killing of GuerriIIas.

the other day, in pursuit of the guer-
rillas who destroyed the Depot at
little Philadelphia, and robbed the
citizens generally, overlook the vii
lians, killed six of of them, and cap
tured the horses, mules leather and
goods they had taken. That was a
good work, but it would have been a
better work if our men had burned
every rebels house where the gureril.
las were harbored. This We shall
have to do.
Our Home Guards, under Captain
White, killed, the tow Popeioys last
week, in the lower end Of Granger
county. They had been very bad
men, and deserved death long ago.
Put them through as fast as you find
theel, and destroy the houses where
they are conceal and fed.

peg" So far as heard from, the election
passed of quietly in this county, on Fri
day last. The result, we believe, is sat
isfactory to the Republicans--in Penn,
where from the liberal number of Repuh-
licans gone into service it was thought
more than likely that the opposition would
gain the day-the Union ticket was elee-
ted by an average majority of from 8 to

BsaS~ We have receiynd a c0mmunica-

the School Directors for levying tax on

requests US to publish it, but as it is not

as the writer is unknown to us. as also
the person who signs it, we don't feel at

is not gotten up in very respectful Ian

hard time of it, endeavoring to please

no body. While we thus decline to pub

known to us, wish through these co. umns

laws, will so discharge these duties as to
give as little room for complaint as possi-

The election Of Postmaster, on Satur
day afternoon, passed of very quietly
Pretty general alinterest was felt and mani
tested. There were two hundred and IS
votes polled-Mr. Miller received ma.
jority of the whole vote-this was not tc
be wondered at. Mr. Miller is one of oul
Oldest citizens; five of his sons had serv.
ed their country in the army, three Of
them for the full term of three ycars-all
with credit to themselves, and, doubtless
service to their country. The popular
announcement in favor of their father
was but fitting though feeble testimo
nial to them. We presume Mr.. Miller
will have the result properly forwarded.

and forced at last, as refuge from absolute
starvation, to the embrace Of brutal Yaokee
husbands. Hurled from afiiuence to the
very depths Of poverty, cast down from the

Egyptian Chronology.

Tho Egyptian chronology, which has lod

sixth and tenth dynastios, and of tho twelfth
and eighteenth. omitting all tho in:ermedi.

Marietta confesses that 1t seems to prove
that the intermediate ones must have been
contemporaneous moDarchs or kings over
other parts of Egypt. and that this deduc,i
1886 years from tho supposed duration o.
the Egyptian Kingdom. As no has boen an
advocate of the long chronology, this ad

What 10 it about French coffee?
In the first place, then, tho French cof.

beans, or peas. In the second place, it is

v6iving cylinder, which makes part of the
furniture of every kitchen, and which keeps
in the aroma of the berry. 1t is mover
