making only two years age, and he has ns4e
and shipped to Clinton, Henry county, Me-. .
single harness, made entirely by himself, and
ssld there to gentleman who drives fast horses,
for the sum of $125. It was the ncatsst thing
in the harness line ever saw. Polk Breese can

meat, On fine work.
PUMP FACTORY.
Buy your pumps at home in Esrlville. Mr..
Trout, late Of Sandwich, is now manufacturing
nently located here. He makes tip-top pump.
There is no longer any need of buying the poor
Ottawa, Chicago or Galeiburg pump, when one
can be made to order in Esrlvills; and if it does
not suit, why, it costs nothing Try Mr.. Trouts
pump. He has just put one in for me; it is
bully. Patronize home made pumps all the
time.
ELECTION BETS.
Several suits have been commenced before II.
A. Chase, Esq, to recover money held by stake
holders claimed to have been won and lost on
New York. For example, James II. Breese, Esq,
bet that New York would go democratic at the
November election by 10000 majority. Now he
claims that iHasmuch nothing was said about
the federal election, that New York has gone
democratic by over 20,0O0-as Hoffman has car
risd the State by more than 10000. He claims
that by fair Interpretation of that language it
can mean nothing more or less than the local
election; and thus he claims to have won the
bet. While the other party to the bet claims
that New York has not gone democratic by
10000 because Seymour did not carry the State
by 10000. Pretty nice little question Bat If
Brother Dewey, of Ottawa, has paid Prescott foe
that hat I am all right. The cigars hat, and
that elegant hunting-cased gold watch to my
wife came duly ia hand. Accept our thanks, fer
the watch, especially. Ny bets we're al doll"

REV. II. c. FIRST.
This gentleman is tho pastor of the Baptist
Church of this place. This church il composed
of earnest christians, working earnestly to erect
An edifcs in which to worship. Mr.. First might
aid them in their work had he not gstten it into
his head that he can play Hatfield or Bushu
They have brain and ability, 20 that they can
afsrd to make asses Of themselves. But Mr.
First has not the ability to warrant him in the
attempt to ape either of those fanatics On
Thanksgiving day ne preached ia the Rev. John
Ustick's church, and unblushidgly advocated
political preaching in the pulpit He probably
does not know any better; but there are mem.
bsrs of his church Who do, and who regret the
prostitution Of the pulpit to any such purposes
Let them tell him better, and if he refuses to be
taught, let them turn him over to the tender
mereiss Of some other useful employment. Gsd
don't need such servants in his VINEYARD.

is dealing heavily in hogs-alive and dressed
lie pays the highest market price, and any farm
or fifty miles away can send his hogs or bring
them to Earlvlle and obtain Just as much, and
1T is thought little more, than he could were
he to make special contract. NJ II. Signor
deals honestly with the farmers, and that is
why they will all deal with him when thew
can. Carry your hogs to him.

ing Cooley on Constitutional Limitations"
What joke! Republican read anything in
regard to the constitution of states or nation
Is DIR. Wiley about to change to the Democratic
party He ought to know already that with
ms party the only limit there is to the state or
federal constitution 10 the limit of necessity
Why Doctor, don't fool away your time in
studying the limitations to the constitution
just drop the whole constitutional limitation,
and charge around in the whole field amid the
tsii grass like short-taled bull in fy time
Simply ask what do our folks want. Mako tho
eM Of the people the law, and let the constituto,
80 to the devil. You will have no call to consult
the constitution while ysur party is in power.
