B A lively contest is going ON for the office
of State Printer, in which the papers of the State
are gradually becoming interested, and taking
sides. The principal candidates are, George W.
Martin, the present incumbent; L. J. Perry,
of the Paola Spirit; B. J. F. Hanna, of the Salna
Herald, and Frank Root, of the North Topeka
Times. They are all good printers, and good Re-
pubicans, and either one would be satisfactory
to the Chief; although We should probably have
apreference among the lot.

for that purpose, has rented one of the market

preserved in all these Tilden movements, what

proposed to inaugurate him in a market-bouse.

Clari is a beautiful peasant girl, who
has changed her fathers lowly cottage

for the simple life che has led. and as
she enters, fatigued and melancholy,
she sings this song. The words are by
John Howard Payne, On American, and
though the music was called by Bishop
a "Sicilian air." it is now generally
agreed that it was really composed by
him. "It is the song" says Clsri, OF

The Death OF Ossian T.. Dodge.

We extremely regret, says the Amer

that We have to announce the decease
of Mr.. Ossian L. Dodge. Mr.. Dodge.
who is betterknowntoo our readers under
thenom de plume of'Ivan Ort. 1T will be
remembered, was regular contributor
for some time to the columns OF the
American Traveller. where many OF his
writings attracted the utmost attention
aud interest, especially his series Of
sketches of Palestine. Mr.. Dodge
when first he entertained the idea of
writing sketches of this nature, COM
menced tour through Egypt, Assyria.
and the Holy Land, and how well he
carried outhis idea and how thoroughly
he performed his self-imposed task is
superfluous for us 90 point out. Mr..
Dodge was also well known an musical
and dramatic circles, both in this coun-
try and the United States. He was for
some time correspondent OF the New
York Sun, and it may perhaps be of in-
terest 10 many to know that this Is the
gentleman who created such n furore
by purchasing a single seat ticket for a
concert when Jenny Land was IN the
zenith OF her fame for $500 at Boston.
He was subsequently editor OF the Bos'
/ ton Weekly Museum. Mr.. Dodge was
possessed Of fine literary taste, and
welded graceful pen as an essayisl
aud correspondent. In literary and
journalistic circles he made many
friends, who admired him as much fol
his rare and attractive social qualities
as for his extraordinary mental acquire
ments. He was fifty-three years o.
age. For many years he was secretar,
OF the Chamber Of Commerce OF st
Paul, Minnesota.

Charley Ayres. Morely's son-in-law, a

to Mrs. Marbles, two miles northwest
Of Okemos Village, as he says, for the
purpose of seeing if they took away
anything from the house that belonged
to him, as he had every reason TO sup
pose they were going to move away
that night. Mr.. Marble and friends
took their position about ten rods from
the house under tree TO watch deve,-

Of Mrs. Marble, a Mr.. Martin, whom, il
is alleged, has been living with her for
some time past, and her son, Willard

WARRESroS, Va, Nov. 2, 1876.
Colonel James B. o'Nei, Philadelphia.
DEAR SIR:-I have just received your
letter OF the 30th inst, informing me
that Democratic orator in Philadel-
phia had stated that General Grant
had appointed me to some Office. lam
glad that you denounced the statement
as q lie. II originated with the Til
den Bureau, and was pronounced by
me to oe false in letter published sew
eral weeks ago. They still continue to
circulate this with other lies about me.
L have never received in any shape the
the slightest favor or benefit of any
kind from General Grants administra-
tion, although was his cordial sup
porter. The few ex-Confederates he
has appointed to Office in the South
were Just as loyal to the government
during the war as Tilden was, and are
much more 80 now. am unable TO
account for the ferocity with which l
have been pursued by the Tilden or
gans, unless il be that they think ttat
they think that their candidate has
some claim upon me for my support in
consideration OF the messages Of SYM
pathy and cheer which received from
him during the unhappy period when
was fighting for the overthrow of the
union. But for the advice of such
men as Tilden at the North, the South
would never have plunged into the dis
astrous war of secession, or launched
her fortunes on
THAT perfidious bark.
Built In the eclipse, and rugged with curses

In haste, very truly,
