sitting in the parlor and felt the shock
quite sensibly and Mrs. Dobson had

the plaster was knocked off the din

six feet distant from where tho plas-

shock and felt the effects of it in her

bolt was seen to strike the house by
Mira. Mulock and her daughter whose
residence Is only about twenty feet
distant. Mrs. Mulock at once rushed
to the assistance of her neighbors

TO-DAY.

To-day, Feb. 9Th, the thiid and final
act in making President of the Uni
ted States is to be performed. First,
was the act Of the people, in November.
in choosing the Presidential Electors.
Second, was the meeting ofthose Elec-
tors, In their several States In Decem-
ber, and sending their votes to the
Vice President of the United States.
And now, third, is the time for counting
and declaring the result at Washington.
We do not look for any trouble. In
fact the Democrats in Congress have
given assurance there will be no OBJ
struction thrown in the way of declar-
ing Gen. Garfield the lawfully elected
President. Four years ago it was
quite different, and the Electoral Com
mission had to be created, owing to the
fact that double sets of returns of Elec-
tors had been sent from some of the
Southern States. The great question
then was, how should these double re-
turns be treated? Who should decide
between them, the Vice President or
Congress? The constitution ia not clear
and Congress has passed no new law
on the subject. However, the matter
is to be bridged over for the present oc-
casion and before another President is
chosen definite law will doubtless be
enacted.

HOW 1T IS DONE.
Speech Of Hon. Charles 8. Wolfe.

The following address Of Represen.
tative Wolfe, delivered at Lebanon, on
Jan. 18th, on the Court House steps, to
a meeting assembled for the purpose OF
expressing their indignation at the trea-
son of our alleged representatives in
the Legislature, tells how the innocents
who are sent to Harrisburg to repre-
sent the people sell their birthright for
mess of pottage:
81 have not come here to say any,
thing disrespectful of your aoorthy
Senator, for he is an honorable man.
So are we all, Qaughter) all honorable
men (Laughter) We have heard
that you had instructed them down
here at the time of the election that it
was your royal will that they should
vote and use all honorable means for
the election of the Hon. Galusha A.
Grow to the United States Senate.
But when they cane up to Harrisburg
they seem to have forgotten just what
the instructions were, and they lost
their bearings.
"Now, my fellow citizens, / wish
that l might have you within the four
walls Of o house, where could speak
