emphatic it can be made and the oft.

THE Revised Statutes prescribe
that "the non-commissioned officers,
privates, and musicians of the Marine
Corps shall be entitled to receive one
navy ration daily" The marines.
however, do not receive the navy
ration to which they are thus entitled,
but substitute, 10 which beans and
bacon form, in the opinion of some OF
them, an excessive portion. Their
supply Of beans, especially. is said to
be such as would provoke safety,
even had they all been born and en-
listed in Boston. The marines are 40
effective part Of the naval force. as
their recent campaign on the Isthmus
proved, and they should have their
statute rights il the matter Of

HighwayEnen FOiled.

Several evenings ago Stephen Reno Jr.,
who lives in Slim Valley, about four miles
north of this place, rode OF a mule TO the
house of boss miner, James Will ans, who
is his father in law. Williams gave him
twenty dollars. 1t was ten O'Clock at night
when two men stepped up alongside of
Reno's beast as he iourneyed home and de-
mand ed his money, at the same time one of
tn men quickly cut the bride while the
other pulled him of the beast. Both men
laid hold OF him. He is powerful man and
in the desperate spirit in which he was,
he was more than match for them both.
After a desperate struggle in which his
clothing was torn and cut, IN the effort to
cut out his pockets. he shook the thieves off
and shouted mlrder and ria in the direc-
ton of Peter Clemens house. The high
w.ymen became frightened and ran in the
other direction. Clemens was not at home,
but his family heard the noise of the battle.
Reno went to the house OF miner Jones and
borrowed a loaded gun and walked home,
he was not molested. The mule got home
safely with the loss of the bride rain which
the robbers cut Off in the first assault that
they made.

Horses stolen.

On the morning of the 9Th inst, The
Horse and Mule Protection Company Of
Juniata county were called upon in hot
haste to look up two horses that had been
stolen from J. Rowe, who lives on the Gail
win North farm, at this place Preparations
were about completed to follow every road
that leads from the valley, when the horses
were found on the edge of the Fowls
woods near Port Royal. There are sever
al conjectures as to why the horses were
left there. One is, that they were taken
and ridden that far by two men that had
been TO this town that night. An other
conjecture is, that the thieves became
alarmed at the nearness of morning and
thought the woods not thick enough to
hide the animals in, and for that reason
turned them loose.

Communication.

Something was done to-day that is worth
mentioning to the public. During the past
three years the people along Delaware run
were troubled by mink that had an un-
known hiding place along the run. 1t vis-
tied the coops of all who lived along the
stream Last year the number of chickens,
ducks aud turkeys killed, were estimated at
about three hundred. This year it did not
kill quite so many. 1t entered the coops OF
few people and did some little damage. 1t
entered Jonathan Frey's chicken coop last
"Wednesday and Thursday nights and killed
thirty-four, not trace of it could be found
until Saturday, as it had dragged the chick
ems away. when Mr.. Frey was crossing the
run to go to work at Jonathan Keiser's he
saw quite a number OF blow flies along the
stream, he went to see what it was and
foxnd it 10 be number of chicken heads at
the entrance of several holes. He informed
the rest of us of the fact and it was agreed
that we would dig the holes open. On
Monday morning jonathan Frey, Joseph
Garman, Jonathan keiser and two sons set
to digging. We first dug ditch around
the den and r7atched the holes to see il any
thing should make rs appearance, at last a
mink yentured out OF one OF the holes and
started TO run and was shot by Jonathan
Prey. By the aid of dog and two guns
- ,,ooaaded in KillInp six full grown
minks. We hope lhis will end the career
of minks for while along Delaware run.

THE CANDIDATE.
Col. NJ. S. Quay is of Pennsylvania
Scotch Irish stock that settled in the Prov
ince shortly after the Penns came over. The
Gu ays have always been Pennsylyanisns
since they came across the sea. The father
of the Colonel was born in Chester county,
and became Presbyterian Minister of the
Gospel. He moved TO Beaver county, when
the subject of this sketch was a boy the
youth after passing through schools in the
western part of the state. commenced the
study of law in the office OF Penny & Ster-
rett, the latter since promoted to the Su-
preme Judgeship. Before he had completed
his studies he travelled in Mississippi, Lou
isiana and Texas, where he taught sch ool,
lectured, afterward completing his legal
studies at Beaver. In 1854 he was admitted
to the Bar, in 1859 appointed prothonotary
of the county place which he filed so well
that he was reelected in 1856 and 1859.
He resigned this position to accept lieu
tenancy in the Pennsylvania Reserves, then
organizing for service. While his regiment
was awaiting at Camp Wright the call to the
front, he was summoned to Harrisburg, and
made Assistant Commissary General of the
State, with rank of Lietenant Colonel.
In this position
HIS GREAT CAPACITY FOR ORGANIZATIONS
and his quick mastery OF details attracted
the favorable notice of the authorities, and
upon the transfer of this department to
Washington Governor Certin invited him to
serve as his private secretary. He accepted
and himself carried on the extensive CORE
spondence incident to the early preparations
for war. In August 1862, he was selected to
command the One Hundred and Thirty
fourth Pennsylvania Volunteers, nine
months service and continued in command
until asked to serve as S tate agent at Wash
ington. His resignation had been accepted
prior to the battle of Fredericksburg, yet he
went with his regiment into the battle, and
by
