The Congressional Election,

It may be well to remind the managers

the regular election for members of Con-
gress is held on the same day as that for
members OF the State Legislature. The

says no writs of election will be issued be-
yond the public advertisement in the news
papers.

A NEW MODE OF SAVING BAcoN.-
About couple Of years ago we were EN-
tertained at the house of friend with n
dinner Of eggs and bacon. We compli.
nepted our host OH the superior quality Of
his bacon, and were curious to inquire the
way to like success in the preparation of a
dainty article of diet, though one that is
better fitted for the palate of an epicure
than for the stomach of a dyspeptic. To
our surprise We were informed that that
portion of our meal was cooked eight
months before. Upon asking for an expla.
nation, lie stated that it WAS his practice to
slice and fry his bacon Immediately on its
being cured, and then pack it in ito own fat
When occasion came for using It, the slices
slightly refried have, all the freshness and
flavor Of new bacon just prepared. BY this
.precaution our friend always succeeded in
Saving his bacon" fresh and sweet
through the hottest of the weather.

or two past, an article Of Family Medicine,
known as Perry Daviss Vegetable Pain Killer,
and we would assure the public that in every
instance, SO far rs we know, it has given the
best satisfaction to the purchaser. We can
recommend it to the public as ali article Of
great merit and rirtmt.
Indeed, we never knew an article of Mcdi-
cine become 80 deserveilly popular in short
a time, which is proved by the fact of its ex-
tcnsive sale, and constantly increasing demand.

Our Advertising Prices,

The l'ropretors of the IiJberiNe Ban-
ncr and ourselves have adjusted scale OF
prices for advertising, to whicl, each are
bound in honor hereafter strictly to adhere.
1t will be seen, by close examination, tia,
we have advanced the current rates n little.
This, We say in all candor and sincerity, was
essential TO insure to each party anything Of
an adequate remuneration for the services
rendered. Whilst prices in almost every
other department Of labor are advancing,
why may not those for the arduous duties
discharged by our profession be allowed to
do the same {? An intelligent and liberal
community will, we feel assured, find no
negative answer. The cost Of Hr;ng now
is far beyond what it was when even we
first entered into the business, some seven
years ago whilst the prices Of services in
our department Of business have constantly
deprecated Instead Of advanced. We can
not believe that n single patron of either
concern could be found who desires that
the laborer should receive less than the
worth Of his time constantly and labori-
ously employed and we as&lre them, upon
our honor as men, that the rates we have
established will not give us more.
OF course this arrangement will not af-
feet in any way those advertisements in
serted previous to the present issue of the
two papers, but from the present week, in
elusive, no deduction from the published
rates cam possibly be made.
1t it were necessary, we could easily
show to any candid mind the propriety OF
the course we have adopted in this matter :;
but VIC think there will be none to question
our sincerity in the general statement made.

Ills speech WAS calm, statesmanlike, and
irresistible, and it was remarkable that
while taking new views Of some of the
great questions involved in the present con-
test, his argument was in substance as that
Of the gentlemen who spoke before and af.
ter him. He was heard with earnest atten-
ton; and his eloquence excited in his hear
ers boundless enthusiasm. Feeble in frame,
but mighty in intellect, his voice could he
heard to the remotest verge Of the crowd {:
and his clear, fute-like tone, gave rare
charm to the principles he 80 ably defended
In the evening great tlrong called Mt his
lodgings to serenade him, when he made
another speech scarcely less able than his
effort of the afternoon"

IN the grocery-and not enough cups and
saucers 10 go round. What pack Q: trou
ble the poor woman is in p! She'd give her
wedding gown if she had only known of
their coming. There is mighty deal of
fun in these surprise parties, and great
deal OF annoyance and hard feelings. The
day before yesterday a very unpleasant Incl
dent occurred at one of these parties. A
merchant who has heretofore held respecta.
ble position in society was selected by some
friends TO call on. 1t was a surprise party
indeed to all concerned. They found the
husband inscnsiblc from the effects of lo-
uor, laying on the lall stairs, and his wife
with bruised face and black eve, bathing
his temples with ice water. How many
such scenes occur unknown to the world.
