There is some talk tbat the Supreme

are decidedly in favor of the movement.
The only thing in tbe way was tbat tbey
doubted tbat tbe Bedford Court House
would atT ird thein sufficient accommoda

question was referred, has taken an in

honorable Judges tbat Bedford can scat

while in our town in a gentlemanly man
ner tbat will be a great recommendation
to them should tbej ever travel tbis way
again. Owing to the extreme coldness of
tbe day the number of persons in atten
dance was not as large as was expected.
It the management could succeed in hav

HOW TO KEEP LOAff-B AW AT. In OC
of our exchanges we find a new plan that
is being used by s-ime business men in
Pottslown to drive loaters away from tbe
front ot tbeir stores. A firm of druggists
displaced a large placard in their wiudow.
which could be read by all w no passed
aion :
"WANTED.
Something for the young men to do
ho stand in front ot this store."
Another business matt in the same place
has had a similar card printed, which
rcaUs as follows :
"WASTED (OMEWHEKE ELSE.
The youn men who cannot find any
other place to stand or lean than in front
of this door are wanted somewhere else."
It is said tbat the firms w ho hare the
cards displayed are not troubled by baring
a crowd block up tbeir windows and
doors.

&c His health failing in a great miai
ure, he returned to his old borne, where
he bas remained ever since, beloved and
respected by tbe whole community. A
few years ago, several serials appeared in
the Somerset Herald from his pen, which
were the last of his labors, exccpiing an
occasional letter to tbe same paper, on
local affairs.
As a writer Mr. Roddy was prolific, be
ing a man of more than usual literary cul
ture, varied and extensive reading, with a
mind stored abundantly with useful
knowledge. His letters were pithy, in-t.-resling,
caustic, when occasion required,
yet fair and honorable withal.- The

a study of tbe Scriptures, with very cmi
mendable seal snd diligence.
Tbe writer remembers with profound
sorrow the last conversation be had with
deceased. He was a member of the Calk
olic Church, and desired some spiritual
consolation from Father Camon, and as
New Baltimore was tbe nearest point to
wbieh be could go. be desired some infor
mation as to the best method ot traveling
there, and tbe writer's professional opin
ion as to his physical condition. He ar
rived at New Baltimore sick and worn
with travel on Thursday before his death,
took his bed almost immediately, and
never rose again.
His end was peace. In the quiet gray
of morning his spirit took its flight, calm
ly, quietly, as though be were passlnz in
to a peaceful slumber. A great sufferer
during most of bis life. Heaven vouch
safed bim a quiet hour in which to die
be suffered no pain. And. altboucb de
nied tbe presence of his own family, or
any of bis life-long friends, his brother
and sisters have the satisfaction of know
ing that all bis wants were ministered 10
by a sympathetic brother of bis own
cburcb. and tbM in bis last moments, tbe
kindly band of woman wiped tbe death
damp from his brow, eased his acbinz
head, shed her tears for bim. Dd smoothed
his pathway down to the "Dark Valley ol
the Shaiow of Death."
In tbis connection, bis friends desire
strain to return ihetr sincere thanks to the
kind Protestant family in which be died.
It seems but yesterday that tbe kindly
face of Mr. Roddy, or "Bob," as every
ou famiii'arly called bim. was seen on our
streets, and il seems bard to realize tbat
onr old friend bas gone to that "bonrne
from whence no traveler returns. He
was a cental, social companion, kind in ail
his relations, a friend to tbe friendless, a
Good Sanuritian to tbe sick and tbe afflic
ted, and to scfteriDg anywhere, he was al
wavs ready to lend a listening ear and a

On tbe night of bis death, be intimated
a desire to be buried in the graveyard be- j
longing to tbe cburcb at New Baltimore,
which request was complied with. Nil-

RELIEF FROM oJ-PIJF.-'Sly HEAT.
The roDsoiiog assurance from tbe
Signal Office, tbat ft cold at e from
tbe northwest was .approaching to
relieve us from tbe sweltering beat
with which we have lfen oppressed
for some Pays, bas beea made gxod.
For some thinj or lortj hour prior
to its arrival we, u imagioauoa, saw
tbe eallaut Chief, dressed 10 tbe mili
ary toggery of a live. Brig. Oeb
tiding upon and directing tbe ' wm
forter" toward ice Capital, and in
our agonj we cried to bim, in sup
plicatory ierm, to hasten aluog, and
' Stand not up-ja ibe order of bis com
ing, bat canoe at once! ' Ibe cold

