pect to receive any attention from the
pension committee as long as a ''reoel
general" was kept at the head OF that
committee. Mr.. Beltzhoover promptly
pronounced the letter a forgery, but
the Tribune, deeming it an effective
campaign document, kept it standing
at its editorial head until the morning
of the election, and insisted that 1t was
a genuine document. But the returns
indicate that Mr. Beltzhoovers con-
stituents had full confidence in their
representative, and he has been re-elect-
ed by 500 majority, an increase OF
952 on his majority of two years ago.
In Cumberland county, his home, Mr.
Beltzhooyer runs ahead of Gen. Han

One of the notable variations in the
general Democratic disaster and reduc-
ton of Democratic majorities, is the
reelection of Congressman 2 Uncover
by 800, being the large q majority
ever cast in his district and consider
ably more than the party vote. Cum

er and Professor Little, his Republican
competitor, reside, and where Mr..
Curriuden of pension letter notoriety,
is best known. gave Hancock 1,O3l
majority and Beltzhoover 1,25S, thus
proving that the Republicans of the
county either didn't believe Mr.. CurrIn-
den or that they didn't run the Presl-
Dental or Con- ressional battle in the
shallow cess pools of few politicians
who became greatly excited over their
own desperation and imagined that
everybody else was as foolish as them
selves. Professor Little, who is so
badly beaten, is prominent minister

political campaigns, he took the stump,

HORRIBLE MuRpER.-A horrible muir
der occurred at Batesville, Ohio, on
Monday morning last. Frank NJ. Bel
denbaUgb, young German, wealthy,
who three years ago married the dangh-
ter Of neighboring farmer, came home
, late Saturday night intoxicated, and
entering the room where his wife and
child were sleeping, assaulted them

crushed by a single blow and then he
cut his sons throat with the edge Of
the axe. He then went to the room
whore Mrs. Stephens, visitor, and her
child and servant were sleeping, and
killed Mrs. Stephens and her child.

Upon recovering consciousness she gave
the alarm, and the neighbors came to

crime.

DAD CoMPANY.-When you drive a
nail into a board, and draw it out again,
it will leave an impression, will it not!
And when you leap into the water, you
will get wet, will you not? 1t is exact
ly the same with bad company. You
may not do just what has been done,
and perhaps you may not say what you
have heard said, but something will
show itself in your character i'll after
life, like the impression of the nail in
the board. Suppose you were walking
along a street, and somebody said to
you: "This is a dangerous street,
would keep off of lido you see the
holes and bitches here ?" would you not
