We understand there ure some sore
Republicans in the county, who have been
led to at least intimate tlley would not
support the county ticket. Some Of these
have been political friends. and some po-
litical enemies of the FREss. We wish to
say to all of them that the ticket lected
was fairly the choice of the convention,
AMI that you should not allow personal
g ievances to take precedence over
principle. Think the matter over care-
fully. and see il Won Gre ready to lay down
your principles and vote for Democrats

been thus injured.

heard various rumors about the past life
OF one bolter, but when it becomes nee
essary for this paper to adopt this mode OF
warfare against our political opponents
the present proprietors will retire from the
business. Such things are too low to be
countenanced by the craft, as we'll as by
the people.

was Just received of destructive wind
storm in the western portion of the State on
last Saturday night The heavens had
been fringed with black, ominous clouds all
day, with considerable wind and much rain.
At six O'Clock in the evening at Cawker
City, the wind blew straight from the north
west with fearfull velocity, tearing the roof
OF the Central Branch depot and scattering
it in fragments over the prairie. The First
National Bank building was forced from its
foundation and carried away. About IL
dwellings were either unroofcd demolished or
wrecked in some manner. Many business
houses were twisted from their foundations
and had their fronts blown in. No lives
were reported lost At Warwick, the tcrmi-
nus of the Republican branch Of the Union
Pacific Railroad. the storm was also severe,
many small houses were blown down, others
unroofed, with chimneyS, out-houseS and
fences totally destroyed At Hardy, a small
town on the Burlington and Missouri road
in Nebraska, thirteen cars were blown from
the track and wrecked, while other damages
to houses, stores, &c, is reported. The rain
fell in torrents and covered the ground
completely in MANY places.

his services to the Democracy in any way
that might contribute to the selection
Of ticket giving confidence To
the country, and which would jus
tify the support af himself and other dissat-
isfed Republicans, 1t is understood that
he is ambitious TO go as a delegate To III"

although there is more of desire to make
him member Of the Executive Committee
II is further understood that Nr. Harris IN
has already promised material contribn.
ton to the campaign fund, and in other
ways has testified that he means
business. In 1872 President Grant appoint ID
him one of tho directors Of the Union Pac ic
Railroad, and il was while serving as su h
that he traced S6i, 900 directly TO Blaine, and
endeavored to have him investigated, but
was Jaffied by those higher in authority. He
was a delegate to the Republican National
Convention in 1876, and sprung this upon
Blaine and il proved a material as.
.isiance in preventing his nomination
Again in lsS0 he was an antiBalne dele

he not been betrayed aud counted oat by

Franklin, W. Va, June THE neigh
borhood in the vicinity of Mccoy Mills, on
the south branch of the Potomac, a few
miles south Of this place, is much excited
over frightful tragedy which occurred in
that locality one day early this week. The
exact date is not known, owing to meagre
details, but your correspondent fixes 1t
from the best information obtainable on
Tuesday last Several people in that por-
ton ofthc country have reported the presence
of large panther in tn" woods. Isaac Jcn-
kins. small farmer, who is fond Of
sport, concluded on the dav named to
hunt the animal. He was accompanied by
two sons one sixteen, the other twelve wears
of age. Arriving at the point where the
animal is reported to have been seen, the
party separted, the two boys going ono
way, the father another Some time after
ward the father saw what he took in the
bushes and underground to be a large ami
NAL. Taking aim he fired, and was almost
paralyzcd to hear n piercing scream in
which he recognized his boys voice Rum
ming to the spot he found he had killed his
eldest son, the shot passing through his
side into his left lung. Almost frantic with
griefhe carried the boy home and called in
the neighbors. The community is much
exercised over the sad occurrence, and it is
feared the old gentleman will lose his mind.
