Canal Meeting on Monday Night.

A large portion of the Stockholders and cti-
tens met on Monday evening last at the Weaver
Vile Theater The object of the meeting was to
elect Board of Trustees. Many of the subscri-
bers to the Stock were not present, owing to the
shortness Of the notice given. TWAS thought that
an extension of time and due notice to the Stock
holders would not fail to secure a full attendance
and that the Committee appointed to sell the
Stock would have a further opportunity to dis
pose of the Shares to be yet taken. Every one
present acquiesced in the propriety of the action
The plan of organization was read and the
number of Shares sold reported by the Secretary.
The meeting was quite enthusiastic. Speeches
were made 10y Messrs Howard and Potter. appro-
pirate and to the point Mr. Carr also spoke of
the great advantages to be derived from the com
plction of the Canal. The Chairman, A. Shep-
prrd, Esq, having announced the books open for
the sale of Stock, several gentlemen present sub
scribed for Stock. This is the way to effect some
thing. Actions speak louder than words If the
Committee Of twenty-five appointed to sell Stock
>but do their duty every Share Will be sold before
the time arrives for the election of Board Of
Trostees, We hope aud trust that all the Stock
holders will be present on Saturday evening, Nov
9TH, and that a good AID competent Board Of
Trustees will be selected from our citizen Stock
holders. Let no man be chosen but a straight
forward business man, and with Board of clear
headed. entcrprising reliable and uell-trcd men.
every obstacle will disappear and the work be
speedily finished. ard when finished its benefits
will be soon felt throughout the whole community
If our citizens would but calmly reflect what
must be the condition of things here in few
years, they cannot with any degree of propretv
hesitate about assisting in the completion Of this

Saturday, oct 25th, TO hear Frank NJ Pixley.
Esq. Of San Francisco.
The Theater was crowded to its utmost capac-
IT, while many who were unable to gain admit
tance throngcd the windows outside Of the build
ing. The reputation Of the speaker, gained by
his canvass Of the outside precincts, had excited
curiosity TO hear the little wooIy horse" as Mr.
PiXlcy was styled by the boys.
Whatever may be the sentiments of this COM
munity upon the doctrines of the Republican
party, all unite in pronouncng the speech Of Mr.
PiXley an eloquent and mastery effort for one of
the kind. His style Of oratory is of the highest
order at all times aGablc. polite and courteous
thus gaining the kindly feelings of his audience
He was at times witty and severe now enchain-
ing the attention of his hearers by the bold de-
nunciaton Of existing political wrongs as he styl-
ed them. and then convulsng them with merri-
mcnt at some odd conccit, or by some wcll-to
anccdote lie contended strongly that the Re
publican party was not Abolition in its organiza-
ton OF in the principles it ayowed--revieNed The
present Administration-eXpl Xplaincd the position
Of the Republican party upon the Pacific Rail
road--denicd the danger Of dissolution of the
Union in the event of the election Of John c.
Fremont, and with Indignation denied that the
Republican party was sectional or fanatical con
trasted the North with the south-paid beauti-
ful tribute to the dignity of labor, and concluded
with cuIogy to the patriotism of the North. &c

more. The audience gave the most respectful at
tention during tne speech. which lasted over two
hours and when the speaker closed all concluded
that as political effort It had been exceeded by
none Of the speakers Of either party who had Wis
tied the County.
The little Woolly' made many personal friends,
and the party has gained by his excrtons in this
County.

GUTTA PERcmA FOR HORSE Shoes
A Philadelphia mechanic has constructed
horse shoe in such manner that it
requires no nails. and can be put on by
any one without the aid of blacksmith.
Attached to the shoe is a dange extending
around the hoof, and at the back Of the
horses foot is joint, held in its place by
a screw which allows the shoe to open
and close so as 20 accommodate itself tc
the size of the hoof Between the hoo
and the plate is layer of gutta percha,

and the application of gutta percha Q

THE NUMBER OF VOTERS. whole

years Of age, and to be presumed enti-

the votes cast at a Presidential election
seldom exceed 3,100, 900, leaving o.
0C0, 900 of inhabitants who do not use
their franchise. In the State of New

cccded 100000, yet the votes returned
did not much exceed 500, 900. In Mas.
sachusetts the white males over twenty.

in 1852 was only 1873, 600, showing that
nearly two-thirds Of the adult population
