Our readers will remember brief
Associated Press dispatch telling how
two men IN stage coach in Mexico,
named Frank Senter and Geo. Green,
drove band Of highwayman with
Winchester rifles. Frank Senter Is a
Portland boy, nephew OF VIM. SEN
ter, Esq aud WAS until lately in the
jewelry business with his uncle on
Exchange street, We extract the fol-
lowing account of the affair in Mexi-
co from q private letter written by
Mr.. Senter Home:
1--WE left GuancjIeto at 8 o'clock A.
NJ, December I5lh. The weather was
biting cold, but as usual we took our
seats on the top of the coach with re-
volvers and cartridges about US, and
Winchester corbines on our knees.
After riding about three hours, and
just at light, we heard rush OF hor-
ses at our side aud shot fired over
our heads, with an order to surrender.
We answered the summons with two
shots into the crowd, and the man In
front Of Georges rifle fell and bis
companions started for the leading
mules o stop them and tangle them
up, but when twenty yards from me
| rolled him from his horse and did
not see him move limb afterward
We then turned to see thirty well
armed aud mounted Mexicans follow
ing aud firing. We put In quick
shooting and soon drove them back
seventy yards or more. They then
tried to circle us, but as we turned
our attention TO the head men, they
all broke and collected in bunch
We then had our coats of and placed
In front Of us, with hundred rounds
between us, aud we ordered the coach
TO be stopped and began our fne
work at sharp shooting. This seemed
TO make them wild, and with q yell
like Comanche Indians, twenty OF
thirty Of them came down on us at
full speed firing all the way, and O
wilder sight never care to see. II
was no use giving up then, as they
should have cut ne TO pieces had we
surrendered so we met them In solid
style, showing what winchester rife
was good for. and as luck would have
IL, after firing sixty-nve shots, we
drove them back at full speed. One
fellow, whose horse shot from un-
der him, jumped behind the animal
and deliberately emptied four shells
at me over the saddle, and lodged
under the horse, two of my shots, but
my third took his wind In the of.
fray George was shot in the shoulder
but It was q flesh wound, and we kept
OH our way with guard of eleven
furnished us at the next city, foui
miles beyond. There were go many
bushes we could not exactly tel
now many were killed, but we are
sure five robbers and four horses will
not trouble travellers again. Insidt
the coach was Spanisrd, who threw
his revolver from the window; Q
Mexican who wrapped his head in
blanket and put his revolver undei
him; German who had pocke
pistol and wisely did not shoot, and
a lady who did the praying; so yol
see what o party we had TO depend
on, and what lucky escape We had

one man than did there From

Why he Kissed Her and Why He
Wept.

A lady friend has transmitted to us
the following "Opiuions Of the Press"
in all parts of the world, upon the
subject of the text which tells you
that Jacob kissed Rachel aud lifted up
his voice and wept:
II Rachel was pretty girl, and kept
her face clean, we can't sea what Ja-
cob had to cry about-Daily Tele-
graph.
How do you know but that she
slapped his face for hin.-Ladies'
Treasury.
The cause Of Jacobs weeping was
the refusal OF Rachel to allow him kiss
her again. .-Nonconformiut.

because he had not kissed Rachel be-
fore. and he wept for the time he had
lost.--The City Press.
The fellow wept because the girl did
not kiss him Pail Mall Gazette.
Our own opinion is that Jacob wept
because he found after all it was not
half what it was cracked up to be-

A mistake-not his eyes but his
mouth watercd. d.-The Ladies' Chron-

Jacob wept because Rachel told him

In the capacious breast pocket Of the

proposed using on his way back from
the widow Brown. Now just before
he started Bob slipped the tickler out
and put in its place a small alarm
clock, carefully wound up and set for

out and was well on with his over

rmnortant Announcement.

