The Premium Engraving, issued
by "Peterson's Magazine" for 1877,
is not one of the cheap, colored ith-
ographs, with which the country is
flooded, but frst-class line and
stipple engraving, executed in the
highest style of art. The artists are
Illman & Brothers, and they have
engraved it, (size, 27 inches by 20,)
expressly for "Peterson's Magazine, y
in their most brilliant manner. It is
such a plate as would sell, at retail,
for five dollars. The picture repre-
sents that proudest event in our
national history, the SURRENDER OF
CORVALLIS It is full of authentic
portraits Washington, Rochambeau,
Lincoln, Knox, O'Hara, Lauzun, etc,
etc.-and on that account is invalua-
BILE. 1t is really one of the greatest
historical pictures. The artist is
Dumaresq, and it took prize at the
Paris Salon of 1875. Any person can
get this valuable historical picture,
gratis, by raising a club for "Peter-
son. for 1877, or by remitting $3.50
for it and for the magazine, the mag
azine alone being two dollars. This
is rare chance. Specimens of the
magazine sent gratis to those wish
ing to get up clubs. Address Chas.

STEAMBOAT HUDSON, Ocb- 1910.
DEAR News Why the travelling
public fail to enjoy the pleasure of
trip on our beautiful river, either in
going to or returning from the Cen
tennial, is because it don't know how
nice it is. Slow going up stream in
shoal water, truly. ALI the more time
to feast your eyes on the ever-ehang-
ing panorama which greets you from
either shore.
Iskip other points to describe
Pomeroy, the county seat of Meigs
Co., about 100 miles by river above
Observation-Disclosures we are to have
railroad connection with her soma
day. 1t is a mining and manufac-
turing town, of from 1000 to 5000
souls, and including Middleport and
Syracuse, it's lower and upper snb-
urbs, is seoe's miles long by no miles
wideI Coal, iron, salt, lime, and ce-
ment are its principal productions.
The Clifton Nail Works and other
Iron Mills are located on the oppo.
site side of the river, IN W. Va, when.
there is more space for building.
Vulcan forged his thunderbolts here,
I fancy.
Pomeroy is called the "Wall city"
and has, more hanging rocks than
Hanging Rock itself. There is a wall
of masonry the entire length of its
single street, fronting the river
then row of houses with gables
facing you, back of them the solid
cliff, rising from 100 to 200 feet in
height, from whose bowels the treas
ures of the city are torn. Coal is
worth 4 cts. per bushelat the wharf
at retail. Salt S12O per bbl., &c.
After sparring over tie bar at
Blennerhassett's Island, below Park
ersburg, our boat reached Marietta
at sunrise this morning. The Mus
kingum River puts into the Ohio
here. 1t is numerously damned for
purposes of slackwater navigation
Marietta claims to be the oldest set
tlement in Ohio. 1t has beautiful
location, and is a solid old city of
about 10000 inhabitants. The many
poles, with flags and srteamers gay,
denote an exciting political campaign
on both sides of the river. A gen.
tleman from W. Va. told me the De-
mocracy of that State are SO elated
over their recent victory that they
boldly faunt the Confederate colors
and cheer for JEFF. Davis and the
''lost cause" in many places in the
interior. Yours, NOAH.
P.S. See boat race? Ofcourse,
and we hurried to the guards. The
water is too shoal-the Hudson deep
ly laden, and the Courier passed
us without an effort. Well, we ex-
pect to reach Wheeling some time
tonight.

New Lexington. [

On Saturday night, Oct. 2S, oul
usually quiet little village was the
scene of quite an excitement, over q
pleasant little affair in Pensyls Hall,
in the shape of a musical entertain
ment, given under the auspices Of
the Sons of Temperance, in honor OF
the soldiers of the late war. There
were several of the old "boys in blue
in attendance, representing nearly
rs many of the regiments of Ohio, in
the late "onpleasantness" as were re-
cruited from our part of the county.
All who were present seemed to
enjoy the rich treat, and We'd with
each other in general expressions of
delight that they were permitted to
be there. There were about go per-
sons present.
After some time spent in social
chat, varied by the best of music
from Terrell's orchestra, the soldiers
and their ladies, together with the
Sons and Daughters of Temperance,
proceeded to spacious room on the
lower floor of the same building, and
there partook of a splendid collation.,
prepared by the Sons of Temperance
and other good citizens for the oc
casion, after which the company re-
turned to the hall, and heard Mr..
David E. Mccoy deliver one of his
old style impromptu speeches, on
Temperance and incidents connected
with the war.
The entertainment held the crowd
until nearly midnight, when all went
home, feeling that they had had a
pleasant time.
We sincerely hope this entertain
ment will not be the last, and that
your correspondent may be more for
tunate next time and be present.

