The Meeting mt Kyserville.

One of the most spirited, old fashioned Wing
gatherings which has been held in this region re-
Gently, was that at Kygervlle last Saturday.
The village proper is considerably tinctured with
Free Solism; but it is surrounded by good and
substantial Whig farmers. The Free Soilers in
the village erected pole short time since. The
Wings determined to do likewise. The Ladies,
who are ever on the right side, and ready to labor
in good cause, very naturally concluded tha (
persons who attend such gatherings had stomachs,
as well as other people; and, with their charac-
teristic patriotism and benevolence, prepared q
sumptuouS feast, for all who chose to attend and
partake of these delicacies. Chichens, Meats Of
various kinds, Pies, Cakes, Cheese, &C., were
provided in great abundance-enough to feast
double the number present.
About five hundred persons were in attend
ance, and the enthusiasm is represented as sur
passing 1910. A beautiful pole, 150 feet long
was erected, under skillfal management. A
streamer, bearing the motto, "Our Union," and
beautiful flag, with the names of Scott ant
Graham inscribed upon It's ample folds, float from
the top. The meeting was addressed by MessrS
Evans, of Middleport, and Gushing, of Gallipo.
lis. The speech of Mr.. Evans is highly eulogized
Notwithstanding the rain and mud, the whole af
fair passed off admirably, and will not fail to ex
ert good influence.

TO Postmas,ers.

More than three months have elapsed
since we assumed the control Of the Tee.
graph. The paper was sen. to all persons
whose names were found on the subscription
list Of the former proprietor. Many Of these
names, we have reason 10 believe should
have been stricken off long before wc com.
menced but, for some reason, they were
not.
One or Two pos.masters, to whom we feel
extremely grateful, took the wodble to ascer-
tain Immediately who desired to continue
and who did not, and notified us according.
ly. Others have suffered our paper 10 con.
inue for three months, and, for nugh, we
know, nigh, permi. us to send i. to the end
Of time without ever once notifying us that
it"is no, taken from the Posl-offico." With.
In the post week we have received notices
from poslmassers to discontinue eight or ten
papers-s.aling that the Telegraph has no.,
been taken out Of this office for several
months" Why, then, did they not notify
US sooneri Do these poslmas,ers imagine
lha, ii COSTS US nothing 10 publish a paper.
and send it all oher The country, 10 be used
by them as waste paper. They certainly
appear 10 act on this supposilion.
We have been informed within the los,
week by persons who ough. to know. .ha,
some Of our papers are still forwarded TO
persons in this county, who have no, resided
in the State for eighteen months. The post.
master who would permit. such thing is, to
say The least. unfi, for the office. We hope
these things are no, so.
We ask 1t as favor ,ha, all pos,m as,ers
in this county particularly, will notify us al
their very earliest convenience of any dis.
continuance giving the reason why the
paper is not taken from The office; as we
cannot afford 10 waste our papers.

The Club Meeting.

One oi The best meetings we have attend.
ed during the presen. campaign was held on
last Thursday evening a. The Coun.house
in Pomeroy. So incensed were the Wings
a. the disrepu,abIe course,pursued by Messrs.
Tod and MediIl that they determined 10 have

The British Party.

Formerly the great argumen Of Locofoco
stump, orators consisted in denouncing the
Opposite party us "Brilish Wings" Wha,
is The reason We hear nothing OF that sor,
nowl Nobody says "Bri,sh Wing" a, all.
They seem TO have entirely abandoned that
Democratic thunder. We have though,
that this abandonment might have been ow-
ing 10 The fact that Of late great many Brit.
ish newspapers circulated in this country.
and it is an easy matter Tor any one who de-.
sires 10 know which is rhe British parry, To
ascertain that fact beyond the shadow of u
doubt, from these same British newspapers
and periodicals.
Last week, we published a few extracts
in proof Of the asserlion-,hat the British
press favored the election of Gen. Pierce,
in order 10 break down American ma nufac.
lures. A cerlain Democrat ,hought our
proof was rather limited. This week, we
have made several additions thereto and,
if the extracts 10 be found in The frs. col.
umn on our frs, page are no. sufficient,
we shall endsavor TO find room for "few
more Of the same Sort" This material is

Hemlock Furnace, $4,000
Licking Furnace, with usual appur.

Washington Furnace and properly

Clinton Furnace, 80
These are but few-and behold the awful

these establishments with The prices for
which they were sold.
Washington Furnace was sold for The
pallry sum Of $650-cosl $4,000.
Clinton Furnace, which brought The nea,
sum Of $50, actually cost $4,000.
This is one of The results Of The Tariff of

Mr.. Editor.-In my crop Of Wheat in
1850, my Overseer, Of my plantation IL
York District, discovered, as he thought,
a new kind Of Wheat. On being shown
a head Of it, I told him It was Barley;
how it came there we are at loss to say.
He takes this bunch, yielding about 400
grains, and drills in my wheat ground
which he manured with Cotton seed
About one third of it did not yield in
proportion to the balance, being planted in
rather wet ground--this crop was little
short Of three pecks, last fall the same
was sowed in thin fresh land, some in the
drill, the balance broad cast, which has
yielded thirty bushels and half well
cleaned Barley. This crop exceeds your
fine beets, turnips, or corn.
