Another Letter from Mr.. Shaeffer
BELLEFoNTE, PA, OCT. Is, 1856.
To the voters of Centre Co:

BELLEFoNTE, PA, OCT. Is, 1856.
To the voters of Centre Co:
Mr.. G. d. Runkle, of Centre
Hall, having seen fit to take issue with
me concerning my published statement
in reference to the twelve hundred dol
lars alleged to have been spent by me to
secure my nomination, desire to make
full explanation.
Knowing Mr.. Runkle to be warm
friend of Mr.. w. B. Mingle, land having
been informed that he was dissatisfied
with my nomination, l called to see
him at his home on the evening of the
second day Of September last. After
discussing at some length the canvass
for the nomination and Mr.. Rnnkle
evincing an apparent disposition to
treat me fairly, asked HIM for his sup
port and urged in my behalf that |
stood in need of the income of the of.
fee. stated that while living in Belle
fonte my income had been small that
boarding, rents and taxes were high !;
that my campaign of two years ago, as
well as of this year, had cost me consid-
cradle besides losing my time and
wages. 1 told him that in order to
save rent l commenced to build house
last spring and IN consequence of those
things ] was in debt and it would re-
quire all of twelve hundred dollars to
see me through, and that for those
reasons and the fact that had no po-
sition upon which to depend for live
linood Cor myself and family l could
not afford to be defeated.
In addition to the above statement l
reiterate that spent no money during
my canyass not authorized by law.

KNOW-NOTHINGIsNI.

Recent events have undoubtedly revivifed the spirit which found manifestation in the Know Nothing movement. It has cropped out most notably thus far in California, where out of twenty-four nominations made by the convention at Los Angeles (which was composed of nearly seven hundred dele gates) only one was of foreign birth. The Democratic nominee for Governor is also a Yankee.
 The San Francisco Argonaut is giving hearty support to the new movement. It says: In this city of San Francisco there will be complete American ticket-State and municipal. It will be organized by selections from all the other party nominations, Demo- cratic, Republican and independent. It will be chosen by select and secret body of in- telligent native-born Americans who pay taxes, who do not want office, who resent boss rule, despise professional politicians, and, while conceding to foreigners every privilege of our government and the full pro- lection of it's laws, claim as right that none but native born American citizens shall hold office. We shall print it in the Argonaut and distribute it extensively throughout the
 
 may have ample opportunity to consider it. As for ourselves, we favor trusting the intel ligence of the electors who vote the ticket to write it out for themselves, for there will be very few members of ''the American party" of native or foreign birth, who cannot read and write and think, and, thus equipped, with pen and ink can make a ticket for them selves.
 The convention of the American party is called for the 18th of this month at Fresno City, and the delegates are expected to favor the repeal of the naturalization laws, the ex- clusion of aliens from the ownership of real estate and restriction of immigration against all those ''not in sympathy with our government" The whole affair is curious and interesting. What will be accomplished remains to be seen. Probably not much of permanent value.

The Republican congressional convention for the First district of the State will be held in Hartford on Thursday of this week. The Hon. John R. Buck is apparently certain of a renomination The Hartford Courant says of him: MT. Buck deserves renomination, and will, we believe, receive it unanimously. It will be proper recognition for his de- votion to the interests of his constituen ts, and of his faithful performance of every duty in his official position. MT. Buck has now, after two terms of Congress, the ex- perience which makes him especially valua- ble as a representative. He has wide ec- quaintance with the members of the house, and is universally esteemed by his brother members.

Accounts of the massacre of Catholic mis- sionaries and converts in southern China show that the race of martyrs is by no means extinct. Father Terrace, who had lived for nineteen years in Yunnan, when 8 mob surrounded his house at night, gathered his followers in the chapel, gave the last ab- solution, went to the door, and presenting himself to the rabble, said: "Here am to answer for all." He was at once cut down by sabres. Father Bechet, young priest in Tongking, saw number of his converts be- headed, and then, refusing to be bound or blindfolded, offered his neck to the execu- tioners without tremor. Father Chatelet, ordered to descend to the place of execution, as hundred; of his converts had done, said: "I shall not go so far. If you want my head come and get it." The swords made short work of him where he stood.
 There are some men who don't know when they are well of, and one of them has brought suit against Judge Homer of the dis trict court in Nebraska for $50,000. Years ago the judge defended the man, who was accused of murdering father and son, and although it was proved that the man shot both of them Homer got him off with ten years in the penitentiary. The man sets up that Homer 'tallowed him'' to be tried in county in which there was great prejudice against him, and where he was convicted of mansiaughter. The other counsel secured new trial from the Supreme court and when the cases came back they were divided, he being tried in the county where the preju-

vAeARIEs5AEouT SLEEP.

A recent writer, in speaking of the
question of how many hours in the
twenty'four should be given to sleep
expresses himself with more common
sense than usually characterizes the
professional writer's upon subjects
similar to this. He says that il a
person needs nine hours sleep he
ought to take it, but that it is possi-
bic to get along with only eight.
This will probably shock some peo-
ple who think that q man who lies
in bed more than seven hours is q
drone and slugRard. At one time
the world was all awry on the sub
ject of sleep, but particularly with
regard to the hours Of rising and re-
firing. II has been declared over
and over again that an hour OF sleep
before midnight is worth two after
midnight. or course tbore is no
sense in this, for no man not engag-
ed 10 manuel labor will be tired
enough to sleep before l l o'clock, at
the earliest, if lie is at all intellectual
in his pursuits. But if the theorists
were correct man would by refns-
ing to 60 to sleep before IL or II
throw away the very best part of the
night. These cranks would have O
man go to bed at 8 o'clock aud get
up at A in the morning. They are
of kin to the people who used to say
that "he who would thrive must rise
at 8, but that he who has tbriven
may lie till T." The only sound phi
losophy for q man who is able to re-.
gulate bis life as he pleases is to 60
to bed when he is tired and sleepy
and get up when be feels refreshed.
As for the nonsense that a full-grown
man should 60 to bed at 8 o'clock in
the evening whether be be tired or
not,it is notorious fact that mans
best intellectual labor IL done at
night rather than in the day timo.
