UNIONTOWN.

The very difficult and hazardous task
of building a new foundation under the
store room of Mr.. Hugh Ferguson was
safely accomplished by Mr.. Robert
Wade, who removed the foundation
and a large portion of the brick work
of one side Of the building. Many OF
the brick over his head were only held
In place by the adhesiveness of the
mortar, and had they fallen he and his
fellow workman (Mr. Wesley Butler)
would have went to the next country
as the Zoarites would say. OF the large
concourse OF people assembled at Har-
risville, on the Sd of July, Mr.. w. was
the only one who had seen an con-
versed with Gen. Lafayette.
"Do you see anything in my eye."-
Capt. A. w. Lee could not see much,
but he was made painfully aware OF
the fact that large nail which he was
driving had glanced from the hammer
and struck him on the right eye-ball,
cutting into it in two places. The Capt.
is sure that the nail was extracted, yet
when he walks he can feel it turning
summersaults around the pupil and in
dulging in game of hide and seek in
the corners of his eyelids. In scanning
the political horizon the Capt. will still
be able to ego one eye on It" at least,
and to keep thoroughly posted on the
political topics of the day.
1t is not necessary to speak of the
rain at the present writing, everybody
knows about it. The rumor that the
grasshoppers had constructed an ark
| la1 tt,1t
primary meetings held on the fences
and sunny-sides of barns have beer
largely attended. Although the 'for
mer and the latter rains have deferred
the farmers with the work of gathering
in their grain, it did not affect the con
dition of those young men who were
compelled, regardless of weather, Il
harvest their wild oats, which was con
nected with a considerable amount o
expense; and that reminds us that il
has been stated by several persons thai
the young potatoes are rOtting in tht
hill.
AS Dr. Lafferty was formerly citi
zen of this locality and well known a;
an honorable Christian gentleman, the
fullest sympathy of friends and neigh
bors is accorded, and the wish express
ed that he may be restored to sound
ness of health.
The county ticket nominated at Bel
mont is one that will surely meet with
the appreciation of this township, and
although no interest was taken in the
primary meeting, we doubt if better
selection of candidates could have been
made. 1t is the duty of the Republican
party to vote solid, and if any one is
detected using his influence to defeat
any one of the nominees this should be
remembered against him when he asks
the suffrage of his party. FL.

In the caucus of the Belmont county dele
cation at Flushing, on Thursday, c. Fl. Arick,
Esq, of this township, was proposed as suit
able man to represent the county in the Sen
ate. Mr. Arick was one of the delegates and
was somewhat surprised at the mention of his
name in that connection; he acknowledged the
compliment paid him, but declined to enter
the lists. The names of Maj. Isaac Holloway
and ]. T. Schofield, Esq, were also presented,
but there seemed to be no one willing to sup.
plant the old and tried Knox. Had Belmont
presented to the Convention either of the
very good men named, he would have done US

If THE Gazette editor had taken the record,
instead of peoples say about it, he would not
have misrepresented our candidate for Rep
resentative, Mr.. Eli V. Cleaver last week by
saving that he was elected to the Legislature
by the Know Nothings. Mr.. Cleaver ran
upon the Whig ticket and was electedin 1858,
year or more before Know Nothings came
into vogue in this section. Besides, if he had
been elected by Know Nothings it should
work no injury to him in the Democratic par

one would think that he dictated the Repub

no reason why John should adopt the ticket

Important to those Using old style
Wheeler & Wilson Sewing
Machines

We are now prepared to put all the latest
improvements on old style Wheeler d. wilson
sewing machines, at but trifling cost. With
these improvements an old machine would
work as well as new one of the latest style
and we would guarantee it just as long as a
new machine. The principle of the new ma
chine is the same as the old, but changes have
been made which increase its efficiency, while
at the same time less care and skill are requir-
ed in its management. Seams are crossed
with ease. The work guided with scarcely an
effort. Nearly double its former power. No
under tension to manage. Every joint can be
frightened as fast as it wears.
