several places. Mr.. Hardy is not
at all pleased that he should be
made the first victim of fence-cut
ting, and tbs hoped he will be the
last in this county. The wire was
cut with an axe or a Ratchet.

the exercise of trickery and violence
in another. With the facts of cur
rent history staring us in the face it
requires no great stretch of the imag-
ination to look forward to time
heaven grant it may never come
when parties will be so evenly divid-
ed in this country that the counting
of few fraudulent votes on either
side will determine the result, the pas
sions Of the people will be aroused
and the charges of fraud and corrup-
ton hurled back and forth will inten-
sify the fury of the contestants. A
hundred thousand offices will be at
stake. Frenzied with anger and greed
the voters will gather to the standards
of their respective leaders, and the
quarrel thus begun will be settled by
an appeal to arms, and not by any
tribunal known to the civil law.
Then, when the struggle ends and the
smoke Of battle is swept from the
field, who shall say that some Caesar
may not have marched to throne,
over the prostrate bodies of the peo-
pie? can not, | shall not even ven
ture to predict. But do say if hber-
ty in this country is ever overthrown,
it will not be because a few men, or a
few thousand men, or few hundred
thousand men have become unfaithful,
but it will be because the great major
ity Of the people have become demor-
allied and corrupt, and therefore un fit
to exercise the powers and privileges
Of free men. IF we avoid the dangers
to which l refer, the citizen must
stand by the law and insist upon its
enforcement. He must acquisce in
no invasion of the rights of others.
He must not tolerate the use of mon
ey or the exercise Of fraud and vio-1
lence in elections. He must go So
berly and earnestly to the discharge
of his public duties. He must feel
that he is responsible for the proper
government Of this country, and see
to it that Legislators are selected who
think of something higher than offi-
ces and emoluments. -
In conclusion, fellow citizens, let
me say that am well aware that
there are more cheerful topics than
those to which have invited your at
tention, bat it has seemed to me that
IN the presence of the dead it was fit
ting and proper to speak plainly OF
the duties Of the living. and that it
would have been vain for me to stand
up here on this occasion to fatter
you by speaking Of the prosperity OF
the country, of its rapid Development,
Of its extended and extending COM
merce, of it's countless miles of rail-
way, of its populous cities, busy fac
tories, and great wealth, for these are
all perishable. A few years of civil
strife would destray them utterly, and
leave our territory stripped Of all save
the bare soil and an impoverished peo-
pie. To continue rich and prosper
Gus, and preserve the blessings OF free
government, the citizen must keep
his head clear and his heart honest.
These then are the things of highest
Importance to us:
What constitutes State?
Not cities proud with spires and turrets crowned;
No! men, high minded men,
Men who their duties know, -,
But know their rights, and knowing dare malntaln-
These constitute State.
And sovereign law, that States collected will
O'er thrones and globes elate,
Sits empress, crowning good, repressing Ill.

A Case that Puzzled the Whole Faculty.

Mrs. Milo Ingrum gave the names
Of some Of the most reputable physic-
ans in the two cities pittsburgh and
Allegheny, to whom she had paid
large sums Of money for treatment,
but she rapidly grew worse. She was
then taken to the most reputable
physicians and surgeons in New York,
but with no better success. They had
all pronounced it cancer, and declared
she must die. The flesh of her breast
was eaten away down to her ribs; the
breast bone was laid bare, and the dis
ease made its way upwards, causing
the breast to become detached from
the wall of the chest, hanging loose
from above. See page 26, of DIR. Hart
