From Governor Ga
=. call your attention to the return for
County Commissioner for the town of Hebron
in Oxford county, where Frank Y. Bradley
was the republican candidate and Henry G.
Walker the fusion candidate. Look at the
return and state just what you find apparent
in regard to the name of the fusion candi-
date there, who was Henry G. Walker?
Witness examines return with a micro
scope.
y. Ii has the appearance that the name
was written as ''lIenry c. Walker" and that
the addition of the lower part. converting
the Sc into a &C. was made after the &C.
was made.
Q. Has the &C. been attempted to be
changed, or changed into sc" by adding a
mark?
A. Yes. 1t looks as though there was a
plain &C. first made, and that letter was
changed to &c"
Q. BY the tail being added?
A. Yes, or lower stroke.
"C?"
A. Yes, it is plain to the eye, and especially
40 under the microscope.
Q. Is the Sc evidently of the same hand
writing, the same ink, the same shade of
other letters in that name:
4. 1t looks as though there had been some
scratching about the lower part before the
tail was put upon it. 1t looks as though
there had been little attempt to change; if
Subsequently this case was again brough

changed for SC" 1t was originally Henry
c. Walker in the return. The tabulation
which show you showed that the vote was
tabulated for "Henry G.. Walker" That
proves, does it not, that the change had been
made from &C" to &C" before the Council
tsbpisted it?

ANYBODY would draw.

and quiet as if a general strike we're
not possibility at any moment. In
this locality many of the miners own

the region, as whole, more than
half of the houses are owned by the

some OF them are not only comfort
able homes, but handsome, and show
that when a miner is industrious and
leaves wiskey alone he can live as
well as any one else.
The storekeepsrs here, many of
them having worked in the mines
themselves, stand ready to trust their
mining customers, and sometimes do
1T to their sorrow. On the other hand,
1t is always noticed that when the
miners make a strike for higher
wages and are successful, provisions,
clothing, boots and shoes, hats and
caps, and even rum and whiskey, go
up notch in the scale, and thus the
storekeeDers take their share in the
increased wages. Everything in the
whole region depends upon these
grimy miners, and they are Just ego
tistic enough to feel the dignity of
their position. The soil would laugh
in the face of farmer, and throw
huge stones at the plowman who
would dare to attempt to cultivate
1t; but from underneath this soil
comes this huge mass Of dirty wealth,
which stands in the lead of the in
dustrial interests of the State, and
gives support to SO many thousands
of men, and keeps in existence so
many thriving communities.

1t is hardly exaggeration to say
that the forest fires have laid waste
the best and largest portion of South
ern Jersey. The dispatches give
strange picture of the battles of the
farmers with the flames. The fires
three weeks ago left space over two
hundred square miles bare and
black, and during the last few days
the flames have almost wholly COW
cred the spaces of woodland and
farms of which Acto, Wheatland,
Centreville, Medford and Longacom-
ing are the centres. The sea coast Of
New Jersey has belt about fifteen
miles in breadth, running back from
the shore of scrub oak and pines
growing out of dry white sand,
which is usually covered with a dead
moss which burns like cotton. After
drouth of a few weeks this forest
becomes dry as tinder, and a single
spark is sufficient to set in motion a
frightful conflagrat ion. The inhabi-
tants of "the Pines" are, as rule,
charcoal burners and poor farmers,
who in the best of times, barely earn
subsistence from their little patch
es. These are the people who have
been left homeless by the fires. Near
er the coast are the fishing villages,
and the line of great summer cities,
all piles of lumber, more or less or
namental, and offering food for the
flames. The mere destruction of trees
and crops by fire gives US no idea of
the actual loss. Cranberry bogs to
the value of 100000 are destroyed
the young people throughout the
whole pine region depend upon pick
ing cranberries and huck kleberries for
their summer support, the latter
crop, as it has been estimated, yield
ing employment to over $4,000 wO-
men and children. The fishing viii
lagos and sporting stations along the
coast are almost entirely dependent
on the game in the marshes, which
attracts visitors from the cities in
summer; now the marshes as well as
the woods are blackened waste,
and "dead birds and animals strew
the ground by the thousand" 1t will
require twenty years for the growth
of trees and vegetation, necessarily
slow in that chilled atmosphere, to
repair the damage of the last month.
In Pennsylvania the burning of the
tim ber lands has extended into the
oil regions. We read of 5000 and
q, 900 gallon oil tanks in flames yet
it is doubtful whether these enor-
nous losses will produce more indi-
vidual suffering than the burning of
the poor cabins and patches OF the
Jersey crab ber and charcoal burner.

