Presentation. J. w. Cattell and

two here last week renewing old ac-
quaintance. Mr.. Cattell was resi-
dent of Upton in 1876, after which
he returned to his farm in Springda'e,
from whence he was sent to represent
the county in the Legislature. He

Abe Adler made his appearance in
Upton Monday morning put In the
day shak ing hands aud went to bed
with lame shoulder. Abe says when
he gets to be President he shan't
'swing round the circle" unless pro-
vided with wooden arm. Chicago is
where Abe halls from and his close
confinement as cashier and book-keep-
er of large dry goods house there has
made him SO pale and thin that he
has to stand still u half hour to make
a shadow. Young man, you'd better
come back to the West!
On yesterday we were pleased to
receive call from Mr.. w. A. Webber,
agent for that justly popular western
newspaper, the Inter- Ocean. Mr.. w.
has spent the entire spring canvassing
only q part Of this State in the inter-
ests of the paper named, and his uni
form success only attests the fact that
the Inter- Ocean is what it claims to
be-a live newspaper devoted to the
practical interest Of the great west and
the preservation of the principles Of
true Republicanism.
