Yours Respectfully.
Jenner X Roads, October 2. 1884.


EDITOR HERALD Saturday, September
Goth, was a gala day at Jenner. III the
morning there was a game of base ball be-
tween the students from the normal school
and the JennerIown nine, which resulted in
victory for the former. In the afternoon
there was picnic in Coyode's grove, below
the Cross Roads. and in the evening there
was grand musical and literary soiree in
the Presbyterian church at Jennertown.
Miss Eva Griffith was desirous of showing
what progress had been made by her class
in their first quarter, and the result was
very gratifying to the audience, and very
fattering TO both teacher and class. The
music, both vocal and instrumental was all
that could reasonably have been expected,
and in some cases exceeded the most san
guine expectations Of all. The literary part
of the exercises consisted of the reading, by
Miss Kate 0'Connor of "Curfew Shall Not
Ring Tonight" and was fully appreciated
by the audience. =" How Ruby Played -
was recited by Mr.. Frank 0'Connor, and
ELECTED much applause. Miss Nettie Gaurs
rendering of the '' New Chukh Organ - was
very pleasing, and eacoreo 10 the echo.
" Welded to Art was the p iece assigned
your humble servant to read. Modesty for
bids further comment. The entertainment,
as a whole, was a success, and did credit to
all concerned. Miss Griffith deserves the
thanks Of the whole community for her sue
cessful effort, and it is the wish of all pres
ent that she will ere long favor us with an
other entertainment.

MOTHER POLE RAISING.

ANOTHER POLE RAISING.
OOn Saturday afternoon, the 9th inst. a
| large number of the citizens of Quemahon-
of VIM. Zimmerman, near Horner's church,
and erected a beautiful Blaine and Logan
| pole Just as the pole reached perpendic-
ular position, large eagle was noticed cir
cling in the air, Immediately above it. rising
higher and higher, until it disappeared
above the clonds-a fit emblem of the yicto-
" which the Republican party is sure TO
achieve on the 4th of November. when
James c. Blaine. the world-renowned states
man. and his peerless associate, John A.
Logan. rising above the clouds of mud and
dust which the Democratic party has made
a characteristic of this campaign, will be ell
eyated to the highest places in the gifl oftha
American people. As soon as the pole was
firmly planted the stars and stripes were run
up, and the salutation of three cheers was
given with gnsto that attested the enthusi-
asm of the crowd. A procession was then
formed, and the entire crowd proceeded TO
the large building erected by the Union
Brass Band where a meeting was organized
By the election of " illiam Zimmerman, Sr..
as President, and John Zimmerman, Yalen-
tine Miller, Henry Shaffer. Sr., and Philip
Mowry, Vice Presidents. The President,
in brief but fitting speech stated the object
Of the meeting. when Prof y. B. CritchAeld
was called to the platform, and for one hour
entertained the meeting with an able dis
cussion Of the questions at issue in the pres
ent campaign. 1t was an occasion of pleas
ure to all, and the presence of both old and
young proved that the Republicans of this
section are deeply in sarnest,

Mr.. EDIroR II write to inrorm you of a
wonderful phenomenon that occurred at Mt.

The rumor came to Stoystown on Sunday

come small creek. Having never heard Of
the like, especially in so dry season as this,

pany with another gentleman drove out and
but far above our sanguine expectations.
Mr.. Lape says that on Saturday night,about
fifteen minutes of twelve o'clock they heard
a racket and went out to see what caused it,
when they discovered everything under
water. Everything in the spring house was
afoat. Many things were destroyed, among
which was the milk cucumber pickles, but
ter and one-half barrel of mackerel. Some
of the fish and pickles were found one and
one-half miles down stream. The spring
house wall was washed out almost enough
to let the building down and is not safe to
letstand. The owner. Philip Lape said he
would tear it down on Monday morning,
providing it didn't fall down during the
night. The water Is now flowing from an
excayation.in the groundabout the size of a
human body, as cold as ice and as clear as
crystal. No reason can be assigned for this
phenomenon. The springs were nearly dry
for the month previous to this. All
the springs on the east and north side (about
one dozen in nnmber) have an increase of
water to-day but not in proportion. The
springs on the south and west side are not
affected at all. Some subterraneous action
must have occurred in the Mount.

out
Addison township Is the place where the
Democracy talk politics the whole year
round. 1t matters rot whether there is O
campaign on hand or not, they never quit.
Nearly all the local items from Addison are
more or less tainted with politics, yet there
will be big falling off in the Democratic
vote this fall The township is being can
yassed almost daily to keep the boys in line
but some of them are beginning to spurn the
party lash, and will cast their votes for
Blaine and Logan. There is yet hope for
Addison.
There will be large falling off from the
Democratic vote in this place this fall.
There will be three, or more, Republican
votes to one Democratic vote. Cleveland is
not popular here A Democrat remarked
the other day that he looks ike a battering-
ram, while another suggested that he had
better omit the word battering',' and il
would represent his character more clearly
Blaine and Logan are gaining strength
daily. They have not only stirred up the
people of the west by their speeches. but

EDITOR HERALD II notice in a communi-
cation from Somerset TO one of the leading
Democratic papers, the statement that the
nomination of Gen. Jacob NJ. Campbell for
Congress in this (the I7th) District. is unsat-
isfactory to the Republicans ofJenner town
ship, and that he will not receive their sup
port. Being in a position to know the feel
ing of the Republicans of this township
do not hesitate TO say that this statement,
let il come from whatever source it may, is
entirely without foundation. No nomina-
ton could have been made that would have
been more satisfactory to the Republicans
of this township, than that of Gen. Camp
bell. We are proud of the record he has
made in the past as a thoroughly honest
and faithful representative, and when the
returns come in you will find that Jenner
stands as she has always stood, loyal to the
| Republican party. The same would have
been done had either of the other gentlemen
whose names were before the conference re
ceiyed the nomination. We believe in ma
jority rule, and when the majority of Re
publicans have spoken, whether by their
ballots at the primary, or their representa-
tiyes in conference or convention, the Re
publicans of Jenner township will ratify
their action at the polls.
Yours Respectfully,
