LANCASTER lNTE1IEN(ER SATURDAY JANUARY 1880

Herald correspondent thinks that Blaine
has given up all idea of forcible resistance
in view of the firm attitude of the gov
ernor, and in an interview Councillor
Fogg expressed the opinion that
whilst the Boutelle buster, the Ham
lin and Frye speeches, the incen-
diary utterances of the clergymen, and
especially this Squirting episode, were
intended to overawe the authorities,
Mr.. Blaine doesn't mean to fight. He
men of mettle on their side, and knows
that the $96, 900 of state bonds that he
owns would depreciate so per cent. in the
event of a revolution, which would surely
occur if the Republicans attempted to
seize the state government. As to the
senator's ability to buy up men enough
to deprive the House of quorum, Mr..
FOgg doubts it, and the next move by
Blaine is expected to be an attempt by his
party to stave off the election of state Off
GERS, if possible, until the contested cleo
tion cases have been decided, thus pos
sibly gaining the Legislature and COVER
nor, and preventing the needed investiga-
tion of the fraud and corruption which
characterized last September's election.
Mr.. Fogg says this is the first year for
some time that a strictly honest count has
been made. Gov. Dinglcy in former
years signed certificates in blank, and SO
did Gov. Connor. The councillor has the
proof of this in his possession in the
shape of blank certificates bearing Con-
nor's name, but never filled out. The
anxiety of the Republicans to see the re-
turns, even before they were received,
show, that they knew how defective they
| were.

THE Boston Herald has a graphic sketch
of the unusual situation in Augusta, with
the state house vigilantly guarded by an
armed force, and shows that these precau-
tions on the part of the state authorities
have not been unnecessary. 1t publishes a
somewhat startling story of the visit to
Names capital of Gen. Andrew Squirting
now United States official prominent in
the war of the Rebellion, whose arrival
was sought to be kept secret, and who
during his stay in Augusta has kept him.

,Ridgway Borough.

After many years; after much striv-
ing for simple right lis citizens to
have our beautiful village incoipor-
ated and made Borough under the
act of Assembly made and provided,
the end has at last Been reached.
The Grand Jury OH "Wednesday morn
ing of this Week recommended the
petition of the citizens of Ridgway for
n borough. This recommendation
will lay over until the November term
under a rule of the court, at which
time, unless objections of grave I'M
portance be made against the recon-
mendation it will then be made aBsol-
ute. AS nc remonstrance was presented
TO the court, and as the people generally
who refused to sign the petition, also ex-
pressed themselves as unwilling to
sign remohstrance,i 1T is reasonable TO
suppose that at the proper time Ridg-
way will be made a regular, true
borough. Then at the spring election
the necessary borough officers will be
elected, and tile borough machinery
put in motion. faidgway Borough

A snreI and the Resnlt Of m.

Coal Hollw near the Dhgus Mines
tunnel, FoHtownship, was the scene of
an unpleasant occurrence at about
IL O'Clock IN Saturday evening last.
Through TIN scrape John Woods alias
JShn Kilmchael, Handed in the
.Ritgway jai enriy Sunday morning,
under tie esort of Constable Hyatt.
The facts id the case warrant us in
saying that roressSr less Whiskey had
been imbibed, which fact, of course, is
not i'm extenuation of the crime COM
mitted. John, IL seems, kept slianty
by himself and worked in the mines.
Mrs. Hill lived With her daughter and
son-in-law in another shanty not far
removed from the one occupied by the
bachelor-like Jbhn. This pair went
together hand ii hand, as it were, to
the village Of .Centreville between the
hours of and O'Clock on the evening
in question. They INDUCED in several
glasses of beer together, and returning
carried each a'quantity of whiskey
with them. Mrs. Hill carried pint
of whiskeyi to her own house as a
present to her son-in-law. She then
came back to finish her visit With her
lovey John. Here we should put in a
row of stars. Later in the evening
the daughter of Mrs. Hill CAME to the
shanty of John making diligent in
quiry after her mother, but John
answered not word being dead
drunk. Mrs. Hill was found under
Johns bed with her left ear partly
gone. johns mouth was all bloody.
He does not iecollect having a fuss
with the womdn but then his mouth
was all bloody and her ear was gone.
The rest of this will come ont 'at The
November term of court. These facts
are as we learli them from John him.
SELF We villa also add that the report
that the woman is dead is without
foundation, as she was well and hearty
no later than last evening, with the
exception of that left ear, which you
will perceive is no longer left.

"Truth is D greater stranger than
felton," it is said by all able historian,
and an incident savOring of the TO
mantle has transpired recently to
prove the correctness of the assertion.
Two persons met on. our streets, who,
in early life had been betrothed lovers.
Cruel fate had ssparated them, and
after n number of years relented, and
now they are shortly to be united in
the bonds of matrimohy. Both Had
married in the meantime, and are
b5th again free to take up the old
friendship. May long life and happi-
hess attend them.
on Sabbath morning, Dan, 4 little
son of w. G. Smith, met with pain
full accident. Mr. Smith had just got
a new cow. He and the boys were
looking at her. Dan. wanted to make
friends with her, and got very close to
her head She struck him with her
horn, catching the point of the horn
in the elbow joint of his right arm,
dislocating it, and fracturing the
small bone in the forearm. Drs.
Matson were called in at once, and re-
duced tile fracture. Though the injury
is quite painful it IS hoped the limb
will Sustain no permanent injury.
Boys, donr get too close to the cows
horns.

A Dangerous SPOT.

In June last, post on the farm of
l.. ID. Weld in Beccaria township,
was struck by lightning and badly
splintered, and the rails resting upon
it was mashed to pieces. The fence
was repaired, but scarcely had this
been done until, during the month of
July, the same post was again struck
and both it and the rails shivered to
atoms. Again the fence was repaired
by the planting of new post and
again during the month of August
the lightning struck and completely
demolished the new G}6st and fence
adjacent thereto. At last accounts
the fence was again in perfect con-
dition, but there is no likelihood OF
anybody sitting on that post to watch
the progress of a thunder storm. The
lightning is probably attracted by the
out cropping of some mineral sub
stance.-Clearfield Journal.
The more they try to explain it
the more clearly do they establish
that frauds were committed i'm the
census returns Of South Carolina. A
leading paper of the state purports to
give absolutely correct figures of its
census, showing the population to bt
996.S24, The returns indicate heavy
increases i'm every county rs compared
with the returns of 1870, and they will
give South Carolina six members o
congress under the supposed popula
ton of the United States at 49, 9,100,00(
the total number of the members o
! the house of representatives 800, anC
the Representation 3,bt5, and ther,
will remain surplus of 14,S24 per
so'at. These figures indicate an in
crease in population during the pas
decade of POI POI, or Al A per centunl
This is certainly Beyond all reason
and if the official figures should prov
to be identical, it will go far to satisf.
all fair minded persons that gros
frauds have been committed by tn
enumerators, frauds that call for a re
count.
