When the Plantation Bitters were first
made known to the American people some
seven years ago, it was, supposed they
were an entirely new thing, and had new
er before been used. So far as their. gen.
eral use in the United States in concerned,
this may be true. 1t is also true that the
same Bitters were made and sold in the
island of st. Thomas over forty years ago,
as any old planter, merchant or sea cap
tain doing business with West Indies viii
tell you. 1t is distinctly within my recol-
lection that on the return of my father
CRho was sea captain, and doing an ex-
+tensive trade in the tropics6 he would in
variably have the Bitters among the ships
stores, and our family side board was nev-
er without them. For any sickness, it
matters not how severe or trifiing, the de-
canter- of the Bitters, By different name,
was always resOrted to as a sovereign
remedy.

THE WHEEEBABRow RIDE ora Grant
man by a Seymour man, noticed in our
last issue, came of, as announced, on Sat
urday afternoon, between 4 and 5 o'clock,
and was witnessed by a barge crowd Of
people, who were drawn by the novelty of
the affair. At 10 minutes past 4, every
thing being ready the winner of the
wager, our young friend, John W.. Ellis,
took his seat on the wheelbarrow, smOk-
ing cigar, smiling and looking as if he
enjoyed the prospect of a ride at his op
ponent's. expense. The wheelbarrow was
decorated with flags bearing the names of
Grant and Colfax, and on the sides was
the inscription, "The Lost Cause" Young
Meyer, the loser of the wager, also took
the affair in the best Of humor, and man
fully applied himself to his task, taking of
his coat as the day wasy warm and pleas
ant. The band strnck up alively air, and
the procession started from the College
gate, followed by a crowd of men and
boys cheering and laughing at the novel

the street, a haltof a. few minutes. was al
lowed for rest. The sidewalks and win
dows of the houses along the route were
filled with spectators, all of whom seemed
to enjoy the performance, except a few
crusty Democrats, who looked as sour as
crab apples, and turned away with ex-
pressions Of disgust.
At about half past 4, the procession
reached the end of the route, at the
grounds of the Oakland Female semina-
ry, being about half mile from the start
ing point Ellis jumped out Of the wheel
barrow, shook hands with Meyer, and the
crowd returnedsfo town, in. the best posi-
bic humor. Meyer did not seem much
fatigued, and laughs over the affair as
heartily as any body, though he says he
believes he will decline betting any more
wheelbsrrow rides on the election.

Grand Republican Jit5ilee at Sugartres
Ridge = Fire Uorbs, Illumination,
Speeches and General Rejoicing.
sWINE YA1LEY, Nov. IL. 1868.


Mr.. ED1ToR:-The exciting cam
paign having closed, we. can now look
back over the field and see the great
and lasting results. Although Concord
went Democratic at the last election
by small majority, we are not dis
couraged, Why should we be? The
result of the elections has filled our
hearts with joy. Those glorious prin-
eiples for which we have been contend
ing, are again triumphant.
According to previous arrangements
the Union people,ot Concord Town
ship had Grand Jubilee at Sugartree
Ridge, Friday night last. About 8
o'clock the old cannon began to wake
the echoes of the surrounding hills,
and the people began to pour in from
every direction, until the streets wer
crowded with men and women. A
torehlight procession, consisting of
abUut75 torches, marched through
the streets, headed by a number of Ia
dies, who carried large banner,
tastefully decorated, and inscribed with
the names of of."Grantand Colfax and
aLet US have Peace" Among the
transparencie8 that attracted attention
was one representing Seymour and
Blair mourning over the Democratic
rooster.
The boys amused themselves by
throwing fire balls; all the houses in
town were illuminated, butthree, Zoe
cupied by the s'unterrifed.' .'') Speeches
were made by Hon. T. G. Downey, of
Winchester, Messrs. Gardner and
PugsIey ofHillsboro, and Rev. Mr..
Pierce. Mr.. Geo. B. Gardner sung
the Salt River song, which was loudly
cheered by the audience.
The exercises closed about half past
nine. Even our Democratic friends
turned out and took part with us in
our rejoicings. Judging from appear
ances they are better satisfied over the
result of the election than they would
.be had Seymour been elected.

BaIIou's monthly Magazine.

