"sEsAroRIAL.---we can congratulate our peo-
pie. both Democrats and Republicans, upon the
iaet that Hon. s. X. Peale, Of this city, has
ooived the Senatorial nomination in this district.
After closely contested fight amicable through
out, the conference, which met in Tyrone on Fri
day last, made Mr.. Peale the nominee, and we
believe he is the choice Of the entire district Al
though political opponent, s. R. Peale is an
honest man, and he will, ifelectej, represent this
district with ability and fidelity"
We clip the foregoing from the Lock
Haven Republican, tho Radical organ
of Clinton county. The editor in ques-
ton speaks from personal knowledge,
and it would be well if the other Rad
ical organs in tho district would copy
this truthful and favorable allusion to
our nominee. If elected" is model
irony. The election returns of the dis
trict should be shown to the writer. If
he knows nothing, something should
be spear-ed into him.

Young Han, Don't Chew.

One OF our exchanges says: "r oung man, beware
of the demon tobaeeol 1t has sent many young
man to an untimely grave, and cut short the lives
of some OF our best men. 1t saps the juices Of
life, and bankrupts your pockets" True, truei
Looking back over our acquaintances, we can
remember many young men who began smoking
at an early age and still perist in the habit, who
present great contrast to those who refused to
touch The weed. There was VIII Warner. He
smoked incessantly, and never got higher posi-
tion than bank cashier, while Bill Blobbs, who
never smoked, as coon as he became cashier
stole q million dollars, and is now living in
luxurious ease in Europe. Then there was
Dick Jones, who never touched the weed,
and his brother Bill, who was always
smoking. Dick has now q permanent position for
life, while Bill wanders about the street in rags.
Bill is tramp, and Dick is in States prison.
Then there was Mollie S. Her father smoked
and she eloped with q tin pedlsr, who has since
struck a fifty barrel we'll. Her school mate,
Jennie, came from aifamily that abhorred the
weed, and she has been married three times, got
two divorces, and third is pending in court.
When we remember these fearful examples Of
devotion to the weed, we shudder at the curse
which is on the country. Young man, you are
spending twenty-five cents a day on tobacco. II
you save that up, in a million Of years from now
you pocket the magnificent sum Of se1, $50 900,
and even in few years, by saving what you pay
for tobacco, you might be able to buy o nice
house and lot-vith a mortgage on 1t.
