IMpoRTANT To NoTERs.-The follow,
Ing. so tersely stated BY The Clearfeld Re-
pn5licGa. is Of the utmost importance q
every voter and politician;
The regular assessment or registry lists
for the coming tall election have already
been made. and are now placed at the
polling places in the various districts as
required by law. Unjer the new cpnsii-
tuition every person desiring to vote at the
approaching November election must have
resided Tor the period of two months-six-
ty days-in the election district where he
offers TO vote. and il over twenty two
years 81 age, shall have paid within two
years a State or county tax, which shall
have been assessed at least two months,
and paid at least one month before the day
of election. More: TIE citizen lsA0 re
moces from n borough or tocaship 10
another betreeB the ffh Of September and
election dag loses his right to r0se; because
he must swear that he has resided at least
sixty days in the district where he offers to
vote. Andif he has resided but five, ten
or twenty days there he cannot declare
that he has lived sixty days therein
Those who wish to vote the coming fall
had better examine the list OF voters in
the hands of the assessor Tor the one to be
found at the election house,. and see il
their names are enrolled. II not on the
list, inform the assessor of the omission.
The omission ofnames produces more con
fusion and trouble on election day than all
defects put together, and 1t is one of the
simplest duties enjoined upon the assessor,
and it iseQually simple if the voter does
not know that his name is not on the list
until he offers his ticket and some n
challenges him. Il becomes the duty of
the citizen from this until the fourth of
September sixty days before the election
to apply TO the assessor if he wants his
name placed on the list. 1t is the duty of
every assessor to remain at the election
house in his respective district on the Sd
and 4th days Of September next, when
those not registered can find him and have
their names placed upon the list of voters.
Under the change made in our election
laws an assessor renders himself liable TO a
fine Of 800 and three months imprison-
ment for assessing a tax against any per-
son after the time specified in the law for
olnsfpn his lahn~c

Last Sunday night a man named George
Duvall and a boy named Smith, cut 3 hole
in the brick wall of the Bedford. Penrsyl-
vania. jail. and after erawling out sealed
the outside wall by means OF q rope made
from their blankets. Tuesday morning
they passed Centreville. making their way,

were seen by ex-SheriH Si~ecknan. who
arrested them and returned them TO their
old quarters. Duvall is q tailor by trade,
and formerly lived in this city. He was
in jail on 4 charge of having stolen a knife

This is the season when careful house
keepers are picking out fine, ripe, red wa
iermelons, and getting a pale pink me al
most every time. Here Is a rule for get
ting a ripe one that is said 10 he iniallible:
When the melon begins to change color in
side and its seeds 10 turn black, q small
black speck or blister begins to appear on
the outer rind. These are multiplied and
enlarged as the fruit natures. In a fully
ripencd melon they are thickly strewn
over the surface. In 4 row Of n hun
dred melons spread along the sidewalk
not more than five or six fully ripe ones
will often be found.

From tho Altoona TribuHs VIC learn
that on Tuesday last a three year old son
Of William Otto, of that place was stran-
gied 10 death under peculiarly sad circum-
stances. In attempting TO take a drink
from a hydrant he placed his mouth over
the nozzle and turned on the water in such
force that it completely ~siraugled him, his
teeth closing tightly over the nozzle Of the
hydrant. AT this moment his mother ap-
peared at the rear entrance on hearing the
noise she rushed to The hydrant and found
her son clinched fast to the pipe. She i'm
mediately turned off the water, and she
found that the boy was not loose, and in
her attempt 20 get him from the hydrant
nearly all his teeth were torn out. Apply
stefan was summoned but the vital spark
had flown.

The average wheat crop of Tie State
being about Is, 750. 600 bushels, we may
place that Of 1878 at is, 100, 600, with
chances in favor OF a decrease to 10, $780,
coo bushels under the final test Of the hall
bushel. The increased acreage, when
compared with that Of the past ten years,
is largely due to the fact that in the oil and
lumber counties the stagnation Of bust
ness has forced men into agricultural pur.
suits. Thus in comparison with the past
ten years Warren reports double the area
in wheat; Potter reports two and one-halt
times the average area Of the past ten
years, and Cameron one and three-quarter
times"

National Independent HepubiicaB
Ticket.

To THE REPUBLTCANS OF SOMERSET
CoUSTY.-The returns ofthe late so-called
Republican Primary Election show a vote
OF 1851 in excess of the Republican vote
cast for President in 1876, which clearly
demonstrates that the ticket nominated
was not the choice of the party, but OF the
flteen hundred persons voting contrary 10
the known party rules. That, however, is
not the most Objectionable feature OF the
returns. But the well known facts that
certain returns were held back tor
hours. though in the borough OF Somerset:
that many precincts were counted under
lock and key, after ejeoting the voters;
that many votes were counted for one
man while cast for another, and that va
rious sums Of money were used 20 bring
about such results, are Objectionable fea-
lures, against which we, and we call upon
you, as honest, law-a5iding, and order
loving citizens to stoutly protest,
and thereby show that we are opposed 10,
and will not tolerate fraud and corruption,
