The Nation at Auction at st. Louis.

4 In the last days of the mighty mistress
of the world, ancient Rome, in the days of
its decline and fall, a conspiracy of all it's
criminal elements of corruption and vio-
lence-murderers, blacklegs, and thieves
put up the Empire at auction. The Tilden
of the period, with IA barrel of gold. bought
it. SO at St. Louis, Samuel J. Tilden with
his barrel of plumber, the accumulations of
. railroad wrecks, of the ruined fortunes of
contiding associates, and the spoliations of
the revenues of nation, State, and city, bid
in the government, placed 1T auction by
the Democracy-bough the Presidential
Snomination of Democratic reform. Can
they deliver the government
Fortunately this country is not in it's
decline or decay. Ithas, like all free States,
its seditious, traitorous, and criminal ele-
ments, such as were represented at st.
Louis, but its great heart is sound to the
core. Its original vigor is reinforced by
the robust strength of healthy manhood,
which batfied the malignant violence of
treason in arms, and deties all the efforts
of sedtion to undermine or weaken. 1t is
impregnably fortified in the loyal hearts of
vast majority.
Nevertheless the Democracy labor des.
perately to fulfill the conditions of its sale
of the government-to seize and deliver it
to the purchaser. Very wisely, from his
side of the bargain, Tilden made a portion
of the pay conditional upon it's delivery
the aid of the national power in the seizure
of all the governments of the late Confed-
crate States, in unrestraned riot in loyal
blood, and the sack of the nation in the
payment of thousands of millions of rebel
claims. Hence, all along the line, in every
State South, in New York, Pennsylvania,
Indiana, and Ohio, in every State North
and West, we have a furious charge of the
Confederate and rough, of the kuklux mur-
derer, ballot-box stutfer, naturalization
frauds, the slanderer and purjerer, the
brutal repeater, and the cruel bruiser, all
with powder in their canteens, in support
of Tilden, railroad wrecker, pillager of
the revenue through perjury and fraud, an
utterer of swindling shinplasters, and an
associate in the crimes of Tweed. Truly,
the chief is an embodiment and incarna-
tion of the infamous creed and crimes of
the party.
So, disciplined by High Constable Nor
rissey, all charge, in compact array, under
the insprting slogan: "A Solid South -
Of millions of rebel claims. Up,
loyal guards, and at them.

were solicited. The debt amounted to
five hundred and fifty dollars; of this
amount three hundred was subscribed,
which was increased to something over
four hundred dollars at the evening ser
vice, when Rev. g. r. Bristor preached.
In the evening, Mr. and Mrs. lnskip
conducted service in the VI. f. church
No formal order was adhered to. The
church was packed to its utmost capa-
city. MIR. Inskip opened the meeting
by relating at length his personal ex-
perence, which was exceedingly inter
esting. Mrs. Inskip, after singing very
swcetly one or two pieces, addressed
the audience Her address took the
form of an eXhortation to holiness of
heart. A very deep feeling was aroused
by her words, and soon the altar was
crowded by members of the church
seeking to enter into this higher chris
tian life That much good was done
by these two devoted christians, dur
ing their brief visit, is beyond doubt
They left for their home in Philadel-
phia, on the early train on Monday
morning.

As the time when every voter will be
other of the candidates to govern us for
the next four years, the question as to how
we should vote, grows more important.
The only argument the Democratic party
comes to us with, is the "hard times, " and
they say it is the fault of the administra
ton. This, we all know, they do not be-
lieve, but only use it as a pretext SO no
more of that; let US come down to home
matters. When they are in power, how
do they manage our affairs? Look at the
army of office-holders now feeding at our
State crib. When an assessment was made
under Republican rule, no such army of
assessors and board Of review at 81 per
day was deemed necessary, at cost to the
county of $3.50 per day. Think of il, poor
man, the cost to the tax payer. in Cecil
county, to support these asse s,rs and
board of review, three fourths of which
are not necessary to d. t work, is $3.50
per day. This is one of their great saw
ings, and remember it is entirely Demo
cratic institution. Before you cast your
vote, stop and think how our State affairs
have been handled by this party calling
themselves Reformers. Think Of Wool
ford's steal of half a million. Then take
look at your tax receipts and compare
them with what you paid when the county
was under Republican rule, and then deter
mine who saved and who squandered the

DISAGREEMENT.

