[rhe Cob-Pipe is here printed, next after -No. 4. of the Historical Sketches of Dutch Fork, in order to explain the plan of the vol ume proposed to be published during the coming Autumn. This story was written more than thirty years ago, for the purpose of portraying the old-time choppings and log rollings and carding in the Datch Fork. The other stories will appear in the volume,-each one annexed to the sketch which it will aid by illu>tration. . In the month of January 1843,a cornet with an extremely long tail was seen for the first time, in the Dutch Fork. Whatever may be said in support of the claims put forth by various Obser vatories for the honor of priority in the dicovery of this comet, I boldly asser1 that Mark Moyer, a distant relation o mine, was the mortal who first receivec the image of this phcuomenon upo: his retina. His description of the dis. covery was in the following character isticlanguage delivered the next da3 at St. John's church to a group of hi! acquaintances who, struck with th< scratched condition of his hands an( face, threw out the imputation, that hi had teen roughly handled in some re cent fight. - "'id M r-- IC' .u description, stain . in upon the ground and fluttered with his ho hands like a bird attempting to fly. of "Which way did you run**' asked Dc one of his companions. th 'Down tow'rds Crim's creek," replied Mark. "And acrost it?" enquired another, oc.king Mark squarely in the eyes. "Yes, Sur, clean acrost it, before I stp,4 I was so skeer'd I didn't know we.t I was doin," an" red - "I know'd it" exclaimed the first h questioner, springing up and snapping h< his fingers, "Ha, ha, I know'd it! I'll T jest bet a pair of bran new martingils, ai fellers, dat. Muk's bin a stayin' all night at de widder HalberdoppelS-." b -'Well, whar else had I to go to?" pleaded Mark, with great humility. "Wy, wusn't Adam Epting's not more 'n tree huedret yards off, ware we all goes wid de gals to his spring afore preachin' begins ?" continued the questioner. "Yes," remonstrated Mark, "but right in de direct-ion tow'rds whar de ting was." "Well, gentlemen," began a young fellow with a qjuizzical smirk playingt about the corners of his mouth, "all I wants to know is dis: how gittin' skeer'd at de Milky way, and runnin' over to de widder Halberdoppels kin scratch up a mai's face in dat sort of a way." This insinuation was fellowed by a loud laugh; and M1ark seemed to be at the mercy of a set of relentless jokers. "Oh, I kin explicate dat for him," said a youngster conspicuous for his new homespun vest brillianitly checked with' stripes of copperas and black crossed by indigo and a trace of'Turkey red. "You see, Nancy HalberdopPels has got jellies 'bout him, and last night wen he conld n't pacify her, she fell to sratchin' of his face. I dow t s'pose de gal is to be blame 'd, ef it 's true wat folks says 'bout him." "I 'clare boys," r.emonstrated Mark, I'm in dead yearnest 'bout dis; and ef von will listen to mte, I'll tell you all bout it. It wats so dark in de woods *dat I could n't see my way, and I did i' run fur afore I struck my foot agin' a -.stmp, and pitehed head foremlost into a bunch of brambroo briars. Dlat's de way my face and, hands got seratch'd. I n ever looked back ont,eIl got to Misses Halberdoppels, and bustiu' open de door I fell into die house flat on my face, prustratedi in body and sperit.

