HENRY SIBREE.

We dislike very much to speak of this
man. As all our citizens are aware,
when not stepped with stimulants nor un-
der the influence of the Poor Commissioner
Ring, he has some redeeming traits of
character, and so we dislike to speak of
him at all lest we shall make him worse
than he already is, which would be very
bad indeed. And then, too, unless we
can say some good of man we rather not
say anything at all. But Sibree is before
the people on his merits and asks to be
supported for the Office of County Judge
for which our people pay $1,000 per
annum, and the incumbent is elected for
four years. As a matter of course he
must expect to have his past record over
hauled, he must expect to have his pri-
vate habits examined into, and his pub
lie acts closely scrutinized. We do not
want man in this important position
for the next four years who will not strict
ly attend to his duties. Now what are
AIr. Sibree's merits? Why should the
people confer on him this valuable office?
While Mr.. Sibree lived on farm he was
counted respectable man and good
neighbo-, but he moved to town, came
to the conclusion that Office holding was
the best thing in The world for him, and
t, get office he has resorted to almost ev-
cry kind of trickery known to low politi-
clans. Cat this writing it is reported he
is out among the Bohemians, who know
but little of either candidate, trying to
bribe them to vote for him, as re believe
he did the members of the late conven-
tion.) Well on coming to this conclusion
he speedily went down in the dirt with
the lowest of the low, and of course lost
his chances for Office in the Republican
party, and what did he do then? What
no honest man would ever thought of
doing, he united himself with the Ring,
which has boldly, defantly robbed the
county of thousands on thousands of
dollars, and at their hands received the
nomination for County Judge. But we
hardly think his change of base will be of
any avail. The days of the Ring are few;
the people begin to see the matter in its
right light, and Mr. Sibree will
probably soon awake to the fact that he
must work for his living hereafter, or go
hungry; the people care very little which.

THE JUDICIAL TICKET.

We again call the attention of the Re
nublicans throughout the county to the
necessity of voting the Judicial Ticket,
which the law requires, must be deposited
in seperate ballot bon.
Chief Justice Dixon has no opponent.
This is the highest compliment that can
be paid to candidate, and shows that
his denomination was wise one.
In our own county the people ale
called upon to vote for County Judge.
The Poor Commissioners Ring" are ex-
erting every effort to elect their candidate
Mr. Henry Sibree. The people of this
County must break up this Ring which now
has and seeks to retain control of the gov
ernment ofthe county. They have run the
county tlcenty Seven thousand dollars in
debt and still they are not satisfied with
their ILL., gotten gains.
Our advices from the different towns
in the county are of the most cheering
character, and if the Republicans only do
their duty there is not question
but that Mr.. Waldo our candidate for
County Judge will be elected by large
majority. In our own village, where both
of the candidates are best known, the
majority tor Mr. Waldo will be the lar
gest that has ever been given to any can
didate- The Ring comedies this. 1t
is significant fact, and well worthy of
attention by the people of the country
towns. Be sure and vote the Judicial
Ticket bearing the name of W. W. Waldo
for County Judge.

counterparts are only to be had from the
Ffsh-naonqers of Billingsgate, and the Pig
Drluers of Droughcdy. However, we
have not word of fault to find, W th
Jere's style-If it suits his readers, it
suits us to hair But, in a friendly way
we would delicately hint, that it might
possibly be wise for Jere not to talk quite
SO much about honesty, lest perchance.
the people suspect the old cry of stop
thief is raised by him, for the purpose of
drawing suspicion off from himself and
of that kind For the honesty of Jere's
character,is is just as we'll established as the
color of his nose. There is not man
from here to Oshkosh, and further, that
eyer had any dealings with him, but
knows all about it. Our Supervisors and
County officers are especially familiar with
it; although we must admit, that last
week while contemplating on Jere S Holy
pilgrimage through the County, with the
Right Rev. Bishop. and his dear bosom
friend from, THO Rivers, one sitting on
each side of the Bishop, our ina agination
brought vividly before us, the ancient
scene of Calvary, with our Saviour be-
tween the Ttco Thieres. Still We would
not allow such picture to alter our opin-
ion OF Jere's honesty, or the peoples
either. Surely we all know he is honest.
Was he not allowed to ride with the
Bishop, because.he was honest? And is it
not because he is a living. breathing, in
carnation of honesty, sobriety, purity, and
moral eccellence that we made him our
County Superintendent of Schools?
Nothing else, barring. may be. his loyalty.
And is not the style of Jere Just the
thing to teach our rising youth? Could
anybody think of anything better in the
hands of every schoolboy in the County,
than Saint Jere's Ofal Barge? Is it not
splendidly calculated to cnlighten their
minds, purify their hearts. and make
good loyal citizens of them? Who an
swers?
Some one has has said, the worlds a

A Nav COMPASS. Since the intro
duetion of iron vessels, great difficulty
has been experienced by navigators in
avoiding the local attractions which have
made the compass to some extent uncer
tain and insecure, and the interest of the
public has been awakened to the necessity
OF providing some remedies against the
evil. Among others who have turned
their attention to the subject is Mr.. Sam
uel Custer, of Roanoke county, Virginia.
who is the inventor of compass which
is styled an automatic registering marine
compass, and which he claims will fulfill
the grand desideratum of navigation, in
furnishing needle which does not deyi-
ate from the magnetic meridian under the
influence of local attraction, whether that
attraction results from the iron in the con
struction of the ship, or iron in the cargo
or any other source of local attraction. 1t
processes to do four things: L. To show
the presence of local attraction (which
no other compass does); 2 To show the
direction Of the local attraction; 8. To
show the extent of the local attraction 4.
To indicate, under all circumstances, the
magnetic meridian as truly as does any
other compass when under no local infu-
ence. This compass is entil ely different
in construction from any other hitherto
used. An Eastern exchange gives the
following description of it.
1t consists of three systems of mag
netized needles, arranged in different
horizontal planes. The upper system is
composed of two magnetic bars, connec-
ted with a graduated card, like an ordin-
ary compass. The card needles are at
tached also to an axle-both to the same
axle. The lowest system consists Of
about a dozen magnetlzed bars, arranged
with similar piles) in the same direction,
and attached to perpendicular (gradua-
ted) rod The middle system of needles
consists of two mague etized bars attached
also to this perpendicular rod, and slides
up and down this rod When placed on
board of an iron ship, for example. the
middle system Of needles is adjusted at a
point on the rod which repels the upper
needle back to the magnetic meridian 1t
is only necessary to adjust this middle
system of needles with reference to the
local attraction existing on board of that
particular ship. No change in the direc-
ton of the ship makes any difference in
the pointing of the upper needle, whilst
the lower systems which have gradua-
ted card attached to the upper end of the
axle to which they are attached, which
card indicates the the movements of the
two lower systems of needlcs-traverse
! like an ordinary compass.

in accordance with one of the most
absurd supcrstitions, ,on Saturday last, the
bodies of the murdered Mr.. and Mrs.
Todd were placed on table in church
IN Lebanon, Ind, and, after board of
eight judges had been appointed, a crowd
of 200 people were required to file past
and touch the bodies, under the idea that
when the guilty one should touch the
corpse, the blood would ooze afresh from
the wounds. It didn't coze, however, so
the judges pronounced all innocent and
the murderer is yet unknown.
