7ai BREEeH LOADING SHOT GUNs.--Breech
leaders are becoming very popular with
the crack shooters,and many of the best
hunters are procuring them. Mr. VIM
B. Sheldon, Of this village, has for two
or three weeks been the owner of one
of the Parker guns, of their very best
make, which upon trial at target-shoot-
ing, proves to be a first class article,and
better than the established standard. =
He now owns, without question: the best
gun in Yates county, though it is posi-
BILE another Parker gun in town, upon
further trial, may prove close rival in
shooting qualities. The gun is provi
ded with shell which may be loaded an
indefinite number of times, and the op
Grafton of firing and loading can be per
formed as often as once in, five OFTEN
seconds. The hunter with this gun, can
go prepared for any kind of game, as
he can withdraw one shell and inser. an
other ia an instant. The guns are made
Of the very best material, are simple in
construction and not Liable TO get out
Of order The prices range rom S75
to over 5000, and the cheapest are Just
as perfect as the highest priced gins,
though not so highly finished We saw
a green hand last Monday make tar

In sheet Of paper lsx24 inches, At 80
yards. Mr., George E. Poyneer has ac-
cepted the agency for the Parker, gun

one of the best marksr,en and most
successful hunters In this section, and
he would not undertake to sell gun

man ny his record, his principles, and
his tastes can be more solemnlv pledged
to labor reform, in the true meaning of
the phrase, than is Horace Greeley
The whole of his long life is nothing
less than eulogy upon labor! and what
q eulogy it is! Beginning at the low
est round Of the social ladder, with no
powerful friends on whose aid he could
rely, with no capital save health and
good habits, he has gone upward, step
by step slowly but surely, until he reach.
eel the summit of his profession, and
stands, forward to-day as the chosen
Champion of great and growing party,
and oRandidate for the first Office Sn the
gift Of hiS countrymen. 1t is no exsg.
gera'jion to say that he has never wasted
an hour IN idlencss, or gained dollar
by dishonest means. What he is and
what he has, are the legitimate results
I9f system1atic, persistent ! york, backed
by economy and liberal supply of
hard common sense. He IS not the
creature Of accidents, owins fame and
competence to a series Of fortunate cir.
cumstancsS over which he lad no con-
trel; he has been pre-, eminently the
architect OF his own fortunes, and his
career, unstained by single blot or
blemish, is, a noble example of those
simple, all Sufficient virtues which in
every age and among every people have
been rightly deemed the indispensable
foundations of genuine manhood. Not
a few men who have climbed from OBJ.
scurity to renown, thinks that renown
increased by concea!ing as far as posi-
bic the lowness of their origin; but
Greeley has ever felt ap honorable pride
in recalling the memories of his earlier
years, and recounting the struggles of
the poor printer boy in the sharp bat
tie of life. He has pointed out the rug
ged path which he himself followed not
for the purpose Of vain.glorious boast
ing, but as an incentive to others as
poor and obscure as he was to 60 and
do likewise. From the instant he as
sumed the editorial pen he has zealous
ly advocated all measures having for
their object the advancement of the
working classes, and has never permitt-
ed an opportunity which could be used
for their advantage to pass unimproved.
At all ii mes and places, in season and
out Of season, be ha 5 fought their fight,
and given them the full force of his in
fuence and his reputation. If elected
president, he will pursue the Same
course, and whatever tends to the amel-
ioration of the lfbp9rers condition in a
mpral, social, or financial point of view,
will obtain from him cordial approval
and substantial assistance
As between Grant and Greeley the
workingmen of tie United States sure.
ly canhot be at loss to decide. The
former is well paid and highly honor
ed soldier; the latter, ip every bone
and sinew of his body and evelv instinct
of his atlire, is-a workineman.
