Our Nominees.

1t is just source Of pride to every
Democrat that ticket SO eminently wor-
thy the support of every loyal, Union Low.
ing man in the county should have been
nominated as is placed at the head of our
columns.
GEORGE s. TUITION and LEVI L. TATE
are our nominees for Representatives -
Mr.. luton, of Wyoming county, is very
prominent and talented lawyer of that
county, and Mr.. Tate of Columbia county,
has for the past quarter of a century been
newspaper publisher in Bloomsbury
Having both pledged themselves to stand
by the Government in the prosecution of
the war, and as they are the kind of men
Sullivan county wishes to represent her in
the Legislature. she will tender them her
most ardent support.
JAMES DEEGAN and RICHARD BEDFORD
are our candidates for Associate Judges
and are both unexceptionable men. Both
of them are acknowledged gentlemen, uni.
form, consistent Democrats, loyal moral
and upright citizens. The Republica ms
have certainly presented no better select.
IONS Let them be heartily supported and
elected.
Who doubts the qualifications of WAL
TER SPENCER for the Office of Treasurer.
Those who know him will have no misgiv-
ing in this respect He is careful, pru,
dent man, and as a custodian of our county
finances, will make a valuable officer, and
the funds may safely be entrusted 10 his
keeping.
HENRY WILLIAMS, the Democratic
candidate for County Commissioner, is an
upright and honest man, a man of good
reputation, and his excellent qualities will
insure him an election. lie will poll u
heavier vote by far, wherever known, than
the opposition candidate, or any other man
that could be brought against him.
JOHN W. MARTIN is we qualified for
the office of Auditor. No objection can
be urged against him. The office is not
considered an important one, but it is much
moro so than is generally supposed. Com
pctcnt men should be selected, and such
man is Mr.. Martin.
Such is brief review of the character
OF our ticket, and We say unhesitatingly
that the people Of this county never had a
better or more worthy ticket presented to
their support by any party 1t is compos.
ed OF men who are strong in their attach
ments to the Union and the rights of the
people.
Our foreign population have always
found their warmest friends among the
Democrats, when our political cuemies,
were earnest in their efforts to prevent a
foreigner from exercising the rights of a
citizen until he was 81 years in the coun,
try, who and what party prevented the
adoption of such an unjust measure The
Democrats arc neither Secessonists ,Know-
Nothings Native Americans, nor Wide
Awakes. They are, and always have
been, the true friends of the laboring men.
Rally, then, Democrats, to the rescue
Preserve your organization. Strike no
name from your ticket, but give it as a
whole your earnest support, as the happi-
ness of millions in our land, and in other
countries, depend upon the preservation of
our Union'loving party.

A Methodist AmecAOte.

A we'll known Methodist preacher, who was
travelling on horseback through the State o
Massachusetts, stopped once on a sultry sum
mer's day at cottage by the roadside and re
quesed some relreshment for himself and beast
This was readily granted by the worthy New
England dame: so the paison dismounted, and
having seen his horse well cared for, entered
the cottage and partook Of the reiresment which
was cheeriully placed before him For some
time past there had been no rain, and the coun-
try seemed literally parched up. The minister
entered into conversation with the old lady, and
remarked upon the dryness Of the season.
"Yes," she replied, "unIess we have some
rain soon. all my beets, cucumbers and cabba-
ges will be good for nothing and think ell the
ministers ought TO pray for rain"
The worthy divine informed her that he was
a minister, and that he should be happy to com
ply with her wish. He accordingly knelt
down and prayed tervently that the gates oI
heaven might be opened-that showers might
descend and refresh the earth. He then arose
from his knees and having thanked his hostess,
babe her good bay, mounted his horse and de
parted. But he had not been gone more than
an hour, when the clouds began to gather and
tremendous shower of rain and hail descended
and with such force as to wash the contents OF
the old lady's garden clear out Of the ground
"There," said she, ''thats always the way
with those Methodist; they never undertake 10
do any thing but thew always overdo it."

A Conn bar Of Qucem Bees.

Look, now, at the armies as they approach to
face one another, but not to fight. Single com.
bat between The sovereiens is the order of the
day, and the assembled armies are merely in.
terested spectators, with their forelegs drawn
beneath their body. The rival sovereigns ad
vance and ial upon each other with ungovern-
able fury. They seize each other with their
jaws by the neck, head and legs. BY rapid vi.
brations oi their wings they endeayer 70 con.
found one another. They butt their heads to.
gather, they grasp firmly with their legs, and
seek by every art and sleight to sting each
other. They unshealh their stngs like swords
anb strive toreach the vulnerable parts between
the rings Of the body, at the neck, or the con-
stricted parts that connect the chest and the
abdomen. This is o mortal duel deadly
sword play Not spectator puts forth his leg
4 general hum attests the excitement, or, per
haps, . general stiffness. At length the iatal
thrust is given; the sword penetrates between
the rings and enters the vital parts. 1t is now
that the peirced one shrinks back, staggers, aod
falls, and, after one or Two conyulsiys throbs
closes her eyes forever. - The Honey Bee.
