Candidates.


Ey We are repeatedly asked, by our
country friends, what names are men
toned in connection with the respective
County nominations, and AS we know
that there is a general desire TO know
and as il will probably help TO a better
canvass Of men, we have thought it not
amiss to give such Information as we
possess. There has been, we think, n
great deal less than the usual amount OF
canvassing upon such matters. Either
so, or else we have failed TO hear it. For
Senator. Messrs. BEM;s and HART have
been mentioned. For Representative,
Messrs. HART. INGALLS,, HoLDRIDGE and
Rev. Mr.. BAKER of Quasqueton. For
County Judge we have heard no name
but Judge BARToNs. For Treasurer,
Messrs. OLDER and JosLYN. For Sheriff
Messrs. WE-TFALL, L. S. BRooKs and c..
j. REED. For Superintendent, s. G.
PIERCE. For The other offices, we have
heard no names suggested. There may
have been other names than those we
have given, mentioned in connection
with the various positions, but we have
not heard them. Ii there have, we shall
be glad TO be informed of them, aud will
announce them next week.

aged two years, three months, and twenty -fou
days.
Go to thy rest in peace,
And soft be thy repose
Thy sorrows DER, thy troubles cease
From earthly cares, in sweet release,
Thine eyelids gently close.
Go to thy peaceful rest.
For thee we need not weep,
Since thou art now among the blest,
No more by sin and sorrow pressed,
But hush'd in quiet sleep.
Go to thy rest and while
Thy absence we deplore,
One tho't our sorrow shall beguile,
For soon with II celestial smile,
We meet to part no more.

Routes to the East.

IT'S A MATTER OF SURPRISE, not TO say
Of actual unbelef, to many. If not most
Of the people OF the Northwest. West and
Southwest. that from Green Bay and La.
Crosse. on the North, to Cairo and ST.
Louis. on the South, the shortest route to
New YORK. Philadelphia and Baltimore,
lies through PITTSBURGH. When we add
that this route, so generally supposed to
be 4 circuitous one to New York, is
actually nearly one hundred miles short.
er than the route via Toledo. Buffalo,
and Albany. and sirty miles less distance
than via Toledo & Erie Railway this
fact becomes only the more astounding
to the large number OF persons who have
heretofore regarded Buffalo as on the di.
rect line TO New York. A further al
vantage Of the route via Pittsburgh, is
tina, there Is 6gt one change of cars, be
tween Chicago and New York or Phila
delphia. an advantage Of great momen
to ladies and families. and wilhal of nc
less comfort TO business men. All thes,
advantages can be secured. by buying
your ticket 10 the East over the Pirrs
puRoH, FoRr WAYNE Il CHICAGO Rail-
WAY, which can be had in Chicago, anc
at all the Ticket Offices Of all prominen
lines in the West,
The REDUCTION OF FARE just made b,
this line. 10 Si8 90 from Chicago 10 New
York, privilege belonging 10 the sdorte,
linz TO make the rates. should induce on
people generally TO try this new an,
admirably appointed line. whereby the
can reach the East in less time and for
lower fare than by any other route.
