A VERY good story is told of the
late Admiral Goldsborough with re-
gard to the etiquette of visiting cards.
He was bluff old sea-dog, and hated
sham and pretense. An airy young
diplomat, a great man OF society and
fashion, called ON the Admiral, and
finding him out, left his card, with
the letters E. p penciled on it. The
brave salt was puzzled thereby, and
when the young man accosted him on
the street and asked, "Did you get
nv card, Admiral 2" he shouted out
"Yes and what's the meaning OF T..
P. that you wrote on it 2 "Oh, that
means en- personne, that I called in
person. sIt does, eh!" said the
Admiral, and went off in mood of
disgusted meditation. In few days
he returned the call by sending his
card around by a messenger, first
writing s. B. n. in one corner. Again
the two met. You received my
card, did you p inquired the Admi-
rat. "Yes, and what does s, b. N.
mean ?" asked the polite young man.
sSent by a nigger!" thundered the
Admiral g

firm. In most provincial markets prices
have further improved a shilling. Inwheat
there is more general confidence in buying
for consumption in addition to a speculative
tendency. Several cargoes off-coast and
parcels on the spot were taken to hold at
extreme prices, or rather above the last
quotations. The French markets are slowly
moving upward. At to-day's market there
was a good attendance. Millers purchased
wheat freely at an advance of a penny to
two pence per cental for red and white.

Several lots were taken to mold over. Fine

Letter from Richheld.
RICHFIELD, March 5, 1879

Editor Sentinel aai Rcpubircdn - Since
our last communication from this place,
considerable changes have been made. AT
our Spring election (Which was rather
hotly contested one) nearly all new officers
were elected. Our Literary Society is still
in fourishing condition, A few weeks
ago there was great excitement among the
folks here, when it was rumOred about that
Wash Amy had bear shut up in his den at
Shade mountain, near Evendale. Many
were the plans laid to capture Mr. Bruin.
Our town folks were greatly agitated, and
the name bear sounded frcn every tongue.
Wild and romantic conversations were in
dulged IN by the people, until they became
-eariy exasperated in their own talk. Sew
eral times about dozen men met in town,
equipped with almost every sort of weapon;
but their leader only laughed at them and
told them there was nothing in it, and so it
was dropped.
Within tie past week Jacob W. Il. Gray
bill shot three gray foxes at shade noun
tam. 1eSlSrAdN dittIuotu duu
noon cur worthy County Superintendent
examined our schools. While Spring is
drawing nig., many are moving to and from
this place, and the people are lively prepar-
ing for the opening of Spring.
Lest month number OF our citizens left
for Kansas, and from the letters they write,
we learn that they are already comfortably
situated, and well contented, and highly
praise their wild and western homes. Others
are getting ready to go in the Spring.
The other evening our young folks had
grand time at the taify party at W. b. WI
news. Mrs. Winey deserves the praise Of
being competen. 20 prepare, arrange and en-
tert-in a sociable party.
g. s. Metterling has quite number of
new buggies ready for sale. Mr.. Meter
ling is an experienced anG well known me-
chanic. and has the praise of maHufactur-
ing very good article both in style and
durability.

The Huntingdon Greenback organ
called ''Ihe Nationalist" has expired.
On it's demise the Huntingdon Jour
nal speaks thus: The superlative
folly of starting this paper was man
ifest from the beginning to all per
sons capable of forming an intelli-
gible idea on the subject. In the
first place, the men who stood IN the
front ranks in urging the establish
ment OF the paper, were fhen who
either had not the means or were not
willing to pay the expenses continu-
ally necessary to carry it on. Most
of them were of that class who al
ready owed printers bills which they
had neglected to pay, had refused to
pay, or were not able to pay. The
very idea of starting newspaper
dependent on such material for sup
port is sublimely preposterous. 1t
was from the start only question of
time. 1t was at most only an ephem
eral, ftful life of few months or a
year. 1t, of necessity, depended on
the amount of credit to be obtained
and gullibility to be found. Having
no place in the wants of the people,
a very limited income, heavy expen-
ses, no credit, no one willing to waste
his money in the vain effort to keep
it agoing, it has come to the inevita-
BILE end

and gathered the poles and brush, that be-

The result of a rooster fight, in Ohio, is
summed up thus, by dispatch from Ironton,
Ohio, on Saturday: Yesterday twenty per-
sons, who plead guilty to the charge of be-
ing aiders and abettors in a cock fight,
which occurred at that place on Saturday,
were fined from FIVE TO hundred and fifty
dollars each by Judge Harper. A Justice
of the Peace was among the culprits.

that John G.. Warner, of Nittany Hall, shot

birds are not more numerous If they were
as plenty as the noisy little English spar

MR.. BEAUTIES CAMPAIGN,

stitution. II they supported the constitution
and were honestly endeavoring to be elected
under it, their course would be Ineligible
that H. upon some hypothesis conceding the
reason and perception OF the colored people.
But they are not doing this. They are stump
ing the State, urging the colored people to
vot for them, on the ground that enormous
benefits to the people will result from their
election. They are also endeayoring to effect
parish organizations and to secure the tri-
umph OF the local tickets throughout the
State. Indeed, tIere il every appearance OF a
serious and systematic struggle all along the
Hue. And yet t9ey equally urge their fol-
lowers TO vote against the constitution, well
knowing that If, upon this basis, they can
secure votes enough 10 elect themselves, they
will. ipso fdeto. defeat the constitution and
therefore themselves, AMI thus preserve the
existing situation Tor year TO coule
Now, several important but pnzziing In
