4 LASDEsBERs, Oct. 25, 1878.
MgssRs. EprToRs:--Sinee writing my
ast letter we have had our full quota
II excitement and sensation, fact and
ction, order and disorder, politics and
Ioral Suasion, have held "high carni-
Ial" over the minds and tongues of
|nr subjective inhabitants, and the
elements" have performed the same
nice for their property; these have been
piced with a little pratice Of the imam
y art" No wonder we are still alive.
The political ball was set rolling, as
intimated in my last, by a Republican
neeting in the Hall, which was address
"a by Messrs. Gilkyscn and Croft; the
Nesting was called TO order few min
hes after eight o'clock with DR.. West,
i Kimbleville, in the chair; both law
ers had said their recitations, and the
I|ail was closed by about quarter to
line; they were the most miserable
kponents Of the grand old principles
u the Republican party, weaver heard.
he next on the programme, was an ex-
tibition of the Rag Baby alias National
reen back principles, which was set
birth in an able manner, at the same
4lace, on the evening of the 23rd inst.
nt one days notice had been given
~ a goodly sized audience had as
2Smtled to hear Col. Mattson expatiate
bon the same; the audience had been
thoroughly canvassed in a fruitless
ndeavor to secure some one willing to
eside, till at length Mr.. John G..
1&ckson of iockessin, assembled the plat
11sm and bid for cne; finally Mr.. James
Zach, who had been previously elected
M the audience, stepped up and as
GaEaed the dignities of the position.
Mr.. Jackson was then introduced by
AtH chairman. 1t would be impossible
t0Eive an outline in this letter of the
rS1harks made upon that occasion.-
IAeir statements as to the business de-
TIsssion of the country and the capital
SSpression of labor, together with their
nse, were, for the great part, just
"a true, but the only remedy they
"a to suggest for the healing Of the
bease was another and greater dose
~ the irritable drug that produced it.
The schism in the Moral Suasion
hks has widened and deepened, and
ere is what seems to be an impassoble
II betwixt the leaders and the asso.
tion, but it is thought that the ship
y weather the storm. The schismati-
egotsts, who resigned their men,
fship, did talk of organizing a coun-
society, with its headquarters at
vlis' Hotel, but hear that this has
Rn abandoned, and wha. the outcome
he matter will be Is hard to deter
pe.
ednesday's hurricane did compare
ly little damage, beyond the raz-
of few rickety fences in the i'm
late village; but for miles around
farmers sustained such damage
wind AZ has not been heard of in
recollection of the Oldest inhabi-
|: the following is list so far as
I'D of the damage: VIM. Pennocks
ION house blown down, Henry
mpson's new shed, Jas. Hollings.
IA th corn crib and wagon house met
lar tate, Jackson Bros, about 400
RI of fence, all scattered to the four
ts OF Heaven. a new house being
between here and Avondale was
Jed away from its foundation, some
else's barn reported missing, a
leman in the store last evening
that he had but about two bars
ding out of all his fences, the
Pol house on the hill had one of its
pillars which supports the porch
IN out, and the others severely
nched corn shocks are thrown
lnd promisciously in all directions.
