The Importance Of this Election.

Judge Agnew addressed the Repub-
licans of Pittsburgh on Tuesday even
ing week. In his note accepting the
invitation to speak, he says.
"For over thirty years (twenty-sev-
en- on the bench) / have not set foot
on a political platform, and while on
the bench scrupulously avoided all
partisan demonstrations. My habits
are now 80 fixed that know it would
be difficult task to speak in public,
yet am so impressed with the impor-
tance of this election, on which hang
the results of a successful war, of re-
union and National prosperity, that |
feel that no one in whose bosom burns
a spark Of patriotism would refuse to
perform his share Of duty. My habits
of thought and expression disable me
from an ordinary political barangue,
and you must, therefore, accept Of
something different"
And those who heard Judge Agnew
got something dilferent"-different
from the "glittering generalities" and
low falsifications which were dished up
in this place last Tbursday.-Pats.

approve or encourage payment of such
debt, pension or reward" But "rebel
claims are neither a debt, pension
nor reward lor waging war upon the
existence of the Government. They
are demands growing out of the de-
struction of property, mostly of non
combatants during the prosecution OF
the war. If the law requiring proof OF
loyalty in the claimant were repealed,
these claims would and could be paid,
because they could be proved to be
lust demands against the Government !;
and if the Government were in Demo
cratic hands some of the evidence from
the rebel records which now prevents
certain claimants from getting their
hands into the Treasury might not be
forthcoming when needed. They are.
moreover, certain large claims, like the
refund of the cotton tax, Of the tobacco
tax, and who knows but Of the whisky
tax. which General Hancock's letter
does not touch at all
Besides, General Hancock does not
saw that he would reto any such bill if
passed. He says only, that he would
not approve" it. He might not ap-
prove it and yet it might become a
law from not being vetoed. But the
great point in this matter is, can a
President rise higher than his party !!
We all knCy the behests of the party.
If General Hancock is elected by the
solid vote of the South, can he refuse
to accede to their demands Should he
be elected and do so there would un-
doubtsdly soon be rupture between
him and his party. We will be spared
however, of any fear or trouble on this
question, or any other question grow.

then living in Adams township, sold
beef in Allegheny at ninety cents per

Others had to bring home their beef
because they could not get penny a

during those times the lowest that he

expected that the South would give
protection to the labor of the North
when free trade suited them Z"
The speaker then took up the topics
of protection to American industry,
the currency and the banking system,
and showed in each of them the effects
of Republican rule. He then discussed
the merits of the candidates, closing
with a fervant appeal to young men
and old to follow the standard bearer OF
the Republican party"

telegraph Blunders.

A gentleman who had gone to the
country to find 3 summer location for
his family telegraphed to his wife,
"Home tonight" The wires render
ed this into "Come tonight" and so
the wife posted into the country at
once, while the husband was making
his way in contrary direction.
Not long since message came to
the principal of business house in
this city from bis travelling agent who
had reached Philadelphia, "Am at
Continental Hotel. Send some hash
by mail" The agent did not intend
to reflect on the food at the hotel, but
wanted "cash" sent by mail.
An affectionate uncle was informed
by telegraph: MARY is to be buried
on Wednesday. Come sure" Mary,
who lived in Chicago, was his favorite
niece, and, as he had not heard of her
illness, the sad-intelligence gave him u
severe shock. He dressed himself in
deep mourning, and made hurried
journey to the West to find a jovial
party assembled at Mary's wedding.
The wire had arranged for her to be
"buried" instead OF married"
Probably the worst blunder ever
made was one that occurred in the case
of St. Louis merchant. who, while in
New York, received telegram inform,
ing him that his wife was i'll. lie sent
a message to his family DOCTOR asking
the nature Of the sickness and If there
was any danger, and received prompt
ly the answer: mo danger. Your
wife has had child If we can keep
her from having another tonight she
will do we'll" The mystifcation Of
the agitated husband was not removed
until second inquiry revealed the fact
that his indisposed lady had had a
"chill. ."-The Hour.

A ROYAL FISITOR

Nothing could better illustrate the
lar-reaching influence OF modern civil.
ization than the announcement that
the King Of siam is about 10 make a
tour of the Western World with the
view of introducing English and
American customs into his domain.
Until within comparatively few
years, Siam was an unexplored ooun.
try TO Europeans and Americans.
Bankok, the chiei city, was well known
TO the commercial world as an impor-
tant centre of trade many years ago
but very little communication was had
with the natives of the interior. Mis-,
sionaries visited Siam as early as 1923,
but until quite recently, they did not
make much progress. Within the
past thirty years, however, there has
been marked change in the attitude
OF the Siamese Government toward
the barbarian" world, The father OF
the present King was an able and
liberal monarch, and very tolerant of
Europeans. The education of his son

A FEW la W POINTS FOR THE
PEOPLE.

