SOME BOYS.
who yentured With Their 10,

Who ventured With Their Boat and Dog
Derrick Pike and Fred Reucb, aged Is
with a large dog got into a boat tied tc
the shore just above tho lower Genesee
falls. The boys were padding with a
piece of board, when the fastening parted
and the boat was. caught by the current.
Before they had time to think or act, it
shot over the falls. A man who saw them
and was Fastening to their aid says that
tho lads made no outcry, but the dog, az
the boat poised on the brink, appeared to
be on the point OF jumping. A piece of
the boat only has been found. The river
is very high from the rains
In La Sale. ILL.,, John Carr, IA years
old, while returning home from work, was
met on the railroad bridge by drunken
man, who threw him over the railing into
tho Illinois river. In his fall of 65 feet
the boy turned over severa! times, and
finally entered the water feet first. The
affair was witnessed by two fishermen, who
saved the boy from drowning, while tho
tramp made bis escape.

Who Supports Them.

The spirit and unanimity with which
the Democrats of the House are acting
in resisting the tyranny of the Republi.
can majority is very agreeable to their
constituents, who have long and often
been distressed by the lack of vigor and
harmony in Democratic action at Wash
ingtOn. Our representatives need not
fear that when they act boldly, decidedly
and unitedly, they will not have the sup
port of the Democratic voters, whom
nothing pleases better than courage and
decision in their leaders. In tho issue
upon which our congressman have taken
their stand in the Mackey-Dibble con-
tested election case, they have the
hearty and absolutely unanimous sup
port of the Democratic party the only
adverse criticism which we know of,
coming from the party Republican press
and from a certain class of namby-
pamby journals that call themselves in
dependent, but which have independence
of political principles rs their chief title
to the designation. The editors of some of
these sheets who have kind side for the
Democracy, rather because they hate
Republicanism than that they love us or
our principles, are wont to indulge
themselves in many filings at our ways
Of doing things, by way of demonstrate
ing their boasted independence of party,
and prompted by the further inducement
that they thus deliver themselves of
their pent-up feelings of disgust
that the Democratic party refuses
to travel towards political success by the
devious ways which they would have it
take, but which it cannot adopt con-
sistently with its principles and its
honor. Such editors condemn the Demo-
cratic representatives for insisting that
the Republican majority should not ad-
nit Republican contestant to his seat
without properly inquiring into the al
legged forgery of the evidence upon which
he claims it. They fail to understand
the principle involved in the issue and
look upon it simply as a question be-
tween a Republican and Democratic
contestant of seat, which is decided in
favor of the Republican because he is
Republican /; and they would not have
the Democratic minority kick against
the pricks in vaiDly resisting what the
majority resolves to do and has the
power to do.
As we have said, the Democratic con-
stituency look upon the contest differ
emily; they are delighted TO see their
representatives resist what they deem
wrong, and they warmly support them
in continuing their resistance in every
lawful way regardless of consequences
or the probability of present success.

DOWN the COUNTRY



Tho First Celebration In Colers,ne
About O'Clock Il. IN. tho G. A. r. Post
left Oxford in barouches, wagons and
other cOnveyauces, accompanied by the
orator Of the day, Hon. Theo. X. Stubbs
for the Union cemetery, Lancaster county
where COmrade John A. Alexander and
about twelve soldiers are buried. A large
assemblage of relatives and friends also
accompanied the post and crowd of peo-
pie waited their arrival. After q aprayer
the post ceremonies were conducted and
were very impressive. The grafton was
then delivered by Hon. Theodore Stubs,
who handled his solemn subject i'll u mas
terly manner. Having clear, distinct
voice and being good thinker he held his
whole audience throughout his Grafton.
This was the first service Of the kind ever
held in COleraine, and the post made an
extra effort to make the occasion an im-
prcssive one, and those in attendance were
unanimous in prOnO,lncing it q success.
Services were also held at Fagg's Manor
where f. ID. Bingham delivered the ora
ton and where pleasant feature was the
formation of two lines of youn. girls with
bouquets on the inside of the cemetery
They were about forty in number. The
exercises in Oxford were also very beauti-
full, E. ID. Bingham, esq. delivering the
Grafton in the absence Of Rev. Richard
kaines, who was i'll and unavOidably ab-
sent.
RECKLESS PARENTS.

For the lNrELLIGENCER.
We wonder not at the eagerness dis
played blythe immense thrOng of people who
crowded the streets yesterday, each one
imbued with tho tenderness and love the
occasion SO gracefully called for, but when
at the Lancaster cemetery We saw what
we believed to be over hundred and pos
sibly two hundred baby carriages, with
their innocent and helpless occupants at
the mercy Of a surgiBG. restless thrOng of
people. in danger Of life and limb.
We could not help but charge the parents
of those innocent babes with a reckless
ness that does not belong to any but
thOughtless parents. In nine cases out Of
ten, those in charge of the carriages were
not the mothers o! the babes, SO appear
anccs would Indicate, but thoughtless
servants, who felt the Importance of the
occasion mole "n their own account, than
anything they could possibly render salts
factory to th. iIupcent, helpless and in
comprehensive charges which they saw
fit to take up'n themselves, only to make
them miser..bic ut the expense of their
own qualification while the mothers
themselves in many instances regarded
their own safety BEST when screened be-
hind the lace curtains Of their front win
dOws looking at the parade, which never
came within dangerous proximity to them.

in, but " tho best hall for lyceum pur-

ger that envir0ns you SO great as the
honOrs that men want to heap upon you,
that they may succeed in their own schemes
through the use of your record. All
political parties now a-days seem to be
bent on using the soldiers name to adOrn
their tickets. 1t is a delusive snare,
unless it comes, as such things
rarely come, on the score of merit.
This anxiety for you and me and all of us
on the part Of tho politicians, reminds mo
of story once heard of a Mississippi
steamboat captain. He was a very pro-
fame man. One day his steamboat grounded
on 4 mud bank near a little town. and
there she stuck, ono end in the water and
tho other in the mud, and she would not
stir an inch in spite of all his swearing. So
he called his mate and said, "Jim, you go
up into town and tell the folks that keep
the meetin' up there that Pve got religion,
aud when ring the bell they shall como
and hold a prayer meeting on my boat. !"
Well, the news made a great stir, and
every God fearing soul in the community
came down. There stood the captain. sure
enough, ready to receive them. "Go aft
brethren,' he said, ego aft" and back
they went until the weight of the water
end weighed tho steamer down and she
began to slip into deep water. That was
what he wanted. He saw her clear and
then he yelled, " meetin's out, d-n you!
jump ashore::quick, aud jump they did,
and that was the end of the conversation.
1t was about as deep and abiding as the
politicians zeal for the soldier. Office is
nothing when purchased with tho price OF

ing condition be attached. No soldier can
allow himself to become ballast for poll
tical ship.
