GENTLEMEN Your note OF the 2ist inst
requesting ma to be an Independent Prohibit
ton candidate for Senator in this.district. has
been duly received and its contents carefully
noted. That thore is an urgent demand for in
dependent action in this matter is fully corrob-
orated by the coercion practiced by the repre-
sentatiyes of both political parties TO force
unworthy and unfit men upon :he sufTrages OF
| @ @tne people, as well as the dissipation and de-
oauchery practiced while carrying into effect
the vii OF few political wire workers, nstead
OF the viii of the people. The practices in
duised In and the influences brought to bear in
securing political nominations, should not be
! ind0rsed by the honest, sober thinking people
OF the present day. Therefore consent to your
request TO become an Independent Prohibition
candidate for Senator, and Will do all in my
power to advance the cause and insure such an
expression OF disappropration al the polls us
VIII convince machine politicians that there
Is yet some manhood abiding in the people
Very respectfully yours,a JOHN j. EVANS.

4 PLEASANT AFFAIR.-The tin wedding
or tenth anniversary of the marriage of Mr.
and Mrs. a. y. Jones, of this place, was
celebrated at the residence of II. Kinkead
Esq, the father of the lady named, on We'd
nesday evening last, and was participated in
by twenty-five or thirty Of the relatives and
fri do 4 Z Iii hos Il.
all of whom had attended the wedding of
the happy couple on the 25th of October, 1866
and all OF whom enjoyed to the utmost the
elegant feast and accompanying festivities
served up on This occasion. 1t is of course
needless to say that tin wedding implies
the presenting of various articles of tinware
TO the welded pair, and il is equally needless
to say that the present affair was eXcep-
tion to tie general rule, which took a wido
enough scope this time however, to include
several silver coins, a silver cup or mug and
an elegant brass kettle. Fortunately enough
for the worthy recipients, the various articles
presented are not only exceedingly useful,
but com biue nearly everyt thing of household
utility comprised in ware of that kind the
largest and smallest of which are a huge
dish pan, the gift of our greatly respected
townsman, Hon. A A. Barker, and dim in
utive tin box, containing the silver coin re-
ferred TO, presented by the estimable lady of
that gentleman. Other donations followed
In rapid succession, after which the assem-
bled guests indulged in pleasant converse
until about o'clock, when supper was an
nounced and all present turned their atten-
tion for the time being to the rich viands so
bouutifully provided, of which we need only
say that VIC never sat down to a finer feast,
and all are aware that what a country print
er don't know about good suppers is hardly
worth finding out. 1t was indeed a substau-
tial repast and one which reflected infinite
credit upon the ladies who prepared and
served IL ; but like all things terrestrial the
end came ouly too soon, and that end was
followed an hour or so aft0r by the disper-
sal of n very pleasant party, all the parti-
cipants in which no doubt sought their re-
spective homes highly gratified with the
kind treatment they had received. As fit
ting feature Of the festive scene it Is proper
to note that Mrs Jones wore the some dress,
blue silk, in which she was married ten
years before, aud our lady readers at least
need not be told that it bore very little re-
semblancs to the elaborate wearing apparel
so much in vogue among fashionable femi-
mines of the present day. And now, in con-
clusion, tender to Mr.. and Mrs. Jones
our best wishes, coupled with the sincere
hope that they may live to celebrate their
golden wedding forty years hence, and If we
are not there to see may we be in a much
