Wsissport letter.

Mrs. R. H. Schooner who has bee1 stop.
ping at Bethlehem for the past few Weeks
with her parents, returned home last We'd
nesday.
-Weissport flatters itself somew hat upon
the nomination of j. S. Webb for Sheriff
Mr.. Webb 10 good, whole-souled fellow +,
but the pity is that he Is the candidate Of
the wrong party to be successful in his as
pirations. Lentz will distance him In the
race from 400 to 500 votes in the county
'Rah for Lentz.
The defeat OIL X Rickert for the legis
lative nomination is an outrage upon the
constancy and frmness OF the lower end
Republicans. BY virtue of the principles
which predominate in the Republican party,
Mr.. Rickert should have had the nomina-
tion as the lower end man. The bosses de-
creed otherwise. The ticket is decidedly a
"Frst National Bank" creature and smacks
Of stalwartism throughout. Mr.. Rickert
was entitled to the nomination from the
fact that be is a veteran Republican and has
been from the infancy OF the party has
worked for the success Of the Republican
party for the last twenty wears never finch
ed in his adhesion TO what he believed to be
honest and according TO principle. 1t is
needless to say that his name would haye
added strength, such as Is necessary tu elect
q Republican ticket in the county, from the
fact that he has an established reputation
for honesty, thriftyness and frugality second
to none other in the county. As may be
expected his defeat is wet blanket upon
the rank and file Of the party of "Morsl re-
form and ideas" in this section, and will be
justly resented by many of them. Ifthere
Is any Republican manhood left and il that
manhood will assert itself, then this "boss
ticket" will bite the dust on November 7,
IN no mean manner. The hour Of revolt is
at hand, and let such honest and sincere
Republicans as Rickerti J. S. Miller, Prof
j. F. Snyder and others of this class, burl
the lance of opposition into this "boss tick
ct of the bosses" eternal vigilance is the
price Of liberty" and if the honest Republi-
cans wish to maintain their right or liberty
Of selecting their own candidates hereafter
they will he vigilsnt and rise with the Prov.
ess Of Phoenix - defeat this uuhallowed
creature-the Stalwart ticket OF the subsid-
cry bosses Of Duke Donald of ofSimonsylvania
Who will first aise the standard Of revolt
Won't the friends of Rickert do III The
cause is sufficient and the reason ample fol
it, Tor has Rickert not always been an abid-
ing follower and supporter of that which
honest Republicanism demands aud hal
he not been pushed away or defeated fol
nominations from time TO time by men who
are by far his interiors in honor, and eorrec
prineiple2 How long will this nockery
this shameless prostitution of Repnbicar
manhood continue? We pause for a reply
until November next, when we believe tina
a peal Of thunder will strike CsIneron's sub
sideries in a manner that will teach then
never again to outrage honest Republican
sentiment

To Girls Who'ye Graduated.

Well, girls, now that you have grad
uated, got your sheep-skins, and are no
longer merry, light-hearted, romping,
rosy-cheeked schoolgirls, don't sit down
and fold your pretty hands across your
laps and musingly say, what next?''
Your education in the great school of
life has just begun. You have just come
through the f1owery garden of youth;
you have been walking upon moscow
cred paths of pleasure, studded here
and there with roses and evergreens,
and just reached the foot of the hill of
life-a rough and rugged hill, scattered
with roses and flowers, under which
grow thorns and thistles. Upon the top
of that hill you can see the ''beautiful
gates ajar." Look up you'll never fall.
Be careful where you put your pretty
feet, lest in making the journey YOU
tread upon thistles and thorns instead
of flowers and roses. May your young
lives in the future be as happy as they
have been in the past, and when you
have reached the end of your journey,
may you present such credentials to
good old St. Peter as will make him
give you a cordial welcome, and on
commencement Day. may the Great
Instructor of us all give each one and
all of you the diploma of His grace-a
crown of glory.-Lomisvi1le Courier

\ little larger than q mans hand passed
over the Big Wichita Valley, eighteen
miles north of lis. It fingered but q
moment, yet in that moment unheard-

but there dropped electric ice. Pieces
of ice five inches in diameter, fifteen
inches around, were hurled from the
upper realms, dashing upon the ground.
like cannon balls from heavy artillery.
Dozens Of pieces were gathered up and
weighed and found to run from fifteen
to twenty ounces. One piece broke
through the new pine shingles on Tom
Gees house, and descending went
through the pine ceiling over the sit
ting-room. At another house, Col.
Whaley's we believe. y piece struck the
stove-pipe projecting from the roof and
cut it off as smooth as could have been
done by an immense clenyer. A number
of sheep on Slime Brothers farm were
killed, and we have heard of few cat
tie having their legs broken. Fortunate
~ there were but one or two pieces to
the acre fell Had they fallen in num-

entire district would have been one vast
ruin-a mingled heap of animal and
