CAMPAIGN ARGUS.

The last quarter of our third volume will COM
mence in three weeks from this date, and will end on
I'd November. Now in order to give our paper the
largest possible circulation during this presidential
campaign, we are willing to abate something from
the regular price of three months subscription and
at the same time commence Immediately with cam
paign subscribers, and continue till we have given
the result of the election. Here is proposition:
THE "EMPlRE COUNTY ARGUS"
Will be sent leash accompanying the order) to one
address
Single copy. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 81 so
Five copies Observation-Disclosures. 90
Twenty copies. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. 20 90
To any person senling club of twenty-five, the
paper will be sent one year.
Wepretend to make the above reduction entirely for
the good of the cause whet'le or not it be true
may be surmsed, when it is known that we do not
solicit subscriptions at our regular rates.
At the above prices we can not afford to send an
agent to collect names. Those having the good
cause at heart will render efficient service to the par
ty in this county, by spending few hours in getting
up clubs. The argus will contain all calls for meet
inys and abstracts of the proceedings thereof during
the campaign.

hibit occasional symptoms o! DISPOSE
ton TO inger still longer in the lap Of
spring, is rapidly drawing to close. II
was the longest and severesI that has
been experienced for half century, and
we heartily rejoice that lis reign OF terror
is at an end. Although our country pos
sesses every variety OF climate, The wea-
lher was >ingulaIIy coIdeverywhere, even
at the remote South. during The late win
ter. While the earth IN the North was
covered with snow to al unexampled
height, ard The streams frozen to depth
never before attained. the RIO Grande in
the South was frozen over solid enough
for wagons To be driven across, and man
ana several mules persisted from cold on
lis banks.
The advent of Spring, though not fully
recognized throughout all natn.e, IS at
hand, and the farmer is husrly engaged in
preparing hi> ground Tor the corn and oat,
crops, cheerrd and encouraged in his la
burs by the promising appearance OF The
wheat crop. Since the snow has dISap-
peared from the Garth, it has heem ascer-
tanned that the wheat is in an exceedingly
forward and healthy stale, promising an
abundant yield aud fruitful harvest.

Attempted Suicide.

We learn from the Spirit, that GoHPp
CoHimer who is awaiting his trial in the
Jail for forgery attempted to laks his own
life on Thursday, by cutting his throat
with razor ; his failure was owing to his
having cut too high TO strike The deep jn-
guar. He cut his wrists also badly.
Prompt medical assistance being called
in, he IS now in fair way to recover.
