Card from James Armstrong.

HNIIE undersigned would hereby respectfully
l. beg leave to return his sincere thanks to the
Democratic and Conservative voters of New Cas-
tie county for their partiality in selecting him as
their candidate for the Sheritalty, from among so
many other gentlemen, whose names were pre-
sehted TO them on Saturday last, any one of
whom would have done honor alike to the office
and the great party 10 which they so long and
faithfully adhered.
1t would afford him great pleasure TO visit his
friends in every Hundred in the county and to
tender to each, personally, his thanks for the
honor conferred upon him but, as circumstan-
ccs, which are best understood hy those who are
most intimately acquainted with him, render this
impracticable, he adopts this as the only avuila-
Bile mode of expressing his gratitude to his fell
low-citizcns for their past support and Of solicit
ing continuation of the same at the ensuing
general election, pedging himself, that, should
he be so fortunate to be elected TO the said of
flee, he will discharge its duties with honesty, fl
deity, and to the best Of his humble ability.

Double Pinion HORSEPOWER,
WITH RUSSELL PATENT MovEABLE CENTER

Russells Improved Double Pinion eight and
ten-horse Cary Power, with movable centre, has
long been in use, during which time it has with
stood the most severe tests, and for light draft,
strength and durability, it has no equal. The
movable CENTRE is of great value, for by its use
the master wheel is allowed to adjust itself to the
master pinions, so as to divide the labor equally
thus overcoming friction, and removing TO great
extent the liability to break by sudden jerks or
starts of the horses. The and horse power is
essentially the same as the eight and ten, except
in size.
The spring coupling fork is now attached to
the line shaft of the power, and is made with a
reversible dog, by taking off the coupling fork
and changing the dog, the horses may travel eli
thcr to the right or left.
