How 20 DistIngHtSh Good from

The cost Of yard of calico is a matter of
considerable importance to the consumer
who studies economy; hut, unfortunately,
there are those who, in wishing To practice
frugaliy, deceive themselves into the idea
that because an article slow in price itmust
necessarily lie cheap. The result uf this Is
demand upon the manufacturer for low
priced goods, and he, To keep pace with the
wants of his customers. introduces into the
wares, when practicable, certain ureparn-
tons calculated TO hide the fimsiuess Of the
products he IS thus called upon 10 supply

iti called. is practised at the present time

the threads are left as far apart as those

A Terrible Tornado I'm WIscOn-


The ia Crosse Republican, Of july lst,
contains a detailed account of the destruc-

Wisconsin, which was attended with terri

About o'clock in the afternoon two an
cry looking clouds approached each other

short distance west Of the village. The pee
pie watched the threatening events with
deep so.icituds. When those two forces
came in contact, they whiried off at tuL-
gent and moved in an easterly direction and
passed through the heart of The beautiful

Democratic state and County
Conventions.

BY the calls Of the State and County Cen
trail Committees it will be seen that the
Democratic State Convention will be held
at Columbus, on Thursday, August Oath,
and tie County Convention at Cadiz on
Monday, August 81. The township meet
ing are to be held on Saturday, August 49,.
We trust the Democracy Of Harrison
County are fully alive to the importance Of
maintaining and perfectng their organiza-
tioD. There never was a time when the
safety Of the country more urgently de-
rIanded their restoration to power than the
present. and no time when Democrats should
work harder to attain that end.
Experience has demonstrated that the
party opposed to the Democracy can never
have the feelings of National party, and
in the present aspect of affairs, their con-
tinuance in power can only have the effect
of being barrier to the restoration of that
spirit of Union which should be cultivated
among all the people of this great nation.
The question of]negro suffrage is an is
slle % which the people are called to- pass
upon If theopposition to the Democracy
can possibly accomplish this end they will
undoubtedly enfranchisa the negro. All
their leading orators, and their press all
most without exception, favor it, and it be-
hooves all friends of their country to rally
with the party opposed to the consumma-
tion of this evil.
Questions af taxation, and economy in the
administration Of public affairs are also be-
fore the people, and upon these questions
the Democracy, as they have always done
in the past, are for protecting the people.

ny fiery trials, and while their opponents

FIX President Buchanan was invited to q
Fourth Of July celebration at Harrisburg.
He wrote the following letter in answer to
the invitation: B"
WHEATLAND, NEAR LANCASTER,
July 2, 1865.
GENTLEMEN i have received your kind
invitation to unite with the Democracy Of
Harrisburg and its vicinity" in celebrating
the approaching anniversary of our Nation
al independence, and regret to say / shall
not be able to enjoy this privilege.
On this hallowed Anniversary let us re-
joice that, through the intervention of Di-
vine Providence, peace has once more re-
turned to bless our land. Our JOY, however,
will be tinged with cloud of sorrow for the
loss Of our kind hearted and distinguished
President bya diaboical crime, and this,
too, at the very moment when, by wise
elemency, he was about to convince the
world that peace has its triumphs as well as
war.
/ am gratifed to observe that everywhere
throughout the State the old Democratic
party is renewing th. energy Of its former
years 1t can never die while the Constitu.
ton and Union shall live. 1t will be a
bright and glorious day for the people Of
