The Value of Cats.

"The harmless, necessary cat" is not
so well treated as it deserves. One
rarely considers, remarks contempo-
rary, that well-kept cat may be more
profitable than cow If one rat per
day is destroyed tie services of the
cat NAV be estimated as at least equal
to 500 per year. Let US try to calcu-
late the enormous damage done by
three hundred and sixty-fve rats in
one year, to say nothing of the numer-
Gus progeny of 80 many vermin. One
rat per day is moderate amount of
business for an active cat. Recently
the writer counted five rats captured
in a stable by one cat one day, and
possibly others were not seen. The
cat, being we'll fed, hunted for am mdse-
ment, and did not eat the prey. This
is the principal point in the manage
ment of cat. 1t should be we'll and
regularly fed, for rats are unwhole-
some food. They are infested with
larve of tape worms, and cats are fire.
quently tormented with the mature
parasite in consequence of devouring
diseased rats. When kept from hun
ger, cat will watch more patiently
and will only occasionally devour a
rat or a mouse.

Lost, Strayed, or Stolen

A Solid South; what has become Of
it The great venture of the Demo-
cratic party has been completely de-
feated by the logic of events. When
the leaders of the party met in Gin
cinnati, the world was all before them,
where to choose they were as free
from committal as if they were new
born from the womb of the whirl-wind.
Wade Hampton arose in that august
assemblage and promised to the party
which he represented one hundred and
thirty eight Southern votes, and, ac-
cepting that assurance, the Democ-
racy went out to battle. By so doing
it fathered the Solid South. 1t fathered
the principle of secession; the princi-
pie of States Rights; the black curse
of slavery.
What has been the effect The DEM
ocratic party is not simply defeated.
1t is buried so deep beneath the major
tiles of the loyal North that the most
devoted archeologist will scarcely take
the pains to exhume it and all the
companionship it finds is that of the
defeated Confederate, its chosen ally in
its work of disintegration.-EF.

"The State Of Allegheny"

The Pittsburgh Dispatch announces
the existence of club in that city call
ed tie Secession Club" which favors
the division of Pennsylvania into two
States, the western half of which is to
be called the ''State of Allegheny "
Numbers of private citizens are also
said to be interested in the PROJECT,
and have expressed an earnest desire
for its success. The scheme has gone
so far that the boundary line of the
new State has been fixed Beginning
at the New York line at the eastern
limit of Mexican, in nearly y the centre
of the present map of the State, 1t is to
run more or less zig-zag, always res
pecting the present county lines, until
it strikes the Mary land border, taking
in on the way Mexican, Cameron,
Clearfeld Blair, Huntingdon and Full
ton counties, and leaving therefore to
Pennsylvania for it's Western frontier
the counties of Potter, Clinton. Centre,
Miffiin, Juniata an6 Franklin Ale
ghenv would thus be made to include
% counties, which, according to the
unofficial returns of the recent census,
have a population of l,454, 1876, or
about one-third of the present popula-
ton of the undivided State.
The above project would meet with
general favor in Western Pennsylva-
MIA. There is little business interest
or sympathy between the Eastern
and Western parts of this State. The
State of Allegheny would be great
convenience

MIDDLEToWN, Nov. 1881.
Mr.. EDITOR We presume we have
had one fair election in old Concord
township The Democrats set forth
to the Court that it was q necessary
precaution to secure the purity and
fairness of election of Concord town.
ship. Overseers of election were there
fore appointed and regularly installed
in their office A desperate effort was
made by the Democrats to have things
run Just right, and becoming satisfied
that all was safe, and the polls being
closed, they left the thing in the hands
of their overseer and went home. After
they were all gone he became very
tired and lay down and betook himself
to sleep. The balance of the board
went on in the discharge of their duty
as usual and we presume we have had
one fair election. As our township
was the only township in the county,
we believe, that was provided with
over GERS, and one of them fast asleep,
we presume that man fast asleep is
not very well qualified to discharge the
the election. But there was one
thing he was very good at: he was
good enough to insult an old citizen af-
ter partaking of free lunch provided
by him. The old citizen had provided
a free lunch for the board and took it
to them, and while yet there some dis
patches from other districts came and
he desirous to see them, went up to
the table and asked the other overseer
if he might see them, and they were
politely handed to him, but before he
had time to read them the Democrat
overseer informed the constable that
the table would have to be cleared;
there was too many men about 1T. The
old man left without making any reply,
knowing that dispatches were very
likely to be irritable after eating hearty
of pie and sweet cake.

