up -four sack from the flour barrel, Mr.
Lowery quietly caught Joseph and
landed him in the lookup. He was given

taken to Dover and lodged in Jail.
Several aluable bird dogs were pois-
oned here Saturday night Mr.. James
Chamberlain lost very valuable one and
two or three others will perhaps die.
There are numerous worthless dogs here
that could well be spared, but when the
PRISONERS begin they generally select those
that are of value.
Corn is looking considerably better and
farmers are thinking that there will be a
pretty fair crop, especially in this section.

Sheriff Baker of Chester county has
been convicted Of disorderly conduct
before the Chief Burgess of West Chester,
Pa, and sentenced to pay SO fine and
costs. The confessed disorder was created
in the streets of West Chester where the
sheriff was so noisy, profane and abusive
that the police had to arrest him. Baker
has proven himself a troublesome bully
since his electionto the sheriffalty and he
has in several instances disgraced the
Republican voters who elected him. He,
however, was pot house politician, put
on the slate.by the bosses and pulled
through at the election with the gentle
men on the same ticket.

"There is no Disgusting the fact that
"the position taken by the Demo

~"through the nomination which 1t
"made, did not have the sympathy

equivalent TO saying that the Demo
cratic party does not possess the
sympathy of Democrats. Such a
declaration is a contradiction of
terms. The fact is obvious. The
Democratic platform last year was a
mass of false pretenses, false promis-
es and false appearances. Every
Democrat so understood it, regard
ing it as a mere subterfuge for the
