A WONDERFUL FOUSTAIN.-The Sarnia
(OntariO) O5ScrUef has this to tell of an artc-
sian well I'm that place which recently furn-
ished grandand wonderful exhibition with
out money and without price. The Observer
observes
One of the most wonderful natural phenomena
ever witnessed was seen by large crowd Of peO-
pie few days ago at the home OF Peter Taylor,
who lives lust outside OF the corporation For
some time Mr.. Taylor has had a number OF men
boring for water in the southwest corner OF his
grounds. When a depth Of about $50 feet had
been reached Mr.. Taylor heard peculiar rum
bling sound, apparently issuing from the hole
and. Judging that something unusual was about
TO happen, warned his men to move to a safe dis
tance from the well. Scarcely had they done so
when q fountain of muddy water shot straight
up into the air with terrible force carrying up tho
boring pipe with it as far as the fastennps WOULD
allow, and scattering the mud, water and stones
in ell directions. The sU5tCrranean noises ap-
peared gradually to Increase iu Violence ana As
they did so the expelling force, whatever &c was,
seemed 10 be prOpOrtionally augmented, until the
stone-shaped column attained a height of fully
$50 feet. Some idea of the mysterious sUbterIa-
mean power which supplied the motor Of tn is Cx-
hibition OF natural watervorks may be conveyed
by the fact that stones Weighing fully FIVE. six
to considerable height. while showers Of ron1d
ed pebbles Of smaller size fell like haIlstones
upon circle of several yards around the hole.
One large sized stone struck tir1ber Of .Ie der

hour and half the fountain appeared to make

APROPO> of the recent Improvement
of that faithful and efficient Democratic
journal. the Lancaster TptelIigeucer, no
tice of which will be. found in another
column. we copy the following sensible
letter Of congratulation addressed to
the editors and proprietors of said jour
nal by d. O. Barr. Esq, the Democrat
ic candidate for State Treasurer
To Messrs Stei1,nlaTa and HeHsei, Editors Of the
Lancaster HiteIljgcHcer:
GENTLEMEN-l congratulate you ana your
readers on the proposed improvement OF the
hltelltgeEcer geographically, in connectlon
with the opening Of a new volume. on
could not well add anything to the earnest
ness with which it has always advocated Dem
ocratic principles and battled for the Demo-
cratic organization Its force and power as
a representative of Democratic opinion, and
of the best tendencies of the party, are con-
ceded everywhere, and that business pros
perity attends your labors IS proof positive
of the fact.
1t seems to me that greater activity on the
part Of the Democracy OF the State to sustain
and extend the circulation Of their party
journals the wide-Teaching country papers, as
elias the dailies of the cities, is demanded by
the necessities of the times and the grave I'M
pOTtance of impending political events, par
ticulaTly those of next year. The country
press Is Tile direct lOf'dl tullCdtbA VI b4iI pCp
pie in current events and cOntendin9 prlncI-
pies The one hundred and thirty Demo
cratic newspapers in Pennsylvania reach, or
should reach, the voters whose presence at
the polls determines elections and the poll
cies of the State and nation. 1t IS business
proposition that the press viii be effective,
capable and influential just in proportion as
it is,lbeTally and Justly sustained. Without
its active cooperation our political OTganIZa-
tiOn would loose its efficiency, discipline and
courage ulder defeat. As we have had some
thing more than our share of defeats in Penn
sylvania, the duty of facing reyerses with
manlinesS and determination has been the
tOuch-StOne of fidelity to the party, and III
doing this, and III encouraging the Demo
cracy to renewed eXeTtiOns for the cause, the
Democratic press has rendered its most con
SpicuOus service. Especially in view of the
great battle of next year should the active
Democrats Of every county in the State set
about the practical and important work OF
getting a Democratic jOnrnal into every De-
mOcratic household of the commonwealth, as
well as into the households of as many of
our Republican and National friends as they
can accomplish. 1t IS the best mode of eICc-
tiOneering, as it elCvates all efforts ir that
line to the plane of reasoning and thinking.
Again cOngratulating you on the past and
on the outlook for the future of the Ilteili-
gsncer, and wishing it centuries of Demo
cratic life ana usefulness,
am yours, truly,

of the first named being a reiteratiOn of his
own innocence and a direct charge against
young StichleT, while that of the latter, as
wall be seen by the following dispatch, dated
Reading, Sept. ID, is a full history and adj
mission of his (Stichlers) participation in
the ecOld-blOoded murder. The dispatch says:
The Lebanon Times Of tomorrow will contain
the confession Of Frank Stichler, the youngest of
the Raber muTderers. made this afternoon In the
presence Of his counsel. The confession goes
over the entire ground, and 90 Is principally i'm
pOrtant in its detail of the manner in which the
crime was committed and in alleging that Peters,
the principal witness in the prosecution, had pre-
YiOusly gone with Drews and Raber to n stream
in which Drews and Peters intended to drown the
Old man, and that Peters subsequently purchased
chlorOform ether at Jamestown to give Raber

IT is not Of much Importance now,
nevertheless Justice Miller, of the L. :.
Supreme Court, one of the eight to seven
Electoral Commission, admitted the
other day, in conversation with re-
porter of the New York Sun, that Tilden
had received a majority of 5000 in
Louisiana. Miller and his colleagues
refused. however, to go behind the
figures of the Returning Board in order
toget at the truth, ON the distinct ground
that it would be violation of the rights
Of a State; and yet to-day Republican
orators in Maine and Ohio are bowling
themselves hoarse over the doctrine that
a State has no rights which the nation
with a big G) is bound to respect.

