WAS HE MURDERED2
Covered with $4O,OO9 Insur-
anCe.

From the Northumberland Press, Sept. 3, 1880.
A man named Brandt, about seven
ty-three years of age was seriously
hurt, at the depot on last Monday
night, from the effects of which he died
yesterday morning, at Mrs. Julia A.
Johnson's hotel, where he bad been
placed by the oYerseers of the poor the
morning after the accident. We have
not learned where he is from, or how
the accident occurred, but as his hat
and cane were found about the freight
depot it is supposed that he met with
tie accident while attempting to board
a freight train which passes this place
west about 8 O'Clock in the evening.
But there are grave doubts about the
accident having occurred in this way,
as the bruises on his body, we, are in
formed By DR.. II. w. Burg, the at
tending physician, do notlook as if be
had been knocked down by being struck
by a car. 1t is stated that different
persons have an insurance Of $40, 900 on
his life, which leads many persons to
think there was foul play. A sou, who
is in the employ of the P. & e. R. R.
Co. at Williamsport, called to see him
on Tuesday but left again on the same
day. Mr.. Geo. Guyer, of the Nation
al Hotel, at Selinsgrove, who has, we
are informed, $4,000 insurance on the
deceased, was also here on Tuesday to
see the old man. 'and directed that the
best care should be given him, and that
he would foot the bill.
LATER.-Two sons are here to look
after the burial of their deceased faith
er, and Mr.. Guyer was here yesterday
and paid all the expenses for the keep
ing Of the deceased.
A post-mortem examination of the
body will be made to-day in the pres
ence of coroner's jury.

A Doc SToRY.-Less than a year
ago j. FL. Hughes, of Bridgeport, pres
ented to Judge Hummel, of Lewisburg
Union county, fne fox hound. The
Judge expected to use the dog for deer
hunting. One day recently the hound
reappeared al his former masters home
in Bridgeport. How the hound found
his way from the farther side of the
Susquehanna, across Northumberland,
Schuylkill and Berks, is puzzle to the
people of Bridgeport, for he was sent
to Judge Hummel by rail.

MOCRATIC MEETING
MADISONBURG.

A large and enthusiastic Democrat
ic meeting came off at Madisonburg
on last Friday evening. Big delega.
tions from Rebersburg and Millheim
attended, headed by their respective
bands. The old burg WAS literally fill
ed with people and we Yentu re to say
that never before did NJ adisonbulg e
have anything like such a politica
demonstr alton as this. Just before the
meeting procession was formed and
parade was had. Most Of the visit
ors from Millheim and Rebersburg
had torches, and many Of the Reber g.
burg boys caps and capes beside. The
long procession with torches, banners,
and music, was most beautiful sight.
At about 81 O'Clock the meeting wa 8

full Town Hall. Hon. W. K. Alexan-
ander was appointed President, assisted

TO Young Men.

Henry Clay once said: "I owe my sue
cess in life to ono fact, namely: At tho age
Of twenty soven commenced aud contin-
uod for years the practice of reading and
speaking upon the contents of somo histor-
ical or scientific book. These off.hand
efforts were made sometimes in tho coru-
fold, at Others in forest, aud not unfre-
quentiy in some distant barn, with tho
horse and OK for my auditors. It is this
early practice 10 the great art of arts that
am indebted for the primary aud leading
Impulse that stimulated mo forward, aud
shaped and nodded my entire destiny.
Improve, then, young gentlemen, tho supe-
rior advantages you here oujoy. Let no
day pass without exercising your powers of
speech. There is no pay like oratory.
Cesar controlled mon by exciting their
fears, Cicero by captivating their affections
and swayiug their passions. The influence
OF tho ono perishcs with the author; that of
the other continues to this day."

NO RINGsTERS NEED APPLY.

The people want President,
Aud soon will choose the man,
But not by fraud and forgery,
Nor on the imperial plan.
One simple rule they will enforce,
With purpose stern and high;
That short and simple rule is this:
No ringstcrs need apply.
1t matters not that any man
Was trained to drive mule,
Or that pulpit he has filled,
Or taught country school.
If hc betrayed the peoples trust,
They mean to pass him by,
Enforcing thus tho simple rule:
No ringsters need apply.
No servant of the swindliug Rings,
No spawned party hack,
Though backed by patronage, can win
Upon the honest track,
For when he calls bribe foe,
The people mark tho lie,
And read to him the simple rule:
No ringsters need apply.
A brave, clear headed, truthful man,
Honest and clean and fair,
Will be the peoples choice to Gil
Tho Presidential chair;
And when he scans tho claims of men,
With clear and searching eye,
lie will enforce this simple rule:
No ringstcrs need apply.

