The FROST.

The most destructive frost we have yet
had in this valley, this season, occurred
Yesterday morning. Although the fog
was heavy and the sun was late strug-
CLING through, considerable damage was
done to early and tender vegetables. The
wheat is not yet generally sufficiently ad-
vsnced to be damaged by an ordius7y
white frost, but the rye is just in blossom
and we heard of fields OF that grain being
injured yesterday. The fruit trees are so
we'll covered with leaves that the young
fruit is pretty well protected. We can
hear of no material damage having been
done to any kind OF fruit

TIE VOICE DE ruE FLAMES.

Every day new instances OF the posi-.
bic uses Of the telephone come to light
and some of them wero certainly not
dreamed Of by he inventor. The most
Interesting of these late developments is
in connection with the burning of the
Office Of the Detroit Free Press. a telc-
phonic wire connected the editorial rooms
with the residence OF the managing
editor, q mile and half away, and when
the fire began, the bell on the
instrument in Tire residence was
rung violently, SO that the progress of
the flames could be calculated by the ris.
ing ard falling of the bells tongue. The
editor evidently had not the true inquisi-
tive spirit either of the journalist or the
scientist, for he pu. his fingers in his ears
to shut out the noise. Finding that this
would not answer, he tied cotton around
the bell clapper, and this, Of course,
stopped the ringing. The pIucHy
little instrument was not TO
be daun:od by any such means
as this. No sooner had the bell ceased
ringing than from the speaking tube
came the terrible voice OF the fire fend
Tae roaring of the flames; the splsshing
of the wster; the crsckliDg of burning
wood; the noise Ct falling timber; tie
hoarsa shouts OF the fremen, came pour
ing out of the tube to the sstonlshment Of
the listeners. Suddenly there is a stop
page of all sounds, and the editor knew
tina. tie communication was broken, and
thst the Free Press Office was thing Of
the past. This unlocked for specimen Of
the telephones uses may be of no practi-
cal benefit just at present, but it may
suggest an idea to the man who created
it that Will be valuable. To say the
least, it is highly interesting incident.

pHnNg

That woodworking genius THOMAS
EDISON, has just invented another re-
marksble instrument. 1t Is called an "elec-
tro-motograph, and it would give per-
feet system of telegraphy even if mag
nelism had never been discovered. In
various experiments. Mr.. EDISON found
thst certain chemical salts lost their fr!c-
ton when subjected to electrical currents,
and this is the basis of the Invention. A
strip of paper moistencd in chemical So
luton is laid or metal
plate connected with one pole
of q battery. A fiat platinum
strip fastened TO the other pole is pressed
down on the moisLened paper by the
thumb. The thumb can draw the Pla-
tinum over the paper SIS though /: were
creased, until the electric current is IN
terrupted Then TIE normal friction OF
the paper is restored, and the hand will
inyoluntarily be stopped. Mr. EDISON
applies this to his musical telephone. In
that instrument the paper Is carried over
the surface of drum touched by steel
spring with platinum face. A sound
ing board is placed en- edge, with brass
arm reaching 20 the center Of the drum.
When the drum is turned the chem
zeal paper is drawn under the platinum
spring, and the. sounding-5oaTt drawn
outward by the friction. The electric
current passes through the paper, de-
slroyIng the friction and the sounding
board drops back to its original position.
The cessation of the current sgsin causes
friction, and the beard is again drawn
out. This mechanical! chemical and eIce-
trio action is SO instantaneous that The
finest and highest notes Of the female
voice are reproduced three and four hun
dred mi!os away.

PRESBYEERIaN GENERAL AS
SEwBES.