A parole gift Of personal property
must be accompanied by possession.
The attempt to commit felony or
misdemeanor, is an indictable offense
1t is larceny to appropriate goods
mlslaid or left by mistake.
A verbal release of debt, not found.
ed on valuable consideration, will not
bar an action.
Guardians, il practicable, must lend
out money of their wards, on good Sc.
curity and must collect the interest
annually.
Any one who takes possession of q
minors estate without authority Of
law may bo liable as a guardian.
The voluntary concurrence of com.
petent minds is required to make o
valid contract, If deception be prac.
ticed, by either of the parties, in o
matter, or either be so intoxicated as
to be unable to comprehend the ma.
ture and effect of the transaction, this
invalidates the contract
The father is the natural guardian
and custodian Of his children, but, in
the case OF separation, their custody
may be given to the mother, If the
father is, from any cause, unfit for
their control, or unable TO support
them.
An action for the recovery Of spe-
cific property can bo brought without
giving the bond specified in the code,
when tho simple question of title is
tried, and the possession of the prop.
erty lett undisturbed.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse Of
crime But ignorance OF facts may
render a civil contract voidable.
There is no warranty to title in an
administrators sale, but personal
representative Is bound to make to
the purchaser valid conveyance Of
such title as his decodept had He is
liable personally, for oil damages aris-
ing from his failure TO follow the law.
II is u violation Of the law for the
occopiers OF lands under o common
fence, TO turn their stock within the
general enclosure, during the crop
ping season. The party so offending
commits an indictable offense, and is
civilly liable for all damages that on
sue.
If any administrator or executor
gives n note, or makes any other con-
tract in his representative capacity,
which the law does not authorize, no
fails to bind the estate, but Is indivld.
ually liable upon the same.
The law presumes that every per-
son intends TO do what he does.
Drunkenness is no excuse for crime,
A person may have his domicil in
one county or State, and citizenship in
another Citizenship is not lost or
changed by residence abroad, 80 long
as "the intention TO return exists.
An unwritten will of personal prop
erty is valid when the property does
not exceed $500. and the bequest is
made during the last sickness Of the
deceased.
The MORTGAGE and not the mort
gagor, must pay the fees for recording
the mortgage. - Beaver Star

TWO NoTEL WEDDINGS.

] Regard for position and Tor the
state of the family bank account has
generally as much to do with matri
monial alliances nowadays as the i'm.
pulses Of the heart, and young people
are much less prone TO rush off ia
Gretna Green in these times, than
they were when our grandparents
were young and romantic. II is
therefore, rather surprising to learn
that the matter-oi.iaet spirit of the
nineteenth century has been ruthlessly
violated by two foreign Princosses-
The Princess FIederika of Hanover,
the cable informs us, has just married
her fathers secretary, and the King
Of Wurlemburg has actually consented
to the betrothal of tho Princess Pau
line to young physician of Breslau.
1t has long been the fashion for the
male members of European dynasties
TO fall in love with beautiful sirens
much below them in rank, and any
number of morganatic marriages have
been contracted from time to time by
hopeful scions OF royalty, But that
young ladies of the blood should be
permitted to "marry beneath them,
is an uuheard-of thing. Romantic at
tachments for handsome interiors,
however, have not been uncommon.
The love affair OF the Princess Ame-
liza, sister of Frederick the Great, with
the dashing Baron Trenck, is one of
the most noteworthy incidents of this
kind; but its significance is somewhat
impaired by the fact that Trenck, who
is the sole authority for the story, was
a notorious liar and an unprincipled
scamp, although courageous and
very handsome man. These tender
instances, moreover, have been nipped
in the bud by parental authority. The
marriage of the Princess Louise OF
England with the Marquis of Lorne is
not parallel case to that OF the Ger
man Prineesses, for in point of blood
and ancient position, the Macallum
More is fully equal to the Stuarts or
the Guelphs. The marriage of the
Princess Frederika with her fathers
clerk, and the betrothal Of the Prin-
cess Pauline TO physician, are alto
gether different and we are not sur
prised to learn that the Prince and
Princess of Wales refused to at
tend the fair Frederika's wedding, and
that there has been considerable iric-
tion in the highest circles" in conse-
quence. Nothing, however could bet.
ter illustrate the progress Of demo-
cratic ideas. Formerly these incau-
tious maidens would have been shut
up in some luxurious jail, and treated
to spare diet until prepared to listen
to reason, and the objects OF their love
would probably have been immured
for life, or sent away on some "diplo.
matte mission" Nowadays, however,
their parents are forced TO yield, and
to make the best of a very disagreea-
bic matter. Probably they sigh for
the good old times when it was posi-
bic to keep such affairs from the vul-
gar world, and to settle them quietly
and effectually. The romantic Prin.
cesses, however are doubtless ardent
Democrats, and if they find the at
mospherc OF the Old World unpleasant,

Judge Hall, of Bedford county, has
recently rendered a decision that quail
fled electors residing outside the limits
Of a school district, and attached to
the district for school purposes, have a
right to vote for school officers in said
district, and are likewise eligible to the
Office of School Director in the dis
trct TO which they are attached for
school purposes. The decision, in our
opinion, is lacking, and not in harmo-
ny with the intent OF the law, and the
question being an important one, ap.
plying to thousands Of cases in the
Commonwealth, We would like to see
this decision either sustained or re.
voked
