A correspondent of the Newport
Ledger, writing from Millerstown
mentions.-Thursday night of last
week thief drove to VIM. Kipp's
corn field, out along the race
ground, husked bag full of corn
carried it away. The horse WAS
hitched to the fence while the busk-
ing was being done, and chewed the
topmost rail in the bars. The thief
thoughtfuIly changed the upper and
lower bars that the chewing would
not be noticed. Suspicion rests on
certain man, and if he repeats the
theft he will find something else out.
This from the Mifflinburg Tele-
graph: The denomination OF L. E..
Atkinson for Congress by the Re
publicans of the Eighteenth district
was the best thing to do under the
circumstances. Six of tho seven
counties in the district presented
candidates-all good men, to be sure
and each, after Franklin 30 fool
ishly left the conference, insisted on
the nomination of their man. The
good sense of the conference was cor
rallied early in the fight, and, as all of
the candidates could not be neminnt-
cd, the man who had tho most expsr-
ience WAS selected, which is a good
thing for the district DIR. Atkinson
ia q man of ability and he will carry
his district by large majority.
The next Congress ought to be Re
publican. 1t is not to much to as
sert that the return of the Democrat
lc party to power In that BODY would
be public misfortune. A number
of measures of the greatest import
ance will succeed in case the Repub-
licsns are in the majority, and will
be either ignored or slaughtered in
case the Democrats are In the ma
jority- The Democrats are making
hard fight &c gain control OF tie
next Congress-. and Republicans
should keep awake and let no Re
publican district be lost DR.. Atkin
500, the Republican nominee Of thi.
tho 1Sth-district should therefore
receive the vote of every Republican
IN 1t, and no Republican who loves
his party and values his party pin
cIples, can afford to vote against him.
One of the most amusing specta-
cies IN the present campaign is tie
wild attacks OF Chairman Charley up
on Congressman Atkinson. Con
scious OF the fact that the Doctor has
been and is popular at home, and
that every day he is gaining strength,
the young chairman like o madman
dashes out his poor brains against
the walls Of political destiny. Every
time DR.. Atkinson has been the can
didate of the Republican Party for
Congress, his friends aud neighbors
in this county, without regard t.
party affiliations have given him
their sufferages. In 1882 when first
elected, Juniata gave him the une1-
pected sjority of 35l votes over
Judge! !kimmel Of Franklin county;
and in every congressional election
since that, his vote in the county was
unprecedented. His great populsri-
ty here, maintain ed against some of
the best of Junistas sons in previous
political contests IS one Of the ele
ments Of his strength in the district. ,
and contributes no little to bring
about his re nomination at every r.
publican conference. DIR. Atkins u,
1t can be truthfullY, said is not un-
grateful to his m.Ly friends in his
native county, for what they have
done, and ho has more than once in
our presence, expressed his apprecia-
ton Of the loyalty of Junista to him
The insane attacks of Chairman
Charley at this time, upon the per-
sonal character and public record of
DIR. Atkinson, are 10 say the least,
very funny. Known as he is, by ev-
cry voter In the valley, his personal
Character above rerrnach. and his
public record honorable aad cons
tent. the effects of the political nov
itiate Chairman Charley to ALLEVIATE
the Doctors friends are extremely lu-
dicrous. But Chairman Charley is
| by no means personally disinterested
in the result of this Congressional
contest. Rumour has it that he is to
be we'll rewarded. and it is for this
