There are a score of incidents ,

There are a score of incidents of
the campaign that might be instanced
as causes of the Democratic rout. But
they are not essential. The fact that
the people most keenly appreciate is
that the party is beaten. There is no
profit to be derived from the lachry-
NOSE demonstrations over the spilling
of can of the tactical fluid. The true
way is to go to work to repair the
damage done, and by every means en-
deavor to restore the party of the peO-
pie 20 its former ascendency in local.
State and National affairs. The means
to be employed will manifest themselves
in due time. st. Paul Globe.

SARAH DEMPSEY, aged Ill years, probably
the oldest woman in the State of New York,
was recently found dead in bed in her hut on
the Ulster Mountains, near Ellenville. She
had died from starvation and weakness, and
her house was found in a terrible condition.
No food of any kind was in the house. The
appearance of the corpse indicated that the
old lady had, from lack of proper food. become
unable to get out of her bed, and had lain
there until she had died of starvation. Mrs.
Dempsey had lived in this hut, miles from any
habitation, for many years. She had been
solitary in her habits ever since she WIS aban-
doned by young man with whom she clopcd
from school when girl Beside the dc al
womans bed was found piece of paper, on
which was scrawled in pencil:
my God, am dying by inches from hunger
My money will be found -"
And there it ended.

New Jersey raises the best peach
es and the best Democrats in the coun-
try. She took it into her head to break
the column of the Solid North, and
should be honored for it. General Nc
Clellan in his instructions to General
Halleck during the war said 1--WE are
fighting solely for the integrity of the
Union, to uphold the power of our Ma
tional Government, and to restore to
the Nation the blessings of peace and
good order" The full measure of
blessings of peace never can be realized
until geographical party retires. New
Jersey has done her full share to fill up
the measure. Boston Post.

AT Bordell City, twelve miles from
Bradford, Pa, a horrible disaster occurred
on the night Of the 10th, by which eight
| lives were lost. In boarding house were a
number Of hands employed in saw-mill
Four OF them were in bed in the second
story, and a number of others were sitting
around the fire downstairs The Ere getting
low, one of tho men took a dipper full of
kerosene from pail and threw it into the
stove. 1t at once ignited, and the flames
flashed up to the oil in the dipper, causing
the holder to throw it down in proximity to
the pailful of oil, to which it instantly COM
municafed, causing an explosion and enyel-
oping the place in flames. Four of the Inen
were fatally burned and died soon afttr-
ward; a fifth is not likely to recover. HE
building burned to the ground and the re-
mains of the four men sleeping p-stairs
were found in the ruins.
MIR. O'BRIEN and wife, living in the
suburbs of Syracuse, N. ", were on the
night Of the 18th attacked while in
bed by burglar and their skulls crushed
with hammer. Mrs. O'Brien's injuries
were considered mortal; he may recover.
The burglar riAed Mr.. O'Brien's pocket
of his wallet, containing n small srm
OF money. 1t is supposed that Mrs.
O'Brien was awakened by the move
ments OF the robber in the room, and hence
tho murderous onslaught. Fortunately the
murderer and an accomplice were captured
within few hours after the discovery of the
deed, and tho evidence against them was SO
clear that they at once confessed the crime.

thirty per cent. over the preceding year. The
increase in the number of letters and parcels
