BRANDON, Oct. Is, 1872.
Mr.. Bulletsn:-I am in trouble again.
On my return home, after selling the last
of my stock of books, my youngest
daughter says to me:
"Pop, where's yer So? The last Bull
LETIN had the red cross on it."
Says I: "Well, what does Greeley
man care for Grant paper, anyhow"
"Oh, pop! ye amt Greeley man, be
YEP" says my Oldest son, Amaziah.
SAYS 1: "What do you know about
Greeley, or Grant, or anybody else9"
"Cause," says he, Il heard the preach
or last Sunday read about the dog has
returned to his vomit and the SOW to her
wallowing in the mire,' and if he didn't
mean Greeley, don't know what he did
mean"
go to bed, sir!" says I.
He went, and I got ready to write you
to let the paper stop, if you could afford
to lose my patronage, when In come JAS.
Dyedinthewool. Says l. "Jim, how is
Greeley"
"Wcll, Joe, I'll tell you. You know
that yer lop cared SOW O. mine, how she
was allus gittin' out the hog-lot, and no.
body know'd how? Well, one morning
me and my old woman we watched and
seen her crawl into one end Of holler
log and come Out'n the other. Now, Joe,
the log was crooked, and turned it
over, and the next time she tried it she
Just came back into the same hog lot"
"Well, JIM" says I. "what about Gree
ley?"
Says Jim: "This yer crooked Liberal
dodge leads back into the same old Dem
ocratic hog lot. Keep clar ont, Joe,
| keep clar ont"
Jim left after this abusive talk, and
settled myself down for spell of medita-
ton, when, "Joc," says Rhoda Maria
Chats my wife).
"What," says l.
"Have you, in your travels, heard any
thing from Ohio or Pennsylvaniae"
"Woman," says !, with all thy faults.
I love thee still, and the stiller you keep,
the better"
Now, Mr.. BULLETIN. dout you see, l
am in trouble. My family give NC no
peace, and | am almost tempted to take
no more Greeley in mine, but here are
two dollars, let the BULLETIN come one
more year, for the sake Of peace in the
family. Yours in perplcxity,
UNCLE JOE.

GnEELEYIsM IN HAZLEToN- are
informed by one of our Hazleton friends
that n couple of legal gentlemen of this
city, Liberal and Democrat, went to
Hazleton n few evenings since to hold
Greeley meeting By aid ofRepublicans
they had a fair audience, and spoke their
pieces, the Democrat certainly to his own
satifiction and the Liberal, judging from
indications, with no great amount of
comfort to himself or the audience. So
far good, but they went on to commit the
objectionable blunder of attempting to
organize Greeley Club, when it was
found that there was not enough Of the
proper material present to fill tho offices,
aud they desisted. The Republicans
present were intensely ticklcd and were
all ready to raise the roof with their
cheers for GIANT, but in pity they desist.

How 1T AFFECTS THEMThc effect of
the elections last week upon the confed-
crater of this vicinity manifests itself in
all manner of ways, except that it is not
at all celebrating. Some Of the Liber-
ais, like Capt. SCOTS coon, came right
down, without waiting for the final coup
de grace. Olsthis sort was the man who
the other day walked up and paid bet
he had been foolish enough to make on
Greeley's cleo ton, at the same time re-
marking that he was not sure that he
would throw his vote away on the Dolly
Warden candidate, now that his defeat
was foregone conclusion.
Another prominent Liberal, who has
one element of a great commander, in
that he always leaves open his line of re-
treat, was heard cmphatically assevcra-
ting the other day, that he had hun
dred dollars for the man who ever heard
him say that he would vote for Greeley.
We think his money is safe, but the De.
mocracy have been under the impression
that they had him securely booked.
AS for the Democrats, they are &C.
quaintcl with grief, and from long habit
round up and take it without violent
demonstrations. Quite number, how
ever, announce their intention to cut
loose from the dead body Of Greeleyism
and vote for O'Connor

TAsTEFUL.-Stepping into Mrs. Hobbie
& Co.'s New Millinery Rooms, the other
evening, we were confronted with one oil
the finest and most lavish displays Of Ia.
dies finery we ever sat eyes upon. The
new store is fitted up in tho neatest and
most convenient style of any in town,
and its shelves. cases and drawers are
filed with stock of laces, trimmings,
millinery goods, ribbons, flowers, SC.
well calculated to fill lady with delight
and her husband with CONSERVATION
We doubt If a similar establishment in
Iowa can show finer array or a neater
store.

spacious Baptist Church was filed with
an audience enthusiastic and appreciative
enough to have satisfied any speaker,
and it put Mr. DOnnan in his very best
vein. On this occasion he delivered one
of those compact, argumentative, strong
yet courteous speeches which has dis
| tinguished his present canvass of the
| district. He covered the whole ground
of political controversy, dealing in fact,
figures and argument rather than invec-
tive. He showed up in trcnchant style,
the hollowncss and insinccrity Of the
Liberal movement, and the fragrant in.
constituencies Gifts representative, Horace
Greeley. He set forth clearly his own
position on the tarif-which is that safe
and sensible one between the eXtrem es
Of free trade and prohibition-and other
| matters in which his hearers are interes-
ted. and triumphantly vindicated his nc
ton in Congress regarding the ship canal
project. His remarks were interrupted
by frequent and hearty applause. The
effect was to strengthen the already
strong confidence of the people in the
ability and faithfulness of our Represen-
tative and to deepen the conviction in
their breasts that every consideration Of
prudence and regard for the public good
demands his election by a more dcci-
sive majority than before Every indi-
cation points to this result.

And he said well, for hardly were
the steps of the second youth cold

a fourth drew near, with the ques-

"Did you notice the fine, noble

"Yes!" cried the swelling elder.