As some of the dealers in the Home Sana-
tive Cordial felt uncertain whether they
could sell it as medicine, and free from
LIQUOR occupation tax, we beg to state that In
the trial of case recently decided in the
county court Off county. at Waxshachie,
where Mr.. Benjamin White was presented
for selling, in violation of the local optor
law. the defense established that the Home
Ssnstive Cordial was compound tincturt
of calisaya and iron. The jury pronounced
it a real medicine, and declared the defend
ant not guilty. 1t is thus medicine in tht
ewes of the law, and dealers can sci
il without paving occupation liquor tax.
Very respectfully,

Editors CifjzeH-It is not often we
trouble the type or invade the editorial
sanctum. but under the circumstances,
pardon the depression from a general
rule we have adopted, and give this a
place in your valuable paper Our
town is growing smaller day by day,
on account Of the oil operations seeking
more prolific fields. But this is not
our only loss. Our esteemed and
much-respected young friend. DR.. r..
l.. Patterson has also left Us for new
field (if not better one which we hope
will not be so laborious to him, and
although it may be his gain, we feel
deeply the loss of one who, by his
gentlemanly department, genial dispo-
sition and many humane acts, added to
his professional ability, had endeared
himself to his numerous patrons and
to the community at large. His great
success in the treatment Of that dread
full scourge, "diphtheria. as well as
other acute diseases, had made his
name a household word throughout
the whole neighborhood. beside a wide
spread reputation in the adjoining
county Of Armstrong. In our loss the
only consolation we have is in his gain,
and the assurance that the citizens Of
East Liverpool, Ohio, where he has
located, will have a physician well
worthy of their esteem and patronage,
and we bespeak for our friend sue
cessful career. Yours, etc,

ACCORDING to the verdict Of jury
in case lately tried before our Court,
wherein the defendant was made TO
pay the costs Of the suit, and from
the decisions Of some Justices Of the
Peace Cf this county in some cases
lately tried before them, we would
judge that good mechanics and honest
contractors were no longer wanted
either in this town or county. The
verdicts Of juries sometimes are, as we
all know, unaccountable, and it is
human nature for Justices to look af-
ter their costs, fact that might be
remedied in the interests Of justice by
making the Office a salaried one. We
heard good carpenter and contractor
argue the other day that it was useless
for him to bid on a job, when another
and entirely irresponsible person
would underbid him, do the job " hen
he pleased and how he pleased, and
get verdict or decision in his favor
no matter how the contract read or
what the specifications called for.

Double Postal-Cards.

Postmaster General Key has ad-
dressed a communication to the House
Post-Oflice Committee in response to q
resolution calling upon him for infor-
nation in regard to the double postal
cards and returning letter envelopes
authorized by the Forty-fifth Congress,
and his reason for not adopting them.
He adverts to the restrictions imposed
by the law on the payment of any
more money for designs, and says that
all designs for such cards as possess
any merit have been patented. Moreover
the contract under which the single post
al cards are furnished would, in the opin-
ion of the Assistant Attorney General,
cover all postal-cards to be used by the
Government until the expiration of
the contract. This would compel the
department to accept the terms OF a
single manufacturer Further, as the
present system of postal-cards has
proved merely private accommoda-
tion and has not increased the revenue,
the department does not favorably re-
gard the policy Of opening the door to
further encroachment upon the Scent
postage rate. The Postmaster General
does not regard the double-letter en-
velopes as Of any practical utility.

The Blaine Boom.
IErie Disnatch.1

Erie Dispatch.
Notwithstanding the action Of the
late State Convention the Blaine boom
show no signs of weakening. On the
contrary it continues in full force and
vigor In addition to VIM. b. Waddell
and Caleb n. Taylor, delegates to the
Republican National Convention from
the Chester and Bucks county districts,
III. o. Hitner, Mr.. Taylor's associate,
and o. ID. Kinney. Of Bradford county,
publicly announce their determination
to disregard the instructions of the
State Convention, and obey the will OF
their immediate constituents by voting
for the nomination Of James g. Blaine.
In the district adjoining ours, composed
Of Crawford, Mercer, and Butler coun-
ties, the two appointed delegates, John
/. Gordon and Thomas Robinson,
have been instructedb y each of the
counties named in favor OF Mr.. Blaine,
and consequently, with counter instruc-
tions from the State Convention, feel
somewhat embarrassed. What they will
do remains to be seen.
