section with an enthusiastic meeting on last
Friday evening. A. Z. kimmel was elected
president and Samuel Forney. Jr., secretary.
Short sneeches were made by r. II. Koontz,
DR.. George W. Brallier and Others, all point
ing TO the importance of the coming cam
paign. The Republicans Of Berlin and
Brotbersvalley are too well acquainted with
the old enemy to allow themselves - be
caught mapping The ticket, headed by
James A. Beaver, the noble and MANNED
hero of Ream's Station, will receive the sup
port of the Republicans of this section al
most to a man. Very few stragglers in this
neck Of woods. The next meeting will be

Noper committees will be appointed and
the most aggressive work begun.

HISTORY OF SoNFRsET AND BEDFORD coVN-
TIEs.-Could the people who have made cur
county Whist il is o-day, who have passed
TO their final reward, again revisit the scenes
of their earthly iabors, how great would be
their desire that their names be ernbalmed
in history that they be not forgotten? The
erection of tablets TO the memory of those
departed and in commemoration of those
living is almost a old as the human race,
dating back to our certain knowledge to the
erection Of the pyramids of Egypt, which
shows that pervading the breast of man is a
fine sentiment that is never entirely oblit-
Grated. The greater the intelligence. the
more the refinement of the people, the more
considerate they are of each others feelings
and the more tenderly are their memories
cherished, which is shown forth to the world
by recording them in history.
If we as people wish our history record
ed, and We have 4 very interesting one. ex-
tending back into the seventeenth century,
let US step forward and offer the necessary
financial assistance to the publishing house
of Waterman, Watkins Il Co., as they call
on US individually. That many do is evil
denced by the names attached to an article
on this subject in another column, which
was incomplete last week, owing to our 60
ing to press too soon. The history will COM
mence with colonial times, and bring every
thing of interest up to the present time, in
eluding. in addition 10 the history of the
pioneers and the people who have made our
county what it is to-day, the history of
churches, schools, societies, the bar. the
medical profession, list of county officers,
etc, including our military roster and re-
cord, agricultural, manufacturing, coal. iron
and all other interests. In fact it will be
thorough and complete and reflect great
credit upon us and be a work that we and
our descendants can point to with pride and
pleasure, for it will be an elegant volume.

Why was il that Val Hay, Esq, was os-
tracised by Boss Coffroth, and not allowed
10 attend his recent county convention
Mr.. Uhl had selected Mr.. Hay as one of his
delegates for this borough, but the Boss
would have none of it. He had several of
his henchmen to wait on Uhl and inform
him that Hay shouldn't go into the con-
yention, and that if he was put up as del
egate he should be defeated. Why was
this? Hasn't Hay been a consistent. hard
working Democrat all his life? Was it be-
cause he was too well posted in scientific !"
politics and the old Scientific" was afraid
of being out-scienced, and of having some
OF his under-hand tricks exposed before the
convention? May be Hay wouldn't endorse
the bargain and sale, whereby the votes of
800 of his brethren We're to be bartered
away in return tor Independent support of
the Scientific But be this a it may. the
fact remains that Boss Coffroth served notice
on John II. Uhl, Esq, that his friend Val
Hay, Esq, lifelong Democrat, would not

THE SCIENTIFIC" PosEs As A DRAMATIsT.
From last weeks Democrat it is clearly ey-
ident that the literary talent of the family
is not confined exclusively to its ostensible
editor, but that its uncle, the genial ''Scien-
tific." when he has finished his work Of
bOssing conventions. betraying his friends,
violating his pledges, and selling the suf-
frages OF his brethren, can sharpen his quill,
enlarge the scope of his imagination and
lcrite. As a very general thing the produc-
tions of his brain and quill that appear in
public print are simple, silly, harmless af-
fairs that work not hurt or injury to any
one. But last week he diverged from his
accustomed groove when he struck the melo-
dramatic strain and wrote comedy in two
acts, in which his lifelong friend, General
Koontz, figures as the principal character,
and several other of our fellow townsmen
also appear.
The performance opens in the most APP
proved style. with four of the actors on the
stage discussing politics. Uhl is declared to be
OF no account and Koontz is id, when sud
denly "a terrific shock of lightning made
the earth tremble, and its corruscations il
Illuminated the heavens for miles around,
throwing q bright light and exposing their
CHASTITY appearance, etc. then all at once
the foot-hghts are eXtinguished, the curtain
General Koontz' alley" and here the Gen
eral is heartlessly deserted by the writer and
left in his own alley "in the dark hours of
the night in mournful accents crying,
G-u-i-t-e-a-u."
The play is good, full of humor, and We
predict an immense run for both it and its
author this fall The only criticism We
have to offer is that it stops too suddenly
and leaves its principal character in too
painful a predicament. The writer should
put himself in the place Of his principal
character. Just for an instant, and we think
he will realize what an embarrassing posi-
ton IL i ana will readily see the force of
our remarks, let him place himself in an
ALLEY in the dark hours of the night
shouting "Guiteau." What would he do
if it should suddenly become light? would
he sill in mournful accents cry G-u-i-
t-e-a-u2' What would his neighbors and
people passing by think? We make this
suggestion with the kindliest feeling for ths
author and because Of our deep interest in
the friend whom he takes for his principal
character People would talk. They might
not be at all surprised at hearing General
Koontz in mournful accents cry Gull
t-e-a-u, but they would certainly be shock
ed and horrifed to think of him charging
around in an alley in the dark hours of the
night

How Judge Noonan was Taken by surpr ss.
Yesterday Judge Tom Harrison appeared
IN court dressed up for wedding, kid gloves,
white vest, etc. A case was called in which
H ,rrison was attorney, and in which rule for
costs was filed. Harrison rose, and in an
earnest manner asked that the case be con-
tinued, that his brother was to be married At
10 o'clock, and it only lacked fifteen minutes
to the appointed hour. The Judge, with
proper appreciation OF the delicate situation,
ordered the clerk to enter continuance. The
clerk protested in an earnest way, and Judge
Simpson interfered very awkwardly. explain
ing that the wedding took place at Evansville,
Indiana. Then it was that Judge Noonan fell
back in his judicial seat and exclaimed: "OI
all the absurdities ever heard this caps the
Climax"
The wedding was that of Maj. ] B. Har-
rison to Miss Rudd, and Judge Harrison was
suitably attired TO appear as the groom's best
man, and telegraphed to that effect at the
moment of the ceremony.
