Iuniata County We copy the follow
ing from the Juniata county papers of
last week:
Last Friday as the team of Mr.. r.. A.
Wharton, of Spruce Hill twp, was on
the way to the cider press with load of
apples, the saddle horse broke q plank
on bridge running across the road, and
one of its hind legs went through and
got fast in the plank. Mr.. Will Whar-
ton, who had charge of the team, held
the horses head down and called for
help. Mr.. Samuel Wharton came to
the rescue and with the aid of an axe
removed the plank and saved the horse
from broken leg and the owner the
loss of valuable animal. The flesh
was badly torn on the leg of the beast.
This accident should serve as a warning
to supervisors to keep all bridges in good
repair and thus prevent the township
from paying large bill of damages
through their neglect. - Port RoydI
Times.
On Sabbath afternoon Mr.. Josiah
Dean and his sister Miss Maggie, of
Doyles Mills, were in attendance at
preaching at st. Paul's church. Just
after starting for home, Mr.. d. struck
the horse with the whip and in doing
so one of the lines fell out of his hand,
and with the other line he unintention-
ally drew the horse to the side of the
road on the bank, throwing the horse
down, upsetting the buggy and throw
ing the occupants out. Miss Maggie
sustained serious injury to her back, and
Josiah received an ugly cut above the
'eye.

Cumberland County.-We copy the fol-
lowing from the Cumberland papers
of last week
On Tuesday morning as Mr.. Peter
Spahr, one of the marshals of the parade
was riding down Main street his horse
took fright, and, stepping on the rail
road track, fell, throwing Mr.. S., vio-
lently to the ground. The train was
with difficulty stopped in time to pre-
vent the death of both rider and horse.
When stopped, the engine was within q
few feet of where Mr.. Spahr had fallen.
His injuries, strange to say, were only
slight, and he afterward took his place
in the parade " as unconcerned as
though nothing had happened"
The old red bridge spanning the Big
Spring, south of Newville, has been torn
down and the foundation for the arch of
new bridge laid.
One night, last week, house in Ship
pensburg, occupied by Mrs. Eager, was
entered by thieves aud quantity of eat
ables, number of pieces of clothing
and some household articles stolen.

Phhlie Opinion.

DR. SwErSAM: LIT me say word
in relation TO your paper--I highly ap-
preciate tit seems to me that il meets
tie wants Of this community. While it
IS political at the same time it is gensle-
manly, deals fairly and houorably with
its opponents. docs not stoop to low
slang and black2uala, which Is in my
view demoralizing. As political paper
is, and so will its readers he, if the pa
per is ungentlemanly and is. constantly
nttering falshoods and low trash its
readers will be likely to do the same.
There is one other department Of
your paper which consider wise and
valuable. refer to the religious col
umn. This is morally heaithfnll. !
think ] am not mistaken when | say
that many country homes have no other
paper only the political county paper
hence the importance Of having some
portion Of it devoted to good moral re
Iigious reading. which viii be instruct
i've and valuable to the growing family.
Now to close could you add a childrens
column. and sprinkle in occasi0nly a
few choice unobjectionahle articles on
temperance. Your paper i'll my estimate
would not only be good political pa
per buta good healthful, instructive
one fora family. READER.
The above coming from one Of the -
who opposed the starting ofthe Graphic
Is more than a mere compliment. It has
been noted that Adair county journal
ism has been benefited and improved in
more ways than one by the starting Of
the Graphic. Reader has DOUBTLESS

BUSINESS AND POLITICS.

One Of the most significant signs in
the present campaign, especially man.
! iiest IN Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New
York, is the action ofthe business men
of the county in relation to the pres
ont political crisis.
Heretofore the politician, high or
low as the case might be. monopo-
llzed The canvass, but now this new ell
ement, acting outside the usual party
lines and party methods, comes in as a
new factor to the problem, Dispatch
es from Philadelphia state that the
meeting held in that city on Monday
was one of the most remarkable
ever convened. The Academy
of Music was crowded with vast au-
dicnce of business men. while large
overflow meeting was held at hortlcul-
tural hall. Another notable feature,
was the fact that the speakers in almost
every instance, were men unused to
appearing in public, vet prominent in
their respective branches of business Oh
of manufacture. John Welch, ex-min-
lister to England presided, while in the
list of 226 vice-presidents, appeared
the names of scores of men, whom the
great state of Pennsylvania most de-
lights TO honor.
The speakers were unanimous in the
declaration ola belief that the triumph
of the democratic trickct would be
national calamity. and that 4 change
now, would be risk, politically and
financially that no patriot ought for
moment TO entertain or any prudent
man to favor.
This spontaneous movement on the
part of the sober far-seeing, dispasson-
ate business men means something
1t means danger 1t means disaster
to the country Voters should pond
er well these facts, and resolve to bury
with their ballots, any party, the mere
possibility of whose success, thus threat
ems the material prosperity as well as
the political welfare of the nation.

