Virginia Iron works.


MTE, the undersigned Wholesale Grocers and
w Hardware Merchants Of the city of Wheeling,
take this method of stating to the public that have
been engaged for many years in the sale oNais and
have bought the brand manufactured by HuNTEA,
FLEMING & Co., Of the Virginia Iron Worss---thai
our sales have not been confined to the city, but have
been extended over large extent Of country, and
take pleasure in being able to bear testimony to their
uniformly good character and standing abroad-that
for finish and workmanship they will compare favor
ably with any-but especially for the substantial quail
tiles Of strength Stiffness and sOunduess they
surpassed by any other brand. We also confidently
believe that their mode Of manufacturing nails from
hammered iron, and from the solid slab is the best
calculated to give strength and toughness TO the nail,
as we'll as avoid the tendency to flaws and splitting
which are the too defects Of nails generally.

SINGULAR PnRsENTIMBNT OF DEATH
NoJSlk, August lS.--A very singular cir
cumstance occurred here on Saturday,
which has given rise to much wonder and
remark. Mr.. C. H. Gherkin, well known
in our community as Professor OF Mn'
sic, went to an undertaken. during the
forenoon, and, though apparently in ex'
cellent health, ordered his coffiui stating
that he felt an uumistak ke able PRESENT.
ment that he would die in the afternoon
The undertaken, regarding il as a jest,
took no further notice of the matter, and
10 short time forgot all about the affair
Mr.. Gherkin, after leaving the establish
ment, wont h1me, was shortly afterwards
taken sick, and a. an early hour IN the
evening was n cnrpse. The matter Is al
together inexplicabe, as Mr. q. appear
ed in excellent health, and was not sub
iect TO alterations Of intellect.

honest men of the Democratic party to
OOk atihe picture here's drawn Of men
aud by men who are seeking public
trusts, examine'it carefully, and then con.
suit their own hearts aud ask themselves
whether duty & justice viii permit them
to give them their support. tits strange
that mon Of the same political faith will
thus abuse each other, and can only be
accounted for when the fact is known
that some men belong to tho democratic
party. not from principle, but only be.

The LEAVEN AT WoRK.--The truth
sooner or later must be known. and the
fact that the affairs. of the county have
been sadly mismanaged, in many respects,
for the past ten or fifteen years, is becom
ing apparent To tho taxpayers OF the
county. 1t will not do now to re.iterate
the old charge Of falsehood against the
Gazette; the people willread what we
say and will think il worth their while to
have some better evidence Of the purity
of public officers than mere declaration
of the Eagle. With all the efforts to
save him, the present nominee for Com
missioner, made very narrow escape
and the people lacked only few votes OF
beating the central clique. If tho poo
pie of the county will but remain true to
thei- own interests, it will not be long
before they effect reform in tho man
agement of county affairs. The idoi
that party pross is to be supported anc
a few individuals fed at the expense o
the Taxpayers Of tho county will hardl!
prevail so extensively in tho future - i
has in times past. We arc pleased Il
see tho improved state Of feeling in thi
respect. All We ask aud all we expoC
is to have tho county charged fair prices
just as individuals arc charged, and no
10 have the treasury plundorod to Pc
parIizuns, ' t
We are aware that leaders of tho pars,
here waited upon MIR. Tschopp and ro
quested him TO decline, but no had tn
good sense and integrity Of purpose /
refuse all alluremenIs he'd out to him.
The result has shown that. with a littl
more effort on the part of the friends {
retrenchmont, no would have boon elecl
ed. ., ,.'-
Suppose for moment that tho Con
miss oHerU, by prudence and econom!
had saved only $1,000 year since ls4|
Al this time the savings would have
mounted interest aud all, to ovor $12 ,00I
a sum sufficient TO have erected q ia
without a dollar of taxation. That
could hayo been done, we have no doul
whatever. and whom we are told that "
make too much ado about small sums, "
have only to roply that hundreds soon
mount To thousands, and lhereis no ro
! son why any one man should bo paid
larger sum for any kind of work done (,
the county than another is willing to po
form it for, equally as we'll. The tax,
y in this county are high and will be e
!, years TO come; all that is saved in Il
;. management Of county affairs is til
., much saved to the tax payers Of tho cou

The number of votes cast was nearly
22O0 or about two.tbirds Of the Demo
cratic strength of the county. The con-
test was spirited and many aspirants aud
their friends have been sadly dissppoint-
ed at the result. ..,..,. .,....
The nomination of Mr.. Baker, on ac-
count OF the Two term principle, was not
contested. He is about as good man
as any other sent by the same party Tor
several years past. qtfa
The nomination Of Dr. Kagay is a
keen disappointment to the centraIcliquo'
and would not have taken place, had II
not been that the clique itself was no'
unanimous Eor;Mr. Tuthill. Tho latter
deserves an office according to the usa-
ges Of the purity, for no one has worked
longer than he without repining. Wheth'
err the nominee IS qualified or not, time
must disclose.
The nominee for Probate Judge is q
worthy man, we'll qualified and is dccid
edly the best of the lot. He was opPos
ed on the ground that he had already had
uffice for several years and was worth
few thousand dollars.
The nominee for Treasurer had bu
little opposition; but didtake place
was rather poorly conducted. He dis
ianced his competitor, principally on ac
count Of the fwo term principle.
The contest for Commissioner was vi
oIcntly aud holly wsged. Home truth
were told and the present incumbent, a
will be seen, came very near being de
feated. But a miss is as good as a mil
aud the Eagle breaihes more freely.
For Surveyor, we have nothing to say
! owing to o well known principle in na'u'
al philosophy. -
The nominee for Infrmary Directo
ought to have been beaten, but was save
on the two term principle. II all W
! hear is true, he is not fit for tho place
: and the people should inquire into III
facts.
Against this ti;ket, Objectionable as
. is with one or two exceptions, the Whlg
n are called upon 10 array far better lii
n of candidates. as they well can do. Tn
issue will then be presented to the vo
: ers of Fairfield county, aud we only as
them to look at the facts as they ha
# Them presented to them by the Demo(
n racy during the primary canvass, and
: with these before them, they elect tn
" present ticket, we do not see how the
can maintain that they have discharge
their duty, in placing in power such me
= as some of them have been represente
a to be by their own party friends.