THE Dauphin county grand jury did
thorough work with the legislative bri-
berry cases committed to its charge last
week, performing its duties in the pre-
misses without fear, favor or affec-
tion. s" True bills of Indictment were
found against Kemble, Salter, Crawford,
Leisinring, Shoemaker, Long and Nc
Cune, for corrupt solicitation of mem
bers of the House III connection with
the Pittsburg riot bill. True bills on
the presentment of the grand jury were
also found against PetrOff. Smith, Clarke
and Rumbarger, members of the House,
for corrupt solicitation, and also true
bills against Kemble, Salter and Craw-
ford for perjury. After all this had been
done the grand jury came into court on
Saturday afternoon with a presentment,
which was quite a surprise, and which
was not expected as a part Of the pro-
gramme. against Charles :. Wolfe, OF
Union county, NJ. II. SilyerthOrne and
y. NJ. Short, both of Erie county, and
both members of the last House, charg-
ing them with conspiracy to advise and
promote corrupt solicitation of members
of the Legislature. 1t will be remem-
bered that SiIverthorne informed Wolfe
and Short that Rumbarger had offered
him $3.50 for his vote III favor of the
riot bill-that he asked them whether
he (SiIverthOne) should act the detec-
l. TO, t1I- q and
thus get at the bottom of the corruption
that Wolfe urged him to agree with
Rumbarger to vote for the bill, and if
possible to get some of the money in his
hands, to be used as evidence against
the lobby-that Silvertborne went with
Rumbarger to Kemblt's rOOm-that
Kemble said he would make good any
arrangement entered into between Sill
verthome and Rumbarger about the
$3.50, and that SiIverthorne, to show that
he meant to carry out his part of the
contract. voted for Longs amendment
to the bill but Bumbarger's pile not
having been paid, nor any prospect that
it would be, he then voted against the
bill, and soon after gave history Of his
experience. It is on these facts that
the grand jury made the presentment,
and it raises the question how far an
honest man may tamper with corrupt
legislators and a corrupt lobby without
rendering himself criminally liable
Judge Pearson refused TO issue processes
against Wolfe and his two associates,
and said he would give the matter care
full consideration before acting upon it.
Owing to want of time, all the cases
were then continued until Monday,
November 18th, when they viii be taken
up and severally disposed of. Judge
Black and Senator Carpenter were in
+ court when the continuance was applied
for and granted.

THE statement is made that the re-
cent Democratic convention in Venango
county was controlled by the friends of
r. !. Cochran, Esq, ''who is an ardent
supporter of Senator Wallace. - This
may he important and then again it may
not. What possible difference can it
make to the Democratic party. or what
remote connection can it have with the
next election in this State, whether r.
/. Cochran, Esq, is an ardent supporter
of Senator Wallace, or whether he is an
ardent supporter of Speaker Randall, or
whether he is an ardent supporter of
any man at all And yet, because
Cochran sees proper to be the friend of
Mr.. Wallace. the inference must be
drawn, we suppose, that he is theref ore
the sworn enemy of Mr.. Randall. How
childish and contemplate are such
small efforts to create feelings OF per
sonal enmity between the friends of
Messrs. Wallace and Randall.

THE Democratic State Convention of
New York will meet at Syracuse on
Wednesday next. to nominate a candi-
date for Governor and Dther State Off
GERS. The event is one Of more than
usual importance in view of the position
which the leaders of TammanySHall
have seen proper to assume, in regard to
the action Of the convention so far as
the question of Governor is concerned.
All indications point to the renOmina-
tion of Governor Robinson, the present
fearless and independent executive, and
against that result the Tammany Hall
leaders, under the inspiration of John
Kelly, have issued an address to the
Democracy of the State in which they
not only protest against the nomination
of Gov. Robinson, but avow their settled
determination to oppose his election if
nominated. 1t is conceded that with
the support Of John Kelly and his fol-
lowers the reelection of Gov. Robinson
would be placed beyond any reasonable
doubt, while their opposition to him
would in all probability defeat him. IS
the Democratic party in the great State
Of New Y ork a mere football to be kick
ed about for the amusement or caprice
of John Kelly and his crowd and, if so,
upon what pretense can Tammany ask
for the admission of its delegates into
convention whose action it has repudi-
- Il, IL e
Robinson, if he should be nominated,
would imperil the success in that State
next year of the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency. and if Mr. Kelly is
prepared to assume such a fearful re-
sponsibility, the Democracy of the whole
entire country want to know it. Kelly
is of course opposed to Tilden. but as
the New York World well says, the cleo
tion this year in that State is not to be
fought on the issue of Tilden or anti
Tildcn, but in favor of Gov. Robin
son and honesty in the state government.
leaving the Tildeu question to be fought
out and disposed of by the convention
next year. John Kelly is justly regard
cd as an honest man. but he viii forever
forfeit his good name with the Demo
cracy of the Union if he permits his
personal resentments against Governor
Robinson to deprive his party of the
vote Of New York in the great Presi-
Dental contest OF next year In this
supreme crisis of the Democratic party
John Kelly and Tammany Hail. always
ObedienJ TO his wish, can afford to take
any other shape than that
