PERSONAL MEMOIRS. AS all the
rest Of the big guns In Snyder county
have been invited to furnish their
mugs and have their biographies
published in the fourth~coining his
tory, and the editor of the PosT not
having been honored with the same
request, he has concluded to come in
n drove by himself like Baxter's hog
and write his own life:
He was born early on Sunday
morning, May 25th, 1854. We say
early because this is supposed to have
been the FIRST and only Sunday morn
ing he ever got about early.
His birth did not cause the stars to
sing together as in the days of the
gods, but they stopped in their orbits
to listen to the exercises of a pair of
forty.horse power lungs with gong
whistle attachments.
He spent his early years on farm,
but took to nothing but victuals and
he was sent to school.
While at school he was general
favorite with the teacher-and that
individual did not lapk for calasthenc
exercises while the rod lasted
Some people are born anvils the
balance the hammers. He WAS an
anvil.
His early years were n continuous

He was too young to go to war and
has often expressed his regrets that
he is not now permitted to join the
Grand Army and appropriate other
fellows lies as his own experience.
lie is great hunter, but has never
been known to killanything but time.
His appearance is very striking and

he would make the greatest blunder
OF his life by mistaking him for some
other fellow he wasn't after ut all.
He mas never held any Office but

somebody to help him leave go of
that.
In general he is as slippery as the

about him that knows no change is
his purse.

EARLY MORNING TOPICS.

An ex-policeman named G. II. T. Deur-
ing OF Richmond, Va, was arrested yester-
day on charge OF attempting to bribe
Herman Joel so ms to induce him to make
false statement to Governor Lee, touch
Ing the application for pardon Of Cluverius.
Toel is the jeweler upon whose evidence
the watch key found at the reservoir on the
day after Lillian Madison's death was iden-
tified as belonging to Cluverius. Deuring
was employed by friends of the convicted
man to hunt for evidence In his behalf. He
approached Joel and handed him S35 to
color his story favorable to Cluverius. Joel
accepted the bribe and then went straight
to the Governor and related the whole cir
cumstance. Governor Lee has known of
this affair for two weeks, but did not make
1t public until after he had resptcd Clu-
vefius until the 14th of January next. The
condemned man was to have been hanged
day after tomorrow, the 10th instant
News Of bold and Giabolical outrage

Cutting was kidnapped and outraged by
two peddlers named Cunningham and
Meagher, aged "a and 90 years, respectively.
Mrs. Cutting was enciente and is In q pre-.
carious condition from the outrage. The
men drove to Mrs. Cuttings house, and

non-union employees as they left work at

the town was summoned and charged the
crowd with drawn clubs, only dispensing it
after iDjuring several Of its number. Great
excitement still prevails and 1t may be
necessary to call out the militia.
Criminal libel suits are to be brought
against the parties who originated the
stories published in the press to the effect
that Minister Manning had fallen into the

vigor and that Mr.. Manning has the aid

love her, and she asks me why9
Now, tell me what TO say.
Her charms all reasoning defy.
Her merry glance, her laughing eye
Drive all my wits away.
II Is not that she is so fair.
Far loyelier girls know,
But none who have such soft brown hair
Whose bright eyes drive me TO despair,
Or who bewitch me so.
It's not because she's learned, wise,
Or skilled in Wisdom's ways.
There's much in her TO criticise,
She's much inclined to tyrannize,
And coquetry displays.
And still love herl Tell her whyP
Oh, mol I'm not so rash.
We shall be welded by-aud-by,
And then we'll live on cake and pie
Her pa has loads of cash.

But she could get no further, for her
eyes closed and she lost consciousness.
Perhaps Arthur's kisses were more
eflicacious in restoring her than her
aunts dippers of cold water. But the
faint was not very long one, and she
was soon able to tell the whole story of
the assault.
SO there was a quiet wedding In the
cabin one day In the early summer and
the girl, who had truly earned her
right to her husband, set out with him
on journey to a comfortable home
within the borders of civilization,
where there was no danger of being
murdered by border desperadoes.