The December number of this popular
Magazine is received. We find it filled
with that charming variety Of illustration
and interesting letter-press so we'll caIcula-
ted to keepit at the head of the cheap
Magazines of the country. Shillaber treats
Us to one of his most musical illustrated
poems; Mrs. Edison closes her interesting
serial, ga Woman's Error" William L.
Williams gives the young folks an exeit-
ing story, while Jane G. Austin, James r.
Fits, Catherine Earnshaw, W. H. Macy,
N. P. Darling and several other writers of
more or less note furnish each a capital
story or poem. The humorous pictures
are uncommonly good, embracing four
different subjects, illustrated by six en-
cravings by Rogers.
The publishers announce for 1869 new
serial by. the charming Miss Camilla Will
liam, alsolan,SrigihaI story for boys and
girls, to run through the year, by Horatio
Ager, jr., one ofths most popular JHiters
for the yeung- They also promise increas
ed attractions in stories and Illustrations,
for the coming year, over those of any pre-
vious one. As their promises have been
more, than performed in the past, we have
reason TO believe they VIII continue to be in
the future, though is difficult to see how
Ballou can be much improved over its
present excellence. It,is sent to subscri-
bers at S1.5O per year, or in clubs for $1.25.

J. F. MARLAY will preach the Ser
mon. 1t is to be hoped that the day

Let business be suspended, and the

In this place, last Saturday night, was a
fitting close ofthe memorable political cam
paign of 1865. The Republicans of both
town and country were out en- masse, and
The Public Square and principal streets
were all alive with the rejoicing thousands.
The evening was very favorable for the
occasion, being mild and pleasant. There
was speaking in the Public Square, by
Hon. job &. Stevenson of Cincinnati,
capt. Barrere, and others, with stirring
music at intervals, from the HillsborO
Band, and songs By Capt. Gardner and
others. Fireworks lit up the scene almost
incessantly, and many Of the principal
business houses and dwellings were illu-
minated. The residence of VIM. Scott,
Esq, was particularly noticed for its hand
some appearance. The 'rejoicings were
kept up until about 10 o'clock, when the
people, dispersed, .gratifed with what they
had seen and heard, and thankful for the
great political victery, which has secured
peace and prosperity to the country.

OmoiaI Yote OF Highland.

As the poll books Of the Presidential
election are opened at Columbus, instead
.of at the county seat, we were unable to
obtain the full official vote Of the county,
but have made saFTangements to do so,
through our District electOr. We notice
in the State Journal that Grants majority
in Highland is reported to be only Is.
This must be a mistake, as the returns re-
eeived Immediately after the. election,
showed majority Of nearly 900.
The Journals figures should probably
read I78. The electors will meet at Co
lumbus on the first Monday in December,
when we shall be able to get the official
vote, by townships, and will publish it as
soon thereafter as possible. m

PIKE COUNTY REPUBLICAN.-We
have inadvertently neglected to no,
tice,the recent revival Of this paper,
in an enlarged form, under the edito-
rial management of S. F. Wetmore &
Co. It7is a we'll conducted, neatly
printed and sprightly journal, and
should be generously supported by the
Repubiicans of Pike county.
By the way, we. notice that they
cut down the Democratic majority to
57s-atathe Presidential election, being
Republican gain of I27, since
October. This is encouraging, and if
the Republicans will sustain their
home paper and give it the widest pos
sible circulation, they will gradually
reduce the majority against them un-
til even "benighted" Pike county
will wheel into line with the
great. Republican army of the nation.

symptoms OF an aggravated pain in the front

WILD OATs.+The boys who SOW
wild oats and thegirls who make run
away matches, do not have the right
kind Of homes. The man who is a
child with the children, who can play
horse" and jump the rope, who doesn't
call Johnnie bother when be wants
to "help" carry the basket, who gets
their confidence 50 that they tell him
all their troubles, who believes that
old folks were made to help young
folks-HE is not plowing the ground
for wild oats. Such parent will see
that good reading is one of the at.
fractions of home to his family. No
money for this purpose ''goes furtheF''
than that spent for a good religious
paper, which makes its fresh visits
every week. THE ADVANCE, which
is advertised in another column, seems
to be just such a paper. It can be had
FREE by any one who secures three
subscribers, and very liberal premiums
are given for larger clubs. We can
not speak too highly of it or urge its
claims too strongly.