place, held a club meeting, on Friday even
ing, the 21th ultimO, which, we under
stand, was attended with the usual amount
of slang 1t appears the club engaged the
services of the North East Cornet Band
during the campaign for sixty dollars, or
fifteen dollars per night. 1t seems, how
ever, the 9th ultimo was the third meet
ing of the club, and one of the stalwart
members called on the president of the
Band to give them a jlolo on the subject
They peremptorily refused, on the well
grounded excuse that they had not paid for
the two blows already received. The stall
wart gentlemen insisted on his claim, and
that lie would give the Band five dollars for
their services that night, when the presi-

that way-iaIing man, though fool. could
not err therein" he "calmly" wended his
way to his little nest of officials which con
sisted of a squire, collector, balIft regis
ter assessor and two broken down politi-
clans, who made quite a display of their
oratory, though not quite as enthusiastic
perhaps as they would have been with the
addition of music. We learn the squire
voters the necessity of supporting Tilden,
nasmuch if Hayes was elected, they the
colored mem would not be paid for butch
eling the hogs this Fall We are not quite
sure whether the honorable squire meant
the Democrats or Republicans. We sup
pose the Democrats, of course.
HALLOWEEN PASSED
Oft quietly; no mischief done further than
to roll a few stumps and logs in the road
SICKNESS.
Our town and vicinity has been the scene
of an unusual amount of mortality the last
fortnight. Mr.. Foracre, a man of nearly SO
years; Miss Moon, an amiable young lady,
daughter of Mr. Edgar Moon, Mrs. Harry
II. Abrahams, and Mrs. VIM. kline's fu-
neral from Chester. Mrs. Kline was a lady
of about forty five years, and spent the
greater part of her lifetime in this com
munty. All, we understand, died Of con-
sumption or diseases arising from bad colds.

FARMING,

This beautiful November day, the first
of the month, finds the farmers of this
busy and quiet community busily garnering
their many acres of corn, actively preparing
for tie fast approaching Winter.
DEATH
visited cur borough, and took from one
of its quiet homes, Mrs. Wamsley, in the
10th year, an invalid for many years past.
\ few days later, Mrs. Elizabeth Cruik-
shanks, devoted, useful, and exemplary
Christian lady, died. Her death was caused
by small chicken bone getting fastened
i'll her throat and ulcering, which produced
hemorrhages and death in very short time.
EXTRA MEETINGS.
a series of extra meetings are being held
at this place. Last Sabbath was a day of
unusual interest. Rev. DR.. Castle was
present and preached some very able and
impressive sermons. The effort to do good
is somewhat successful.
HALLOWEEN
seemed to inspire the youths Of this neigh
borhood with spirit of mischief which
caused them to act more like rowdies than
gentlemen. They went abont lifting gates
of their hinges and committing other acts
against the peace and property of the
citizens.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Apparently little interest is felt in the
election by either party.-Potatoes are
scarce, as few raised their seed.

sent flying early in the evening. This

ally endured in good spirit by our .peo-
pie. Later in the night, however,
body of young men appeared upon the
scene. These were not content with
fun within the limits of moderation,
but committed acts deserving public
condemnation. They removed from the
wharves several boats, which, of course,
they could not do without injury to
them. One Of these they placed upon

Total,

Starting with Connecticut, the chances
for Hayes are equally as good as Tilden's;
Florida more so, because even Democrats
concede it as lost to them New Jersey
will he closely contested, with the proba-
hilities largely in favor of the Republicans.
New York, with all the advantages of State
and city patronage, added to barrels of
money" to aid the Democrats, the result
is not by any means under their CONTROL so
that even with "Soid South" which we
will not admit, the figures point unerringly
to the election OF Hayes and Wheeler.

A NOVEL MOUSE TRAP.-On Tues
day last we were shown a mouse trap
which, for novelty, exceeds anything we
have ever seen. In our younger days
we had often read of the hungry rat,
who, enticed by the dainty appearance
of the fine fat oyster lying snugly in
its shell-house with its trap door open,
sacrificing his life in his attempt to Sc
cure dinner; but we always consider
ed it " fish story to be classed with
Robinson Crusoe aud Jack the Giant
Killer. On the day above named, how
ever, we viewed with wonder verifica-
tion of the rat story aforesaid Mr.
John Davis had stored a lot of fine
oysters in his cellar, and upon visiting
them on Tuesday, found that during
the night one of the largest of the
bivavles had captured, not rat to be
sure, but mole, which is much the
same thing The varmint had evil
IDENTIFY been intent upon making a meal
of his oystership while he had his door
open taking an airing; but he had cal
culated without his host, for the oyster
had closed upon him, and there he was
held fast between its shells, as dead as
a mole could well be-

A CARD TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC
For many years we have made two med
icines suited to the ailments of a vast class
of sufferers. Thousands of cures have
been made by them, and, in fact, the word
failure could never be coupled with them.
But within the last two years counterfeits
Of our medicines have sprung up, danger
ons in their close imitation of our Trade
Mark. To secure the people have
placed upon each genuine box of Holloways
Pills and Holloways Ointment the fac
simle of the signature of our Agent, Mr..
Jos. Haydock. To counterfeit this is felony.
We shall relentlessiy pursue any one who
initiates this with the utmost vigor of the
law. We most earnestly beg that the
great mass of the American people will
aid us in our efforts to protect their health,
and hell us in our task of bringing these
most unprincipled men to the bar of
justice. Uniformly refuse to purchase
Medicines purporting to be ours unless Mr..
Jos. Haydocks signature is attached to
each Box of Pills or Pot of Ointment and
the end will soon be reached.
