nounced to come off at Cresson on SATURDAY.
last-marksmen from Cambria and Blair to
be the contestants-wasc caused by the refusal
of our boys to shoot unless the price of the
bullock was raised from $50 (the sum agreed
upon) to 500, and when that was done the
Cambrians once more declined to "assume
the PRESSURE" but gave no tangible reason
therefor, though the Tribune thinks that the

A CAMPAIGN hen DIR. r.
v. Pierce was a candidate for State Senator
his political opponents published pretended
analysis of hi. popular medicines, hoping
thereby to prejudice the people against him.
His election by an overwhelming majority
severely rebuked his traducers, who sought
to impeach his bS.siness integrity. No no.
tice would have been taken of these cam
paign lies were it not that some of his enc
nies (and every successful business man has
his full quota of euvious rivals) are publish
ing these bogus analyses; Numerous and
most absurd formulas have been published,
purporting to come from high authority !;
and it is a significant fact that no two have
been at all alike-conclusively proving the
dishonesty of their authors.
The following is from the Buffalo CONNER
cial, of Oct. 23d, 1877
Hardly a dozen years ago he CDR. Perce)
came here. young and unknown man. almost
friendless, with o capital except his own man
hood, hich, however. included plentyof brains

young man, in this progressive country, If only
all these great natural advantages, and one
thing more, excellent education. He had

He discovered, or lnfenteo, lmp mportant remeclai !

invited the whole profession, of every school,
to examine and pronounce Judgment upon his
formulas He advertised literally, profusely,
but with extraordinary shrewdnes5 and with Il
method which is in itself a lesson to all who
seek business by that perfectly Legitimate
means. His success has been something mar
velous-so great indeed that II must be due to
intrinsic merit in the articles he sells more even
than to his unparalleled skill in the of
printers ink. The present writer once asked a
distinguished dispensing druggist to explain
the secret of the almost universal demand for
DIR. Pierce's medicines. He said they in
fact genuine medicines,-such compounds as
every good physician would prescribe for the
diseases which they were advertised to cure.
OF course, they cost less than any druggist
would charge for the same article supplied on
physicians prescription, and besides there was
the doctors fee saved. Moreover, buying the
drugs in such enormous quantities, having
perfect apparatus for purifying and compound
ing the mixture, he could not only get better
articles in the first place, but present the med
icine in better form: :and cheaper than the same
mixture could possibly be obtained from any
other
1T may be thought that all this havinR refer

! point whatever when considered in connection

DEAR FREEMAN-Two notorious characters
who have been a terror to the citizens oe Sus-
quehanna township for number of years
past and who have been before our Courts on
several occasions for bigh-handed misdemean-
ors, but aIways managed to escape the severe
day, the 23d ult.. in Mexican county, by Mr.
Philip Miller, constable of Chest township, the
his hands by Sheriff Ryan, who evidently be"
heved Mr. NJ. to be the proper officer for the
considerable difficuIty In effecting their arrest
and even after he had them In custody found
no little trouble in holding them until they were
safely lodged In Castle Ryan. Mary Beals one
OF the prisoners, while trying to effect her
Sseape Sed maze rope & out M OF portion 9 her
the he'd post aud throwing the other end out
OF one OF her chamber wind ws. proceeded TO let
herself dOwh, but unfortunately for her
reaching terra f'md she was caught I'm the act
not novel 1t was al least a very daring met bod
OF escape on her part, she being enciente at
the time. The husband of this woman is at
present serving out term in the Western
Penitentary, having been sent from this coun-
~ for stealing and similar orenses The evi-
associate In crime, is of such character that
their escape this time from the just rigors of
much S praise % cannot be awarded Mr. Miller for
his untring vigilance in making these arrests
On last Wednesday evening Nr. Joseph Vance
halted his team I'm front of Messrs LnngDein
Thomas store, into which he stepped for the
purpose of making some purchases, and while
so engaged the team started for home at a fear
home at their leisure. Hereafter we advise
him, as well as all others. to hitch their animals
before leaving them, as neglect of this pre-
caution sometimes results not only In endan-
gering the lives of the anime ls themselves, but
not unfrequently places In jeopardy the more
precious lives of human beings who may
chance at the time to be In the way of the fly
ing steeds.
Il becomes our painful duty once more to
chronicle another painful mishap to eur un-
fortunate citizen, Mr.. Adam Ieden, who,
Saturday morning last, started for Carro!town
mounted on young horse he intended to sell
to drOver at that place, and having tin
bucket on his arm at the time. the animal took
fright at the noise IL made and started of at
break neck speed, throwing Mr.. l.. against a
bitching- post near the Catholic church and
cutting ugly cash In his forehead. besides
inflicting other less serious injuries. THIS un-
pleasant experience has once more confined
Mr.. l.. to bis room, from which he only recent
iy emerged after recovering from the effects
OF a rather too intimat' intercourse with the
hind leg of a skittish young horse. GLENN.

IRE raUE AMERICAN GIRL.

H. "LH Us"
This is What the american Register tells
the Parisians perverted by the Iibels of
"L'Oncle"
Your true Aiaciican girl is a very
charming being. Liz all creatures reared
IN freedom, she posscsscs an untaught
trace and vigor Of mind us well us of body.
She is no helpless puppet, MS is her Euro
lcan prototype, pulled about by hidden
wires, and kept pcrpetunlIy in a box.
Bred amid the healthful atmosphere of a
social system of exceptional purity, re-
spected, honored, and guarded from baby
hood by the chivalrous natures that sur.
round her, she learns to think and act for
herself, and to think and act Alright. 1t ia
well nigh impossible to over-estimate her
influence on u social system. Reared at
her side, he American youth grows up
with an instructive reverence for and desire
TO protect helpless innocence and maidenly
purity. The salons to which she lends the
charm of her winning graces and youthful
sweetness are more potent for good than
were the salons of Recamier or De Stasl.
The love that she insbres is a young mans
best shield against temptation. 1t is owing
to her, n to the gentle magic of her COM
partnership, that the demi-monde is not yet
a power in our land. She does not herself
understand, the smiling maiden, what good
she has done, and is doing every day. Yet
her white image has waved back many o
youth from the pathway Of temptation, her
clear eyss lent light to the comprehension
u better things"