Tho following Information, which VIC

she true state Of the case with regard to tho
purchase of tho Grcenvile and Columbia
Railroad: The Clyde Committee arc ready
and willing to comply with tho bid at which
the road was first knocked down to them.
that is at s2,394,6O0, and on the fret day
of our Court here their counsel will file a
petition asking that the road be turned over
to than at that figure, as they claim that
the Master had no right to continue tho
bidding after that. MIR. Courtonay has
given them an option to take tho road of
his hands at his final bid, S2,9G3, 100.
They have yet neither ACC, pied nor refused
to do so and by tho terms of the option
they have ,oonth yet to consider. The
report that thoy would ask for resale is o
mistake, as they insist that they have
rie daB the road at s2,394, 900, and do not
c nws that they are bound by Mr..

Grant on Hancock.

The Cincinnati Enquirer publishes an
account of q conversation wi th an old friend
recently held by Gen. Grant, during which
the following occurred: "Upon being
questioned as to the prospect of the ensuing
oanvaes, ho rather evaded any direct cx-
preston of opinion Mt first; but when allu-
sion was mado to tho military record of
Gen. Hancock oil tho latent enthusiasm of
his nature seemed to be aroused, but he
freely remarked that, in his opinion, no
hotter or safer man could be elected to tho
Chief Magistracy. He eulogized tho mer-
its of Gen. Hancock as oorps commander
very highly, and said he was man who
mover fatored in tho performance of duty,
and seldom, if ever, made blundcr. The
ex President evidently looked upon it as
compliment to himself that soldier of
such rank should have been selected at Gin.
oinnati, apparently feeling that the prefer
cnces of the people are rather for a man
who combines tho qualities of a statesman
and soldier both than for more politician.
He was particularly outspoken in expressing
his admiration for Hancock's record as
commander Of the Fifth Military District,
and more than half admitted that his own
administrations would have been creator
success had he been able to concentrate his
cabinet on similar policy towards the
South in the earlier days of reconstruction.
AS it was, he subsequently demonstrated
tho souhdness, wisdom and practicabiltv
of the policy, whom, following as it wero in
Haucocks footsteps, ho took the response
biity iu his own hands, and made pcrma-
ncnt pcace among tho warning sections of
Arkansas. "It cannot be denied" tho
General added, with significant puff of
his cigar, "that the Democracy have at last
como to their senses, and we'll improved
their opportunity. It'll tho first time, in
fact, since circumstances led me out of tho
party that it has made nomination for
which there was such a show of success;
and this timo I shouldn't wonder if they
had hit the right nail square on the head.
And, cn the whole, as between ourselves
aud horao rack, can't say that / am
sorry for IT," The Goneral had nothing to
say, h9wpvcr, in depreciation Of Mr.. Gar.
field, ln'llsr than the remark that he had
far too many volumes of Congressional de-
bates behind him to make smooth and
successful canvass on.

God Cares for Me.

I sat in the door at eventide,
My heart was full Of fears;
Aud saw the landscape before mo lio
Through mists Of burning tears
/ thought to myself tho world is dark,
No light nor joy see;
Nothing but toll and want is mino,
And no ono cares for me.
A sparrow was twittoring at my feet,
With its beautiful auburn head,
Aud looked at mo with dark, mild eyes,
As it picked up crumbs of bread;
Aud said to mo in words as plain
AS the words of bird could be:
'sI'm only sparrow, worthless bird,
But tho doar Lord cares for no."
A lily was growing beside tho hedge,
Beautiful, tall aud white,
Aud it shown through the glossy leaves Of
green
Like an angel clothed in light
And it said to me, as it waved its head,
On the brcezos soft and free:
"I'm only lily, tender flower,
But the Master cares for NO."
Then it seemed that tho hand of tho loving
Lord
Over my head was laid,
And he said to me: go faithless child,
Wherefore art thou dismayed?
I olotho tho lilies, feed the birds,
l sec the sparrows fall,
Nothing escapes my watchful eye,
My Kindness is over all."

The BLESSINGS OF THE BIBLE.
What an illustrious book is the
Bible! 1t rises like a stream in
the desert land--its source is in
the skies and its fountain in the
valleys Of the earth. 1t has rolled
on, century after century, enrich
ing every land with vcrdurc and
beauty, rc1icctlng all the glowing
sky above it, diilusing "whatso-
ever things arc pure, whatsoever
things are Of good report" around
it. 1t shines into the easement of
the window like light Of the morn
ing sun and makes her heart to
sing with JOY, and enables her
orphans to lift their eyes to the
wide shore of the eternal sea, and
to say, "Immcnsity is our home;
eternity is our lifetime; the mighty
God that built the universe is our
Father, our portion, our friend"
1t plants in mans heart the hope
of joy, the halo Of glory and i'm
mortality. 1t crccts in mans
conscience the rule Of right and
wrong. 1t is emphatically the
standard Of Christianity. Wher-
over tho standard is unrolled there
freedom has its noblcst footing.
