An exchange says: !" The Democrats are
taking great deal of satisfaction from the
fact the Republicans are not betting upon
Garfield. The Republican party never was
gamblers and sporting mems party. We
do not see any signs of decadence In the
fact that it has not become so now."
David Snyder, a youth aged IL years, was

his right hand was caught by the cylinder

old boy named Samuel Benner, We're killed
in Spruce Creek tunnel last Sunday, but
at what hour AMI by what train is not GER
tainly known. The bodies all lay between
the two tracks that run through the tunnel.

An exchange says: As many as fifty gun
ners go out together to hunt squirrels in
Blair county. The sport is systematic, the
hunters moving in ring and driving the
game before them. Another exchange re-
marks that that will do to tell the marines,
but that the old soldiers will want to know
how it is that the squirrels do not pop into
holes before they are hudGled together.
Who knowsl
They held an election in Georgia last
week for Governor. There was TO Repub-
lican ticket. Two Democrats ran for Gov
ernor of the State, and the one who is
named Colquilt was elected. Republicans
have no standing down there. and yet the
DcuoSfdSg vi INC Noiah INV 'hS iihPu-
dence to talk of sectionalism. They drive
and crush out all opposition, and then point
to the people whom they drive out and
shout sectionalism.
On Tuesday week George Botteiger and
his hired man, John Mckinney, of Monroe
township, went out to hew log for
porch " sleeper" They fell to work earn
estly with their axes. By misdirected
stroke at cutting out a chip McGinney's
ak glanced upward from the log and the
blunt end of the AK struck Botteiger's head
or neck back of the right ear, producing
death almost instantly. Botteiger breathed
twice only after he fell TO the ground. He
leaves a wife to mourn his sad death. A
jury acquitted Mckinney of all blame.
Somebody over in Greenville, N. j.,
got a new hired girl the other day. She was
from the country, and green was no name
and Greenville no place for her. When
about to go to clean up the sleeping rooms,
she asked her mistress what she should do
with the night clothes, and was told to hang
them up. Seeing nothing in the room Tor
that purpose, and remembering that there
was something in the hall with hooks on it,
she took the articles down and hung them
upon the hat-rtck. The lady of the house
didn't happen TO go into the front passage
at all that morning, and was slightly startled
when some lady callers told her in the after
noon that the hat-rack was so uniquely
adorned"
Congressman Blackburn, tDemocrat,)
surnamed the Wiper, made manly tribute
to Garfield in a recent speech at Upper San
dusky, Ohio Il don't mean to speak un-
kindly of General Garfield; l don't mean
to speak in disparagement of that gentle
man; know him well. For six years past
have served upon the floor Of the same
house of Congress with him. We are mem
bers of the same committee. Cur relations
are close and pleasant and friendly. l be-
lieve-and say it here as / say it every
where-I believe that he has no superior in
point of intellect, culture or power within
the limits of his party. believe he has as
broad brain, and an intellect as big as any
man you can find within the limits of that
party whose candidate he is Now let
some booming change idiot chalk a 329 over
that and see if it will obscure it,"
