will be servicable in the family of every
man who desires to tighten the bur-

those who think everything humbug

work, will not buy it, or II they do, they
will growl aboutit. They can buy
patent thrashers, or rakers. or cult
vators. but patent wash tub is too
small a matter for them.
Let all our readers who are in the
reach of Messrs. English and Stran,
send for one Immediately.
We learn that Mr.. Doddridge. the
proprietor of Wayne, Fayette, Union

for mandatory here. and that they

Drug Store.

We call attention Of physicians, and
country druggists to MIR. Moody's adj
verlisement. Being connected with a
large wholesale house in the city, he
can supply any thing in his line at
short notice. 1t is but stating what
all know who have tried Mr.. Moody,
to say that in most, il not in oil arti'
cles in his line, he sells much cheaper
than any house in the place. We
hope he will be largely patronized.-
Give him trial at all events.

The so-cslled democratic party had

Kansas and Democracy.

The State Sentinel has al last dis
covered that there is danger that Kan
sas may be a slave state, 1t hopes how
ever that II will not be. But, sho'd
1t be, It protests aguinst the pemocra'
cy's being held responsible for so ca
lamitous nm event. As n Democrat we
join in this protest. and we think we
are prepared to prove that it is not re-
sponsible.
When the bill which admits slavery
into Kansas passed the House Of Rep
resentatiyes. a majority Of the Demo-
cratic members from the North voted
against II. When il was first propos-
ed. many, If not most Of the inhuen-

A careful analysis Of the patrons Of
the shows that annually pass through
our county. robbing II Of thousands Of
dollars. and poluting our youths, wo'd
help to place proper estimate on
them. Who are they? 1t is not con-
elusive evidence Of easy virtue. that q
man or woman attends them, yet it is
undeniable that all the lewd men and
women in the country do attend. We
gave great offense to the patrons Of one
Of the nost abandoned women in the
world. by alluding few weeks ago to
the well known fact that she always at.
tends. So do her patrons. So do

such exhibitions. The lovers OF virtue
and those who would shield youth

themselves against all performances.

are they any better for young men.--
The only difference is that women do
not regard lewdness. in men. as dam

Yet the love Of sport is so great that

counter the known dangers ofthe show,
rather than deny themselves the graft
