A BrOadside for Humbugs.

Incompetence and assurance generally go hand
in hand, and of all the tribe OF pretentious know
n~othings with which society is afflicted, the un-
scientific medicine men, who attempt to tamper
with the health of the community are tho most
dangerous and the most impudent.
So much by way of Text. Now for q special and
particular application.
1t appears that a mushroom growth OF so-caIled
" Bitters," is springIng up under different names
in various localities, particularly in the Southern
and Western States, which the vendors have the
hardihood to to easy-going people
upon whom they think they can impose, as a sub
stitute for Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, long recog-
nized by every class as the purest and best medi-
Gated stimulant and invigorant the world az
f0rds.
The concoctions referred to being composed OF
worthless material, offer a larger margin for profit
than that Celebrated Tonic, and herce the anxiety

the public in its place.
But "~ferewarned is forearmed, -. and all parties

ing to coax and fnveigle into substituting trash fol

fish and sordid motives which underlie the repre-

The great popularity and vast sales of Hostel

pared by these tricks OF trade but as the debil

matter, 1t is only an act of common humanity tC

How to Cook Green Peas.

PICK the peas in the afternoon, let them
stand until time to prepare next days din
ner, or, if not convenient to shell them,
until the day after. Put the shelled peas
into a large kettle of water, with a piece
of pork, and let them cook until they are
boiled out of their skins. That is how
not to treat peas, and yet it is the style in
which many treat one of the most delicate
of vegetables. Every hour that passes be-
tween the picking and the cooking of
peas is attended with a deterioration in
quality. Those who buy peas must sub
NIT to having them stale, but those who
raise them have only themselves to blame
if they do not enjoy them at their best.
Peas should be boiled in just water
enough to cover them. 1t should be
sailed and boiling when the peas are put
in. Allow them to boil uncovered. The
time required varies with the age of the
peas, from fifteen to twenty-five minutes
Peas that require longer boiling, or need
the aid of lump of sods to make then

THE ELECTION.

Although Republican meeting was
called to take place on last Friday even
ing, for the purpose of making Corpo-
ration and Township nominations,
when the hour for business arrived, it
was found that large nun Der OF those
composing the meeting were among
the most respected Democratic citizens
of Upper Sandusky; and it being ascer-
tanned that they were actuated by a
desire to elect men of character to of
flee, so far as local affairs are concerned,
politics were entirely ignored and a
citizens ticket nominated as follows !:
CITIZENS CORPORATION TICKET.
Mayor. J. X. McCracken; Marshal,
Isaac Holt; Recorder, Henry Wolford !;
Treasurer, U. Orsinger; Councilmen,
2 years, Peter B. Beidler; r. A. Hen

SCISSOR, John Lime; Constables, Amos
Bowsher; Isaac Holt.
Monday came and most lively in
terest exhibited by the friends of each
candidate during the entire day. All
went off in the best humor, but it was
very evident that there was an extra
ordinary amount of scratching done.
When the vote was counted, and the
announcement made that the Citizens
Candidate for Mayor was elected by a
majority of IS with the success Of sew
eral others of the citizens candidates,
there were more glad faces in Upper
Sandusky than it has been our pleasure
to witness for a long time.
We utterly disclaim any political
significance in this result. The cleo
tors of Upper Sandusky for once threw
off partisan feelings and resolved to
select the best men and grandly they
succeeded.
We cannot close this hastily written
article without giving utterance to our
conviction, that those Democrats, who
threw aside politics, and were thus in
strumental in bringing about the hap
py result, exhibited degree Of patri-
otism and devotion to principle which
entities them to the gratitude of every
lover of peace, good order, and prosper
| ity of our town. We can assure them
| that they will never have occasion te
regret their days work. 1t was wei
