IF YOU WANT a REAPER,
Be sure and get the
VALLEY Chief
COMBINED REAPER and HOVER
THE BEST In THE MARKET

Read what Farmers living in this County
say Of them:
Town OF NEWTON, Nov. 29,h, 1870.
E. CONWAY, ESD Dear Siy:-You wan.
to know how the Valley Chief Reaper ard
Mower you sold ne suits. II is all you Nsr-
ranted it to be and is entirely satisfactory
when cutting my grain. The boys al around
here that had machines, came to see it work.
and they owned up that it was stronger built,
pulled nearly one-half lighter and done bet
ter work than any of theirs. You can sell to
every man here that wants one next season.
Respectfully you're, RoDY White.
Town OF MANITowoc, Nov 29ih, 1870
E. CONWAY, Esq-Dear .Sir:-Your letter
Of the cath, to hand. You ask me what
think of the Valley Chief Reaper and Now
CT, bought Of you last summer. In answer
l would state thai for the past three years
have used and seen operated the most ap-
proved machines introduced here and think
your Valley Chief the best for the following
reasons: 1t is fully equal to the best as a
Reaper and surpasses All as Mower; its
build is stronger and its draft the lightcst Of
any have seen; it addpts itself to the most
uneven surfaces and cuts lodged Grain,
grass or peas better than | supposed could be
done by :.Iy machine. II is fully s. tisfactory
and l confidently recommend it to anybody
wanting Reaping and Moving machine
Yours truly, JoHy HALL.
Town OF LIBERTY, Nov. 20, 1870
EDWARD CONWAY, sq.-Dear Sir
have great pleasure III stating TO you that the
Valley Chief Reaper you sold me last sum
mer, has proved n complete success. / did
not think when buying it that any machine
could do the work it has done. | have work
ed it with my lightcst team, and can do more
work with them than my ncighbors, who have
other machines, with their heaviest horses
1t suits this country better than any ether
reaper | have seen, the country being rough
it can be worked SO easily and facilities for
raising and lowering SO good that can work
it on any kind of ground. | have worked II
on wheat, oats, grass and peas, ard have 10
hesitation in saying that it exceeds any ez-
pectation had ever formed Of what u reaper
could do. You may eoun. on selling good
many around here next season. Yours
truly, NATHAN STEWART.

The two counties above named

them, go far as to make Senatorial
nomination. Letters have been ex-
changed between the delegates from
each county, with view to fixing
upon time and place for the re-as
}sembling of tho Senatorial Conven-
Etion, but they do not look much
toward an agreement.
This matter is becoming serious,
and if care and the proper spirit OF
conciliation is not exercised. bicker-
sings will arise that will give us d
Democratic Senator in a Republican
district. We beg Of you, gentlemen,
therefore, to settle this matter and
be done with it. The Senatorship is
not so big thing as to warrant any
man, or set of men, to hazard har
mony to obtain it. Besides, If no,

crossing the line of the U. r. r. II.
at 6 o'clock at Lone Tree, and last

tance when met by the tornado; then
commenced a struggle Tor the right
Of way; electricity, wind, water and
hail, were the victors; the train
came to dead stand, and it required
oil tho power of tho engine to keep
it from being driven backwards.
For moment we thought The train
would be hurled from the srlck, as
we felt one side being lifted, ,ut in
stantly the wind changed to direct

saved US from q terrible disaster.
There were several columns of
funnel shaped air, or actual water
spouts within the line of the storm,
Gone of which ! had u full view, and
whenever they passed they swept
everything before them. Houses
were lifted into the air, and torn all

Wks and What They are-The Origin Of
tRe Organization.

