HUSK BEDS.

No one who has not tried them knows the
value Of husk beds. Certainly mattresses would
not be used If husk beds were tried. They
are not only more pliable than mattresses, but
more durable. The first cost is but trfing.
To have husks nice they must be split after
the manner of splitting straw for braiding.
The finer they are split the softer VIII be the
bed, although they will not be likely to last as
long as when they are put in whole Three
barrels full we'll slowed in, will fll good Fsiz-
ed tick, that is, after they have been split.
The bed will always be light. the husks do not
become matted down like feathers, and they are
certainly more healthy to sleep on.
Feather beds ought to be done away with,
especially in warm weather. For spring, sum.
mer. and fall. husk beds ought to be all the go,
and such undoubtedly will be the case when
they are once brough into use. There is no
better time to procure husks then when corn is
being harvested, and the husk will be much
nicer and cleaner when corn is cut up at the
bottom and put in stacks. They do. not be-
come so dry and weather beaten. It's cacu-
lated that good husk bed will last from twen-
ty Eve to thirty years Every farmers daugb.
ter can supply herself with beds (against time
of need )at tIifing expense, which is. quite
an iuducement nOw-s-days.-Nes0 England

Freemen, to the Polls |!

Freeman of Mineral Point, the final day for
action has arrived Are YOU ready? We are
not going to appeal to your passions or syrnpa-
thies in glaring capitals, but for the last time
We address ourself TO your sober Judgment
The standard bearers of the two parties have
long been before you-their principles have
been fully discussed, aud their Platforms pre-
sented 10 your view. If your minds are I'M
preJudlced; if you love Freedom better than
slavery; if party ties are not stronger than your
devotion to liberty, you ca.not hesitate for a
moment. To vote for James Buchanan and his
party Is to vote for slavery in Kansas with the
probability of fastening that same blighting
curse upon all tie Territories Of tie Union. His
election would be equivalent to saving to the
free settlers in Kansas "ths is no place for you:
return to your homesin the north, forkansas be-
longs to the slave power" Do YOU desire such
result? If not, vote for Jony c. FREAoxr-for
CADwALLADER c. WAsunURx, and the balance of
the Republican ticket; for they are all oppos to
slavery extension, and 10y no a t of theirs can
slavery extend another inch. The are pledged
to Freedom and free institutions.
This Is the day to decide this important que.-
ton. If YOU have heretofore been active in the
cause of freedom, to-day work with renewed
energy, that You may rejoice over the result to-
morrow. If you have yet done but little,
to-day be active Let this day be devoted to
the cause of Liberty and humanity. As YOU
love your own freedom; you value the -liber-
" purchased for us by the blood of our fathers;
as you prize the Constitution and the Union
aud detcst the power that would destroy the
one and sever the other, viii YOU not now do
your duty like men, and like patriots? viii
you NOT go to the polls and vote for frcedom?-
Will You not spend this day to induce your
neigbors to go and do likewise? The time has
never been when much depended upon aour
action; and probably another such a time viii
never come. Meet the demands of YOUR coun-
try and your conscience NOW. Lesafreedom
triumph to-day, and peace prosperity and the
overthrow of the slavery extensionists, will be
the result. Let slavery triumph, and who can
picture the dark future? Patriots Christians,
lovers of freedom and humanity in Mineral
Point, much may depend on YOUR VOTES.
Let not single vote be lost which can possibly
be saved for freedom. Let every man be at the
/ Polls-vote earlv-vote the BEPC BLICAN
TICK Ell. and victory

JOHN S. COMFORT

The Democrat asserts that Mr.. Comfort as
sures them that the charge of his being a Know
Nothing is false We had intended to have
said nothing upon this matter, but leave Mr.
Comfort and Mr. Weston to run upon their own
merits for the office of Clerk of the Board of
Supervisors, well satisfied with the result in
such case; but since the Democrat Processes 10
speak with authority, and deny thst Mr.. Com
fort is n Know Nothing. have deemed it adj
risable to say that John S. Comfort, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Clerk of the Board of Su-
pervlsols, admitted TO us on Wednesday last
that lie joined the Know Nothing lodge in
Nlngville, in Grant county, one year Ego last
spring, rs one of the charter members Of said
lodge, or council, as he termed it, and that he
was elected secretary of said lodge.
We furthar assert that he made the same adj
mission TO Mr. Thomas Davey and Mr.. " m Mo-
ger of this village. Mr.. Comfort said to US that
he had made the same statement to Col Ham
ilton, T. s. Anslcy, aud Mr.. Weston of Linden,
and TO Alfred Ansley of this village. Now il
Mr. Comfort dare deay this statement, We viii
prove has denial TO be false. We do not make
this statement for the purpose of injuring Mr..
Comfort, but that the people may know the truth
and VIC challenge Mr. Comfort or his friends to
deny the truth of this statement.
