CAssELMAN SCHOOL HOUSE. Nov. g, 1852.
Editor Herald The Republicans of this
place had a grand old time in their school
house, Friday night. The meeting was
called to order by Zachariah Snyder who
nominated that sound old Republican,
Francis May, for President, Barnet Helm
baugh and Daniel Phillippi vice presidents,
and A J. Sembower and l.. L. Weimer, Sec
retaries Dr. Fichtner made stirri ng ad-
dress and discussed many points of interest
Hon. A. J. Colborn was the next speaker,
and his audience gave him their closest at
tention. He spoke of the issues of the day
and gave the origin of the Independent party
or side-show. Almost all the Republicans,
several Democrats, but no Independents
were present. The Democrats seemed to be
very much pleased with the meeting and
sanctioned every word spoken. Casselman is
true blue, and always has been; they will
continue to roll the ball to victory. The
meeting was grand success, and closed
with three rousing cheers for Beaver and
the whole Republican ticket.

For the year 1881 Mr. Isaac Kaufman, of
Somerset county. was assessed as State tax
on money at interest within sightysix cents
as much as all the people of Cambria county
for the same purpose. His bank and rail-
road stocks are not included, as the different
corporations pay whatever tax may be levied
on them Ii looks little as if Mr.. Kaufman
were either particularly honest in making bis
return TO the assessors or the people of this
county did not tell all thev knew, or forget
entirely about great deal of the money they
had loaned. The aggregate amount of money
at interest in Somerset county in the year
1881, as returned by the assessors, was
$6S9, 9,0S6, while these officials in Cambria
county could only find $50, l55 at interest,
and yet Cambria county has nearly five
thousand more taxables than Somerset coun-
ty The value of our real estate is placed at
Si.l32. $50, against s6,0l5,6 for Somerset
county. We returned $50 cows and neat
cattle while Somerset returned 10, l65. The

Cambria county was placed at s2d3, ,525 in

The latest swindle on farmers, which gen.
orally succeeds on those who take no pa
pers is outlined in an exchange as follows:
Two rogues watch the papers for estray
notices, and when one is published one OF
them goes to look at the animal. OF course
on application the unsuspecting farmer
shows the beast, and the fellow decides that
it is not his, and then returns to his partner
and describes the animal minutely. No.
goes to the farmer, and after proving by
thorough description that he the owner of
the animal, says he can't take it away, of
fers TO sell il at bargain. The farmer buys,
and in a day or two the rightful owner comes
and claims the animal. and of course the
farmer is ont Just so much.

DEATH OF GEN. CYRUS p. MARHLE-We
Gen. Cyrus p Markle, of Mill Grove, this
county, on Friday evening, Oct 9th. at
about o'clock p. IN. Gen. C. Z. Markle was
born in Sewickly township, Westmoreland
county. Pa on the lsth of April, 1910, and
at the time of his death was in the
seventy third year Of his age. He was son
of Gen. Joseph Markle, who served with
distinction a captain of cavalry in the war
of 1872, and who was afterwards the Wing
candidate for Governor in lSi4, and was
defeated by Frapcis r. Skunk by a very
small majority. Gen. C. p. Markle was one
of the pioneer paper manufacturers of the
State, being for more than fifty years
identified with that interest, and the
mammoth paper and pulp manufactures
that he has had constructed and successfully
managed, as well as ne large landed estates
that he has accumulated in recent years is
the best evidence of his large practical
business qualifications. In politics Gen.
Markle was Whig, and when afterwards
that party became merged into that of the
Republican party, Pennsylvania had no
more shrewder or faithful adherent to the
principles of Republicanism than the late
Gen. Markle. If he was noted as a man of
mark in the business and political world, he
will also be remembered as a man of the
most generous impulses. In the home circle
with his family and friends of his earlier
and later years he was united in bonds of
the firmest friendship. The laborer WAS
always sure of his hire, and the poor man
was never turned away from the door of him
who had been so successful in life. without
his favor and blessing. Thus has passed
away another substantial link of the early
with the latter days of the century, and
when he is laid to rest ty his native
Sewiekly. many an silent tear will be shed
for this honorable Misunderstanding Press.
