Cart. G. +. TAYLOR, a leading merch-
ant of Braxton county, made US
friendly call yesterday. He says BUSH
ness has much improved in that section
of the country, mainly, however, from
local causes. The past winter was an
unusually good one for getting out tim
her and lumber, and very large guam
tity Of it is being put into the market
this spring. OF course this circulates
large amount OF money among the peo-
pie OF Braxton.
The Braxtonians are looking forward
with a great deal of interest to the com
pletion OF the railroad which Is now
being constructed from Charleston up
the Elk. Capt. TAYLOR informs us that
400 men are now at work on the first
forty miles of the road, and that as soon
as that is completed alike number will be
placed on the next forty miles, which
will bring the road to Braxton Z. ii.
Then branch will be pushed rapidly to
completion on over to Weston, to there
connect with the road 10 Clarksburg.
This will put that naturally wealthy SEE
ton of country in direct communica-
ton with the markets OF the world, and
will be the means of developing one Of
the most important portions OF our
young State.

The Ohio Coalition.

tits understood that an agreement has
been reached between the Democratic
party of Ohio and the Sn-callcd National
party Oi the same state To hold their re-
Spectiye State conventions at the same
place and on the same day-COiumbus 10
be the place and some day in June to he
the date. This is the first step toward
a coalition between the Ohio Democrats
and the Ohio Nationals, who acted as
separate organizations in the election Of
1873. Such an alliance can be made
without any compromise Ot principle on
either side, the Democrats of the state
being rs fully dipped in initiation
herrsieS as the GrecnbaCk party pnre
and simple. Relying on the statistics ol
the last election the promoters of this
perfectly natural combination expect II
To be irresistible in the canvass Of the
present wear. In 1873 the Republicans
carried the State by mcagre plurality
of about three thousand i'm a total vote
OF nearly six hundred thouSand-that is
10 say, tine Republican plurality over
the Democrats proper was only about
One-half of one per cent. of the average
vote of the State But although the
Republicans had small plurality there
was a heavy majority against them, a
the following figures will show:

united on the same ticket, the prOhibi-
ton vote remaining the same, the figures
would have stood:
United Greeuhack vote .................... ,9 ~
Republican Ii.lA
Greeuback plurality ................... S1,l7S
II is obvious that il the republicans
should be no stronger in Ohio this year
than they were last, and if the demo-
Gratis and nationals should poll a. many
votes for the same ticket a. they did last
year for separate tickets, the coalition
would carry the State by "A handsome
majority. Ii is 10y this kind of figuring
on the election returns OF last October
that the two CoaleSCing greenback par
ties have persuaded themselves 10 be-
licve that they will Ice on the sure road
10 victory II they can agree upon the
same ticket.
We suppose there will be no difficulty
i'm etfeCting the combination, but
whether the Sanguine expectations will
be realized is more than doubtful But
postponing this point for a moment We
may direct attention IL the inspiring
motive and ultimate aim of the coalition
10 is a movement in futheranCe of Sena-
tor Humans aspiration for the PreSi-
dency. Ii Is conceded by everybody
that unless Ohio il carried by the Demo
cratic party in 1872 Mr. Thurman has no
possible chance for the Democratic nOmi-
nation in 1880. The politics of that
State are So uncertain that II the
two great parties were pitted against
each other, with separate Gpenback
party in the field. the Republicans
would easily carry the State. The bril-
liant SUCCESS of Secretary Sherman's
financial measures, Mr.. sherman him
self and the Pu'sidcnt under whom he
has acted being both citizens of Ohio,
will greatly strengthen the Republican
party in the approaching contest. The
Democrats of the State have apparently
no chance at all, unless they are rein
forced by the Nationals. Mr.. Thurman
is too wary 10 be himself the coalition
candidate for Governor. He doubtless
thinks himself fortunate in having a
jealous supporter OF his Presidential
claims who meets situation which re-
quireS a gubernatorial candidate who
is Democrat by party utilization,
and vet holds such extreme views
OF financial questions as make him &C
ceptable TO the nationals. II the Octo-
Der election is carried by the coalition
its success will be cried up as great
democratic victory and rs proof that
the State can be as easily carried for
Thurman in 1850 as for Ewing in 1879.

The Old Mans Fight.

Just as John Hutsoff,an old man who
for many years has lived alone near
Coleville, Bradford county, was going to
bed last Sunday night, he was visited by
two strange men, who asked for a drink
of water. The old man turned to cross
the room, and hardly had he done SO,
when he was felled to the ground by
powerful blow on the head. The rob-
bers then bound and gagged him, and
began their search for some money
which the old man was believed to have
stored away somewhere in the house.
Hutsoff, after hard though silent
struggle, managed to free his hands, and
when the two men went into an adjoin-
ing room in search of the treasure, he
hastily united his feet, removed the gag
from his mouth, and went out into the
yard to get his ak. Returning to the
house, he was seen blythe robbers, who
Immediately rushed for him in the hope
of disarming him, but the ak was terri
bly, sharp and Hutsof was an old wood
chopper. Three fingers were cut off of
one hand that was raised against him,
and the other burglar did not give up
until he had received two gaping
wounds. Both robbers fled. The next
day the one whose fingers had been left
at Hutsoff's house called on physician
in Bradford to have his wound dressed
He told plausible story how it had
been received, and the doctor suspected
nothing until later in the day, when the
attempted robbery was reported and one
of the burglars was identified by his
missing fingers.

ed taking the boy to some distant
section and compelling him to beg for

frightened and bewildered, and he spent
the night in a corn-fleld. In the morn
ing he made inquiries of passers-by,

reached his home in an exhausted con-
dltion. His father was in this city this
morning, and offered liberal reward
for the arrest of the tramps. The police

The Raisin Industry

A California letter says: There is no
country in the world where better grapes
can be grown for making raisins as well
as for wine purposes. For long time
the former industry Jagged, but of late
years it has taken wonderful start and
grape growers are now reaping the ad-
vantage of patience and perseverance.
They have also learned how to cure
them. About 10000 boxes of raisins
were cured last year, but this industry
is sure to increase from year to year
until California will supply the trade of
the United States. Grape cuttings have
been introduced from Spain, France and
all other wine-growing countries, and it
is settled fact that both our wines and
raisins are fast becoming favorites in the
Eastern markets.

ment prevails and the authorities will

A Sad Push.

ALLENTOWN, Pa, July 21.-Last Fri
day little girl, aged 6 years, named
Pauline Newmiller, living with her par
ents in this city, was the victim of an
accident which resulted in her death
last night. 1t appears that on that day
she was playing on the front pavement
with neighbours girl of about her age,
and, while engaged in their childish
pastimes, the Newmiller girl was push
ed by her companion with such violence
as to throw her on the pavement, her
head striking on the back with suffi-
cient severity to cause concussion of the
brain. The services of a physician
were called, but, in spite of good medi-
cal treatment, the little girl fingered in
an unconscious state until last night,
when death resulted. An investigation
by the Coroner is probable. The fun
eral will take place on Thursday after
noon.

An Unfortunate Man.

Reese Ottenkirk, farmer living near
Honeybrook, in Chester county, says,
that he is being followed by an unknown
enemy, who seems determined to ruin
him. In March of last year his large
new barn was burned to the ground by
an incendiary. A few days ago he re-
ceived an anonymous letter saying that
his cattle would soon be seized with a
mysterious and fatal disease. About a
week after four cows died of poison that
had been put in their feed. Next he
received letter saying that his barn
would be burned to the ground again.
Then the farmer appealed to the Chester
police.