Our gratitude for this change is
measured by oar suflferiug fur some

tiouauce of it for tbe remaioder of

the ladies' mocst vebson associa-
. HON.
The Ladies' Mount Vernon Asso
ciation is now in annual seseioa ai
Mount Vernon. Tbe members meet
under happy auspices, and tbe re
ceipts last year so improved tbe fi
nancial condition of tbe association
as to leave aa endowment fund o!
113,000. Tbe' Mount Vernon estate
was bequeathed by Washington to
Bushrod Washington, from whom it
patssed to his nephew, John A.
Washington. In lsoH the associa
tion purchased from him tbe man
eion and two hundred acres of land
for $200,000. Since tbe purchase
manr improvements have been made
I to the buildings and ground with
out destroying the origtoal dtstincl-
ve marks. Tbe desideratum is to
provide for maintenance aad repairs,
so that the home sad burial place of
tbe Father of bis Co on try may not
suffer from decay. No one visiting
tbe Capital should fail to make a pil
grimage to tbe tomb of the illustri
ous dead. It is but fifteen miles be
low Washington, on the right bank
of the Potomac. It cau be reached
daily by a steamboat specially en
gaged in conveying visitors.
0PERATI0X9 0F THE CIVIL-SERVICE
REFORM.
Public attention is directed to de
velopments coonected with the in
troduction of civil-eervice reform in
the several departments. As yet
there appears to be no clearly defined
rule which is to be observed in ma
Itiag appointments. There bave
been examinations of applicants, and
having pursed through tbe ordeal the
aepiraie for official honors is iafo-ni-
ed tbat he nust await vacaacy. As
few die aud none resign that vacan
cy is seen away off in tbe distant fu
ture.
We bave had the assurance tbat
political influence is hereafter to bave
00 weight in controlling selec.kus.
But only a few days ago tbe son ot a
Western Initedbtates Senator pre
seated himself tor a eumpeiive exam
ioation, and it is said that he did not
stand very high, but bis fit tber tele
graphed the categorical inquiry : "Is
tuy boo to be appointed or uot: If
not, 1 wtsb to know it." Tbe young
man was kept on the anxious bench
no longer. He was appointed. Per
sons best informed say tbat be will
not be a shining light in tbe civil ser
vice of tbe Government.
MORE MURDERS IX THE SOUTH.
As we expected, -we have belore as
tbe evidence that cessation of mur
der aod violence ia some of the
Southern States was destined to be of
temporary duration. For a timo tbe
chivalry wereou tbeir good behav
ior pending tbeir prayers for recog
nition, but having obtained, by ma
king iromise tbat they' must bave
known would not be fulfilled, all they
aeked, and having depot-ed Cbaru
beilain in Soath Carolina and Pack
ard in Ljuibiaua tbey are now ready
tor a renewal of tbeir devilish outra
ge. Any denunciation of tbe Chis
olni tragedy iu Mississippi is stigma
tized by tbe Democratic prerS as
aaoiher dirplsy of tbe "bloody shirt"
to stir up a new crusade agaiost the
South. Tbe assassination of James
Law, a colored man, residing ia East
Feliciana, Louisiana, fuilows in its or
der. Tbete deeda ol blood wiil
thicken a tbu detn q-i grow mire
and mre tecore in tbe immunity
which ha beeu grauted ibem. Tbis
generation will pa away before
there will be freedom from pereecu
lioniu portion of tbe South.
THE RIGHT KINO OF TALV
When President Hayes replied to
Representative Gibson, of Louisiana,
who was urging tbe appointment ol
Mr. Urrre a naval tffier at New
Orleans, tbat "as to tbe distribution of
tbe oUces be most consider tbe
claims of members of his own party
io preference to those of the opposi
tion." be enunciated a sentiment tbat
will be approved by every true Re
publican in tbe Union. Let this be
tbe rule by which be will be guided
in dispensing Executive patronage
and there will be less danger of a
want of harmony in tbe ranks of bis
political friends. othio could be
more disheartening to those who
stood by him until be was finally in
acgorated tban to witness tbe eleva
tion of men wbe had fought bim to
tbe bitter end. Tbe Republican par
ty posrtsses within itself tbe materi
al f t a successful administration of
the Government in" all its branches.
The people bave so constitntionsET
djudgd. There is no good 175303
why tbeir yidtneut should B,ot be