Naney was s4 overtoolk wid de histurricks dat she so onl my lap de whole of de blessed live long night: and I hain't had a wink c eep. I left old Miss Halberdoppel Eadin' her Deteh Bible, and I cot cluded I wouhl come by de church, a1 dare wvas preachtin' here to-day, and tei de people wvat I ,eed. For may part, believe de Day of .Iedginht will com along here by sunseCt to-day!" Notwithstanuiing this solemin wari ig Mark Moyer was most indecorousi derided 'oy the whole congregation, eludinIg the parsoni. However, as t rs'e twilight gradually deepened in .darknes a long pale streak appear< uonf the wvestern sky. Mark Moy was right,-there it was sure enoug TosomeC not readily moved by sigi of terror it maitained a steady, froz position ;but others in whose eyes tea were easy to start. soon observed t wrigling mnotionl described by 1 ,p-s.om hunter of St. John's chur< forest. Upon wicked young people, like Mark Moyer and Nancy Halber doppels, it brought shivering dread of the Last Day. The oldest persons re collected having- heard their fathers say, that "sich a somethin' was seed in the fermament, jest before de war of de Iutepentency broke out," and predicted robberies and battles. These forbcd ings were strengthened by a rough cen sus of the Dutch Fork, showing that there were at least twoyoung men to one young woman,--an incongruity which it was thought could be corrected only by war. Mr. Samuel Burns, a stranger who for two years had been employed as schoolmaster at St. John's church, informed his patrons that the object now exciting their wonder was a: comet; and that philosophers considered the world in some jeopardy, whenever it was approached by one of these bodies. He was a pedagogue of rare plausibili ty, and had so ingratiated himself into the good,opinion of the old folks in the neighborhood - especially those who had pretty daughters-that he was held in deadly detestation by the swain. He was an ignoramus, as is generally the case with itinerant schoolmasters, and imposed upon the inquisitive ignorance of the farmers by an affectation of learn ing oftentimes extremely ludicrous. Now and then, he excited momentary suspicion of incompetency, when he failed to give satisfactory explanations * t there be rela this story. Mr. Burns fell from mus aor, perhaps unjustly, and the comet as n '43 is enown to this day in the do, itch Fork, as Mark Moyer's, just as blov one of 1682 is distinguished by .the b me of Halley's. blac the same-Sunday on which Mark poS yer related his adventure, a young no, In and a young woman were riding to- Fro .rds her home from St. Jeln's church, Abi Ler the services' were concluded. pla though it was a cold day, and they per several miles to go, their shivering Bc ,rses were reined into a slow walk. so' te young man in his general appear- M ice was nature's model. He wagtall sid the utmost of six feet; and his Saxon ter Lue eyes though they sometimes fiash- exl I with indignation oftener beamed ch: 'ith generosity. His ungloved hand mi ad swarthy visage showed that hus- Bu. andry was his occupation. His name ras Abram Priester. The damsel was fair to look upon. To veil concealed her face. The rim f her bonnet with the red ribbon tiedTR udder her chin encircled a smooth fore iead shaded by the blackest hair, and :heeks over which blushes were con inually sporting with the smiles that n >layed around her mouth. There was' t Sfire in her dark eye and a ready poutw urking about her lips that gave warn ng of a will to brave much- parentalu ppposition in favor of a lover. Ah, Yetta Elfins was the girl for Abram Priester! He had often said so, and vowed to overcome every obstacle op posed to his gaining her hand. There were difficulties, but not with Yetta. Her parents, infatuated with the pe datry of Samuiel Burns, intimated ~ their willingness that he should marry i teir daughter, by forbidding his rival, Abram Priester, to enter their house. t Yetta was not equivocal in making known her preference. She darted fro her eyes flashes of warning which, if they had not increased her beauty to a degree irresistibly fascinating, would, perhaps, have repulsed the peda gogue, but, as it happened, she en chanted the poor fellow more and more 'c her manifestations of displeasure. He had the good will of the old folks on his side, and he resolved to win her by mportunity. Ah, Samuel Burns, Samuel Burns, you are a rock in the current of true loe, and I will have to blast you! It may well be supposed that the conversation of the lovers, as they rode fro church, was painfully interesting. WWhen.they approached as near to Mr. Eliln's as A bram could venture, they paased in the road, and continued a little while longer the conversation that had been so absorbing to their feelings up to the moment when they mut part for the present. S"I wonder wat's got into de olt -man," began Abram Priester, "dat he won't let me go into his house." s Wv, Abram," answered Yetta, - p i 'inow,-or you ought to know, slit's becase he don't want you to .mamry me." II "But I will marry you, Yetta," cried ee Abram passionately. "I will have you, Yeta, confound me ef I don't." 1- "Well, goodness, sakes alive, A bram, y ddon't cuss and swear 'bout it after dat I- sort of a foshion,-and dat, too, while reiridn' away from hearin' preachin' to Jess have a leetle patience, and yot admay have me. I'm sure ef it comes t< ererdde wust we kin run away and git mar h. ie. ne.I 'lare, Abram, I don't believi its you have ever tought 'bout dat." en "Yetta," replied Abram, "you knox trs very well dat I have always lived i: hee*ooedience fo my parents.

"Ain't you asbamed of yourself to talk dat way to me, right here in de big road? No, wen I gits ] married I mus have a big time of it.

Here Yetta lost her powers of utter ance, and broke down with a deep drawn sigh. "Very well, Yetta, I'm willin' for anythin'," said Abram. "Very well, now we'll see," remarked Yetta. "Have you tought 'bout wat we was plannin', wen we met last week? Do you tin1 it's a goot plan? Will it do?" A shudder ran through Abram's frame, while he delayed his answer.

