now of Bnghampton, New York, for fine and ad-
mlrably executed Photographic likeness of that
glorious old statesman and advocate of Constitu-
tional Union, Daniel S. Dickinson
10 Mr.. E. B. Holden, Of Leasburg for box of
Mr. J. D. Longs odoriferous, manufactured, SUM-
cured tobacco-an excellent article.
To Mr.. E. A. Whitaker, Grocer, of this place. for
some very fine cigars which he has just received
They are mild, of excellent favor and undoubtedly
equal if not superior to any in town.
To Mr.. E. A. Vogler, Of Salem, for large Japan
Apple-Pie Melon. We have not yet tried it, but
this melon is said to make excellent pies. We have
the receipt for cooking and preparing it. furnished
by Mr.. Vogler to the Salem paper. This melon is
very prolific. 1t resembles the ordinary watermel.

pumpkins raised on his farm in that County, weigh
ing from 1910 80 pounds; also, for the lower jaw

JUDGE RUFFIN.-The announcement that this
great and good man and distinguished iurist has
signed his seat on the Supreme Court Bench will be
received throughout the entire State with feeling
of profound regret: nor could we expect that it
would be otherwise, for no one, we presume, can be
vain enough to suppose that his place be filled.
His reputation as profound jurist and righteous
judge is not confined to his State, but has gone
far beyond; and we learn from high authority that
his decisions have more influence in the administra
ton of justice in the higher courts Of other States
than, perhaps, those of any other in the Union.
All good but regret that his declining
strength should force him to relnqush post which
he has filled with such honor to himself and salts
faction to the people of the State May his future
be and tranquil his past has oeen
brilliant and useful.-Necbern Progress.

The CALL OF DUTY.-The last Washington Con-
stitution appeals to the Democratic members of the
House of Representatives to be at their posts on
the 9th of next month, being the first Monday Of
December The Democrats of the House, with the
anti-Lecompton or Douglas Democrats, number
about 100. Not less than 116 votes will elect the
Speaker and the other officers of the House. The
Democrats with the aid of the Southern opposition
members, can elect on the first ballot. Will these
Southern opposition members avail themselves of
this opportunity to benefit the country, and at the
same time show their aversion to the black Repub-
lican party? We will see.
