or The ELECTION is now close al hand,
and although not so important as some OF
our previous elections, il is still enough so
TO claim our attention. 1t is duty that
every freeman should exercise. With the
exception of the State Offices, the candidate
for Assembly is, perhaps, the most import
ant officer to be voted for this fall. Our
interests are more directly dependent upon
our member as assembly, than any officer
we elect. He holds in his hands vast
discretionary power, which he may exer-
else for veal or woe, for good or for evil.
The next in importance is, perhaps, the
County Treasurer. None but responsible
men should be elected to this office. The
difficulties we have already had, and the
expenses OF special auditors, costing the
people S150,-should be a warning not TO
elect, in future, every man who has the
presumption to offer himself for the pur-
pose Of making little money off the pub
lie. County Commissioner is also an office
directly affecting the interests of the peo-
pie. Mr.. Snyder, our candidate is, like
Mr.. Bucher the candidate for Treaturer,
unexceptionable in every respect. The
same may be said OF MIR. Rockefeller, the
candidate for District Attorney, Of Mr..
Young for County Surveyor, and Mr.. Hoov-
er the candidate for Auditor.

tremendous Hail Storm High Wlnl
and Rain.

Just as we were going to press yesterday
afternoon, one Of the most terrific hail storms
that has ever passed over this section of the
country for many years was experienced
here. The rain fell in torrents thick fast and
hard. Windows were shattered and smash
cd at a wonderful rate. Some houses in our
place has scarce a whole pain of glass left in
the sides next to the storm. The wind blew
strong, aad it rained hard accompanied with
heavy thunder The hail stones were prin
cipally large ones, and caused the pigs to
squeal remarkably loud. The full extent Of
the damage done is not yet ascerlained.
In addition to the above from the Wells
vile Patriot, route agent on the c. & p
cars informs us that hail fell on the track as
large as hens eggs. The gust came from
the West, and averaged about twelve miles
in width Fruit is badly cut up, and young
wheat damaged severely Forrest city.

First LOYe.

We publish this week, First Love Fruitess
from Thackeray's Barry Lyndon, which con-
sldered as mere composition, we think a
most admirable thing But the general sem
!iment of the piece we believe to be ncor-
rect. He says Gas general rule, nothing
comes Of 6rst love and wise and luck
y chance it is too; for ten to one the object
of it is unworthy. and the qualification of il
would make poor lad miserable for life.'
Now we don't believe one word oft. So far
as our observation and philosophy go, we are
lead to believe that as general rule, nothing
comes of any other love than a first love, ex-
cept disappointment and misery for life
First love like earliest friendships is the most
disnterested and lasting We mean that
love that steals into the heart and binds the
affections with "slken cords" which time anC
absence may weaken but not sever We dc
not mean an excitement of the passions toe
often called !ovo but the calling forth O
the purest and noblest feelings of the human
heart, that makes the wild romping CIR
thoughtful and prudent, and the thoughtless
and reckless boy, sober and manly. The
heart can love truly but once, be the objec
of its affections never so unworthy.

Power of the Telescope to penetrate into

with velocity of twelve millions of miles in

Singular Phenomenon.

A severe snow storm accompanied by light
ming, passed over portion of Maine recently
The lightning was OF a purple color, and al
times had the appearance of balls of fire, and
again volumes of flame, which exploded with
a cracking noise. A number of persons were
struck by the flames in different parts of the
body; and others were highly electrlsed-
The lightning finally entered the earth, up
roofing trees, throwing out large masses oI
frozen earth, forming chasms and hurling tc
distance rocks, stones and roots. No build
ings were damaged nor any person seriously
injured.
