No Asiatic Cholera at Erie.

Washington, Aug. 2l,-Thc national
board of health received dispatch
this evening from Erie, Pa, which
eflcctually eXplodes the Asiatic chol.
era sensation. The dispatch comes
from the health officer, who says
that the story was started through the
occurrence of two cases of cholera
morbus, the only ones that have been
reported. lie further says that he is
familiar with Asiatic cholera from
years of Observance of it at Vienna,
Austria, and the cases at Eric bear not
the slightest resemblance to it, and
the story to the effect that the latter
disease had appeared is entirely sensn
tiOnal and malicious.

A Philadelphia CORES spondcnt of
the New York ,St,n writes to that
paper as follows: "rhe Dcmoc-
racy Of Pennsylvania was never better
satisfied with its official leaders than
it is this day. Dill, Chairman of the
State Committee, Hopkins IN charge
in Allegheny, and Cassidy in Phila-
delphia, belong to no boss or action,
and are making a most intelligent and
| strenuous battle for the success Of the
party as whole. They all vigorously
urged the Harrisburg compromise,
/ which enabled Us 70 present united
front in this campaign; and the wri-
/ tCT hereof is able TO say Cr his knowl-
edge that for that days invaluable
work we are more indebted to Lewis
d. Cassidy than any other man.

nuIlify if we cannot prevent the

the electoral vote of Alabama, We
can give the electoral vote Of Connect
cut to Garfield. We can give him
that OF Now Jersey and New York. If
! the free, honest voters of the North
| take the sense Of the situation there
! is no doubt that every Northern state
will repudiate this attempt to capture
;he Government by plain fraud,
Granting that Hancock is an honor
able gentleman, Hancock drops out OF
sight in this contest. The fate of the
Republic itself Is involved in resisting
the spread and consmnnation cf TIE
Alabama method
"A Charleston correspondent Of the
! New York Times telcgraphs as follows
to that paper: 1.-THE announcement
that the so-called General II. G.
Worthington, who falsely claims to be
Il Southern Republican, had avowed
his intention to support Hancock, has
afforded South Carolina Republicans
much amusement ut the expense OF
the Bourbon clement, which seems
utterly disgusted with this new addi-
ton to the motley forces Of the North
ern Democracy. This beats all /

known capitalist among group OF
Broad-street brokers and politicians
to-day. Il suppose Frank Moses will
be the next convert. What the ID
are we coming to, gentlemen? When
such cattle come into our party it is
time for lis to get out Several othe!
gentlemen gave vent to their feelings
of disgust, and one fearlessly asserted
that if he lived in the North his self
respect would not allow him to be q
Democrat. Harry G. Worthington
was, as the Democratic journals trium-
phantly assert, Collector of the Port
of Charleston-to the infinite regret
of his bondsmen, who were recently
brought before the United States
Court to satisfy the Governments
claims against the eX-Collector. He
came to South Carolina in 1872, and
according to the reports of Senator
Cochran's Investigating Committee
bore a prominent part in nearly all
the rascally transactions committed
| during the Moses administration. ~

MARROW ESCAPE. - Last Friday
morning a little daughter of Mr..
John Baker and her mother made a
narrow escape from fearful death.
The little girl went into the Jones
mill, in Clarion county, about two
miles from Corsica, and going too
close to II revolving shaft, her clothing
became involved and was wound up,
carrying her around with the shaft.
While in this position her mother
came in and tried to release her from
her peril0us position, when her
clothing caught and she was drawn
up and carried around with great
velocity. The jar in the running of
the machinery attracted the attention
of the miller, and on investigating the
cause he found the mother and child
as described and at once stopped the
machinery and released them. He
found the mother injured but slightly,
but the little girl had one of her limbs
broken and her head considerably
bruised by coming in contact with II
hopper while revolving on shaft.
Proper surgical assistance was sum-
moned, and it is believed that both
will recover.-Brookville RepuGE-

canIiaig'i in that ancient Republican

equally aggressive proceedings by the
Republicans. 1t is predicted that
Vermont will give $4,000 majority for

and about the sanc for Garfield in
November.

Getting the Wrong Flag.
Lebanon Courier.

The Reading Democrats sent to a
large flag manufacturing establishment
in New York and bought a very hand
some flag, which they flung to the
breeze" with considerable eclat, but
after it had been up for a few days it
was discovered that it was not the
National flag, but that it bore only
seven stars, representing the seven
States that rebelled against the Union.
1t may be imagined that there was
chagrn about the time this discovery
was made. The explanation Of the
annoying mistake is that the flag was
one manufactured for the Democrats
in some Southern State, and through
carelcssness was sent to the Demo
Gratis in old Berks, who would will
inly join their Southern brethern,
sympathizing with the great struggle
that was made to Yindicate their
principles of state sovereignty by sec
ceasion, but they do not care, just now
to have that sympathy so conspicuous.