CiNCI NATTI, May 20.-When the jonvention met this morning a chorus rom the Farmers' Alliance song book )receded by prayer by the Rev. Gilbert Delamater, the Greenback Ex-Con ;ressman. Delamater was roundly ap >lauded when he rose to pray. Fre luent and earnest amens from the au hience punctuated the invocation, and then the Kansas Glee Club regaled them with a humorous ditty. Reports rom committees of arrangements and eredentials now helped to kill time pending the exciting developments that many looked f-r when the plat form committee was.ready to report. A collection was taken to reimburse Chairman Power, of the arrangement committee, S365, which he had ex pended and on of which he had re ceived only $36. The report of the cre dentials committee showed 1,417 dele gates present. The larger delegations were: Kansas 407, Ohio 317, Indiana 151. A LUCKY CAROLINA DARKY. Senator Peffer was then presented to the Convention as permanent chair man. An appeal was made from the platform for funds to pay. the home r i legate from u e tatic efeated on the and every man that came to venl onvention should have a vote and dia it counted. The five minute rule hir ?eeches was adopted. A recess clar aen until 2 p. m. plai ac sen the Convention reassembled a tra from L. L.

The demand was re- g ed and continued from time to for during the reading of a number iiscellaneous telegrams. natius Donnelly, chairman of the mittee on resolutions, climbed de n the rostrum at this juncture, and " d a whirlwind of excitement an- t uced that he was there to report tic t the committee on platform was a t t for the organization of the Third t)i 'ty. He gave way to Robert Schil-ti r, of Wisconsin, secretary of the t: amittee, who read the platform as a The Platform. 0 irst.

Sixth. That 'he members of the cen tral committee for each State where there is no independent political organ ization conduct an active system of po litical agitation in theii States. Additional resolutions, not part of the platform, were presented. They recommended the favorable considera tion of universal suffrage; demanded that treasury notes paid soldiers be made equivalent to coin ; favored an eight-hour day, and condemned the action of the World's Fair commission with reference to wages. The name of the new -party, "The People's Party of the United States," elicited a magnificent outburst of ap plause, and as each plank was read the cheering was renewed so frequently that the great hall seemed to reverber ate continuously. When the resolutions re i mending universal suffrage to favorable onsid eration and demanding payme of bounties on a gold basis were read, t e former met with rather a chilly recep but the 1l . -.u woul' "mig ced that the pen- or th to the soldier mem- evad ee with an inquiry A ,isfactory, and on his tion was adopted unani- then first 'LOLS STAGE PLAY. of th .s, a lank six-footer in histc had electrified the coml ng the Donnelly A ong weird whoop of exul- 1C n, was conducted to the platform, Dill to the interse delight of tLe Con- Cc ion repeated tho unearthly In- F] -like trill.

A HOWLING 31013. Pe 'he Convention went wild and the egates, mounting tables and chairs, Rc r shouting and yelling like Co-| nches. A portion of the Conven- D. n, in thunderous chorus, sang to the ne of "Good-bye, my lover, good- D e," the words "Good-bye, old par- H s good-bye," and then a doxology. the forest of flags and State baners H at had gathered with their bearers ou'nd the trio, a Kansas man, on the L oulders of two colleagues standing c hairs, raised the Kansas banner R id held it aloft above all the others. A tumult, surpassing in its remarka .e suddenness and vigor of anything iat had previOusly taken place in the onention, lasted fully a quarter of ri hour, till it ceased from sheer ex austio of the delegates.3 Several delegates*seconded the adop on of the report, one suggesting it be( y a rising vote. "Question! Question!" nine from all parts of the hall. But the cut-up enthusiasm had to have vent, ud one after another of the orators elli'ved themselves, delegates from ie to time calling on prominent men, Seaver, Willetts and others. "Previous question," shouted dele atss, but it had no effect on an irre resible Texan, who was bound to peak his piece. When he had finished hee hairman's gavel fcll like a trip hammer, and order was finally re The platform proper exclusive of the resolutions, was then adopted by a NO PnOHiiRTION WANTED. Delegate Miller, of California, threw in a bone of contentionl by offering this Resolved, That we favor the abolition of the liquor traffic. The confusion became worse con founded. Fifty orators were clamoring for rcognition, but the first to succeed was chilling, of Wisconsin. He op posed the discussion of the question of prohibition at this time. Schilling declared that the resolutior proposed by Miller ha'd been fully con sidered and voted down by the comn mit tte on platformi. To spring it now was plainly throwing a firebrand into the Convention, and in his opinion it was a deiberate attempt to cause a splt . in the party. * The pressure at this time for recogni tioionwas extraordinary. In 'desperation t heI-air proposed to give ten of the most vociferous delegates who were crowded about his desk clamoring foi reconition one minute each, and hununred watches were pulled out t< mae sure none of the speakers ex ceeded the sixty-second limit. The prohibitioni amendment wa o verwheiingy defeated. The esolutionls were then adopted l with only three dissenting votes. At this juncture J. B. Weaver rt ef lieved Chairman Pefler, who was wor out ith his fruitless efforts to preserv order, and had, besides, to catch th train for Washington. Reolutios against trusts werechol ed off by a point of order raised by Schilling, of Wisconsin, that all resolu tions should be referred to the commit tee on resolutions without being read. Then the Convention got down to business again and the matter of choos ing the national committee was taken up. Chairman Weaver declared a wel come rec -ss to enable the overheated, exhausted delegates to select members of the national committee from their respective States. After the recess the roll of names was called for members of the national committee, the' Convention adopting the innovation of appointing three members from each State, instead of one member, as the old parties have done. Alliance Congressman J. G. Otis,. of Kansas, nominated H. E. Taubenick, of Illinois, as chairman of the national executive committee. There was a great outburst of cheers when Taubenick's name was men tioned. W. R. Lamb, of Texas, se conded the nomination, saying he had watched Taubenick's course and was satisfied. Taubenick was chosen by acclamation. Loud calls for Tabugnick finally brought him to th rostrum, where he made a brief, but very manly and modest speech, thanking the delegates. In conclusion he said they were stand ing on the brink of a conflict between capital and labor and the ":) v.c ed he worse it the I be.

