Stolen Horse RecOvere.l-Attempt tn Steal
AnOther-New Building-The HOlit-
fcal Outlook, &C., &c.
McCOnnOr, who had the horse stolen
from him at Cbristiana u week ago, has
succeeded in getting his horse, but has not
yet recovered his harness or buggy. The
horse was found near Sadsburyville grazing
along the pike without harness of any
kind. The thief will no doubt get clear OF
the laws clutches this time.
The Octoraro Sunday school held celc-
bratiOn OH Saturday, Sept. 4, and every
thing passed off pleasantly.
An attempt was maze some eight days
ago to enter the stable of II. Reed, near
this village, but a large turkey, whose
rOOsting place was on the gate through
which the thieves had to go to enter the
stable, set up II gObble, gObble, with SO
much earnest that Mr.. Reed WIS reused
from his sleep and raised his window in
time to hear the "gent" decamp over the
fence and through the cOrnfield. Reed
says: "Gecsc may have saved Rome, but
it is of more Importance to him to know
that a Christmas gObblcr saved his horse -
Robert S. Mcclure, of Green Tree, is on
a sort of Il retirement from the tobacco
business on account of Il very sore hand.
But says lie was too lazy to go for 4 saw
to cut tobacco and went ut it with his
pocket knife, bruised his hand, and now
has to lay Off with catarrh that takes him
on extra visits to DR.. Martin.
Solomon Hamcr has built quite an addi-
tiOn to his stable to be used rs tobacco
shed. Mr.. Hamer is an extensive and sue
cessful grower of the weed and his crop for
this year will compare favorably with any
in this section.
The political outlook in Bart is more ia
vorablo to the Democrats this year than it
has been for many years. The nomination
of w. S. Hancock has had the effect of
stirring up tho young and middlc-agcd
Democrats, and as yet VIC have to meet
the first one OfDemocratic persuasion who
has not felt " the thrill of coming success
in his bones" The opposition are rather
quiet on their candidates qualities, and the
intelligent among them say Hancock is
good general and would probably
make good president, but We don't like
his company" From this we infer that
Hancock should have been 4 Republican
Of the Mosby or Longstrcet stripe. What
is our form of government when loyalty is
only attributed to those who rub snuff
with the dominant party. no matter what
be. Garfield and Arthur have been tried
and condemned by their own associates :;
the Republican press of seven years ago
sent broadcast over the land the disgrace
Of Garfield; the Republican president of
to-day publicly proclaimed the disgrace of
Arthur, and yet the same party, the same
press, the same president. would thrust
their mailed hand in the face OF the people
and elevate these men to the highest office
within the gift of the greatest nation on
the ca rth.

THE ARKANSAS ELECTION.
The Democrats Garry thr State by the Usua
Majority.

1n0 D0lnOCTatS OBrfy Jnr St8C0 Nv the Usual
Majority.
The indications are that at the election
for all state and county officers and men,
bers of the Legislature in Arkansas, Mon-
day, the Democrats carried the state by the
usual majority. The Republicans claim
the election of w. S. Olmer for sheriff of
Pulaski county. Nothing definite can be
asccrtained, however, at present. 1t
will take the official count to determine
the result in Pulaski. The main question,
the proposed amendment to the constitu-
tion repudiating certain bonds, is probably
defeated. Reports from Pulaski, Jeffer-
son, Miller and other counties give over
whelming majOrities against it. The
chairman Of the Democratic committee es
Inmates the majority for the Democratic
state officers at 60 600.

Tobacco S;,Oilins-MOre Changcs-POlitlcs.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Our tobacco men are troubled in mind.
The tOb,cco is spelling in the houses and
making double trouble by great
deal of it having to be moved, taken down,
etc. We have not heard of any of our
growers having trouble with their tobacco
when they allowed their crop to become
perfectly ripe before cutting, and allowed
it to remain Scatloled in the field for some
time, and gave it reasonable room in we'll
ventilated houses. Whether the above
mode Of handling the weed is what is neces-
sary to save it from loss VIC cannot say,
nor have VIC heard any of our old, scien-
tific farmers advance IN opinion as to the
cause Of the trouble, nor Il remedy for it.
If the 1NTELLIGENCER can throw any light
on the subjCc: We arc sure that many
Hancock readers down here will appreciate
it.
We arc having u world Of worry and
bother and cussIDy about the manner some
body is twiStii.., our Lancaster and Port

And now another change has been made,
causing the mail to leave ReftOn ut eight
o'clock Il. H., go to ROwlan(lsville and re-
turn to Reiton ut 8 o'clock p. M. We will

plish the general purposes for which it was
established-the crushin. Of mOnopolies,
dispensing with middle men. cheapening
articles used by farmers, and finding for
them better markets for their produce.
Mr.. Hunsecker spoke rather favorably
Of the grange. but added that since its
organization only one farmer had been
sent to the legislature from Lancaster
cOunty-Nr. Gantz-and he had made
goose of himself. Mr.. Hunsecker took oc-
casion TO give Gatchell, CAN'T, Peoples,
Landis and other legislative roOsters Il
pretty severe scoring.
Mr.. Br'si,,s put in good word for the
much abused corporations, especially the
Pennsylvania railroad company, without
which great monopoly the grangers could
not get Il bushel OF wheat to market. Even
if the great corporations are guilty of
wrong doing sometimes they accomplish
great good aml VIC can't get along without
them.
MIR. Eby liked orc If the rules of the
Sransers it requires every male member
to plant annually two trees ard the females

