The unreasonably cold weather Of
the past few days resulted in consld-
erable damage in some sections OF
the country. In some parts of this
county ice formed, resulting in
much damage to garden vegetables
and the smaller fruits. Fears were
entertained by some that the wheat
crop was damaged. but SO far as
heard from this has not been verl-
fed. Further west corn and pota-
toes suffered severely, and in some
sections the apple crop is reported a
total loss.

THE number of delegates to the
Chicago Convention is $40. Count
ing up the claims of the first ballot
in behalf Of the respective csndi-
dates. the number is 9S7. 1t looks
as if it would be a cold day for some
one when the first ballot is taken.

AN amendment to the appropria-
ton bill, now before Congress, pro-
yides that from and after June 80,
1884. the number of Internal Reve-
nue. districts shall be reduced to
forty-three. Not quite a year ago
the number of districts was reduced
one-third, and this second sweeping
reduction is regarded by many as a
preliminary step to the abolition Of
the entire system.

The Board of Pardons at Harris
burg, Pa, have a novel question be-
fore them. A pardon has been APP
piled for in the case of a man who
is serving out a sentence for bur
glary. He is wanted at st. Louis on
a charge of murder, and if pardoned
will at once be arrested on that
charge, and put on trial for his life.
The Board doubt whether a convict
can be forced to accept a pardon un-
der such circumstances, and so they
hesitate.

They had Democratic banquet
in San Francisco the other night, at
which II was arranged that the high
toners sat at the head of the table
and were to have fancy dishes and
the wine, while the low toners were
placed at the foot and were to have
the common iare and the whisky.
The low toners were next the kitch-
en- door. and intercepted the fancy
fare until they had their fill, by
which time il was all gone, and the
high toners got nothing but the
champagne which had been SNUG
gled in before the crowd was adj
mitted. The result was that the
high toners were not in as good hui
NOR as the low downers, and went
away with a stronger desire for
something to eat, than for another
banquet. What a delightful in
stance of Democratic harmony

An exchange says: During the
recent Greenback convention the
leading Democrats of Indiana CO.
quoted with the Greenbackers.
Democrats should not be blamed
for flirting with anybody; It is in
the blood. The worst that can be
said of the Greenbackers is that they
flirted with a delegate to the July
convention.

\ Greensburg Suspension

GREENsBURG, Pa, May 29.-The
following notice was found on the
doors of the Tinsman d Walker or
Union Deposit Bank at an early
hour this morning:
being unable 10 convert our paper
into sufficient funds to meet all
requirements. we deem it prudent
to suspend payment fer the pres
ent.
"TISsMAN & WALKER." "
The widest excitement soon pre-
vailed, and many were at sea as to
the cause. 1t is the general belief
that they were speculating in stscks.
Walker is sick and no one can see
him, and Tinsman is in Indiana
County. They have made no expla-
nation whatever. Judgment for
$4,000 was entered against Tinsman
personally by his friends, which will
save his property. The Sheriff closed
his grain house this morning
The liabilities of the firm will
reach 100000. Abram Beck, a
Greensburg merchant, has $4,000
deposited. There are other deposit
ors ranging in amounts from $50 to
$4,000, who are composed mainly of
laboring men and clerks, who lose
all, it being alleged that they will
be unable to pay fifty cents on the
dollar.
The large stationery, book and
hat firm of Spiegel Bros. passed into
the hands Of the Sheriff to day.
Liabilities $4,000, assets $4,000.

Skate Away, Boys!

Ed. Register.-Will you let me occupy a
small space in the columns of your valuable
paper, for know you have young heart,
vet. Yesterday was a real winter day, as
you will remember. So thought, as all of
nv stock were comfortably cared for, 1
would make few calls; and, when reach
ed town, the first person l met was one of
those small boys who are always ready for
fun or a good time. He came up with anx-
iety depicted in his eountenance, and said,
"May we boys go skating on your pond?''
Do you wonder it brought back to my mind
the time when was one of the small boys?
How wildly it called up the scenes of early
childhood, and my schoolboy days. How
each dear face came UP just as fresh as If but
YESTERDAY, and of the ruddy checked, black
eyed girl that sat by my side, as we learned
our lessons together; how we rode down hill,
she before and behind, on the same sled.
All, Mr.. Editor, it almost made my eyes
well maybe it was the cold wind that made
my eyes so blind! Yes, boys, I have been a
boy myself, and one of the boys; and have
vet boys heart, and L do, enjoy and love to
see the boys, and girls, too, enjoy life as it
comes. For we all know there is little
enough JOY in this world, at best. So now.
when it is good time for skating, enjoy
yourself as much as possible. but let your
enjoyment be of that kind that you viii not
have to regret in later years. From your
friend, T. p. RUSSELL.

A Shooting ARRAY at Piedmont.

Last Friday afternoon about four O'Clock
the citizens of Piedmont were startled by
the report that Harry Holland had been shot
and MORALLY wounded by his partner, Dale.
The two men were i'm partnership in the sa
loon business, and the difficulty arose from
partnership entangements. 1t appears that
the agreement, when the partnership was
formed, was that every morning the proceeds
of the night were to be counted and turned
over into the common fund. For several
mornings prior to Friday, Dale had neglected
to do this, and hence the difficulty. Holland
reproached his partner with breaking the
agreement, and one word brougt on another,
until the shooting ended the controversy.
One report says that Holland threw his coat
and was about to assault Dale, when the lat
ter drew his pistol and shot. The other is to
the effect that Dale first drew his revolver
and Holland grabbed his arm, but, notwith-
standing, the former succeeded in his at
tempt to use the pistol. Three shots were
fired-the first without effect; the second
passed through Hollands neck, and the
third passed down the back and lodged near
the spine in the lower part of the body. The
latter wound is very severe, and it will re-
quire careful treatment and favorable con-
ditions to bring about the patients complete
recovery. DIR. Goulding was telegraphed for
and went down by the first train. He
dressed the wounds, but failed to find the