HOW THEY VOTED.



By the above it will be seen that all
the Northern States, with the excep-
ton of New Jersey and Nevada, have
voted on the side of the Republicans,
giving Garfield and Arthur 2l9 votes
in the electoral count, or 50 Of major
ity. The States going with the Dem
ocrats, are the entire Southern ones,
having 1873 electoral votes, to which
are added the Northern ones of New
Jersey, 9, and Nevada, 8, making II,
which with the 1873, make the whole
number for Hancock and English,
$50.
Since the above was written the
latest news from California indicate
that State as very close, requiring the
official count to decide Should it be
for Hancock, his electors, would then
be 156, and Garfelds 213, leaving
majority for Garfield of 81.
THE POPULAR VOTE.
The popular vote, it is pretty GER
tain, will also be on the side of the
Republican candidates, which is
source of satisfaction, as it gives assu-
rance of an acquiescence in the result
by the Democrats. Four years ago
their chief cause of complaint was that
TiIden had majority of the popular
vote over Hayes. Now i. looks as if
that ground of complaint will not ex-
exist.
The electors of the different States
meet at their State Capitols next
month, December, and cast their votes.
These are sent to Washington, and
opened in the presence of both Houses
of Congress in February next, and the
result then officially declared. After
which, on the 4th of March following,
comes the Inauguration into Office of
the new PRESIDENT ana V Ice freSluenC

NEW YORK.

The fuss made by the Democrats,
about the result of the election in the
State Of New York, must certainly be
intended as scare, or to let themselves
down easy. We have been unable to
to discover any real ground for
charge of fraud that would overcome
some 10000 of a Republican majority.
And as to obtaining the vote of the
State on any mere technical ground, or
irregularity in manner of voting, Gen.
Hancock himself has given notice that
he would not accept the vote OF the
State on such ground.

What Garf1eld's Ele ction Means.

LONDON, November An continu-
alton of its views on the Presidential
election, the Daily Telegraph says
The success of the Republican candi-
date presages not only continuation
but further extension of that pros
perity which set in two years ago up
on the other side of the Atlantic and
the influence of which is largely felt
by these islands within their own con-
fines and also throughout the rest of
of the empire The probabilities are
that the next struggle for power will
be between the united free traders of
the south and west on the one hand
and against the eastern protectionists
on the other. In the opinion of far
sighted men upon both sides of the
Atlantic, it is impossible for that mo-
mentuous issue to be much longer de-
layed
The Manchester Guardian, the most
influential representative of the pro-
vincial press, comedies with the Lon
don papers on the decisive result Of
the election, leaving no opening for
disputes. 1t says: "Fhere seems to
be no reason why, if Democrats do not
change their tactics. the Republicans
should not hold Office for another
twenty years. Probably the former
would do well to let the question of
State rights drop as far as possible in
to obscurity. 1t behooves them to find
another ralIying cry. This may event,
ually be furnished by free trade. which
succession of bad harvests or the
gradual exhaustion of the soil may
bring into the range of practical poll.
TICS There is no possibility of mod.
ification of the tariff, at least for four
years. There is, however, some con-
ISOLATION for this in the fact that Re-
publican policy is otherwise friendly to
England"

In Pennsylvania the Republican
majority will reach about thirty-five
thousand for the Garfield electors and
Auditor General and Supreme Judge.
The Legislature will also be more
largely Republican than the present
one, an apparent majority of 80 being
obtained. This secures the election OF
