Last Friday evening Miss KATE CHASE
sister of Conductor CHASE, and Miss TLLIE
HOFFMAN while going to party saw a huge
rock on the west bound Erie track between
Cameron and Cameron Mil, that had become
loosened from the bank of the deep cut in that
vicinity. They knew that it was nearly time
for the Monitor to pass and that that stone
would cause disastrous wreck. They there
fore went upon the track and rolled the rock
off, and it would not seem possible for them
to do so only by super-human power, as it
weighed between four and FIVE hundred
pounds. They had just cleared the track
when the Monitor came in sight. Supt.
CABLE appreciated their herculanean efforts
and acknowledged the Erie's obligation to
them by placing them on the free list Va

KIND WORDS.-We make no apology for
printing the appended letter received last
evening from one of our most intelligent and
apprecative subscribers. 1t is so seldom
that editors are favored with such compli-

find fault. We tender DR.. HORTON our I'M

done us good. We trust the future of the

EDITORS OF THE DAILY TOWANDA REVIEW: !:

scription. | am pleased with the REVIEW.
1t seems to me that all reading persons in the
county who have daily mails should take it.
] regard it as creditable not only to TOwanda
but also to- the whole county. I had no
thought formerly of everything to see daily
paper in Towanda. 1t certainly is valuable
acquisition to the newspaper fraternity of our
county, and furnishes strong evidence of the
advancing intelligence and higher civilization
of our commanity. [ knew the site of To-
wanda well when it had no meeting house,
no court house, and only IL log Jail several
miles from the then embryo village. How
great the change! Towanda now, with its
half-doZen churches, its Sabbath schools, its
Collegiate Institute, its four or five Weeklies,
and last and best its DAILY REVIEW, stands
foremost among the villages of the northern
tier of counties. May your daily live and
prosper and continue to bring, as it does to
me, daily delight and blessings to thousands
of new subscribers. Hastily yours.

Charles Wolfe and bis select cotesic
of followers -meditated a bolt, but
their candidate Senator Davies
summarily squelched the intention,
if any sucli was entertained, by de-
claring that the nominee of the
convention should have his unquali-
fed support. This settled the mat
ter, and there is no doubt the nomi-
nee will receive the united support
of the party throughout the State,
and his election is thrrs. lore assured.
General Baily, our nominee, is 4
native Of Fayette county, and res
ident of Uniontown. where he is en-
gagged in business. He was a gal
liant soldier of the Pennsylvania Re-
serve Corps, and won his stars on
the battle fields OF the late war.
His capacity and integrity are con-
ceded, and he will rally around his
standard the heroic soldiers of the
State.
The resolutions adopted are wordy,
but sound and strong, and give fit
ting utterance of the devotion of the
party throughout the State to the
PROSTATE President.

He has been a Democratic partisan

transparent fraud. lie is before the

Democratic nominee. and his cleo

THE recent death OF Mrs. Millard
Fillmore recalls a singular incident
connected with her two husbands.
In 1S47, while she was the wife of
Hon. Ezekiel Mcintosh, of Albany,
Mr.. Fillmore was candidate for the
position of State Comptroller of New
York. Some persons who desired
to defeat his election raised about
$4,000 for the purpose and placed
it in the hands of Mr.. Mcintosh, in
structing him TO place it in bank in
his own name and not to make the
matter public He did as desired,
but before the fund could be drawn
out to use for election purposes the
treasurer fell sick and died. Mr..
Fillmore was elected Comptroller,
and many years atterward married
Mrs. Mcintosh, and received, as
part of her dowery, the money that
had been raised to defeat his cleo
ton. The ex-President used 10 en-
JOY telling the story, and often re-
marked that the money was placed
where it would do the most good "
to him.

Honors to General sherman.

WORCESTER, Mass, September =
General William T. Sherman arrived
here from New London, Ct, at !
O'Clock this morning, and went di-
rectly to the residence of Senator
George +. Hoar. without escort.
Later. Il parade was formed, with
the Worcester City Guards, Captain
Shumway; Light Infantry, Captain
Lincoln; Worcester Continentals,
Colonel W. S. L. Hopkins, with
Post No. 10, q. A. r., as guard of
honor, and proceeded to Senator
Hoar's, where General Sherman,
Gov. Long and staff were received
and escorted through the principal
streets to the New England Fair
Grounds, where he was received by
the New England Agricultural Soci-
ETY., by whose invitation he visits
this city. On the way the General
dismounted, to walk through the
ranks of school children, who were
assembled on Court Hill. As he
passed, they appropriately sang,
Marching Through Georgia," and
presented him with bouquets.
While passing Plymouth Church the
chimes played the same air, and at
another point Battery B fired sa-
Lutte of fifteen guns. At the Fair
Grounds General Sherman was re-
ceived by the officers of the society,
and was then presented to Governor
Long as the guest of the common
wealth, as well as the New England
Society and the city of Worcester.
Governor Long, in a few brief and
well-chosen remarks, presented him
to the people, who were massed

mous numbers.

Notions of the First Settlers.

