people will again be called upon to select
who shall represent them in the next Yir-
ginia House Of Delegates, and having
heard that our former worthy reprcsen-
tatives desire to withdraw from the polit.
ical arena, and believing that Harrison
county should be represented by mem.
bers of the Democratic party, and that
such representation can only be had by
thorough organization Of the party, l de
sire, to call public attention to that sub
ject.
It. will be exceedingly important to the
Democratic party at the next election in
this county, to have gentlemen nomina-
ted for the Office who can ante the entire
strength Of the party. and it is hoped that
we may have an early and general ex,
preston OF public opinion upon the. sub
ject Of their choice, in some shape.
We have quite a number Of gentlemen
in the party upon whom we can unite,
and when elected, will represent, the
county with honor to themselves and pro.
ft to their constituents. Aud without
disparaging the claims of any gentleman
whose name has been spoken Of in con,
nection with the next canvass, l would
respectfully suggest the names of Col.
Benz amin Wilson and Col. jeff. B. West,
as men worthy of public confidence,
whose character. both public and private,
is, without stain, and whose Democra-
cy is above suspicion. With such men
as our candidates. we would have moth
to fear. What say you. brother Demo.
Gratis Of Harrison Shall we have Coils.
Wilson and West for our next delegates ?
Let us hear from you generally.
Very Respectfully, ED.

HAVE Your TEETH FIXED DIR. Bart
lett. of the firm of WincheIl y Bartlett,
Wheeling. is now making his second visit
to this place, prepared to extract or plug
all the decayed or decaying teeth in the
country. and to insert any number Of
teeth, from one. which you can't tell from
the. natural teeth, to full denture with
the most faultless articulation. There is
certainly no greater addition to the hu.
man face divine than a NICE. bite set Of
teeth, especially when they are set off
with ruby lips and rosy checks. Many
particularly among the ladies-have
the latter two beauties almost spoiled by
a mouthful of"snags" and raging fangs"
which would be less out of place in a

BALTIMORE ELEcr1oN.-T Know
Nothings have carried Baltimore by q
large majority. The manner in which it
was done is thus given by the Baltimore
Sun:
owe suhjoin the formal record of a
vote taken yesterday, under the author.
ity Of municipal election. The returns
from the polls are the most faithful indi.
cation Of the character Of the whole sffair.
The text and commentary are there to be
seen at glance. The transactions Of The
day are already familiar to many Of our
citizens, and we have little disposition to
recRpitulate them here or descant upon
them. At very early hour the fact was
current throughout the city that the polls
were in. possession Of a class Of men who
could only be encountered upon equal
terms by resort to violence and the use
OF arms. Consequently all attempt tc
poll an opposition vote was Abandoned =
At about noon handful was issued by
Colonel Shut announcing his withdrawal
and from that time until the polls closed
the vote. we presume. was exclusiY ely
for Mr.. Swami"

New YORK CRYSTAL PALACE BURNT -
The Cry stall Palace lies in ruins. The
Fair Of the American Institute has been
brought to brilliant close. The articles
on exhibition are totally destroyed
About s. o'clock last evening, the bells
rang the alarm. and an immense cloud oil
smoke was seen issuing up town. The
alarm soon spread that Tie Crystal Pal
ace was on fire., ! Immediately started
for the scene of conhsgration. The alarm
caused much surprise down, town, and
many. at first. hardly credited the report.
In the neighborhood Of the Palace The
fact created great CONSERVATION, and men
women aud children were greatly alarm
ed. ..,-....t
The FIRE originated in lumber room
in the North nave. on Forty second street,
and in less than thirty minutes the SPLEEN
did structure was m ass of ruins. The
fire companies were soon on the ground /,
playing large streams Of water. but with
out any visible effect. They worked ably
for long lime. in hope OF saving some
valuable machinery in the Eastern por-
ton Of the building, but without avail
The splendid specimens ofskill and in
vention were destroyed by the fearful
flames. Upon the most reliable authors
ty we learn that the fire burst out. at ten
minutes past FIVE o'clock, and in twelve
minutes time. by the watch. the whole
edi6ce was in flames, and the dome fell
with an awful crash.

are very abundant and in instance three OF the
streams form large basin which affords a magniti-
cent bathing place. The waters of the said basin
can be entirely renewed every hour, a circumstance
which is certainly calculated to add much to its
purity. Attic distance Of some five hundred yards
from the principal bathing place there is besides
this. another which is furnished with an abundant
stream of water, the coldress of which can almost
be compared to that of ice.