The Election Excitement,

The greatest excitement has pre-
vailed all day to-day, "Wednesday
among our citizens of both parties,
in regard to the result of the Presi-
Dental election. The favorable
news for Tilden rec, ived early in the
morning set the Democrats nearly
wild, and produced corresponding
depression among Republicans. This
state of things lasted until about /
o'clock P. NJ, when dispatch came
from Cincinnati, that the Republi-
cans were claiming Hayes election,
and that the result depended on
Louisiana and Florida, which were
close, but both claimed for Hayes
This greatly revived the dropping
spirit of the Republicans, and turn.
ed the tables on their opponents. 1t
was followed by the dispatch from
Columbus at 4.30, given elsewhere,
that the New York Republican State
Committee were telegraphing to Co.
lumbus, that Hayes was certainly
elected. The Republicans became
jubilant over this intelligenc, and the
Democrats gave up to dependency,
and almost ceased hurrahing for Til
den. The news received by the Gin
cinnati evening papers at z O'Clock,
though not as late as the Columbus
dispatch, tended to confirm the
hopes of the Republicans, and at the
hour we write, Is o'clock P. N.Y. they
are thronging the streets, rejoicing
and exchanging congratulations on
the strong probabilities of Hayes
election, while the Democrats are
silent and depressed.

PAuIpING. %. Oct. 1876

PAULDING, u, Oct- 1910.
Ed. News The election passed
off quietly here, and to the gratifca-
ton of Republicans, they gaining the
victory on both the State and county
ticket-on the former by a majority
of 65, gain of 81 over last year,
and on the county ticket by maiori-
ties ranging from "a to 124, electing
all the candidates, five in number.
'Rah for Hayesl
The Democrats have been pretty
noisy here, having raised poles in
nearly every township in the county,
and used every effort to gain the day,
but alas they have padded up the
foul waters of Salt River, a sad and
desolate crew, bidding long farewell
to their greatness.
The Republicans have been very
quiet, somewhat like the Irishman's
parrot, which "didn't sing much,
but kept up divil of a thinking"
There has been considerable sick
ness in this county this fall, chiefly
chills and fever, but it has abated at
present.
Hogs are dying off rapidly in this
county. Some have lost all, and
nearly every one has lost more or
less. The disease resembles cholera
in some respects, and differs in 9TH
ers.
The corn crop was partial failure
again this year, on account of SO much
rain through June, keeping farmers
from tending it. On the river bot
toms and rolling lands it is good,
and nearly every one will have
enough to do them, which many OF
them didn't have last year. Corn is
selling here at 40 cts.
Apples are plenty and selling at
40 cts. per bushel for choice winter
apples, fall apples at Is to 20 cts.
Yours Respectfully,
MI. GRANT.
P. S. I am glad to hear of old
Highlands redemption, and hope
she will ''hold the fort.

AFTERLoNc YEARS.

Lines Written for Mrs. Philip Kramer, in MemoT
other Little Girls.
They said, In the passion of my grief,
Deaths shadow hangs above your brow,
But future years will bring relief.
Gods smile seems hidden from you now.
Lift up your eyes to Heaven aboveI
There are they, sheltered in Gods love.
"There, safe from harm, they wait the time
When you shall join the happy throng,
Take up the harmony sublime,
The life OF love, and joy and song,
And happily towards their bright home,
Your weary feet will joyous roam"
So I conquered pain, though oft shed
In lonely hours such bitter tears;
Kept green the memory of my dead,
And waited for the coming years,
With their promised rest and Joy. All mel
Come they never to set me free!
take sweet gifts from loving hands,
Such blessings as the dear Lord sends,
bow to all His just commands,
Although His rod my sad heart rends;
But miss my darlings; no joy seems pure,
And yet know His promise sure.
know that my dear ones walk to-day
The paths that happy angels tread,
But selfshly I'd have them stray
Through rough, cold ways, if but led.
The memory of their childish tones
But mocks my own afflicted inoans.
But know that in many bitter hour
They bring sweet thoughts Of God and Heav'E
In loving spirit hands, to shower
Upon my head. This blessing given,
They kneel at the feet of Him who died,
And pray that His grace with me abide.
So l lift my burden of life again,
Thankful for those He leaves me still,
For the joy of having, bear the pain,
Submitting humbly to His VIII.
They are His and mine. Yes, yes, I know
They are mine in HedUen, as mine below.

the result of the election in this is

been so very close that it may re-

States to decide it. The latest dis
patches, received a few minutes ago,
state that the result now depends on
the votes of Louisiana and Florida,
which are claimed by both parties,
and are SO close that it may possibly
require the official vote to determine
how they have gone. If Hayes gets
both States, he is elected; if not, he
is defeated.
The States conceded to Hayes are
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
