FERNANDO WOODS RECEPTION.
Hon. Fernandiwud gave reception on
last Tuesday evening. which was attended
by the brilliant lights of the Democracy.

We could Judge from members, his strength

44th Congress is most formidable indeed. :"
The election of Mr.. Wood 70 that posi-

interests of Pennsylvania, and every man

good fellow personally and well liked by
the Republicans, therefore his darts fall
harmless.
Our member,
HON. JOHN L. PACKER,
who was reelected by handsome majOri-
ty, while so many Republicans were swept
aside by the political whrlwind. is con-
graduated on all sides for his spleddd victo-

no difference with him. He is here the

for all with whom he comes in contact, and
a welcome to any of his constituents who
may visit the Capitol. Mr. Packer feels
very grateful to the people of his district
for their continued confidence. and is proud
Of his noble, generous, and hard working
constituency.
