The FoUrth.-rhe 9Th of July issi passed
off quietly and pleasantly in Clearleld. The
stores and all places Of business were closed
and no demonstration was made outside of the
Festival of Larimcr Post, G, 4. r., in the park
which was enjoyed by all Nho attended, and
the success Of the Festival was gratifying to
the managers OF the affair During the after
noon aud evening the receipts footed up at
S2354l, netting the Post in the neiphborhood
of Sis5 This is splendid days work. The
grounds were onamented with flags and sew
eral army tents, which, with the uniforms of
the members Of the Post and the martial
music, gave II the appearance of true army
life The weather, although warm, was quite
favorable in other respects. The brief shower
at noon did not even lay the dust, and conse-
quenily did not interfere materially with the
celebration. Col Walter Barnett and Rev. II.
$. Butler delivered addresses at noon from the
stand erected AZ the north end of the park.
The fantastic parade on horseback along our
streets in the afternoon was one of the features
of the day in which twenty-five or thirty boys
participated.

Sudden DEATH. Enoch Mathew, an old resi-
dent of Goshen township, died suddenly on
Monday June 27th, 1881, aged about 81
years, He was well-known to every up-riycr
and Cleariield creek raftman, to whom he had
for years furnished the "substantials' for
pushing IN oar. Although sometimes short
grained' and apparently rude, he never meant
it. lie left his home apparently in the en-
ioyment Of good health, on an errand to his
neighbor, Mr.. Livergood, on the day indicated,
and, after passing in at the gate, he fell to the
ground. His presence was witnessed by the
family who went to his relief but he died
before he could be removed to the house.
His campaign on this Continent is over and
he is no doubt with "old Enoch, who pre-
ceded him years ago. Every West Branch
raftman when he passes Nlayhew's landing
next Spring will think of him, IL they do
not drop a tear to his memory.

Talmage on the Pistol.

Talmage has said many good
things, but none more applicable to
an existing evil than the following /:
Another practical use of this great
national calamity is that it has dis
gusted more than ever people with
this free use of firearms. On the
frontier, or if it is your business as
an officer of the law to make the
arrest of desperate, you had better
be armed but it is high time that
all respectable citizens snap
in two their sword canes
and unload their deadly
weapons. If you move in respecta-
BILE society in Brooklyn, or New
York, or Washington, or London,
you have no need of any more weap-
ons than the two God gave you
two honest fists, and they are easily
loaded. If you feel the need OF
having a pistol in your pocket you
are miserable coward. If you are
afraid to go down the street un>
armed, you had better get your
grandmother with her knitting
needles to go with you. A pistol is
the meanest and most internal weap
on ever invented It is the weapon

STATISTICS AND EDUCATION.

The Bureau of Education at Wash
ington has compiled a number of
valuable reports on statistics and ed
ucation. These reports are pre-
pared with great care and cover the
whole field of education from the
public school to the university.
The school question in the South
for years to come must of necessity
demand more or less public attention.
The people will need information on
the subject whenever the States un-
dertake to project new school sys-
TENS, or to improve the existing
systems. The Legislator who leads
public opinion in the school legislation
will need the experience of those
who have made the subject a life
long study. He will want to know
what has been done in this and other
countries. When and how to find
such information is sometimes a
difficult question
The object of the Bureau of Edu-
cation is to collect, publish and dis
seminate such information as can be
made valuable in establishing and
building up school systems. The
college president, as well as the
teacher of the district school, will
find it a profitable book of reference.
The legislator, as well as the the
district director, can rely upon the
statistical tables as being the
most complete that have hitherto
been published. The report of 1879,
which comes down to the year 1880,
is now being sent out to such parties
as desire it, or take an interest in ed.
ucational progress.
Universities, colleges, high schools,
academies, normal schools, teachers
institutes and public schools are pre-
scented in such light as to give the
reader a good knowledge of what is
being done. Reformatory education
and technical schools have not been
overlooked. In fact, nothing has
been omitted Such resume of sta
tistics, facts and information can no.
where be found in educational liter
allure.
Whoever studies these reports viii
see, at a glance, that the Soutl
specially needs encouragement il
her educational enterprises. Annie
all the difficult es, great progress ha
been made. General Eaton, com
missioner of education, holds up il
his report great mirror, as it were
from which we can see the educa
tional condition of the country trul,
and faithfully reflected. Go look il
the report and see for yourself.

GUS abuse of the late late President
Garfield. He was nominated for no
other reason than that it was be-
lieved he would contribute literally
from his ample fortune to the cam
paign fund. The people of Ohio
want man of brains and characte,
and experience as their chief magis-
trate. In defeating Bookwalter they
have given a valuable lesion to that
class of politicians who buy theil
way into public position.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER is, 1881.
A VERY RIDICULOUS SPEECH.