Mr.. w. II. IL. Amidon, one of the
first settlers in the town of Gilman
town, Wis, and one of the most in
dustrious and hard working men in
the country, has been very severely
troubled with rheumatic pains dur
ing the past few years, SO much at
times, that he was disabled from
performing manuel labor. Learn
ing of the wonderful cures effected
by the use of st. Jacobs Oil he pro-
cured a few bottles and experienced
immediate relief. Many other OF
our acquaintance have used it and
express themselves as highly graft
fled, with the relief it has afforded
them. This king of medicines can

\ Maryland Town in Flames.

CUMBERLAND, September 1.-Lo-
naconing, in the heart of Georges
Creek coal region, which has Il pop
ulation of nearly five thousand peO-
pie. had almost its whole business
portion destroyed by fire to-day.
The fire broke out about noon in q
stable back of B. T. Tulley's store,
and extended to both sides Of Main
street, part of Douglass avenue and
jackson street, running about two
or three squares from Castle Run to
the depot of the Cumberland, and
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
About forty buildings were destroy
ed. only one being of brick, that of
d. r. Sloan & Co. Among the 9th
er most prominent stores were Ed
wards & Co., Joseph Myers, Vim.
Atkinson, three hotels-Merchants, s,
Brady's and Dixon's-the town hall,
postoffice, Lutheran church and
about fifteen private dwellings. The
estimated loss is about 100000 !;
insurance about s50,000. \. r.

city, Frostburg and Westernport
were present, but owing 10 scarcity
of water-George's Creek, which
runs through the town, being al
most dry-could do but little SER
vice. The town now looks desolate,
and the disaster is greater than any
that has ever happened there. All
the miners around the town quit
work, and every effort was made to
subdue the flames. Furniture was
piled up in the middle of thes estreets,
and women and children were run
ming about almost frightened to
death. One old man from Frost
burg fell from the train and had his
arm cut off. The Cumberland fireman
returned home about seven this
evening with their steam engines
and other apparatus.

THAT crack-brained little dema-
gogue, Charles S. Wolfe, of Union
county, has announced himself as an
Independent Republican candidate
for State Treasurer.
Wolfe is man OF considerable
ability, but the great Il am so
thoroughly pervades his entire make
up, and so completely controls his
actions, that his mental ballast
counts for nothing. he is a chronic
kicker, who, under the cloak of re-
form, is struggling for personal con-
troll of the party; a would-be "boss !"
laboring TO fret the sore-heads and
intimidate the weak and gullible by
fierce diatribes against imaginary
"bosses :" demas9gue in the
short row" who hopes to "get up
head" by topping over those who
are in front of him. The arrogance,
self-conceit and waywardness of the
man is clearly shown by the an
nouncement ofhimself as a candidate,
without previously consulting with
a single friend or admirer.
The pretext of being a candidate
for the sake of " Reform" and in the
name and in the interests of the
people, is a broader farce than was
the proclamation of the three tailors
of Tooley street, who modestly head
ed their manifesto, :" We, the people
Of England
For his ill-advised course Mr..
Wolfe has no excuse in the action of
the late State Convention. Its ses-
sion was harmonious. its nominee
was clearly shown to be the choice
of two-thirds of the delegates repre-
senting the party of the State, and
his nomination was unanimously
endorsed by the convention, and by
none more heartily than by the
leading friends of the losing candi-
date, whose wrongs SO infan.e the
soul of Mr.. Wolfe.
His candidacy will, however, af-
ford the irreconcilable Independents
of the State, whose mottoe is "rule
or ruin" an opportunity to stand up
and be counted, and while it may
slightly diminish General Baily's
majority, cannot en'langer his elec-
ton.

The Presidential Journey.

New York Herald, September.
1t may be safely said that no man
in this country ever before made a
journey like this. Our great men
have been carried in ceremonial
pomp from one city to another on
the way to some final resting place ;
and distinguished soldiers or states
men, the popular favorites, have in
their iourneyings found whole popu-
lations, inspired by admiration and
curiosity, welcoming them on their
way. But a stricken man carried
across the country on a bed of suf-
fering, while the whole nation stands
in suspense to hear the result, is a
new sight. In all the demonstra-
tions of sympathy that the Nation
has shown for this large-hearted man
from the first day he was hurt there
has been many touching and nota-
bic spectacle, but nothing to equal
what was seen yesterday, where the
crowds in Washington stood bare
headed as the object OF so much
sympathy was borne by; where the
country people flocked to points at
which the train must pass to accord
the same need of mute and touching
respect, and where in every part of
the land there was no theme touch
ed upon in common conversation
save such as related to this Journey
and the hope men had of it.

In is now admitted that the Presi-
dent was diving by inches F" at the
White House, and as dernier re-
sort il was determined 10 remove
him TO the seaside at Long Branch.
He himself was impatient to get
away, and il was decided to take the
last chance. Accordingly, on Tues
day last, at an early hour, he was
placed aboard railroad ear and the
Journey commenced. The trip was
made in safety at the rate of fifty
miles per hour, while the country
with bowed heads were ferrently
praying that his life might be
spared. The trip was a hazardous
one from medical stand point, and
was the last chance. Happily, it
eyentuated well, and the bulletins
from his cottage by the sea assure us
that he is perceptibly gaining in
strength, and his physicians now
hope for the best.
