To tts Editor of TIE Cambria Freeman;
1t is To be hoped that Cambria VIII F.
never again Toe disgraced by such II
diculous muddle as existed in its Demo
cratic ranks last year-tdaJ the DemOcra-
cy will never again suffer such shameful
defeat of any Of its candidates as over
wheimed its late candidate for Sheriff
. Last years election, II IS TO be hoped, mas
taught the Cambria Democracy lesson
which will serve < good purpose ior the
future. The Democracy OF Cambria,
when united. axe irresistible, but when
distracted and.5ivided. as they were last
fail. the result establishes the fact that a
house divided against itself cannot stand
NzSI sCRATCTING.
From a ts'5Ie giving the amount paid
each physician of this city employed oy
the Board-of Health for vaccination Pur-
poses. it appears that over eleven thouS-
and nersoaS have been Vaccinated during
the year. The Board employs twenty
physicians. all OF whom seem to do some
considerable scratching. One physician
scratched 10 less than sixteen hundred
arms.

themselves in the basin on the Delaware,
and 10. coo in the floating tub on the

AIr. William ~ Welsh, who sliIed two
eggs at Miss Georgia Parker, who was
= warbling on the stage at the Walnut
{ street theatre last week, has made the
h amend honorable by writing Georgia an
apologetic letter containing $500. The
warbling Miss had instituted suit against
7 the egg-shying Welsh, but his combina
i tion of contrition and cash Modified The
o wrathv warbler and she Withdrew Tho

Five hundred dollars for throwing two
. eggs at an actress is az the rate OF three
h thousand dollars per dozen.
IS THE GREAT SHOW.

Governor Uoyt. The exhibition is al
II ! immense and interesting spectacle, aui

,C come to think Of it, it will not pay me t'

.e time merely tell the readers Of the FREE
Ie MAN that there are SereR hundred heat
N of hogs on exhibition.

OF NOT 4 Success.
Gen. II artranft is not at all successft
in organizing an army OF Boys in Blue

HaTtTauft can't obey the order Of tn;
ea political factotum OF the Boys in Blue

IS of that political factotum, Adjutal
# General Drake M'Kay, is therefore not
