EDITOR HERALD: The correspon-
dent under the above %euphonious mon
deplume" is rather late in the season
making his appearance; ALEC a little
premature in some of his announce.
ments of news. The school at George
town Academy closes May 18th. The
exercises, l understand, will consist
chiefly of class exercises.
II "Ground Hog" could have heard
the comments of some of our young
men on his article, he would certainly
have "gone in his hole" again, and
have remained there, Lolens volens.
The truth Of the business is, ourmodest
young men are becoming more con-
spicuous through the papers than they
ike. They are OF the opinion that if a
panther and a bear take "a hug" the
newspaper nan need not say anything
about it. o., ii they do a little counting
on the sly, there is 40 need of a CORES
pondent cutting a great flourish over
it. The young men are of the opinion
that the community is a little too much
inclined to gossip. If Il young mar
goes a Fishing or q Hunting and
stays day or two, the town has to dis
cuss the matter for a week, and gener-
ally come to the conclusion that he is
too young to be doing so. Or, if a Ger
tain young man sports an ~infantile
mustache, they are ready to exclain,
80 come now, that looks too Downie."
Or ifanother certain young man attends
a neighboring Sunday School, they are
ready to say, che looks wonderous
wise, if he isn't a Solomon" Now all
this has to be stopped, or else the young
men will read you a chapter on the old
man. So take warning "Ground Hog
and others. Wheat rusting some, but
farmers are hopeful. Your friends are
glad to know Of your appointment to

The Oldest Yet.

THERE is a negro living Henry county,
Ca, who is probably one hundred and
twenty-seven years old. The Henry
County Weekly has seen a bill Of sale
of the old mar of ancient date, which
proves his age to be at least as great as
stated. DR.. Peck, who lives near the
old man, has seen the bill of sale, also
traced the other facts of his history. He
is a native African, and though totally
blind, exhibits much mental and phis-
ical energy, being still able to make as
good a bark collar as ever a mule look
ed through. His name is Jim Ingra-
ham.

A WEAK CANDIDATE.
from the philadelubis Times.

From the Philadelphia Times
l share the general conviction of most
of the delegates who made the NOM
ination of Garfield, that he is not likely
to prove a strong candidate. He has
been a gallant soldier. He has filled
a high measure OF civil trust. He has
risen to the leadership of the house.
He is able in disputaLion and is Justly
esteemed as patriotic; but lew would
single him out as q great administrator.
and he follows too closely in the foot
steps of Hayes to awaken either popular
enthusiasm or command intelligent
trust. He would not be the type Of
executive that the humilitating expert.
ence of the last nearly four years has
impre ssed upon the positive republican
leaders as an imperative necessity. 1t
was the pitiable weakness of Hayes that
made it possible to anchor over three
hundred votes in the convention in favor
of Grant. with all the blemishes OF his
administration, and while the party will
accept Garfield with mechanical unity
the desperate courage and INSCRIPTIONS
strategy which made Hayes president.
will not be repeated for Garfield by the
only men who could repeat it.
The nomination makes every south
ern state democratic, makes Ohio doubt
full, makes New York and New JERSEY
hardly debatable for the republicans,
and makes Indiana, California, Oregon
and even Pennsylvania dependent upon
the verdict of Ohio in October. If Gar
fields own state shall be lost in the
preliminary October, the ensuing con-
Test will be ended and his defeat over
whelming while If he shall carry 1t by
\ reduced majority, as is inevitable
against a strong democratic ticket, his
election will then be no more than pos
sible. He will be assailed in his own
state and by his political friends with
uncommon bitterness, and his integrity
will be as positively questioned as the
defamers of Blaine have questioned the
purity OF his public record. His own
constituents and party associates have
made this public by standing out as his
%accusers. That he does not deserve
thus to be assailed any more than
Blaine do not doubt, and the indepen.
dent press OF the country will be faith.
full in his defense against all detama.
tory assaults. But they have weakened
him in the popular vote.
He will be compelled to wade through
a violent flood of partisan bitterness
from now until the melancholy days Of
November. OF which he spoke in nom
mating Sherman. shall come to de.
liver him from the angry waves OF the
political strife. and as it was prede,
termined that he should be over
weighted in the race, the nomination
of Arthur tor vice-president was loadec
upon him to make the battle Tor tn,
controlling state OF New York a hope
less one. 1t Is possible for democrat,
telly to elect the Garfield ticket. 1T
election will be impossible if states
manship and patriotism shall be amonI
> the conspicuous attributes of the dem
ocratic candidate.

SAD CASE OF DROWNING.

[union West Virginia) Register June 2.l
On Friday evening last the two Oldest
sons 81 M. A. Steele. Esq; Paul and
Beirne. aged about eight and ten years
respectively. with their younger
brother aged six, started cut in the
country on the hunt OF cherries, and in
passing by the pond in what is known
as "Moses Hsllsw," the two eldest,
Paul and Beirne, stripped for q bath in
the pond; Relrne going in first and it
appears he ventured out too deep and
became %strangled. while Paul ex-
claimed. look at Beirne, aud jumped IN
to rescue him, when both went down at
once; Paul came up once, but sank to
rise no more. The little brother waited
Tor some time and called them, but they
net answering, he lett the pond and
brought their clothes home and gave
the alarm. The citizens of the town,
white and colored, rushed to the scene
at once Some went to the Dunlap
pond in another direction which de-
layed action. until j. Orr Nickel, a
youth Of twelve years, son of our es-
teemed county clerk, stripped and
dived down, raising Paul, but could not
bring him out when Mr.. II. P. Moler
went and assisted in bringing him to
the shore. In the meantime. DIR. j. L..
Dunlap went in and raised Belrne and
brought him to the shore. They must
have been in the water two or three
hours, as all efforts to resuscltate them
failed. Never has Jul community been
so shocked before. the thought of two
such interesting boys having been cen
on the streets in full life and vigor just
a few hours to be suddenly snatched
from the embrace Of loved friends and
parents. 1t vas enough to melt the
hardest heart and bring it to q knowl-
edge OF the uncertainty Of life and the
certainty of death. The father, mother,
and remaining members OF the family,
have the deepest sympathy Of the COM
munity. in this, their sad bereavement.
They were both buried in n coffin on
Saturday evening last, followed to
their last resting place in the Union
Cemetery by their Sunday school mates
and a large concours OF citizens.

PLATFORM.

When in command Of the department
of Texas and Louisiana, Gen. Hancock
issued the following order which is a
platform in itself:-''The general cem-
manding Is gratified to learn that peace
and quiet relgns in this department. II
will be his purpose to preserve this con-
dition OF things as a means to this great
end. He regards the maintenance OF tn,
civil authorities in the faithful execution
Of the laws as the most efficient under
the existing circumstances. In war it is
indispensable to repel force with force,
and to overthrow and destroy the oppo-
sition to lawful authority, but WHEEL
insurrectisnary force has been over
thrown and peace established. and the
civil authorities are ready and willing
to perform their duties, the military
pewer should cease to lead, and civil
naturalization resume It's natural and
rightfnl udominlons. Solemnly i'm
pressed with these views. the genera
announces that the great principles OF
American liberty are still the lawinl
inheritance of this people and ever
should be; the right of trial by jury.
the habeas corpus. the liberty of the
press, the freedom OF speech. the ma
tional rights OF persons, and the rights
of property, must be preserved. Free
institutions, while they are essential to
the prosperity and happiness of the
people, always furnish the strongest
Inducements to peace and order. Crimes
and ofenses committed in this district
must be referred 10 the consideration and
judgment of the regular civil tribunals,
and those tribunals will be supported
in their lawful jurisdiction.