GENERAL STATEMENT.
After the utterance of the words of our
last lesson, on the Wednesday afternoon be-
fore the Passover, Jesus and his disciples re-
tired to Bethany, perhaps to the friendly
home of Martha and Mary. The next day
was spent in quiet seclusion with most of the
apostles, of whom some we've employed in
preparation for the Passover-supper, (Luke
Y. 7-l2.) while Judas was maturing his
scheme of treason. At evening the company
once more crossed the ridge of Mount Olivet,
and, passing within the opened gates of the
city, went to the house where the Passover
meal awaited them. The solemn scenes OF
the Last Supper then took place, with the
warning of the betrayal, the enthusiastic
promise of Peter, and the abrupt departure
of the tFaitors At the Close of fle n e0l, tlae
saviour laid aside bis outer robe, and gave
a touching lesson in humility by washing the
feet of the eleven disciples. Then he spoke
the series of farewell utterances recorded in
John IA, l5 and IL, and offered the intercessory
prayer of John II. We can hear the closing
psalm borne on the midnight air thro' the
silent city. We trace their footsteps across
the Tyropeon bridge, and through the ten-
pie precincts, down into the valley of Jehos-
aphat. Just beyond the dark waters of Ke-
dron they enter the shadows of an olive gar
den, where the saviour bids the most of the
company pause and watch, while with the
chosen three he enters the dark recess for
prayer. A horror an agony, comes upon
him. All the promonitions of the near future,
all the consciousness of his physical and
spiritual suflerings conjon with the temp
tings of Satan, and the mystery of human
guilt, 10 oppress his human nature. Thrice
he prays, and thrice returns, only to find his
followers asleep. At the moment when vic
tory comes to his soul, he hears the tread of
the traitor and his band. Hastily he awak-
ems the sleeping apostles, that they may meet
the danger which by watching they might
have escaped. The betrayer kiss presses his
cheek, and with a few words of gentle re-
buke he submits to his foes, and is led cap
tive to the high priests house.

SELECT
SCHOOL

THE undersigned, having returned to
il their old home at Anderson G. H.,
8. c., propose to open private School for
the Education of Girls. As our house con-
tains eleven rooms we can appropriate two
very suitable apartments to the present use
and purposes Of the School, and accommo-
date also few boarders. Having, each OF
US, some experience in teaching our several
departments, we are not without good hope
of being able to give satisfaction, especially
when the matter and method Of educating
the pupil is iott entirely to our judgment.
The first Session will begin at 8 o'clock
q. m. on MONDAY, the 5th day of JAM
UARY, 1880, and continue twenty weeks.
Tuition for the Session, in Literary De-
partment, $40 to $50, varying between these
extremes, according to the studies pursued.
instrumental and Vocal Music, each $40.
Use of instrumel So. Board, excluding
washing and lights, $40 q month, payable
monthly in advance. Scholars will be re.
ceived at any time during the Session, and
charged ratably from the day of entering to
the close of Session. No deduction for lost
time, except in case Of protracted, serious
illness. The tuition fees must be paid one
half at the time the pupil begins, and the
other half at the expiration OF the first ten
weeks after beginning.
Should assistant teachers become neces-
sary, the most competent will be promptly
engaged. The thorough training of those
committed to our care is our earnest pur-
pose. LEWIS NJ. AVER,

From our own experience for the last six

A full and efficient corps of Teachers will
