Our Senatorial Candidate.

From the Fulton Republican.
The Senatorial Conference of this dis
trict met at Bedford on Monday last, and,
on the second ballot, nominated Allison
:. Edwards, Esq, of this county. AS we
go 20 press, we do not have the proceed
ings Of the conference, but suffice to say
we are pleased with the nomination.
Allison :. Edwards, Esq, our candidate
for Senator, is well and favorably known
to the people of the entire county. Mr..
Edwards was born and brought up on
farm i'm Wells Valley. Possessing fine
natural abilities, aided by liberal edu-
cation and well trained logical mind,
his nomination has certainly been a wise
one. As a Justice of the Peace, which
position he held one term by election, in
the Democratic township of Wells, he
discharged the duties with care. fairness,
and with entire satisfaction 10 all. In his
business intercourse, a. an insurance
agent, in which business he is now en-
gagged in connection with farming, he has
made many friends among his fellow
citizens of both parties. In fact Mr.. Ed
wards is dignified gentleman of sterling
qualities, honest, capable. earnestly Re
publican and one upon whom the oppo-
sition cannot say a detrimental word,
either directly or implied. He would
make an able. hard working Senator, of
which our people could lie justly proud.

Murder Will Out.

AT Greensburg, Saturday morning, a
second degree verdict was returned by
the jury in the ease of Harry Hatch,
charged with the murder of Christopher
Lore.
The case attracted much attention
because of the social standing of the de-
fendant. One morning in September,
lss2, the two young men left their homes
a. Derry Station to go shooting ON the
ridge. Each carried a gun. In the even
ing Hatch returned alone. Love did not
appear. His friends became alarmed
and the next morning a search was insti-
tuted- The searchers found the body of
Love lying near a fence in thicket. A
ballet hole in his head told the cause of
his death. Beside him lay his gun, the
barrel empty.
II was generally believed that the
young man had shot himself in climb
ing the fence, but there were people who
held suspicion of foul play, and those
who knew the details of love affair that
had crossed the lives of the two young
men were firm i'm the belief that young
Love had been murdered IL Is alleged
that the two young men, several weeks
previous to Loves death, had fallen in
love with young lady from JohnstOwn,
who was visiting at Derry. The lady ex-
hibited the kindest of feeling for both at
first, but during the last few days Of her
stay her preference seemed to be for
Love. A few days before the hunting
expedition was arranged, Love is said to
have received letter from the Johns
town girl. Ii contained an invitation to
call and see her. Hatch and Love were
apparently good friends.
Recently Tommy Hatch formed the ac-
quaintance of a young lady, a telegraph
operator, stationed near Derry. To her
several months ago, he told that it was he
who shot Love, but that his gun was ac-
cidenta,ly discharged. The story was
told to the mother of Love and she i'm
mediately caused his arrest

Rev. Zinn's Proud Record.

Rev. John II. Zinn, former popular
pastor of the Lutheran Church at Glade,
this county, now pastor of church in
Ohio, was a member of the Seventeenth
Pennsylvania Cavalry and is proud of
the record of his regiment. 1t had the hon
or Of being the escort of little Phil. Sher-
idan in his famous ride, as we'll as partic-
ipating in many bloody engagements.
We clip the following from the Pittsburg
Times:
about n dozen members of the nth
Penna. Vol. cavalry met at the court
house last evening. They came from
Pennsylvania, Kansas, Ohio, Missouri.
Illinois, Michigan and the District of Co
lumbia- No formal reunion was held,
but a general talk was had over old army
experiences. The Seventeenth was one
of the fighting regiments and saw severe
service. Two hundred of them constitu-
ted Sheridan's escort on his famous ride
from Winchester. Only fourteen remain
ed with him at its finish. the balance hav-
ing been left behind through the exhaus-
ton of their horses or through being de
ployed over the fields to stop the fugitives
from Gen. Wright's troops. The 18th
Penna. Cavalry was mustered in from
September to November 1861 and was
mustered out June Id, 1855, by consolida-
ton with the First and Sixth Cavalry to
form the Second Provisional Cavalry.
Ii fought in sixty engagements, includ-
ing Charlottesville. Gettysburg, VIII
derness, Spottsylvania, Five Forks, Win
chester, Cedar Creek, Sailors Creek and
Appomattox. The total loss in actions,
killed, wounded, captured or missing was
Sg7 and its total deaths were 81. At Get
tysburg on the first day a battalion Of the
18th commanded by Major j. r. An
drews, were the first troops on the right
of the division to receive and return the
fire of Ewel's rebel corps" Rev. Zinn

days after the battle OF Winchester and
had his prison experience in Libby, Belle

$4,000 For His Peaches.

ii. J. Shellenberger, Juniata county
farmer, raised 700 crates of peaches in
his 30-acre orchard this year, from which
ne realized over $500 That beats rais-
ing wheat, all hollow. The average ed
itor don't know much about farming,
we admit, but il don't require a very
brainy one to point out the fact that if
farmers want to make money these days
they will have TO devote less attention
to wheat and more of it to truck raising,
fruit culture and the like. The Juniata
county farmers, according TO a state
ment made to Us a few days ago, will
this year realize $4,000 on their peach
crop alone, which is equivalent to over
81 for every man, woman and child in
the county. The cultivation Of the
peach can be effected with the same
success in Huntington county as in Ju-
niata, the soil being very much similar
and the climatic conditions exactly alike.
Our advice 10 the farmers of Hunting
don county is-go into the more profit
able lines of farming, quit raising 50
much wheat, and adopt the plan of the
farmers of Juniata county, who are now
prospering as they never did before

The Land of Promise

Is the mighty West, the land that ''tickled
with hoe laughs a harvest" the Fl
Dorado of the miner; the goal of the
agricultural emigrant- While it teens
with all the elements Of wealth and
prosperity, some of the fairest and most
fruitful portions of it bear a harvest of
malaria reaped in its fullness by those
unprotected by medicinal safeguard.
No one seeking or dwelling in malarial
locality is safe from the scourge without
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. Emigrants,
bear this in mind. Commercial travellers
sojourning in malarial regions should
carry bottle of the Bitters in the tra-
ditional gripsack. Against the effects of
exposure, mental or bodily overwork-
damp and unwholesome food or water,
it is an infallible defense. Constipation.
rheumatism, biliousness, dyspepsia,
nervousness and loss of strength are all
remedied by this genial restorative.
