THERE were thousands of Democrats in
every Northern State who were true to
the Union from 1861 to 1865. But the
Democratic organization, in each of the
States during that period, and in its Ma
tional Convention of 1864, was uniformly,
and almost aggressively, obstructive to
the Union cause. 1t is this great fact OF
Democratic history that must foreYer
prevent that party's return to power.

-Tbe Bald Ridge Company have
Case of Mrs. Nancy McGrew.

The 7:40, P NJ, train on the 2. Il
w. II. r., from Butler to Parker, had
scarcely gotten clear of the depot here
last Thursday, when it ran over and
killed Mrs. Nancy McGrew, of Frank
lin twp, who was lying on the track
about sixty feet above the crossing of
the P. & w. and Butler Branch X. K.
The road curves here and the engineer
could not see her on account OF the
headlight throwing the light to the
right of the track, and the fireman,
who had just finished firing up, did
not see her until the engine was upon
her, and then was not sure the object
he saw on the track was human be-
ing. He heard scream, however,
and had the train stopped, when the
BODY of Mrs. McGrew was found un-
der the first car of the train, and terri
bly, mangled. She had laid down en-
tirely within the tracks, with the ex-
ception of her left foot, which was cut
of. Near by, and on the track, was
found slip of paper with her name
and address plainly written thereon,
and some twelve feet from the track,
her hat with her shawl closely stuffed
into it, was found. Justice Keck was
notified of the accident, Jury was
empanneled, who viewed the remains
on the grounds, and they were placed
in coffin and taken to the undertak-
er's. Coroner Kennedy was also no.
tilted and an inquest held next day, at
which it appeared that Mrs. McGrew
was first seen in Butler at the bridge
near the depot, between the hours OF
5 and 6 o'clock, that she was at
Boyle's hotel where sh. borrowed
matches and a piece of paper, that she
inquired of several persons of the
times of the departure of trains, asking
particularly if there was train that
left at midnight, that she was seen
walking up and down the track of TIE
P. & W, near the crossing and that
when warned of her danger she re-
piled that she was able to take care OF
herself. That she had been in Ill
health for some eighteen months and
was not considered to be of sound
mind, and that she had attempt
ed ard threatened suicide several
times previous The Jury found that
she came to her death by her own act,
while laboring under temporary aber-
l..tion of the mind
Mrs. McGrew had been on a visit
to her neighbors, the Shannons of
Franklin twp, that day and was ac-
companied on her way home as far as
the end of the lane that leads to her
home. This, we understand, was
about three O'Clock in the afternoon,
and when left alone she must have
walked very fast to have reached But
ler at the time she was first seen here.
She was the wife of Mr. William Nc
Grew, OF Franklin twp, and esteemed
citizen of that community, and who
has the sympathy of all in this sad
occurrence.

AVeriiabIe Phenomenon.

From the Commercial Gazette of Sept. 6.l
The storm on Monday afternoon
was remarkable not only fog the vast
quantity of water emptied from the
clouds in very few minutes, but for
the other accompaniments not usual
on such occasions. One of these noted
at the residence of Mr.. P. c. Renters,
the sculptor, at CHARTERS, is well
worth recording, not only from its nov
city but as affording matters worthy
of investigation by the scientist. At
4:3O O'Clock Mrs. Renters and her son
were seated in the hall of their resi-
residence, with both the front and rear
doors open, but all doors communica-
ting with rooms on the same floor
closed. There had been in that re-
gion no signs of storm and no thun-
der was heard Hearing a peculiar
Kissing noise, they looked up and be-
held a ball of fire in the air over their
heads, as large apparently as a mans
head, rapidly revolving and emitting a
brilliant light. They were startled
by its appearance, and had had time
barely to observe it when it exploded
with loud report filing the air with
sulphurous fumes so strong as nearly
to suffocate them, and covering every
thing with fine luminous dust. The
ball-erolite, or whatever it may have
been-was almost directly over the
head of Willie Renters when it explod-
ed, and he received thorough coat
ing of the dust, his hair being filed
with it. All the doors and windows
were thrown open, in order to get rid
of the unpleasantly suggestive fumes,
and it was discovered that the effects
of the strange visitor was plainly
marked throughout the house. The
ceilings of the lower story were finish
ed with gilt molding, all of which va;
blackened and hopelessly ruined
Gilt picture frames were also discolor,
ed, and the paintings marked. Above
and below the molding a strip of per
) haps about foar inches broad was also
blackened. The dust, which was par
ticularly adhesive, clung to the wall:
and ceilings and furniture in all parts
of the house, and when at night tht
lamps were lit everything looked as i
bespangled with diamond dust, ant
most beautiful effects were produced
The powder, which is very fine, is ev
idently of metallic nature, and on ex
animation will probably be found t.
! coincide in structure with the elements
.. meteoric stones, in iron ore, nickel ant
e cobalt are prominent. No injury t.
persons occurred, but it is within
bounds to say that two worse frighten
S ed persons than Mrs Renters and be
son were would be difficult to find
: Balls of fire are not infrequently see
: traversing the heavens at night, hu
:, this is the first instance on record, S
far as we are informed, of one enterin
: and exploding in house. Neither {
il the persons who saw it can tell a
which door it entered.

strata was of the usual depth for that vicinity
about fifty feet, but the company happened to
locate the well over hard spot in it. They
intend drilling another well closer to the
Shidemantle well. The ShiGemantle well is on
the same farm. 1t is still flowing 100 barrels

sand which indicates that it will continue pro-

deep and soon runs dry. There can be no
doubt as to there being good territory in this
