opinion that this instrument excels them all. As
foreigner sorry say that Europe has how lost
superiority long main famed in making the best pianos
Ii had toenumerate all the fine points ana Qualities
of your Full Gands should only have to repeat what
has been said often with truth
Finally, gentlemen, give you my best thanks for

"Three Parlor Grand Panos-nne made by HALLET,

Select School.
@- BY an advertisement in another
column it will be seen that our young
friend, J. L. LOOMS, has opened a Sc.
lect School in Browns Hall. We arc
glad to see this, because we feel conf
dent that Mr.. LOOMS has the needed
natural ability and requirements to give
us first class school. We think tha
no young man in the County is so wei
adapted for such task as Mr. LOOMS
for besides possessing well-cultivated
mind, he is both Industrious and consci
entious, qualifications much needed in
the teacher. We hope our citizens will
see that he receives all proper encour
agement.

ed off very pleasantly. The weather was
clear and warm, and rendered labor at
the polls easy. Although each party
worked zealously, all seemed good natur-
ed, and nothing occurred to interrupt the
general good feeling. AS all know, the
strife in this township, during the can
yass. has been great. Our Democratic
friends made but few pretensions respect
ing the county, but boosted continually
of theil ability and determination to car
~ this township by from 25 to 40 ma
joriiy. LORENZO, the Bombastic, carried
that flag, i'll his speech, over most of the
Union, and finally planted it, with great
flourish, upon the " Malakoff of Republ-
canism in Washington Township" His
threats of wiping out Republicanism
from the township were prodiyious, and
in his confident assumptions his hair
became redder than ever. But LOREN
eos powers are not a hundreth part rs
great as his cgotism, as the result proves.
Instead of the boosted ID democratic
majority, the Republicans have elected
their Supervisor, one of the two Justices,
two Of the three Trustees, their Clerk
and Assessor, and given Old Abe one
majority over Douglas in the township.
The majorities are small, to be sure, but

the contest in this township, the victory
Is great one, and has let the Democra-

convenient and very liberal arrange
ment for the people of the interior. The
Company, since the LIST of November
has been selling tickets to and from Du
buque nj half fare, the tickets being good
for three days. This makes the travel
on this road cheaper than on any road
in the West, and offers large induce
ments to persons DESTROYS of visiting Du-
buque on business. The fare for the
round trip from this place to Dubuque
and back will be but $3.50, and at that
price but few of our citizens can not
afford TO take trip to the Mississippi

suit in the reduction Of the freight tariff
