County Seat.
The defeat Of McGregor, as a candidate
for the honors of County Seat by ths
very decisive majority of 1000 votes o,

McGREGoE was lot an original applicant

citizens Of the same towns were afterwards
persuaded that this place was Copper

here the County would be revolutionized
in politics. Some said they were insulted
while on business here by "copperheads"
and the idea was sought TO be established
that the people of McGregor were intoler.

WELL was an active worker in behalf of
McGregor and he presented his own case
to these carpers in proof of the liberality
Of the McGrcgor Democracy. Netwith-
standing our majority here is large, Doua-
LAS LEFFISGwELL, Lincoln man, was
elected Mayor over one of our best business

Notice..
The following letter, handed us by the
gentlemen to whom it is addressed, ex-
plains itself. Persons who are sending
gifts to their friends in the army, will pay
attention to this matter
CHICAGO, Nov. 9th, 1864.
Messrs. Bass g Elmendorf, Nc Gregor, Ioaoa,
GENTLEMEN Your packages Of vege-
tables, butter &C., have all been received.
Although contrary to our usual custom,
we shipped them all, as they came, to our
Agent at Cairo, with directions to forward
them if possible to the parties mentioned.
OF course, we cannot guaranteed that they
will certainly reach them, but every effort
will be used. We regret to say, we shall
be unable to do it again. There is no way
that we know of, to reach particular par.
ties in the army, without special Military
permit, and preparing the expressage. D

VERY GooD.-The following nice thing
is found in the N. Y. artisan and purports
to have been uttered by member of a
Jersey City debating society; the question
was in reference to the spontaneous ex-
plosion Of nitro:
Mr.. Chairman The question whether
ignition and defiagration occur whenever a
large concentration Of explosive or phlo-
CYSTIC substances are combined by contact
with sulphureted oxyd OF supercarbonate
of hydrogen and solutions Of mineral mat.
tier in mass of unsophisticated materials,
is essentially assimilated to question pro-
posed by the iilustrlous fantagoras, to-
wit: whether the hibernal frigdity Of the
antipodes, passing in an orthogonal line
through the homogeneous soidity Of the
earlh's center, conveys perceptiblc warmth
to the superficial convexity of our heels by
a soft antiperistasis.
This brief exodium SO excited the won
der or the visibility of the house that thu
audience broke up in a row spontaneously
exploded! e

MEDICAL OpERATIoN.-We are indebted
to Doctor Andres, the pioneer physician
and Surgeon Of this part of the North
West, for report in brief Of an operation
performed last week on the throat of six
years old child, the son Of Mr.. Bonney, of
Export. The child, in sucking through a
bead three-fourths Of an inch in length,
swallowed it and it lodged in the wind pipe
just below the adams apple" The child
was brought to this city, and DR.. Andres,
on call of the distressed parents, proceeded
to the operation Of 7racheotomy. An in.
cision of II inches was made in the throat
of the subject, the arteries secured, the
bead extracted, the throat sown up and the
child in few days will be able to 60 home.
The Doctor was very ably assisted by Drs
Low, Of McGregor, and Mason, of Pr. du
Chen. s
This case is worthy Of the notice of the
profession as well as the afflicted.
