how wretchedly poor and destitute human
beings can be and live, until he has ridden

for shelter that offend the eve between Glen

not one comfortable, tidy dwelling, not one

holes in the ground, or between the rocks,

tattered tatters that Lazarus waS'attired in
princely robes in comparison. Deer stood in
the fields and birds sat upon the trees, fear
less of man, for no Irishman is permitted to

of its present peck Of trouble by with
drawing both Beaver and Stewart and
substituting q compromise candidate.
The day for doing this has passed, and
even if it could now be done 1t wouldn t

in saying that Cameron is bitterly op
posed to any such eleventh hour arrange
ment He made Beaver his personal
candidate and viii keep him in the
field With Beaver out of the way and
a new ticket in the field, Cameron would
be without any following. He prefers
taking his chances with BellefOnte's s
Christian statesman" =" and will defeat
any new man who may be put up.
With PattisoE elected, Cameron would
still have a following in the Republican
party. Isn't it decidedly cool. however.

THE Republican county convention
met in this place on Monday last and
made the following nominations Con-
gress, Jacob n Campbell Assembly,
S. p MorreU, Taylor township, and W.
". AcAteer, Loretto; Sheriff, D. II.
Kiukead, Ebensburg; Poor House Di-
rector, John c. Bradley, Carroll town
ship Jury Commissioner, John II.
Vail, RichIand township; Coroner, n.
". Westbrook, Portage township. This
is probably IS acceptable a ticket to the
grand old party as the convention could
have nominated and Will no doubt re-
ceive the full party vote. but there is
nothing in it to hurt beyond that. The
Republican leaders in this place claim,
however, that it will be elected, and of
course, they will make a desperate eff
fort to bring about that result. The
Democrats of the county, being thus
forewarued, must be forearmed, and the
first important thing to be done is a
complete and thorough organization of
the party in every election district in
the county. This has not heretofore,
except on very rare occasions, been at
tended to as it ought to have been, and
in more than one instance the conse-
quences have been disastrous. The
chairman of the County Committee, no
matter who he is, is not omnipOtent, al
though some persons think he is, and
however vigorous his efforts at organi-
zation may be they will fail in accom-
plishing their.purpose, unless he is cor
daily and actively sustained by the in
flueutial and leading Democrats them
selves in their respective districts. Up
on their shoulders the labor rests, and
if they prove lukewarm or Indifferent,
they, and not the chairman of the
committee. must bear the blame. That
the chairman will perform his part of
the work admits OF no doubt, but to
make it effective he must be willingly
and energeticalIy assisted by the Demo-
Gratis in every district who earnestly de
sire Cambria to maintain her position
in the line of Democratic counties Let
the work, therefore, be done thoroughly
speedily and effectively.

a GIRLS MIRACULOUS EsCAPE.-LiZzie
Hammond, a chambermaid in one of our no.
tells, SAYS the San Francisco CaU, being de-
tected in a fourth-st story room where she had
no business to be, attempted to ayoidsexpO-
sure by climbing out of the window and slid
ing to the ground by means of telegraph
wire that passed by just within reach. Be
fore she had descended many yards the wire
burnt her hands as though it was red hot,
and she was compelled to let it 90. In fall
ing her body bounded back and forth De-
tween two parallel walls. This lessened the
momentum of her descent, which was still
further diminished by striking on telephone
wire. She thus escaped being killed by the
fall, but the physicians found that her neck
was disjOinted as it would have been by
hanging. They chlorOformed her, set heI
neck back in its proper place, and now have
hopes that her youth and strong constitution
may carry her through.
