Was IT RoBBERY.-The other night, about
IL or o'clock, some of the families living near
the corner of Spring and State streets were
startled by hearing scufle, followed by the
report of pistol. A gentleman opened his
window and saw three men bending over
another man, who lay PROSTATE on the ground.
Upon inquiring what was the matter, the three
men.made off in hurry, while the other man,
after an effort, rose to his fee5 and staggered
off but fell twice before reaching the corner
The next morning pool of blood was found
on the sidewalk
Only short time previous gentleman saw
man crouching down and following after
him up Park street, but upon turning and pre-
senting a revolver, the fellow made off in hot
haste. The police should look after this part
of the city.

A Chance to Use his Tickets.

IT'S an i'll wind that blows nobody good.
Frank Blair will now have chance to make
use OF little property which would have been
entirely unavailable, had the result of Tues
day been different, as appears from the follow
ing anecdote;
Some time in August last, box neatly pre-
pared, and marked "Hon. Frank P. Blair, Jr.
Omaha, Nebraska" arrived at that place by
express and was placed in the hands of the
Democratic nominee. Being naturally of "a
generous and communicative temperament"
like Poor PIERCE" Frank invited his friends
into his room toswitness the "unrolling." The
cover was removed-then came little saw
dust-then piece of thin board-then anoth-
er layer of saw dust and shavings-and last
paper bundle about ten inches long, four inches
thick, and seven inches wide. This was very
carefully unsealed, and on removing the very
inner cuticle, what was displayed? Why! a
package OF tickets GOOD FOR A PASSAGE UP
SALT RIVER, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 81, ONLY !"
and an attectionate note offering a further
supply OF the same article, if Mr.. Blair should
think there might be more men who would
like the trip.

FASHIONABLE WEDDING. The wedding nup-
tials of happy couple were celebrated at the
Swedenborgian Temple yesterday forenoon in
the presence of a large assembly, the fair
bride being daughter of distinguished and
worthy Judge of our city, and the bridegroom
young Clergyman of the Swedenborgian
Church. AT the appointed hour the bridal
train entered the sacred edifce, while the or
gan pealed forth wedding march, The bride
was beautifully attired in white with long
veil which floated gracefully over her should
ers. Rev. Mr.. Hayden performed the ceremo.
ny in an interesting manner, at the close Of
which the choir sweetly sung a marriage
hymn. We would not forget to mention that
q very handsome bouquet of choice flowers, in
honor of the occasion, was placed upon the
altar table, and every thing passed off well.

that is needed is concentration and systefo
and the field of Nav England might be spread
out so as to include the whole lake region
1t remains only to consider what other lines
are possible 1t is claimed that the Massa-
chusetts railroad system should be extended
and made Independent of that of New York
by means of freight railroad directly across
the Adirondac wilderness one hundred and
eighty miles to Sackett's Harbor This wonld
make the shortest line from the lakes to tide
water: it would narrow the peninsula to three
hundred and SIXTY miles.
The plan just sketched out for reaching the
lakes certainly deserves the most careful con-
sideration. So far as the Hoosac Tunnel is
concerned, such an object could alone Justify
its completion. To complete the HoOsac Tun
mel may cost ten millions of money and TO
build the proposed line of road aoould certainM
cost as much more. What however, is even
that outlay, when its return is the possession
of that trade in the breadstuffs of the West
which New York now esteens as acorth more 10
her than her gold to California. Tn
the plain language of the corn exchange the
problem is-How to lay down for export a
bushel ofwheat five cents cheaper in Boston
than it can be laid down in New York"
This discussion will be continued hereafter

THE GoRHAM MANUFACTURING COMPANY
OF PROVIDENCE, r. 1.-The SaUersmiths of the
Wor!d.-Everybody knows that the United
States have surpassed all the rest of the world
in moving machines and reapers, but every
body don't know that the largest and most
complete mandatory of solid silver and plat
ed ware on the two continents is at Providence,
Il. l.; and 1T is not only large, but it is great.
LII IS not only great in size, but in character.
1t not only employs several hundred men to do
the best work, but it teaches and directs them
to do the best work in the best way. But sill
yer ware has ceased to be merely useful; our
spoons are something more than little fiat
bowls with handles, and our forks must have
other attractions than their prongs. The pub
lie demands that table furniture should be orn-
amental as well as useful-that taste and
beauty of design should accompany excellence
OF workmanship. All these are points in
winch the Gorham Company are admitted TO
excel all other makers. Their epergnes and
various centre pieces and other ornamental
work are marvels of beauty and elegance. ia
bez Gorham began working in silver nearly
forty years ago, and the site of the honest
workman's bench has now become an immense
mandatory, employing over four hundred
men. Artists make designs that only other
artists can mould and other artists finish; and
the result is that united beauty and utility
which gives domestic appointments an air of
culture and refinement. The Gorham Com
pany uses only the best materials, employs on
ly the best workmen, and of course produces
only the best work; but to all this it adds that
browning grace of refined taste that adds SO
much value to whatever it touches. Every.
thing bearing their trademark can be relied
upon. nov3-dS,w1w

The great day of November Sd has dawned
and passed The result of its conflict we pub
Ish in another column, under headings
copied uerbdtim from the Press of April
10th, 1865, which announced the surrender
of Lee, with additions adapted to the nature
of the occasion. Inse nsible must that man be
who can contemplate the work of Tuesday
without emotions of the keenest joy. This is
the dawn of peace. The election of Grant Sc
cures beyond question three most valuable re-
suits.
The first of these is PEACE.
The second is JUSTICE to all.
The third result is the ANNIHILATION
Of the reputation heresy
- Now, then, for the fulflment of promises
Now for earnest, honest, patriotic work in the
cause of the country's well being. Now for
laborous efforts for economy, retrenchment,
and the upright administration of public af-
fairs, unembarrassed by the opposition and in
trigues of an unpauiotic Executive.
1t is true that four months must elapse be-
fore johnson will leave the White House.
But that will not prevent the passage of a
civil service bill, foreign service i'll, meas
OF interest and complete revision of the rev.
enue system, now in so chaotic a condition
through the combined influence of faulty
legislation and unfaithful administration that
the taxes paid by the people suffer serious
diminution before reaching the Treasury.
Down with the whiskey rings! Down with
the punderers of the public revenue! Down
with all the abuses, the corruptions, the venal-
ity in high places, the Office brokerage and the
"iobs," that bring reproach upon the good
name of the country. The Republican party
is now so strong that, with its attention undi-
verted by the greater crimes of its foes, it can
devote itself to setting its own house in order.
| 1t can drive out from its ranks all who stain
| the fair name of their country by their hereti-
cal opinions or their corrupt practices The
country is now in the hands of the Republican
| party. Let us be faithful to the great trust
! and worthy of the confidence of the people.
