ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.1
WAsHINGToN, April 6.-The rain and
snow, thunder and lightning blizzard of to-
day did not prevent the Postmaster General
from giving out fairly good grist of ap-
pointments of postmasters in Pennsylvania
and West Virginia. Those of the former
are H. o. Smith, at Burnside, Clearfeld
county, and the remainder, all in Schuyl-
kill county, as follows: W. H. Miller, New
RinggOld; R. S. Ley, orwigsburg; Seth
Orine, st. Clair; G. F. Dengler, schuylkill
Haven.
In West Virginia, B. D. McGinnis, vice
A. E. Smith, removed, Guyandotte, Cabell
county; Felix Elliot, vice j. c. Murdoch,

Kingwood, Preston county; Josiah Clam

vile, Ritchie county; G. II. Finn, vice II.
A Smith, removed, Spencer, Roane county
These removals are an earnest of what the
administration proposes to do for the post
masters of West Virginia, who seem to be
classed as particularly offensive in their
partisanship and pernicious in their ac-
tivity,

LADIES AS ATHLETES.
The Reception Given by an Association In
High Society One Entertainment
Which No Person Pronounced
Tedious-Clever PuDila


Tedious-Clever Pupils.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
New YORK, April 6-The Ladies' Ath-
letic Association gave very novel reception
to their friends in the gymnasium at the
Berkeley Lyceum this afternoon. A recep-
ton usually signifies dress, crowds and
stupidity generally, but on this occasion
there was remarkably little dress displayed
on the part OF the hostesses, and the enter
tainment was so varied and lively that none
could be bored. First the association ladies,
in their blue and gold uniform, did some
very pretty marching and maneuvering;
then they perched around in the apparatus
and mattresses in unconventional attitudes,
with their hands clasped around their knees
IN comfortable way, while the lassies in
their blue and scarlet uniforms went through
a lively club drill
The association ladies were first to ap-
plaud them when they broke ranks for a
run in the gallery and the girls in the gilt
tering uniforms marched into their places
for dumb bell exercise, which was very
artistically performed. Then the skillfuI
members of both classes united for heavy
work, and some very clever things were
uone IN tne travelling rings, on the ladders
and at the vaulting bar. The best work
was exhibited in the vaulting and on the
horizontal bar. The bar was fastened so
high that it could only be reached by stand
ing on tip toe. But one little blonde-haired
miss caught the bar, and without touching
the post, swung one foot up over it with
comparatively little effort, hung with her
head down, revolved around the bar several
times in succession and twisted her foot
about to it and swung again and again as if
she enjoyed it.
The vaulting bar is three feet higher than
it was a little while ago, and many of the
girls clear it at bound by touching only
one hand. They are a plucky, cheerful
lot, if they are the spoiled darlings of So
eiety. The pretty grace of motion and ease
of manner with which Miss Requa manipu-
lates the different apparatus has not vet
been acquired by any Of the pupils, but
really excellent work is done by the ma
joritY of the dainty lilies of life.

WILD DUCK FOR DINNER.
The Larder of Punxsutawney Citizens More
Than Well Supplied,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.i
PUExsUTAwNEY,A April 6.-An immense
flock of wild ducks alighted along Mahon-
ing creek, in this town, this morning, being
bewildered b. the heavy snowstorm. The
creek was lined with sportsmen on each
side for distance of three or four miles.
Hundreds of ducks were made to bite the
dust. Twenty-Five or 80 of the birds were
caught alive They would alight in the
deep snow, and being unable to rise, were
captured. One man caught 15 in this man
ner. Another fellow got 81 with shotgun,
and still another slew II with revolver.
Nearly every citizen of the town could be
seen this morning with three or four dead
ducks in his hands. 1t would, perhaps, be
undertaking the truth to say that 1000
ducks were killed in the vicinity of Punxsu-
tawney this morning, and at the present
time the slaughter is still going on with un-
abated vigor. The ducks are of several
varieties. One wild goose was caught alive
right in the center of the town.

UNIoNTowN, April 6.-John Ramsey,
one Of the suspected McClellandtown out

handed, this time as a highwayman.
Thomas R. Newell, an ex-County Commits
sioner, was stopped while horseback riding
at night near Leisenring by masked man,
who held revolver in his face and de-
manded money. Mr.. Newell recognized the
man a Ramsey by his voice, and called him
by name.
They engaged in conversation and Ram
sey lit a match, by the light of which New
ell saw that his assailant was masked. Ram
sey evidently hesitated to rob an acouaint-
ance, and after parley1ng a short time told
him to ride on, while he would go the other
direction. 1t is supposed that Ramsey has
been staying at his fathers house, near

In a letter in regard to the nomination
of Democratic candidate for Governor
of Virginia, Hon. John s. Barbour. says
i might have some personal preference
among the persons named, but really
would most care TO see the best man
nominated, and one who could carry the
state. We cannot afford to consider per-
sonal preference in the scale against the
popular sentiment. think the best
course will be to send the delegates ia
the convention unpledged, and when the
representative Democrats of the state
meet at Richmond on the 14th of August
let them compare notes and ascertain, il
possible, what man has the best prospect
for success aud let him be nominated al
the standard bearer Of the Democratic
party. II is small matter what indi.
vidual Is nominated for Governor. but il
is very important that the supremacy OF
the Democratic party in the state should
be maintained.
This advice is equally applicable to can
didates for Delaware The application o.
the doctrine Of principles, not men
will confirm the desired harmony to thi
Democratic party Of Delaware. The part,
cannot afford to be--and 1t must not be-
wrecked to crafty the selfish ends Of an.
particular man. Between the party ant
an aspirsnt for Office, the aspirant mus

the interests and ambitions o
any man or Of any set of men
The party is in a very good con
dition now. Sorrow has chastened II ant
the advantage Of this condition must no
be lost. The only treatment that the per
sonal fueds, which formerly prevailed il
the party need is silence. Per sonal crimi
