J. H. Lambert, writing to the Times
from Harrisburg during the Republican

THE platform of the Republican state
convention is a most remarkable literary
composition and political deliverance.
Senator Thomas V. Cooper and Edward
MACPHERSON, esq.,. are credited with its
several authorship. That it was not a
Joint production is painfully manifest,
and We must insist that its authors have
done discreLit to their profession of
Journalism III their attempt to declare
Republican principles. There is the
slushiest sort of mixture of sympathy
with the presidents afflictioa and ap-
proval of his administration-twOm mat
tiers that should have been treated of in
separate pianks, and upon which there
might at least have heen some distinct
utterances it any opinion WAS intended
to be expressed about them. The high
sounding Reform pretenSiOns of the
platform are, it will he seen, en-
tirely vague and general. Upon
no one of the living questions
of state policy has it anything to say.
The pilfering in the departments, the
abuses of the state treasury, the aggres-
sive power of corporations, the legisla-
tive wrongs of the suffering people, the
raids upon the public funds, the pardon
of convicted lobbyists, and subjects of
like import, get no attention in the plat
form OF Mr.. Quay's convention for Mr..
COoWr's campaign.

In the death of Sidney Lanier, Amer.
ican literature loses one of its most
scholarly, original and promising young
poets. His compositions were unique
and musical, and often unappreciated
and misunderstood. But they have fixed
lodgmcnt in the literary development of
the age, and such productions as his
Corn" the weird cantata written for
the centennial, and the exquisite 8: Bal.
lad OF the Trees" will live in our litera-
ture. He had much of the elusive
quality" of the poet, which only those
who measure poetry like tape deny to be
a genuine poetic quality.

In the opinion of the Times the resolu-
tions adopted at Harrisburg yesterday are
among the most wonderful productions of
their kind that have been presented to an
admiring public in long time. 1t appears

would not have been generally suspected,
that the One-absorbing purpose Of Quay,

The Crops, ana Other Local News.
The wheat crop in this section was bet
ter than last year. On account Of the
long drOuth the corn is not much more
than half crop. Oats were good. The
crop of early Potatoes was good, but the
late potatoes arc nothing to boast of.
Garden vegetables arc scarce. All you
can notice in the garden are tomatoes and
few worm eaten cabbage heads. Fruit
is also scarce. There are some apples and
few peaches. DR.. +. Il. Herr has the
largest crop of peaches in this vicinity.
He may realize 800 from his crop.
The farmers in this vicinity are SO ac-
custOmcd to raise large tobacco that they
do not think of boasting when they have
an extra crop. The tobacco in this neigh
bOrhOOd is good. If it was not so the
buyers would not pay 40, Is and ) for 3
acre lots, and still offer from 30 to 35
cents for wrappers. A certain man walked
into three acre patch, and did not hunt
long. until he foand leaf 4G inches in
length. The most Of the tobacco was set
out very early. Hence the good crop. Ger
tainly there is some small tobacco, that
was set out late, and the continued dry
weather kept it from growing large.
They have sampled the tobacco at the
warehouse Of John Steigelman, Mason
vile. and found it to be in excellent con-
ditiOn.
Messrs. d. o. Wissler & Hershey, to-
bacco dealers, went West this week on
business.
A steer owned by D, o. Wissler was
running at large on the c. & P. d. rail-
road, near Turkey Hill. The consequence
was that he was thrown into the river and
instantly killed.
A valuable Alderney COW owned by F.
B. Frey, for which he paid 800. has died.

THE Philadelphia Press is displeased
because the New York Democratic state
committee, in deprecating the assault by
force upon the dignity Of the presidency,
recalled the assault by fraud four years
ago. We can appreciate the feelings of
Republicans at seeing the ghost of muir
dered Banquo, but we cannot under
stand by what reasoning the Ameri-
can public can be expected to forget the
assault of the return-tinker and yet keep
vividly in mind the desperate deviltry
of the assassin.

Wolves and Wild EOrses

Ii ls said that whenever several Of the larger
wolves associate together for mischief, in the
German forests and their neighborhood, there
is always a numerous train of smaller ones to
follow in the rear. and act as auxiliaries 10 the
work of destruction. Two large wolves are
sufficient to destroy the most powerful horse,
srd seldom more than two ever begin the as
sault, slthough there may be sc)re 10 the
garg. Ii Is no les, curious than amusing to
witness this ingenious mode of attack. If there
is no snow. or but little on the ground, two
wolves approach 10 the most playful and csress
ing manner, lying, rel ing and friskiDg about,
until the too credulous and unsupported victim
is completely put off bis guard by curiosity and
familiarity. During this time the gang.
tquatted cn their headquarters, look 90 at q
ulstauos. After some time spent 10 this wy,
the Two sssailsnts separate, when one apa
prcaohes the horses head, and the other bis
tail. with shyness and cunoing peculiar to
themselves. Al this stage of attack their
frolicsome approaches become very interesting
Ill Is right guod ealne,ti tho former is q mere
decoy. the latter is the real ssssil8nt and keeps
his eye steadily fxed on the ham string or flank
OF the horse. The critical moment ia then
watched, and the attack is Simultaneous; both
wolves spring at their victim at the same mo-
ment-one to the throat the other to the flank
and, ifsuccessul, which they generally are, the
hind one never lets 60 his hold till the horse is
completely disabled. Instead of springin9 for
| ward or kicking to diaengsge himself, the horse
| turns roubd and rouud without attempting 8
defence Tho wolf before then springs behind
| 10 assist the other, The sinews are cut aud in
half the time l have been describing 1t the horse
| is on his side; his struggles are fruisless--,he
victory is won. at this signal the lookers-on
close 10 ia galop; but the ,ll fry OF followers
keep at respectable distance until their superb
ors are gorged, and then they take their turn un.
molested.
