one Of the best !oca! papers IN the state
We are lsbor;ng TO iha, end. and 10 or

get the news from all parts Of the county
every week, and in order to accomplish
this We must have . correspondent ln
every precinct and at every post othco
and cross 70 ,ds in the county. Anyone car
GIL 4 postal card with news items once a
week. We will furnish the carts. we DO
not want long letters IL a general thing.
We want ners items. People take the
local paper for the locll news. and
that is what We ar bound TO give the
readers OF the CHIEF. Send US the news.
Our attention has been called to the
select school opened by our ,ownsman.
Mr. {. W. Springer. las, August, He
has succeeded by energy AMI per>erver-
arce in %gettin. a neat hall for the purpose
with good seats and blackboards. The
school has steadily increased in ~inicres;
aud popularity since its opening. Tween
ty-four pupils have been enrolled ,hi-
term. The sta lies pursued are the COM
mon ADD higher English branches. A.
All instance of how the school is REGARDED
by our towns people, We learn that Mr..
Samuel CARRIER and Mr. Skerer have each
sent four scholars. Beside, the regular
term during the day, Mr.. Springer has
organized an evening school, which We
advise every young man or woman desir-
log a good practical business education
to attend. II meets Tuesday and Friday
evenings Of each week. The next term
Of the select school opens December Sth
Mr.. Springer desires to express his
thanks 70 those who have materially aid
ed lin in placing the school on such a
permanen, basis as it COW is.
We are not and never have been in
favor of the caucus and convention sys-
tenn Of nominating candidates for office,
but SO long as the Republican party OF
this county see fit to make use Of that
method of placing 10 nomination their
candidates, We propose to stick by them
in other words, We propose 10 supper,
the Republican nominees without regard
to the way they may have been nomina.
ted, and in our opinion nc true Repubii
can, one who has the interest Gfihe party
at heart, can afford to do otherwise.
Every Republican who bolts the straigh,
ticket and supports and independent can.
didate or votes a mixed ticket, virtually
casts a ballot for the disorganization O
the Republican party in the county anc
assist in opening the way for the success,
of any opposing party which may sec fi
to come into the field and make an efor
for the control of the county. Anyon,
can see at a glance the folly Of such
move aud We hope there will be few i
any in this county who will thus cas-
their votes in the interest Of the demo
crat ard greenback parties at the coming
election. Vote the straight ticket.
1t is frequently remarked that mis-
foi tunes never come sincly, and in fac
the sams may be said Of disasters o
every kind. We have doubtless all no
ticed that directly upon the heels of
disastrous railroad accident other acct
dents follow in quick succession, this, i
not invariably the case is as a genera
!. thisg tru". 4 fcw days ago We was start
, led BY the information that an acciden
destructive to human live. had oocurre,
on tie Michigan Central railroad. an,
scarcely had We gained the particulars o
the affair and found out the names of tn
: victims of criminal carelessness. ere "
were again called upon to read the afai

taneous with this, the news was a ishe'
r over the wires that a collision had &C

crippled.
And the 18th Of this month an eI
press train ran into \ freight on tie SuS
q quehanna road in York state, killing th'

Who can account for this sing ular phe

having a similarity, follow each other i
quick succession? Why do misfortune
n never come singly?"
