the day and place, and meet me
with your two honorable men,
Riggs has acted sensibly by say
ing nothing and I venture the as
sertion he has said to no one, that
he did not say it. I think more
Of Riggs who said it and has kept
still, than I do Of you, blabbish,
unsolicited defenders Of many to
build up party Of which one Of
you hate and the other depends
for bread and butter. Now I
demand one Of two things, come
up with your honorable men," or
shut up. I dare you, or any Of
your clique, to meet me and at
tempt to prove my assertion false.
In the first place, I said nothing
against, nor had any reference to
you. You hoped in, now I am
determined to make you 60 out
on clutches of malicious falsehood.
If You fail to show up and meet
me, as I have invited Capt. Riggs
to do, I hope the public will hence
forth denounce your chaffy wind
work as q baleful blind. In all you
have said, you have proved moth
ing. You remind me of q boy
who is ready to quarrel with an

Weston, lewis County,, w.

WESTON, June 5th, I8S4.-This
being the year when the political
cauldron is boiling over in our
country, both national and State,
the general theme of conversation
is about the probability and sue
cess of either of the parties in the
contest for both State and nation
al government. Very little other
news is current. Go where you
may, nothing is heard and no
other questions are asked, but,
who will be the candidates and
who will be successful? / had the
pleasure of seeing your towns
man, Z. B. Faulkner, who was on
his way to Gilmore county to adj
dress the citizens, on last Monday.
He stopped over the Sabbath in
this place, but did not appeal to
the people of this county by adj
dressing them, and | think that
his course here has gained for him
the general approval of his politi-
cal friends. It would crafty me
to see him selected as the stand
ard bearer Of his party for Gov
ernor, and as l know him person
ally as reliable, just and correct
man, without reference to any par
ty feeling, ! am sure the interests
of all the people would be pro-
tected by his election.
The Greenback party have Sc
lected Judge Maxwell, who, it is
supposed will be endorsed by the
Republican convent n as it's candi-
date for Governor. AS between
these two gentlemen, our friend
Boyd, from his genial character
and perfect manhood, must be
successful. | knov Mr.. Maxwell
well. He is a cold, money-.nak-
ing, care-for-no-one-but-self- indi-
vidual, and is an old fogy in all
his opinions; whilst his opponent,
if Boyd, would be conservative,
yet progressive, and would meet
the requirements Of the present
wants of the people, without re-
gard to party or it's behest, with
a view only to their interests and
the advance Of every interest of
the State. / hope he may be be-
fore the people for their choice.
This is very quiet, conserve
tive community, both parties are
ably represented by the Weston
Democrat, the Weston Republican
and the Haaok- Eye, The latter be-
ing edited by lady, in the inter-
est of prohibition. All are doing
yoeman service in their respec-
tive orbits.
Affairs at the asylum are in
good condition, the patients gen.
orally enjoying good health, and
many mentally improving. The
more I become familiar with this
institution and its conduct, the
more favorably l think of it. Pa
tients are encouraged by every
reasonable and kind treatment to
which resort may be had, besides
careful attendance and daily visits
and conversation with able physi-
clans and attentive, kind service
from those having them in charge.
All persons who are unfortunate
in having friends in this institu-
ton, can rest assured that they
are well cared for, in every re-

A Destructive Waterspout


HARRISBURG, Pa. Juno l1.--A

after the train that leaves this city
at $50 had passed over the portion
OF tn road In that section the storm
burst forth, and, in the presence Of
the passengers In the rear car, car.
ried 3 half mile of rails, ties and
embankment away for q consider
able distance. The telegraph poles
were Frustrated and communication
BY wire cut of. But to avoid cal.
antilles large 6re was built at each
end OF the washOut to warn ap-
preaching trains. The waterspout
was about half mile In width, and
very destructive to grain, buildings
and fences. The loss Is not estimat.
ed BY the railroad authorities, but
will be very heavy, Passengers over
the road today were compelled to
walk around the scene of destruc-
