Promise and Performances.

The proprietors OF IIostetters stomach
Birters promise nothing in behalf OF this
famous ionic and regulating elixir which
it will not perform. No pretensions
irreconsilabIe with common sense are
made in reference 10 1t, but evidence Of
the most positive nature has been accumu-
lating for over a quarter OF a century in
its behalf which proves IL 10 be reliable
preventive and curative OF malarial dis
eases, an efficient and genial tonic and
general corrective, and specially valuable
in cases where the bowels, liver, stomach
o. urinary organs are affected. Debility,
the source from whenc. 80 many bodily
evils spring, is entirely remedied by the
invigorative action OF the Bltters, which
arrests premature decay and repairs losses
ofnervous and muscular power, while i'm
proving the appetite and rendering diges-
ton easy.

10 Settle on the Standards.
The celebrated Neshannock club of
New Castle, Pa, crossed bats at the Fair
Grounds, on Saturday, with the Stand.
ard club of this city This is the fourth
contest IN which the above mentioned
mines have engaged this season, and it
resulted in another defeat for our boys.
1t must be taken into consideration,
when the playing ofthe Standard nine IS
considered, that the New Castle boys ex-
eel, by far, any semi-professional organi-
cation in the country. They are superb.
or to any club outside of the League, and
not inferior 10 halfthe clubs IN that COM
blnation. Weaver, the new pitcher of
the Nocks, pitched very effectively, and
Bennett supported him admirably. On
behalf of the home club, Vennum pitched
with his usual ability, but sent balls in
much more rapidly than he mas ever
done before. Summers deserves as much
credit for his catching rs Bennett does,
when the pitching o! the respective men
is considered.
Johnson's first base play fer the Stand
ards could not be beaten. 1t is his first
attempt this season to play that difficult
position, and he did it without an error.
Mofiet, on second, and Junkins at short
also played we'll. On behalf OF the visit
ors, Ellis second base play was the fea-
t,re of the game.

The Democratic primary elections
were held Saturday afternoon and even
Ing last, for tho purpose of selecting
delegates to the county Convention
which meets this morning, for the pui-
pose of nominating county officers. AS
is we'll known, the contest for the noml-
nation of sheriff, has been the chief
topic of interest for the past three
weeks, the fight being narrowed
down TO Mayor Sweeney and
Sheriff Tingle. As the time for the
primary meetings drew near, the ex'
element grew greater, and tho other
county offices were hardly spoken OF, II
we except the Prosecutlng-Attorneyshlp.
However, the primaries were
held Saturday, and the friends
of both candidates worked in an excited
and vigorous manner for their favori!es,
in all the city districts. The voting in
all the districts proceeded with quietness,
and no disturbance occurred. In some
there were challenges, but everything
passed Oft quietly.
Early in the evening it was generally
conceded that Tingle had carried the
day, but Sweeney's friends would not
give up until the close OF the polls.
After eight O'Clock the crowd com
menced to gather around the REGISTER
office, to hear the news, and in a short
time they numbered hundreds. AS
the returns commenced to come iD,
the expectations of early evening were
verified, and Tingle's adherents became
vociferous and commenced their hurrahs
for their favorite. The country districts
had all along been conceded to MIR.
Tingle, and they had no concern
about that. BY ten o'clock 1t
wat generally believed that Tingle's del
egates had been elected in every district
in the county, except Washington. The
result is that Mr.. Tingle will undoubt.
eddy be nominated by the convention
which assemblies to-day.
What the convention will do in re.
gard to the nominations of members OF
the. House of Delegates, Prosecuting At
torney, County Judge, &c, we have
been unable to learn. We hope the
convention will nominate the best men
possible.
The following is the result OF the
Sheriffalty contest.
