Doors AND BLISDs.-We called at the
factory Of Mr.. W. Shaffer on Saturday last,
and were pleased as well as surprised at
the excellent facilities which Mr. s. has
gathered about him for doing his work, and
at the rapidity and very superior manner
in which he is executinglt. We we're par
ticularly interested in the operation of a
little machine engaged in joining the Stats
of the blinds to the middle rod by means
of wire staples. The little machine did its
work with regularity, precision and ra-
pidity that was truly astonishing-doing
the work, as We were informed, often men,
aud in a more satisfactory manner. Mr..
Shaffer informs US that he is able to do this
kind of work by far cheaper than any other
establishment Of the kind in this region.
We are glad to witness this spirit of en-
terprise on part of our mechanics, and hope
they may be fully rewarded for their ener-
gy.
Persons in need of doors, sash, blinds, or
anything in that line, will certainly fad it
to their interest to give our friend Shaffer
a call.

For the Express,


For the Express.
Upon what subject shall 1 writef is a
question that often arises in the mind of q
correspondent Of weekly newspaper. 1t
is true, there are thousand subjects upon
which one may write. but perhaps, not
more than five out Of that number would
interest the general reader. If writer's
have "faculty" for story telling they need
not fear but what the product of their
Drains will be greedily devoured by large
class of readers. If writer is so unfortu-
nate as to possess no talent for story tel
ling, there is nothing of sufficient interest
in town occurring to employ his pen; then
it is that the correspondent envies the To-
cal editor, for every body reads his items,
whether he chronicles very important in
telligeuce or not. Now all moral essayists
attempt to prove that envy is a passion
that does not elevate, and confer dignity
upon human nature; and Lord Bacon tells
US that it is passion that has no holiday

fact that those lamp posts in the southern

We give, in another column, the official
vote in this township. 1t will be seen
that the entire Republican ticket is elected,
with the exception of-one constable. This
is a glorious triumph for Harrison Town
ship, and the increased majerities show
the rapid advancement of the right. Terre
Haute is henceforth Republican city
This is certainly very gratifying. The
contest was a warm one, and the party
lines strenuously drawn. The Democracy
was out in all its force, and the large vote
polled proves the interest of the occasion.
All was done by our opponents that they
could do, and the handsome malorities fol-
eur ticket is, therefore, deubly encourag
ing.
We will endeavor to give, tomorrow
the returns Of the different townships. VI
to going to press we can hear but LITTLE
