Wholesale Deception Attempted.

The last New Berlin Ioltestieund ac-
knowledges that the CAUCUS TICKET Is
r"RNED, just as we charged last week, but
it calls it an Anti-PdihouR instead of an
Anti -Dinisioa ticket. This is bold at
tempt to deceive the people as to the real
issue this Fall. The railroad question IS
decided, ssy~ and the New Berlin Caucus
knows it. The Division is the only local
question in the county; and yet the eau
Gus stiles it, and the golsstreunes is full
of arguments and allegations against the
l'oilroad! We can assure the Anti-Di-
visionists that success by such means will
only postpone the evil day, ard those de-
ceived will soon learn the whole truth.
The ioh!streund charges US with a Di-
vision Caucus, Of which we have no hnowl-
edge whatever. Mr.. Snyder is known to
favor the Division There are four candi-
dates for Prothona.ory and three for Treas
urcr. The vote Of Divisionists viii proba-
bly, be scattered on these Offices.
Christopher Seebold comes out in Tic
same paper with "p'ec.ye' against tie
Railroad! Why, sir, you arc year be-
hind the time. That issue is past, and
most of the people know it. If you had
pledged yourself against Division, as you
are, YOU would have done what you should
do. All this attempt to revive the Rail
road excitement, is simply fraud upon the
people, to cvade the Division question,

Mr. Editor: Our little town is at present
sealed in gloom. We have Just taken from the
waters of Clinch River, the lifeless body of
little Wilburn F. Brown, the only son and
youngest child of 7. A. and E. A. Brown, Of
this place.
He was lovely boy of ten summers. He
had gone this morning, with his play mates to

gayety of childish glee, had ventured out to
dangerous distance, and seeing his fellows
floating easily along in the stream, ventured
one step further. Yet, ah; that step. Too
late he turned In vain he struggled with the
tide. In vain his young companions strove to
bear him from the current He was gone, and
in deepest CONSERVATION, they beheld him sink
beyond their reach. They ran quickly to
town;--many fastened to the spot and his body
was soon rescued from the water. Yet all the
arts of mans device to win back the soul to
earth, were unavailing; and soon, she's dead"

parents fondest hopes and killing the tenderest

we turn from the sad scene. He's gone and
many mourn him. We need not praise the boy,
for "none knew him but to love-" He possess

Teachers and class mates will long feel his alb

will miss his lively face upon the Recitation
bench and his voice in the blithesome sound of
boyish mirth. But why mourn him? Young
and .nless, he had just opened his eyes upon
the world, had tested earths most precious joys,
and though he may never more feel "a parents
fond pressure, and love honied kiss" though
he may never ROUTE with love sisters ten
