Died at Friedens. Pa, Of Typhoid fever
on Saturday, January 8 1855, Ida, daughter
OF Rev J and Mrs Welsh, in the 2lst year
OF her age Her sufft r1ng which was intense
lasted bat for three weeks, when she pass
ed away calmly as if falling asleep. As a
friend she was genial, true and generous,
and the vacancy left in the social circle of
young people in which she moved can not
ea-ily he filled She was a member of the
Iurch to which her father minister's. and
her place in the Sunday-school and choir
was rarely anoccupied. Brought up in a
home where the spirit OF pious devotion is
ever present and where the name of Him
who came into the world to bring peace and
hope To fallen humanity is revered. there
can be no doubt but that she was led by
faith To rest in Christ as her Saviour and
has thereby been made partaker in his tri
umph over death and tie grave
The sympathy that Is felt through out the
community for Pastor We,ch aud his fnmi-
ly was altesied by the large number of peo-
pie that was present at the funeral. A dis
course that was redolent of gospel consola-
ton to the afflicted family. and full of iu-
struciion for all was delivered by Rev.
Shearer of Somerset. based upon Rev 7th
cIapter, and 18th and 18th verses. G.

CAxERnx SPEAKS -DDn. Cameron bad a
long and free interview with a correspon-
dent of the Philadelphia Bulletin on Satur-
day last. in the course Of which he expressed
his views on the Senatnrship with the ut
most frankness and freedom Among 9th
er things Senator Cameron said:
THE persistent charge which is being
made by few Of the newspapers in the
State that my candidacy for reelection does
not meet with the approval of the majority
of the members of the Republican party of
our state, but that. on the contrary. but few
favor my reelection. seems TO me. if my in
formation j. correct, 50 unjust and so un-
truthful that it should be contradicied
do nor wish to be Senator from the State
of Pennsylvania unless not orly majority
but very large majority of the earnest Re-
publicans of the state desire me to repre-
sent it would be perfectly willing-and
hage been ali the time--to submit the ques-
tion to each and every county in the State
aud have never avoided the issue when it
has been stated, but have frequently coun-
selied my friends to court it, In every in
stance where this has been done a majority
of the Republicans have decided that they
are satisfied with nay career since was first
elected to the Senate, and that they are fa-
vorable TO my reelection.
I'm the county in which live, aud in
all the counties adjacent thereto. the ques-
ton has b EN- fully discussed. and no person
opposed to me has offered himself as can
didate either for the Senate or House. In
several of the counties-Lancaster particu-
iarly-where il has been claimed that the
sentiment against me WAS large. the issue
was distinctly made at the last election,
where the nominations were made by pop
ular vote The gentlemen who were known
to be favorable To me were nominated BY n
very large majority. One of the candidates
to the Senate had twice voted for me- and,
of course, | knew him personally. The
candidates for the House were not known
TO me, nor did know that they were to be
conhidates, and did not interfere in any
way in their behalf; but they were elected,
every one knowing that they would give
me their earnest and hearty support.
Il could also refer to Huntington county.
where, in the last issue. my candidacy for
the Senate was a direct one. and where the
Democrats and so-called Independents form
ed Fusion ticket There they failed. as
they have done in every instance where
they have had the courage to make the
fight.
II thiu.k il might be truthfnllv said that
not only is majority OF the Republican
counties favorable to me, but there is not
county in the State where amajority is
against me; aud | think it wouIa be Us
well if this assertion were boldly made. l
would be willing. If it were possible. to
have the test made in any county selected

Mr.. Cameron discussed the whole situa-
ton with the fullest confidence in the result
and evidently with the deepest conviction

The Bedford county Republicans are
quite wrathy just now, because of the irick
played upon them by one of their members
of the board of commissioners as follows
The majority of the board are Republicans,
but one of them, Sol E. Diehl voted with
the Democratic member and elected his
brother. Harry P Diehl. Democratic
township politician, clerk, The Repnbli-
cans are indignant over the result and de-
nounce in no mild terms the conduct OF the
Republican member of the board. The
clerk is a man about GO years Of age, is a
a f.rmer and butcher, and is the owser of
several farms. The Republicans feel badly
sold. especially as they made great eff'ris
last fall to elect maturity of the commits
sioners in order to get control Of the office.
The clerkship is by far the most important
office at the disposal of the commissioners.
Mr.. solomon L Diehl deserves TO be sent
to the dev-Ile FOR his treachery.
