William $. Hillss Of this city, after which Will

| Wthdrd0R.-Wm. F. Little of Mill Creek
Hundred, has withdrawn his name as a candl-

Denny, Hiram w. Moore of this city, Henry
| Whiteman Of Mil Creek, Henry H. McMullen
of New Castle, and VIM. A. Hukill Of St

citizens, and all deserve political favor.