THE GARFIELDAND ARTHUR CLUB.
\ Grand Meeting

The Garfield and Arthur club room
was crowded last Thursday night tc
overiiowing. Intense enthusiasm pre-.
vailed, Judge Hess, of Macon, and
Rev, J.J Bently were the orators ot
the day. Judge Hess spoke first Civ.
ing clear exposition of republican
doctrines. He said the greenback
party was the hoy in your watermelon
patch in the back yard. The great
thief, the democratic party was at the
front door Watch the front door and
let the boys take the watermellons.
Ole was frequently cheered)
Rev Bentley followed and his ad-
dress was able and eloquent. He
alluded to the speeches made by
northern republicans being published
in all the republican papers through
out the land bu; VINO ever read speech
in full of Wade Hampton or Robert
Toombs published in a northern demo-
cratic paper. Why was the democrat
lc party afraid 20 have southern liter
ature circulated in the north. Storms
of applause followed the conclusion.
Club will be addressed next Saturday
night by good speakers.

JUDICIAL CONVENTION.

The iudiclal convention called To
meet in this place OH Thursday last to
nominate republican candidate for
Judge OF the 9Th judicial district, ad-
iourned over to the alst IN order to have
a more complete representation from
all the counties in the district, it being
understood that Mr.. q lillian the only
one prominently spoken of as a candi-
date would not make the race unless
assured TIE hearty support Of the dis
trict. Putnam county was represented
by proxy and favored a straight noni-
nation. Macon county had held no
primaries, and her representatives. pres
ent by request, did not feel authorized
to speak authoritively for the party.
Schuyler failed to send any delegates.
| The Adair delegation is understood to
be solidly for nomination and to be
unanimously in favor of Mr.. MILAN,
but feel as he does in regard to the
balance of the district.
We hope the conventions when it as
sembles on the 2lst, will have full
delegation from the various counties.
and that they will come prepared to
give an expression of the genuine re-
publican sentiment Of the district.
If one man, and a bitter democratic
partisan at that carries tho republican
as well is democratic parties in his vest
pocket. it is time we were finding 1t
out, so that hereafter the useless
iormality and expense of nomination or
election can be dispensed with.
The question Of the nomination Of Il
Judge bears 10 relation 10 that Of con
gresham as has been argued by some.
The nomination of third man for con-
gress in this district wculd be tanta
mount to Il vote for Hatch. ana that to
Il vote to retain the rnle OF solid
South and the rebel l,-igadiers in con-
gress. Anything that viii break a
solid democratic delegation from Mis-
souri, in our next congress will be a
real service 10 the republican party Of
tie nation If by refraining we ac-
com9lis, that end-it is enough, for It
will strengthen our friends, while ii
divides our opponents.
Butwe are opposed to The boss" and
ring slsteff, IN politics. and while we
NAV respect our present incumbent
on tie judicial bench as genial

there is something peculiar in the ef-

Mere Home Rule.


"If the federal government invades
the state with Its schools the whites
will burn the school houses" This is
a threat published by the Meridian,
(NIiss.) Mercury, staunch democrat
ic newspaper, and IS very plain def
milton Of what one wing OF the democ-
racy mean by home rule. The prac-
teal Illustrations of home rule OF this
kind have been abundant in all the
southern states for the last fifty years
Nearly every mail from The south
brings tid'ngs Of new evidences OF
their zeal for home rule. Ihe NJ. E.
church have had their college twice
burned within two years at Harrison,
Boone county, Ark. Schools planted
by northern philantllropists, and the
free public school proposed by the na-
tional bureau of education are mimi
cal to southern sectionaiism, and SO
these haters OF light and liberty are de-
termined to convert them into monu-
mental ash heaps.
What an extreme Of barbarism is
reached when people prefer ashes
and cinders to school houses. What 4
wretched condition OF society, and how
darkly corrupt the political system that
SO fears and hates the light of free dis
cusslon and the school, Men love
darkness rather than light because
their deeds are evil.
The institutions Of learning estab-
lished and maintained in the north by
the very parties SO hated in the south
are our chief glory; and the men
and women teaching in them
are our purest and best citizens. But
let them go south to do the same work
and they are ostrac!sed,. cursed, SLAM
dered and murdered. SAYS the Allan
ia (Ga.) Advocate. Not ten days
ago the president of Clark university, a
Christian gentleman and one Ct the
most learned men and able educators
in the state, was openly cursed in pub.
lie by man in high standing in his
and informed that he
ought TO be fifteen miles in HI rather
than here founding university" We
do not call up these hateful things to
embitter section against section, but
to show our readers that the spirit and
dogma, of the so-called confederacy
are rampant in the south. To show
that the heresy OF "State rights
which led to secession is being put
forth again in the new phrase-home
rule. And that the old slave holding
democracy of the south are making a
cats paw Of their allies in the north to
pull their chestnuts out Of the fire.
Southern democrats care nothing for |
he Union and the nation unless they
,an rebuild it on the foundation and
olan OF their ideal coniederacy with !
he wealth in the hands of an aristoc-
,acy which shall virtually own and
lomineer all laborers. 1t is not pleas
mt to believe much less to write these
hings OF any portion of the people Of
his great country. But until they
ease their reasonable utterances and
,ase course toward American citizens
sho differ with them, We shall feel call
d upon to expose their political fol- .