The term Orangemen is one of the
unhappy party designations which
contributed ior nearly century to
create and keep alive religious and
political divisions of the worst char
acter throughout the British empire,
but especially in ireland. The Or
age organization had its origin in
the animosities which had subsisted
between Protestants and Catholics
in Ireland from the Reformation
downwards, but which reached their
full development after the Revoiu.
tion OF 1858, and the wholesale con.
tiscations Of Catholics property by
which that event was followed.
From that time, the Catholics of Ire
land may be sand legally to.have lost
all social, political, and religious
status in ireland. Some attempts
which were made in the latter part
Of the 18th Q. to amolierate their
condition, excited. especially in the
north, the alarm of the Protestant
party, who regarded the traditionary
" Protestant ascendency" as endan-
gered. Acts Of violence became OF
frequent occurrence and, as common
ly happens, combinations for aggres
sive and defensive purposes were
formed not alone by the Protestants,
but also by their Catholic antago-
nists. The members of the Protest
ant associations appear at first to
have been known by the name OF
{" Poop ofday Boys" from the time
at which their violences were COM
monty perpetrated ), the Catholics
who associated together for selt-de-
fence being called "Defenders." !"
Collisions between armed bodies OF
thcso parties became OF frequent
occurrence. In 1855, pitched bat
tie, attended with much bloodshed,
WAS fought in the county of Armagh
Tho steps taken to repress these dis.
orders were at once insufficient in
themselves to prevent open violence,
aud had the effect of diverting the
current into the still more dangerous
channel of secret associations. The
rule and llliterate mob Of Poop Of day
Boys made way for tho rich and in
fiuential organization of the Orange
| society, which, having its first origiI
| in the same obscure district which
had so longSbeen the scene Of agrari
anism, by degroos extended its ramifi
cations into every portion or the Brit
ish empire, and into every grade 0
socioty from the hovel to the vcr,
steps of tho throne. The name o
tho Orange association is taken from
| that of the Prince of Orange, vii
ham Ill, and was assumed in homo
of that Prince, who, in ireland, ha

We observe from Colorado paper
that Matilda Fletcher is creating
quito furore in that distant territory.
The Georgetown Miner says:
"The lecture of Matilda Fletcher
on last Friday evening at the M. II.
Church, was attended by a respecta-
bic and appreciative audience. The
subject matter of tho discourse "Are
You for Sale," or "Civll Service Re-
torm," was discussed in an eloquent
aud mastery manner, and carried
conviction to the mind of every one
present that the vast patronage now
welded by tho President of the Uni
ted States should be placed in the
hands OF the people, tho source OF all
power. Tho residents Of Territol les
should insist on q reform in our civil
service. The pioneers who discover.
settle up and render valuable the
public domain, are disiranchiscd and
have no voice in the national coun-
ellis. Our governors, secretaries and
judiciary are appointed at Washing
ton, and the people are not even
consulted. We are taxed without
our consent and are powerless te
right our wtongs. :

ORANGE PRECAUTIONS.
One of the Masters of an Orange
Lodge says all the Orangemen in
the procession carried revolvers un-
DER their coats, on the parade, but
had no occasion to use them, as they
were protected by the military and
police. More than half the members
of the Orange lodges are American
citizens. There is nothing in their
oath or obligation inconsistent with
their duty as such.
THE ACTUAL Loss.
The daily papers still differ widely
in their lists OF casualties. They es-
innate the killed from 40 to IS, and
the wounded from so to 14S. 1t is
believed the actual casualties much
exceed these figures, though the
full extent of the loss will never be
known.
THE INVESTIGATION.
Undoubtedly an effort will be made
by the Tammany politicians to make
capital out of the forthcoming inves.
tigation in some way, but the longer
it is deferred the better chance there
will be of arriving at an impartial
conclusion.
FEELING TOWARD HOFFMAN,.
The Irish Catholic laborers gener-
orally arc vehement against Hoff-
man, and blame him for the slaughter
Of the rioters. They swear he ought
to be hanged, and declare they will
no longer vote the Democratic ticket.
To-day, Hoffman could not get twen-
ty votes from that class. Ali these,
and the fifty or sixty thousand pro-
fessional ruffians who form part of
our popolation, are loud in their de-
nunciation of the military afid swear
vengeance. The members of the
regiments who acted as an escort to
the Orangemen are warned not to
expose themselves in dangerous quar-
ters of the city.
TAMMANY
has been denounced by tho Union
League for it's action in the recent
troubles.
