Of twenty. .one and twenty-five. The
number of voters between the ages OF
twenty one and thirty is believed to he
one third of the voting power Of the
nation. On these men the stainless
record Of Governor Cleveland's life as q
public servant will have great weight,
and involuntarily will come the terrible
contrast of Blaine's proved venality.
The young men this year, irrespective Of
party, are for the honest candidate AZ
against the dishonest one, and that is
why Blaine and his party will be
overwhelmingly buried in November.

William Weeder, member of the
Ephrats mountain gang Of thieves, whose
term Of Imprisonment 10 cur Jail will ex.
ptre on Saturday, will not regain his
liberty on that day. He was arrested in
1881 for a burglary committed in Ephrata
township, aud received a sentence of four
years at the April sessions of 1881. For
good behavior several months have been
deducted, which would release him on
Saturday. Before the arrest of Weeder,
Joe BuZzard and Diller Clark, q large
number of bur laries were committed in
the northern part of our county and Berks
county. After Weeder's arrest great
number of stolen articles were found where
no had secreted them. Among the
burglaries committed was one at the store
of II. X. Hull, at Sinking Springs, Berks
county. MIR. Hull identified some gloves,
coats and other articles among the effects
Of Weeder as goods that had been stolen
from him. He made complaint at the
time before Justic Daniel PETER, of Sinking
Springs, and this morning Alderman
Spurrier received warrant to serve on
Weeder, charging him with having com
mitted a burglary on December Is, 1880,
The alderman lodged a detainer with
Prison Keeper Burkholder and on Monday
Weeder will be taken to Reading and
lodged in the Bsrks county prison. Alder
man Spurrier aud Constable Eicholtz, who
were present when Dir. Hull identified bis
goods. will attend the hearing at Justice
Peifer's as witnesses. Abe and Isaac
Buzzard are also charged with the
same burglary, but there is no evidence to
hold them.

Returns from Tuesdays election in West
Virginia come in slowly, but now that the
| smoke il clearing from the field it may be
| seen that the Democrats have scored a
signal and, under the circumstances, n
remarkable victory. They have verified
their three claims first, that fusion was a
failure second, that they held large and
sure vote in reserve, and third, that q safe
Democratic majority exists in each Of the
four congressional districts The CON-
gressional elections do not come off until
November 4, but the returns indicate 80
large a majority in each as to make the
| result foregone conclusion. The
majority given yesterday can only bs ap
proximated, out the indications are now
intsllible. The vote has crept TO over
10, 600 more than the anticipated lao, 600,
| showing heavy increase of population
and the large Democratic contingent.
The result is comprehensiyely shown by
congressional districts, which have bsen
placed as follows by the Democratic state
committee from official, semi official and
estimated returns

10, 600 and Chairman Cowden comedies a
Democratic gain, but a week must elapse
before every county il the Third district
can be heard from. IL Is a notable fact
that while the Chesapeake & Ohio labored
to defeat Wilson, Cabell county its head
quarters show a gain of 500 for him. The
most conspicuous feature of the returns is
the complete redemption of the First or
Metropolitan districts. General Gotf
carried it by !, 800 in 1882 and it has now
whirled over, giving an average Demo-
cratic majority of 1870 Goffs defeat by
Judge Brsnnon, in November, is sure.
The state will return solid delegation Of
Democrats to Congress-.
In the Legislature just elected the
Democrats will have good working ma.
jority in both houses. Tho fusion will
lose them about eleven members, which
loss will not be appreciable. The total
result is hailed as sweeping victory by
the Democrats and bonfires were glowing

A York correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun saws he recently visited the home Of
the late Judge Black and was gratited by
an inspection OF his library, which remains
just as he left 1t. 1t is u cheerful, cozy
apartment, with bay window ON the
south eide, from which may be had q
charming view of the lawn and a corner
OF the elegant orchard, while beyond is an
exteuded visw OF magnificent country and
q fine panorama of York. A fine serpen-
t;ue drive OF half mile, or ut the base of
the lawn, is the beautiful country seat of
the Hon. Chaupcey F. Black, lieutenant
governor of the state. The judges library
is expensive, and the room has a home like.
comfortable look. The walls are adorned
With number of choice engravings and
several portraits, among which were those
OF Wa hingtoD, Jefferson and Buchanan.
Oa the mantel is handsome French
clock which has a very interesting history,
making it OF inestimable value to the
family. The favorite walk of the judge
used to be the long smooth terrace in front
of the house, near the drive approaching
the mansion. Ia the centre of the town is
a handsome little chapel, which Mrs.
Judge Black had erected some years since,

The Philadelphia board of public
education have decided to make sewing a
part of the regular instruction in second
ary and grammar schools for girls in that
city. This is step in the right direction.
BLAINE should promptly bottle bis
| magnetism. SO much, however, has been
poured on Ohio and with SO little result
that it is feared there will not be enough
to go around in New York, New Jersey
and Indiana.
THAT Blaine WIS not totally rejected in
Ohio simply proves that he is not distrusted
In the Buckeye state TO the same extent as
he Is in the East where he Is better known.
After New York empties ils viais oi wrath
on him in November, thste will not be a
square inch of surface left Of his political
reputation.
He laughs best who laughs last. The
manner in which the Republican majority
in Ohio is lesseniDg, while the Democratic
majority IN West Virginia is increasing,
has put sudden check on Republican
hilarity that vividly recalls the manner in
which tho festivities at Belshazzar's feast
were interrupted by the Lsed writing on