"In reply to the first I can only re peat what has been already published, that I receive every morning written r-'ports from seven watchers which show the condition of every ward each hour of the night ; that the matrons and supervisors make daily written reports from seven watchers which show the condition of every ward each hour of the night ; that the matrons and supervisors make daily written and verbal reports of their respective depart ' tant phy sicians after the mo ' ton give me written and verbal ts of the condition of patients; that I a daily consultation with them in re gard to the treatment of patients, vis itiu those t.. for ;hat the by laws wisely leave to iscretion of the superintendent god i requency or time of his visits of eved tion. to the eferring to the second charge you swing 'The man Milne whom you green Lcterize as a crank and who Doc- and ai orbett says is morally insane, by We & h I undarstand that he has a are 11 ved nature which would not ticket ate to gratify any passion or appe- grand this man was permitted for broth ths to have a key which would pass i the doors of the female wards' and's eply to this I beg to repeat my pink al that Milne was 'permitted' to nor 4 a key, or that he is morally in- packi in the meaning of having no enter e of right and wrong, or of yield- eral l to the blind impulses of brutal circu ion. On the contrary during his No inement here his deportment to- Talb ds women has been uniformly hurd er, respectful, deferential. It has inspi proven that in point of fact he quot er was in the female wards except " n employed in painting and then ays in the presenceof an attendr T or of another painter hired to as H It is also well known that the ex or doors are secured by inside bolts ich no key can operate. I feel con t that calm and impartial consid tion would show that there were T fly no 'opportunities' which would can use the 'mind to revolt or the imagi- adn ion to si,ken.' As this charge is mnal dnly supported by Dr. Corbett'S tha aracterization of Mine, I beg to call wel ur excellency's attention 'to the ac- E Enpanying letter toshow-how-far you- ' isunderstood or misconstrued - this St eaning ; "In your letter requesting' I resignation, it is stated that you are Co rced to conclude that you do not Cal sh for such trial." The- only trial ] rerd me is one by the Governor. gli t by-laws of the institution give the ] gents the right to elect the super- fre~ Ltndent to hold his offce at the pleas ee of the board. The constitution th Lves the Governor power to appoint siperintedet, 'with the advice and Li nsent of the senate.' I hold that ar ere are only two courts competent try me. By the first I have been fr oonerated after thorough eiaminationi fhe testimony. Trial by the senateC s not been offered. After mature ", onideration of the whole matter Iy eel constrained to decline to tender my 'esination while the:e are charges' gi ainst me. I .trust your excellency a lll pardon the suggestion that there meains but three solutions of this un- s laasant controversy : The withdraw 1i of charges or impeachment before be senate of the State, or summary dimissal from offie by the Gouernor." The Governor replied : "As you leave me no alternative I hereby notify you that you are removed as superin tendnt of the lunatic asylum, and order you to turn over the offie, etc.,-~ to Dr. Thompson who will assume temporary control of the institution." Doctor Griffn was intervied ta-night by a News representative. He stated that he believed he had been vindicated by the people, and his first ntention was to resist the Gover nor's action in the' courts. On reflection he decided to vacate, and will go either to Charleston or Darlington. IDR. GRIFFIN~ TURNS OVER. [The State, 22nd.1 Yesterday morning Dr. P. E. Grif fin, as soon as he could arrange all necessary matters, formally turned over the management of the asylum to hs temporary successor, Dr. J. L. Thmpso.
