Republican probabilities.


of the Democratic Convention on MONDAY Ind
hardly subsidized, aud quietude resumed It's
sway on Tuesday morning before Che town
was filled VITA Republican politicians canvass
ing Among those most prominent in brtton
hoIng and calling fellows around the corner
we're the numerous candidates for the sheriff
atty. Smoot claims to be ahead in the race
with Adams close on his heels, while Nessrs
Sylvester Mudd and J II ChappeIear think
one Of them might possioly run IN as the dark
horse. Mr.. Mcdaniel may have the thing
fixed for ought we can learn as he was not in
town.
Candidates for the House Of Delegat8 were
talked of but they are somewhat scarce for
this lucrative place. Mr.. W DC Mitchell
will be one nominee without doubt and his
brother Richard S. who has been on the war
path Of late for legislation honors thinks he
ought to be another And Lee says the third
place is for him. Norris asserts that much need
ed leg islatiou should be accomplished this SEES
sion hence good men like him should be sent.
If the anu-court house element is represented
on the delegation, Mllar is in hopes of being
the m,n. Mullen demands that he must not be
forgotten, as he is the representative of his
race in the county.
AS to the County Commissioners, about
every other man you met was a candidate
Hammersly will probably represent he 5th
district and Montgomery, Bryautown, and
who else God Almighty knows.

SETTING A BROKEN NECK

The following case, recorded in a
despatch from Reading, Pa, is not
without parallel: Edward Swartz,
of Dover township, was out in the
woodland during a severe storm, and
could find no shelter except under
the large trees. He was standing
close to a large oak tree. and when
the storm was at its height a large
limb was suddenly wrenched off a
tree near by, and fell across Mr..
Swartz's neck, dislocating it. He
was removed to his home, and physi-
clans were summoned who made an
examination of his injuries. They
were satisfied that he could not live
in that condition, and the only hope
for him was to have the neck set.
The operation was a critical one.
All present expressed their belief that
the man might die under the opera
ton, and that die he must if left in
his present condition. Drs. Weist,
of York, and Gross, of Dover, in
formed the unfortunate man of the
dangerous condition he was in, and
when asked if he was willing, he at
once requested to have the critical
operation performed. Meanwhile Mr..
Swartz was perfectly conscious and
talked freely. He replied to the ply
sicians when questioned about the
critical nature of the operation, that
he was in their hands and in the hands
of God, and that they should do the
best they could for him. A thorough
examination was made, and it was
found that the fourth joint of the
neck had been fractured. The Rev.
j. C. Deininger was also called in.
He held religious services in the room,
committing the unfortunate man into
the hands of the all-wise Father, and
asking the blessing of God upon the
work to be done, and praying for a
successful result of the operation.
DIR. Hay took hold of the patients
head, and Drs. Weist and Long work.
ed at the neck and shoulders, and the
fracture was successfully reduced.
The patient said at once that he felt
relieved, and that he had more feel
ing in his body, which had been COM
pletely paralized. At this time the
doctors cannot say what the result
of the operation will be. If the spi-
nal cord was not injured, the patient,
it is thought, may recover. The ply
sicians say he is doing as well as
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1883-09-10

WHAT Is A PRoFEssOR?- Perhaps
the best abused word in the language
is professor" There appears to be
a mania for attaching it to all sorts
and conditions of men. Time was
when the word carried with it a GER
tain significance, but nowadays that
significance is found only in its in
significance. A fedgling of one-and
twenty who, to use the expression of
Ephraim Smooth, ''rubbeth the hair
of the horse against the bowels of a
cat, OF in other words plays the fid-
die, is dubbed a professor the bruis-
er, whose only ambition it is to knock
out of all semblance of humanity the
face of his opponent, is professor
of the manly art - the negro who
polishes your boots for the munifi-
cent remuneration of five cents, is
perforce professor; the collector
of the city's garbage and the driver
of the street-sweeping machine are
professors and so also is the opera
tor to whose tender mercies you sub
NIT your chin to be reaped with seri-
Gus misgivings concerning the safety
of your throat, and so on dd infni-
tam. This may be all right, for it is
levelling age, and what right has
any man, no matter what his moral
or intellectual standing, to possess
and enjoy title, which his fellow
man, no matter how far down in the
social scale he may be, has not the
same right to appropriate! But, for
all that, the indiscriminate use of the
word borders on absurdity, and if
there is any significance whatever in
the use of the title; if it carries with
it any particular honor, or if it is
symbolical of any especial fitness as
applied to the teacher of any of the
liberal arts and sciences, then it
should be applied only to those who
are entitled by high intellectual stand
ing to rightly wear it.-Boston Trac-
eller.
