a drowned animal but when we
take fish alive out of the water we
string them, and, when satisfied with the
sport, we sling them over our shoulder
and wander toward the kitchen, with out
thinking Of killing them. That is a
general rule. l think it ought to be the
rule among true sportsmen to have lit
tie more humanity, and to kill fish in a
quick way instead of suffocating them
But not only for humanity's sake should
we kill our table fish. The killed fish is
a better favored dish. A dead fish which
has been killed will have his mouth shut;
but, if he has died by being taken from
his element and allowed to slowly suffo-
cate, his mouth will be wide OPEN In
some countries a dead fish with open
mouth is considered unmarketable"
The editor added, that fish will keep
twice as long by being killed by blow
on the head, directly after being caught,
than if left to die. Its texture is firmer,
and its flesh harder. On the ground of
humanity, let the appeal be strong. Let
US ameliorate the suffering. If small,
take the fish around the body, and rap
the top of his head upon stone or the
thwart of the boat; if large, rap his head
with heavy stick or pierce the cervical
column at the base of the brain with
sharp knife. This produces paralysis,
and almost immediate death = TScien-