The General Assembly OF the Preiby'
terrain church met yesterday IN Pitts
burgb. Such gathering as this ratur-
ally attracts universal attention both by
the Importance Of the matters which are
under ITS charge and the character OF the
men who are delegates to it from the
various churches OF the country. 1t has
always bad the reputation Of being an
intelligent body aud anxious to maintain
its high standing.
Several hundred clergymen are pres
ent, and the business which will come
before them will be OF unusual interest to
the religious world. One Of the first
questions which will be scted upon will
be that of representation. The Assembly
is rather sn unwieldly body, as it num-
bers about six hundred delegates, and
the proposition now is to reduce it near
" hslf This would cut down
the expenses Of the meeting from $40, 600
a year to $4,000. So many plans as to
the reduction to be made, have been
brought forward, thst it is difficult to say
which will be adopted.
The trial of Rev. JOHN MILLER, OF
Princeton, n. j., tor heresy, Will come up
this session, as will those Of Rev. Dr.
SKINNER, OF Cincinnati, for tho same
oiIelsc, and Rev. Mr.. Seay, Of New DER
sey, for permitting woman to preach
from mis- pulpit.
Appointments to vacant Pro!essorships
in Presbyterian colleges will also be
made.
Other topics viii also be treated OF, and
will be fully described by our Pittsburgh
correspondent.

woOL AM WEATHER.

The cold weather for the past week put
q pretty efTectual check upon sheep
shcarlng throughout the community. In
fact, a majority Of the sheep had not yet
been washed when the change in the
weather set in, ard since that time there
has been but little disposition among
owners to 90 into the water themselves
or see their mutton plunged IN. And
Nj j. +. SIsSoN, veteran wool-grower
Of this county, with whom We had 3
pleasant chat yesterday, informs US that
water is getting scarce in the small
streams, Notwithstanding the frequent
showers which have visited us lately.
Mr. SIssoN Is of the opinion that there
will be- but little movement in wool for
some time. His understanding is that
tho mills IN the East are full of goods
manufactured and stacked up last fall.
La addition to the general dullness OF the
times, the mildness Of the pas. winter
losscned the demand for wooIlen wear.
As wo SAID, the stocks Of this class Of
goods on hsDd are large, and, the demand
beng light, the temptation to run the
mills is small.
From the best information Mr.. SIssON
could get from Mr.. HoEKHEIMER spd
Mr.. LIST, the offer Will not be beyond 30
to So cents for wool that sold las. year
for As to IS. This is pretty big come
down, and IS out OF proportion to the re-
ductlon III prices Of other things. 1t is

COUNTY POLITICS,

AtesSrs. Editors Now that the
Democratic Executive Committee
have appointed the time for tho
holding of the primary elections,
may we not hope that the candi-
dates will give tho people q respite
from their personal canvassing, so
as to enable them to view calmly
and soberly the long array of those
who are willing to serve their coup-
try ''for consideration" The
people need rest politically. Tho
campaign up to this time has beon
purely personal one, and the
interests of the party have been
subordinated to selfish interests.
Things should now change, md
some thought be bestowed upon
the party. It is high time that
some attention be given to Joe
Thompson, Ike Miller, Andy Stew
art, and other Radical luminaries.
For full two months we have heard
scarcely anything oxcopt the good
qualities of this can ndidate sounded,
OF the bad qualities of that ono
ventilated. Various local issues,
involving no vital principles, have
all been prominent in your columns,
and a good many Democrats have
como to tho conclusion that it is in
order now to say something in
behalf Of Democracy. All the can
didates are good apd true men, and
it ma tiers very little, so far as the
party is concerned, which of them
recoiyes the nomination; but it is of
the highest importance that the
nominees be elected in November,
and our people should now be lay~
ing their plans and concerning
measures to bring about so desira-
bic consummation. let them
therefore quit shaking hands with
candidates, and leave off answering
earnest inquiries about the health
Of themselves and their families, and
go to work for Democracy. The
victory will surely be ours if we
labor increasingly for it, but if we
permit ourselves to be carried away
with enthusiasm for o friend, and
forget our party in trying to secure
his nomination., we will find it an
uphill business to rout tho enemies
of good government.
we appeal therefore to the can
didates to "give us rest.' unless
we organize now for victory,
nomination on the 30th instant will
be an empty compliment. Demo
cratic supremacy is the chief con-
side1ption not only in the county,
but throughout tho State, and to
make that certain, our efforts
should be put forth at once, Tt is
all.important too that the people
be not distracted by local issues.
The only vital issue of the CAM
paign is whether Democracy or
Radicalisln shall prevail. LET the
people continually bear this in mind,
and govern themselves accordingly.
