The eagerness with which the Commercial
man takes up the cudgels in defense of i'm
aginary foul, vile attacks made upon the
County Commissioners by the HERALD, is rs
amusing as its unparalleled insolence and
ego,ism is disgusting. Hesays; "Thesegentlc
men (the Mercantile Appraisers travel all
over the county and circulate freely among
the people, thus having every opportunity to
know which of the county papers are most
eagerly sought after and extensively read /;
and therefore according to the spirit, as well
as the mere letter of the law. accord the
printing of the list to the Commercial, the
journal to whom it properly belongs
To make the above complete he should
have sdded, the women sigh forit, the Child
ren cry for it, and the men die for it. Isn't
it just little strange that if the Commercial
is so eagerly sought after and extensively
read" that it does not circulate more largely
and why is it that when any ofits Somerset
editors write an article that they imagine to
be particularly strong, they are forced to
have extra copies sent them that they may
send to their friends who are subscribers Of
the HERALD and not of the Commercial. A
little over year ago, gentleman OF this
town remarked to US. This fight has not
been void Of expense to US, for you know
the HKRALp's subscription list is treble and
probably four times as large as the Conaaer-
ciaFs and it costs US not a little for extra
copies in order to duplicate the HERALD's
list as near as possible"
The "eagerness'' with which the one Com.
DserciI that goes to Brine postoffice, Stony
creek township, is sought after and exten-
sively read" must be beautiful to behold, and
at Davidsville, where q couple fits copies
Extensively" circulate, the 'eagerness" with
which they are seized upon, by the whole
of Concmaugh township, must be truly sub
lime.
The idea of the. C5mmrcial claiming as a
right the patronage of Republican officials
is most ludicrous. But little over a year
since, it belonged to the neuter gender and
had no political principles visible TO the
public eye, and Since It has hoisted the Re
publican flag it has been constant disor-
ganizer and the mouth piece of all those
who wished to strike at the integrity Of the
party. During the late war the guerillas
often used the Union flag to cover their de-
signs on the Union army and it is very appar-
ent that the Commercial is using the Repub-
lican flas 20 cover its assaults upon the or
ganization of the party which it processes to
support.

When a child begins to read it becomes
delighted with newspaper because it reads
Of names and things which are familiar, and
it will progress accordingly. A newspaper,
in one year, is worth quarters schooling
to a child. Every father must consider that
information is connected with advancement.
The mother of the family, being one of its
heads, and having more immediate charge
of the children, should herself be instruct
ed. A mind occupied becomes fortified
against the ills of life, and is braced for any
emergency. Children amused by reading or
study, are Of course more eousiderate and
more easily managed.

EnrToR HERALD: The concluding para.
graph of an editorial on The Collectoship,' y
in last weeks Meyersdale Commercial, demands
passing notice Says that sheet, ~. G OyIe,
the applicant, is young man of more than
average ability as lawyer, of uncxceptiona-
BILE character as man, capable, and Repub-
lican of the highest type" A Republican Of
the highest type, is what takes the rag Oh
the bush. II is well known that Mr.. Ogle
has been twice rejected by the Republicans
of the county, once for District Attorney
and once for the Office Of Prothonotary.
The last time be became rampant, and, not
withstanding his highest type Of Republi-
canism," vowed vengeance to the party and
became a Greenbacker, acting - secretary
at their first public meeting held in Somcr-
set. For the purpose of ofascertaining who were
ready and willing to betray the Republican
party on the eve of an important election, BY
opposing the usages of the same and tramp
ling upon them. lists were made in every ssc-
ton of the county and sent to Somerset This
same J. G. Ogle, this highest type of Re-
publicanism," was designated as the custo-
dian of these infamous lists, whereby the
extent of treason within the party was to be
reckoned. No one of the leading Green
hackers and soreheads at that time question
ed, for moment, his fitness for the iniqui-
tous work His boss, Gen. Vim. H. Koortz,
no doubt had him in training already at
that early day for the Collectorship," in
stilling into him the spirit Of this highest
type of Rcpublicanism," whereby one be-
comes fearless in the exercise of his honea
opinions, and acts from a sincere conviction
of duty"
In this way we may also account for the
Generals own treachery to the party in
withholding Mr.. Ogle's name at the public |
meeting held in the Court House. The mo-
ment Mr. Ogle refused to abide by the de- |
cision of the party as expressed at the pri- |
mary election, he became an enemy to the |
party, and his public exposure as such was
demanded. No one knew this |
better than Gen. Koontz, and subsequent |
events have removed all doubt in regard to |
the motives which prompted him TO act
false to the party, by shielding an avowed
enemy. Is this the representative Of that
element in the Republican party which is
opposed to those methods by which Repub-
icanism in this state has been brought into
public contempt ?" His record is proof pos
tive that he stands opposed 10 the primary
election, an election by the hepeople, for which
The editor of the Commercial affects so much
reverence. Much of the corruption which
has crept into the primary system is tracea-
bic to such representative" characters as
Mr.. 0gle, who expected to astonish the ma
lives by sailing into Office with one foot in
.he Republican and the other in the Demo-
,ratic ship.
Let Mr.. Ogle bide his time until his party
comes into power, and we doubt not but
hat he will again act in the capacity of
Seuetoire REGULAR.

The most cotinuous snow storm OF
the winter has been experienced
during the past week. Thesnow commenc-
ed falling Tuesday evening and came down
steadily without cessation till Monday
morning. The ground is at present covered
with several feet Of snow and from the ap-
pearace of the skies it is not all down yet.
During the most of the time a raw, cold
wind prevailed, which drifted the snow in
some places many feet deep. The storm
was entirely free from thunder and light
ming and in consequence the Collectors Of
fee still remains unscathed. But then it is
not the lst of May.
