THE MASS MEETING.

The meeting o. the citizens at the Court
House on Tuesday was large and composed of
men of brains, looking TO the best interests
of the people Of the county. AS advertised,
the meeting was not intended 10 make or mar
the prospects Of either Of the political parties
Of the county, but to devise means to lessen
the rate of taxation in the State and county
The effort Of one individual to call meet
ing 10 make nominations for The Legislative
ticket was ruled out Of order, as it ought
to have been in meeting not called for politi-
cal purposes, and the effort of certain parties
to ride into Office upon new issues will meet
with poor success in The future.
The fact of the business is this: The State
is Democratic, and, Notwithstanding past fends,
the people of our county are largely of the
same mind, and they propose to make all and
any changes in the laws which may be neces-
sary for the good of the people without
abandoning the organization, the wants and
wishes of those who banker for the loaves
and fishes TO the contrary Notwithstanding.
The great party Of the Constitution is now
engaged on the skirmish line with the party OF
q fraudulent President 10 getting their forces in
position for the grand fight against the power
Of bayonets and public thieves, and it is the
duty Of every onewho wishes to see the gov
eminent of our forefathers exist in its pris-
tine purity toSeses Ss6,self in the holy cause,
and not let such dissension as has wrongfully
handed over the control Of this Congressional
district to the common enemy come in the
way OF party success at the next Presidential
election-perhaps the last in the history Of the
Republic should Grant and bis hired minions

SAD ACCIDENT. - Last Wednesday
morning, as the morning train north
on the ID. A. ". &. P. Railroad was
rounding the curve just this side OF
Irvineton, 1t came upon man walk
ing on the track, and SD close that the
train could not be stopped. The en-
gine struck him in the back and threw
him with terrible force some distance.
AS soon as possible the train was
stopped and the train men went to his
assistance. He was picked up insen-
sible and brought to this station, and
carried to the Revere House. Drs.
Stewart and Stranahan were called
and examined him, finding that he
had sustained severe injuries in the
back, his right leg fractured near the
hip, and his skull fractured over the
right eye. His injuries were treated
as best they could be, but it is moi
thought that he can recover. His
name is John Zimmerly, aged 65 years
and deaf. He had been to Youngs,
Vile for a physician to see his wife
and was on bis way home when struck
by the engine. Being deaf he did n
hear, the. train, and of course had nc
notice of its coming until 1t struck
him. He Is at the Revere House now

Shot In Revenge.

From the Lock Haven Daily Journal.l
Matters have come to terrible pass
in the neighborhood Of F. F. Nc.
Closkey's place in Woodward town.
ship. Not long since our readers will
remember that his house was robbed,
aud q few nights afterward second
attempt was made, when Miss Louisa
Gross shot the robber and Inflicted n
wound, as blood found on the grass
next morning showed. No special
effort having been made to catch the
desperado, IL seems that the wounded
man had determined to have revenge
on Miss Gross.
Mr.. McCloskey is huckster, and
last Saturday being market day. Miss
Gross got up at about half-past two to
get breakfast. Mr.. McCloskey went
to the barn in the meantime, fed his
horse and returned to the house and
ate breakfast. About four he loaded
his wagon with Miss Gross assistance.
After finishing, she returned to enter
the house, and while passing the
kitchen window, from which shone n
bright light, pistol shot was heard,
and Miss G.. felt a strange sensation in
the breast. After entering the house
she made an examination, and discov-
cred that the ball had struck a button
of her dress, splitting it, and making
quite an abrasion of the skin. She
immediately notified Mr.. McCloskey
and, two gentlemen who had been
stopping there over night, and the
party armed themselves and started
in pursuit. A thorough search of the
premises was made but nobody was
found.
1t is supposed that the would-be
murderer bid himself behind the bake
oven, and from there drew deadly
bead upon his intended victim, who
was only saved by button.
g., 1t is high time that this matter was
looked up. If robbers are permitted to
plunder at will and then kill the par.
ties whom they robbed because of max
ing a justifiable defense extraordinary
measures shout be taken.
