If the editor Of the Gazette will give
categorical answers to few plain ques-
tions he will oblige ali anxious public:
1. Did you not call upon Mr.. j. II.
Milligan of Pultney township, urge him
to become candidate for Sheriff, prom
ising him your influence, then advise
delegates against his nomination, and
assist in defeating him in convention.
II. Did you not encourage Mr.. Lewis
G. Wright in his candidacy for Recorder
assure him of your support, and even go
30 far as to permit correspondents Of
your paper to abuse and "bullyrag'
Judge Okey for judicial act, in hope
that sympathy would be created for Mr..
Wright, and then turn around and con-
spire to defeat him in convention?
III. Did not you and the claquers of
the men who were nominated. caucus in
the Treasurer's Office the night before
the convention and arrange for the
slaughter of the innocents," and was
not the programme executed splendidly
the next day.
". Would it not be as well hereafter
TO do away with conventions and let you
and the select few that act with you
nominate the ticketp 1t seems useless
to have so many men travel up here on
fruitless errands.
If the editor will keep his temper long
enough to answer these civil questions,
we may have other conundrumS to
propose.

UNEONTOWN.

QUITE an excitement prevailed on
Friday about II o'clock, which was
caused by the burning of dTy-houSe on
the premises of Mr.. Josiah Snedeker, a
short distance north of town. When
discovered, the fire had made such pro-
gress that there was no hope of eXtin-
gushing it, and all that could be done
was to prevent it spreading and igni-
ting the valuable dwelling house, and
other farm buildings. The alarm was
conveyed TO town by Mr.John Price, who
hearing the cry of fire, hastened to pro-
cure assistance. Mr.. Lemuel Nichols
Was first to arrive and assisted Mr..
Snedeker with the ladders, but it was
then too late to save the burning build
ing. The roofs of the adjoining build
inffS were saturated with water, and the
danger was soon averted. The heat was
intense, but the wind blowing from, in
stead Of toward the house, was favora-
BILE. and no damage was done except the
loss of the dry house and a small portion
of fence. The loss will amount to about
$50. Mr.. Snedeker had large crop of
peaches which he had expected to pre-
serve by drying, but after the fire we are
told, offered them for sale at 80 cents a
bushel. His neighbors are sorry that
he has sustained the loss.
DURING the storm on Saturday eve
ming, the dwelling house of Mr.. Joseph
Bell was struck by lightning, but no
one was injured, and as far as we can
learn, the damage to property was slight.
We are informed that the lightning de-
scended the kitchen chimney, and tossed
portions or the stove and cooking uten-
sils around at lively rate. There were
also several trees struck in this vicinity
QUITE large number were in attend
anee at the sale advertised by the ad-
ministrators of the estate of Balaam
Nichols, and which took place on We'd
nesday of last week. Among the num-
Der was T. w. Emerson, ESQ.,, our candi-
date for Clerk of the Courts, who was
looking up his friends. There is moth
ing in the appearance or address of Mr..

honest voters, and we feel assured that
he will receive the full vote of his own
party, and perhaps bonus of q few
electoral votes from the other side.

Murder of a Belmont County
Man, near Fort smith, Ark.

Mr.. w. S. Riggs, who formerly opera
tad the Touring mill at East Richland,
was killed in an alteration with his
partner, near Fort Smith, Arkansas, in
the latter part of July. Tie Fort Smith
Independent of August IL, which has
just reached US, contains an account of
the killing and of the causes which led
to it.
1t appears that Riggs had taken an in
terest in mill at Fort Smith with one
Frye. SO long as the business prosper
ed they got along without any trouble,
but when the dull season struck. the mill
Riggs complained to his wife and friends
about bad treatment at the hands of
Frye. 1t was thought the bad treat
ment was imaginary, but Riggs nnrsed
his wrath, and on one or two occasions
made threats of personal violence. On
the day of the killing they met in the
yard of a neighbor, and in presence of
Mrs. Riggs. Riggs commenced cursing
Frye, while Mrs. Riggs tried to plead
with him, and Frye to reason with him.
Mrs. Riggs took hold his Riggs arm,
and begged him to listen. He flung her
off and attacked Frye. The wife reali-
zing that she could do no more, ran off
for help. Finding no one at the mill,
she started back. Riggs was found
down, and Frye standing short dis
tance Off She heard her husband say
Don't KLINE Frye; I'll forgive you If
you will forgive me-" Frye answered,
az will but you should have thought of
that sooner" Frye then started off, and
Mrs. Riggs helped her husband into the
house. where he fell upon the floor and
died in a few minutes. Just how the
killing was done does not appear. Frye
delivered himself up to the authorities,
and, after hearing, was discharged.

they need the votes of Republicans.
Most of people agree with them.
