Mr.. Buchanan said that his election
annihilated the Republican party. Elec-

Supreme Court think they have just an
affiliated it again.-We think they have
helped to infuse new life and vigor into
the party by their Infamous and revolu
tionary decision. Time will decide who
is right.

NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION.

New Hampshire has honored herself in
her recent election. One year ago, at
the close of most excited contest, and
upon the largest poll that State had ever
known, the Opposition Governor had a
plurality Of barely 83 votes, while two
$500 were cast for the Old-Line Wing
candidate. The Opposition barely car
ried the Legislature, though the Kansas
question was directly before the people,
and the Presidential election in prospect.
Now, with Mr., Buchanan just inaugura
ted, both Houses of the next Congress
fixed against us, the Supreme Court viz
tually outlawing us, and the dough face
press everywhere asserting that "bleed-
ing Kansas" has ceased to suffer, The Re
pubicans, on a moderate poll, carry every
branch of the State Government by some
three thousand majority, re-elect their
three members Of Congress, and thus
show to the world that the Republican
spirit Of the Free States is buoyant and
invincible.-N T. Tribune,

PRoF. WOODS HAIR RESTORATIVE
We commend this article. because we
know whereof we speak. When we were
about twenty years old, cur head com
menced turning grey, and when we COM
menced using your Hair Restorative, it
presented rather venerable appearance,
but now il has nearly returned to its
original color. But, aside from its res
torative qualities, it is an excellent article
for keeping the head clean and the hair
soft. We are we'll satisfied that it is the
best thing for the hair in use, and cor
daily recommend it to all who wish to
improve thehar-that beautiful ornament
of the head - Golden Era, ST. Louis.

HE- There is one thinr TO which aUai

Re- There is one thing to which again
we desire to call the attention of our
people, and that is The absolute ne
cessity of providing tenant houses to ac-
commoda.e those who desire to locate
here. 1t is, at present, almost an impos
sibilily for a man of family to stop here,
no matter how much he may desire to do
so, from the fact that there is not house
in town to be had upon any terms. We
have heard several strangers inquiring,
within short time, for houses to rent,
but they could not get them, and have
been compelled to leave. This strikes us
as kind of suicidal policy. There are
many men here who have the means of
building an extra house, and we doubt
much whether, directly or indirectly, a
better investment could be made. We
hope they will think of this, and we know
they will recognise the Importance of the
suggestion.

RE- Philadelphia has lent her credit
to Railroad companies to the amount of
$4,000, 900. But one of these Roads,
the Pennsylvania Central, is in full oper-
alton, and that alone pays into the Trea-
sury of the city 100000 per year over
and above the interest accruing upon the
whole of the investments. When all the
roads get into operation, it is believed
that the revenue which the civ will de-
rive from them, will be sufficient to meet
the yearly expenses of the city govern
ment. So says the commercial editor of
the Philadelphia transcript. We believe
such result could not fail to obtain TO
our county by a liberal subscription to
the Wapsipinicon and st. Peters Valley
Road, and that instead Of increasing tax
alton it would almost entirely obviate the
necessity for it.

more violent opposition than from Du-

almost alone and unaled. The present