Mr. Hoover did not think Oh the whole,
tha. the grange had been a success, but he
knew families and communities that had
been advanced intellectually by its social
gatherings.
Committee ON Nomenclature.
The chair appointed the following named
| committee Oh nomenclature for the ensu-
ing year Henry NJ. Engle, Calvin Cooper,
Casper Hitler, Daniel Smeych and Levi s.
Reist.
The question, g Do young maidens or
old maids make the best farmers wives ?''
was by unanimous consent postponed
MIR. Linvil!e who proposed the question
and Mr.. Kcndig to whom it was referred,
both being iucOrrigible old bachelors, and
having no practical knowledge Of the sub
.ject, and the married men dceming it wis
dom to let the bachelors find out for them
selves, as they had done.
Mr.. Enslc presented members with cop
les of the ninth quarterly report of the

farmer whose farm Is not mOrtSaSed. MIR.
Hershey thought the lender Of the money
who was drawing interest and not the
farmer who was paying interest is the
proper party to be taxed.
A long and rambling dicussion followed
in which Mr.. Linvillc Hoover, Mr.. Eby
and others cOncurrcd with MIR. Hershey,
and DR.. Greene, MIR. BrOsius and Mr.. Mil
ler and others differed. DR.. Greene's ar
gument was that if a mortgaged farm were
exempted from taxation, it would bc to the
interest of farmers to mortgage their farms
as much as possible and invest the money
thus raised in untaxed bonds and other
securities.
Tho Paper Moth.
''HOw can the paper moth be most cC-

ferred at last meeting to DIR. RathvOn was
made the subject of an chronological
paper by that gentleman, who not know
ing exactly what insect was meant by the
question, proceeded to describe several of
and papers

cessful?" referred last meeting for answer
to johnson Miller, brought forth a paper
from that gentleman in which he contend
ed that the grange movement had not
been successful in accomplishing its pur
pose of bringin. the producer and con-
sumer closer together by dispensing with
middle men, nor had it been effective in
reducing freighta, curbing monopolies,
purifying politics or performing any other
matter of general good. Ever since the
organization of this secret order there had
been more professional men and fewer far
mers sent to the Legislatures, both state
and national, than before.
The essay was discussed by Henry NJ.
Engle. C. L. Hunsecker. VIM. Fl. BrOsius,
Eph. Hoover and johnson Miller (evcry
one of whom, singularly enough, were
defeated candidates for Legislative honors)
Their views were various. Mr.. Engle

WOMAN AS A CENSUS TAKER.

In many parts of the country women
will be appointed as census enumeratole,
with the probable result something like
this:
Neatly dressed woman of an uncertain
age, with big book in her arm and pen i'll
hand, rings the door bell. Young lady
appears at the door.
Census Enumerator-'. Good morning.
Lovely morning. I'm taking the census.
You were born?'

A Popular Mistake Corrected.

Getting married is not altogether the
one-sided affair that some people have
supposed. The popular idea that all the
young women are just crazy to marry
anybody that will come along. and that
the reason they don't get married is be
cause nobody will ask them. seems to be
mistaken one. 4 st. Louis girl-and a
st. Louis girl is as apt to have good sense
calculations which are of much interest.
Young men who now have their power
full intellects centcred upon the subject
of spring pantaloons and the newest shade
i'll neck-tieS might contemplate the mat
ter with some profit if they make their
minds reach around it.
The st. Louis young woman is like
most other young women in complaining
of the scarcity Of manageable young
men, but she has some reason about it.
She figures out that she knows perhaps
one hundred young men, in round mum
bers. OF these she thinks she knows
about thirty intimately. and of these
thirty there are not more than four whom
she would consent to marry for love CT
money on the spur of the moment. 1t
may not be Il pleasant way of putting it,
but what She says is that, taking one
hundred young men as they come and
go, only one out OF every twenty-five can
be set down as unohiectontblc and able
to make Il living for himself and wife.
This is an awful thing for those other
twenty-iuur young men to think Of, and
1t is not necessary for one to he alto
gethcr philosopher to suspect that the
st. Louis girl is about right. She is evil
IDENTIFY tired hearing the endless COM
plants about the uselesSncss of the aver
age young woman when she knows that
the average young man is quite as much
ont OF place in this world. In fact, use
less young woman does stand chance
of growing UP to something or another,
but a useless young man docsu do that
oven by any sort OF accident Young
men have got to make q change in them
selves in some way: they are liable to be
wanted for something besides partners
