~Union county has done the clean
thing this year-nearly the same vote for
all her candidates. They are competent
and worthy, and petty personal or local
plques should never harm such men.
The vote is considerably the largest
ever polled in this county.
DALThe thanks Of Lewisburg and of
Union county are due to their Democratic
visitors (on the LIST Oct. inst from six or
eight neighboring counties, and to orators
Carrigan and Witts especially. Their
great number and peculiar spirit stirred
up our dormant voters, and increased our
m,jorities largely over last year-79 in
the Borough, and 35l in the County.
Call again, next year, neighbors. and the
earlier the better.

Sanitary Commission to hear of the rccep-
tion of the boxes, and their adaptation to
the wants of the soldiers. We append an
extract from recent letter to the associate
manager in Lewisburg:
Dear Madame: l had the honor
of unpacking 3 boxes that arrived from
Lewisburg the Sd Of Oct. Monday being
my day of duty, your treasures fell to my
lot. | can only say that had you heard
my enthusiasm over box No. l, you would
have been amused as well as gratifed, |
am sure. Everything in that box was of
the very best, and most useful at this
time. Those 32 pair of knitted woolen
socks. hailed with delight, We so much
need them at this season. II packed
handkerchiefs helped to fill box being
sent to the field; the 10 wrappers also
were packed and sent off, and the morocco
slippers were rare. One pair gave to a
soldier from Is and Filbert St Hospital.
He lost both his arms and was wounded
in the face at the battle of Gettysburg.
But his eye is still brave, and he is with
out murmer l mention this case as he
was so grateful for the slippers, the NOR
occa being so much better than carpet.
The shirts were SO very well made, and
all your material excellent. We rarely
have more valuable box than your No. l.
No. 2 was a little out of order, B Of the
bottles of Tomato Catsup having leaked.
One of currant jelly also leaked. Box
No 3 was in good order, all the cans came
safely and the dried fruit was very nice.
With great regard,
Truly yours, 7. W. P.
