Mr.. ANTHONY Is not only one OF, the most

Mace IN the Capitol and justified that iea-

The pretcnce that General MALONE
thought It mbccoming in the Democrats to
elect the president pro tenn. is not worth a
refutation. The courtly PENDLyToN made
the motion to elect Democrat, and all the
chiyalrous sons Of the South except General
MALONE voted for It. Where WADE HAMP-

because Of doubtful propriety.

Especial Correspondence OF the Gazettel
HARRisoHBURG, October 7.--Thc canvass la be-
did vigor IN this great Valley. The white Demo
cratic yeoinanry in Rockingham Indignantly
spnrn the attempt to trade Oh their votes for the
benefit OF tie ofecocckers of the Radical coalition
combination. The mass Of the substantial farm
eIs NJ every vOting-piacc are aroused and fun Of
zeal for The Daniel ncEet and the county viii give
u decided majority for the State aud county Demo
cratic nominees. This Judgment is based upon In
formation carefully collected from every section
llgcnt sources. Every day strengthens the Demo-
cratic cause, aud the only uncertain feature is to
the magnitude of The majority.
IN the uetghbor.ng county Of Alhcmaric, east of
the Blne Ridge the probabilities arc the Coalition
lists will he beaten. Never were the Democracy OF
the home aud bnTial-placc Of Thomas Jefferson
more ,1 eisnseo, hopciul, ana c9nnae1t than now
lar, and heightened candidates, and hope 10 beat
The enemy, "horSc, foot, and drssgoon." Coalition
begins TO show that " will Not work well amongst
the white Democrats IN old Virginia.
In addition to the sections alluded TO by
the correspondent of the Gazette, ii may
not be out OF place TO refer to other locali-
ties in the Valley of the Shenandoah. In
Warren county Mr.. Lewis Frederick,
nominee of the Coalitionists, will get about
40 votes out OF the 1000 or 200 that will
be polled. That gallant little county, one
of the very best and most independent in
the whole Valley can give 1000 votes.
Ought she moi to strain herself little, and
in this exigcncy and crisis in the fortunes
OF the grand old State, do her "level best -
for the Democratic ticket. Captain A. NJ.
Earle, the Democratic nominee for the
Legislature, will be elected, OF course, by
a sweeping majority.
Your correspondent need not tell YOU
how the untcrrifed Democracy OF Augusta
county, who now hold the post OF honor In
the upper end OF The Valley, and win lead
the column In the coming conflict, are ener-
getically organizing ard drilling for the
/ final struggle. Their nominations for the
Sepate and lower branch OF the Legislature
are superb and win be ratified at the polls.
whilst the majority for Daniel. Barbour.
and Mckinney will, 1t is confidently be-
lieyed, largely transcend the majority given
by the true Democracy for Hancock and
English In the last election. The Demo-
Gratis OF Augusta are no halfway, uncertain
men, and may always be relied on In q fight
for principle.
The friends and readers OF the Dispatch
are gratiiied 10 see that It's aYmor has been
renewed aud its uniform frightened.
Apart from the evidence OF success and
prosperity indicated In its new and attrac-
i've suit OF beautiful type, It's readers are
pleased TO know that Il win now be able to
render stu more efficient service in the
cause Of the people.

Not the Thief.

College students have considerable bl anne to bear (too often ,deservedly) in connection wlth aNdsfed fruit or- chards. One unlucky fellow had to bear the blame of 8 classmates offerings, and no doubt he thought it rather hard. The Bo,Odoi,a College Orient tells the story:
 C. roomed on the southwest cor ner of Maine Hall, and had very sunny place. Gray, who was just across the entry, came in one day with @ lot of pears, not quite ripe, and asked to leave hem in C--'s windows to ripen.
 A few nor nings after Professor Pack ard called on C.. After @ while the old gentleman walked up to the window and began to examine the fruit.
 "Very fine pears," he said. "Its a variety very rare about here, too"
 "They look tirst-rate, "C-- an swered, " though I've not tasted them yet"
 "You'n find them very good, l assure you," Father Packard observed blandly as he moved towards the door, livery good indeed. took great pains witl graft. Good-day !" And poor C. never had 8 chance to explain that ht was not the man that purloined them.

An Afflicted Family.

Among the hills of Pennsylvania, op- posite Frenchtown, N. J., there lives a family afflicted with rictus. Husband, wife, sons and daughter and grandchil- dren are all afflicted with this strange disease. The father had the first attack about ten years ago. and 1t rapidly spread among the mbers of the fam . fly until about eight years ago every member was affected. At first it caused serious trouble, but as the disease be- came better known nobody noticed 1t. The years of incessant laughter have told somewhat on the faces of the fam ily, but not so as to be very noticeable. There are scores of lines under the eyes | and above the cheeks caused by the drawing up of the skin. Then theil mouths have become wider and they keep them closed with difficulty. The most marked result of the disease, how ever, is in the voice. The entire family talk in the same tone, resembling as nearly as anything the voice of an alto | SlQQ0f. Mut6S buu 1Su1ulSo u"NO 'AA> same infection and intonation. Mos of them have more or less trouble witt their eyes, several having become near sighted. The pupils have contracted and the entire eyeball is diminished il size. This is accounted for by the con traction of the eyes while laughing ane the effort required in working or read ing while undergoing an attack. Very little physical annoyance is caused th' laughers. They read and write, sleel and work without any trouble. Int only thing they seem unable to do whil' attacked is to eat, and that can be read fly understood. In all but one ins tan e the grandchildren were taken soon afte birth with stated attacks at the sam hours as their parents. Of course the. do not laugh as the older ones do, bu they crow and express all the signs o baby glee twice day and never CT. while in that state.
