without avail, and he died as above
stated He leaves a wife and family,

county. All of our business men were
we'll acquainted with the deceased, and
heard of his death with genuine regret.
We have been intimately acquainted
with Mr.. Minneley for many years,
and have always known him as an up
right business man, whose word could
be depended upon at all times and nm
der all circumstances. He was social
ly inclined, and always made friends
wherever business called him. His
family have our heartfelt sympathy in
their affliction.

General Allen, the Republican
candidate for Auditor General, is
growing more popular, and deservedly
so,every day. The crediiable manner in
which he has discharged the import,
ant, and often difficult duties of his
Office, while it has secured him the
united support of his own party, has
won the confidence and esteem OF
thousands of Democrats, and his sue
cess by very large majority is a5so-
lutely certain. Gen. Allen has risen
from the ranks, and the ranks will
support him. His opponent, Justus
f. Temple, should withdraw from the
field hif he wishes to avoid a most
crushing defeat.
In company with Mr.. Robinson |
we visited Seldom Whitman's coal
vein, on Monday last. We secured |
some specimens, which can be seen at
Robinson 81 Bonner's Store, but wheth-
er or not 1t is the real camel coal, |
neither of US were able to tell. The
vein is not developed to any extent, and |
hence no correct estimate can now be
made as to the extent or worth of the
vein. If any one in this section is
posted on the camel coal question, we
wish they would call at Robinson's
store, examine the specimens and re-
port.
AS Gen. William MeCandless, the
Democratic candidate for Secretary of
Internal Affairs, considered the pri-
vate station to be the post Of honor,
when he was wanted in the field to de.
iend his country, it would be a cruel
thing in the voters of the State to take
him away from his private station,
now' They will not be guilty of any
such cruelty towards him, but will