Hon. Erastus Brooks, upon taking
the chair yesterday as permanent
chairman of the Democratic conven
ton at Albany, called attention to
the fact that in the last national
election the "national standard
bearer" of the Democratic party
had received some til ousands votes
in excess of the inaug urated Presi-
dent. These are not the facts as we
understand them. The most relia-
bic authority shows that Garfield
had popular majority of a few
thousand over Hancock. But
suppose it were true, as Mr..
Brooks states, what of it? Does
he pretend to cast doubt upon
the legality of the election? If there
IS any point at all in what he says,
that is It's meaning, and yet he knows
very well that no question was ever
made as to the validity of the cleo
ton, from any source. Then what
was his object in referring to it as he
did? We can conceive of only sin
gle reasonable explanation, and that
is not creditable at all to man of
high standing and character, such as
MIR. Brooks is recognized to be. It
was low appeal to prejudice, born
OF debased ignorance, worthy only of
an unmitigated domagogue. It was
intended to cast doubt over the
legality of Garfelds election, in the
minds of the ignorant men of
his own party, and to arouse their
preJudices and thereby increase
their ardor in the present and future
campaigns. We know nothing of
the personal habits of the distin-
guished gentleman, but it would be
charitable to suppose that he was
laboring under the influence of al
coholic stimulants when he made the
remarks attributed to him.
Aud in the same connection, b,
joins IN the old familiar refrain O
the disappointed Democracy abou
the Great Defeated, of 1876. Thi
they will never cease to harp upo
perhaps. The Democratic party
and especially that portion of it wit
which Mr.. Brooks is Immediate
surrounded, has been convicted {
SO much fraud and rascality, that
is pleasant for them to conten
plate fraud in other quarter
On the principle that ''miser
loves company" they look upo
fraud with sort of frantic pleasur
and they seize hold of all sorts {
fiimsy pretexts to charge it upo
others. No one can cry stop thief
with so much vehemence as he WI
has the stolen lgoods in his posse
sion. And as it has become so
of second nature for Democrats |
howl and weep over the allege
fraud of 1876, we will not compla
at Mr.. Brooks. After the display
makes of himself in connection Wi
the election of 1880, it makes We
little difference what he says abo
any other.
To any one at all familiar with Il
history of the Democratic party
the matter of elections, the remarl
of Mr.. Brooks must be very. amusin

The defeat of Bookwalter in Ohio
is fitting rebuke of a mean spirit
which has been gradually creeping
into politics. Every one who knows
anything about it, knows that Book
walter has no qualifications fitting
him for the Office of Governor of q
great State like Ohio. Nor had he
a record that should commend him
to the confidence of Ohio Demo-
Gratis. He has had no experience in
public affairs, and until recently has
not been a Democrat. About the
only evidence of his allegiance to the
Democratic party, is the publication
of a letter which he wrote about 9
year ago, in which he said he had
never voted the Democratic ticket, and
in which he INDUCED in low, scu,ril-

JUDGE DAVID DAVIS, the big Sena-
tor from Illinois, occupies an import
ant position in the government now.
1t may be said that it is a command
ing position. He holds the balance
of power between the two parties.
He sits astride the fence and looks
down on both. The Democrats on
one side go into caucus and decide
to do so and so. But just there the
question arises "What will our Uncle
David doc" and straightway he is
consulted. If he says yes, it is all
right; if he says no, then there is a
halt and something else must
be done. And so with the
Republicans. In order to sues
coed, they must have the
support of the man on the fence.
Ii he gets off ON the Democratic
side, his weight just balances the 9th
er side, and the Democrats go up like
a kite. He goes into caucus by
himself and his caucus is as power,
full in determining questions as either
of the others, and when he gets
down with either of the others
the only difference is, il
he gets with the Republicans
it gives them a majority-ant
in this case we might say a larg
majority-while if he gets off OF
the Democratic side, it makes tie

Wallace and James Goodloe went turkey hunt.
ing In the vicinity of Newport, and separated
to meet at a given point. Wallace arrived
frat, and mistaklng Goodloo who wore "A red
neck tie, and was making his way through

ball entering his throat and resulting fatally,
Goodloe was prominent merchant and q ma
orator.
Also another special says, Henry Dawson, a
negro, was hanged at Dtsark, Arkansas, to-.
day for the murder Of his wife In the autumn
OF 1870. The execution was witnessed by sew.
erai thousand people. Religious exercises
were held, lasting half an hour. Upon the
conclusion OF this, an address was made by
Dawson, admitting his guilt and urging his
listeners to meet him In heaven. The cap was
then drawn, the rope adjusted, and Tho trap
sprung; culprlt falling fifteen feet. He died
without u struggle, his neck being broken. No
sympathywas manifested, public sentiment
agreeing that he richly deserved his fate
