Election is over,

The Republicans of Elk have elected
the whole County Ticket, and are
happy.
The Democratic ring of this County
have gone up Salt River, led by
"Moustachc' of the Democrat; Powell
&c Kline followed in the rear, and
"Oyster" was the cause of it.
Twenty-Five cents apiece to the
children could not save you, Bob.

Ridgway had to tumble in and follow.

Yours Truly,

GitEitN ~ SPELMAN, Merchants.
1t is now everywhere conceded that this is
remedy never heretofore equaled in real
curative value. 1t accomplishes several i'm
| portant Indications chief among which may
| be mentioned:
]. 1t completely cleanses and purifes the
blood, quickly overcoming constipation,
| causing the liver to throw off it's bile and
cleansing the entire alimentary canal, rid
| ding it of worms and other vermin inhabit-
| ing an unhealthy stomach and bowels. This
action renders it peculiarly valuable in the
weaknesses, thick and impure blood, bilious
ness and lasstudes incident to the change
| from Winter to Spring. 1t causes those feel
ing dull, heavy, headachy, oppressed and blue
| to become clearheaded and cheerful within
| two days time. IN thus removing all humors
| from the blood, it cures all blood diseases
| from ptmple on the face to a grave scrofula.
| I'd. 1t has wonderful healing and nutritive
properties for the reliefof all irritations and
Inflammation within, and restoring and
building up the system. 1t thus strengthens
| and heals the Stomach, Nervous System
Heart, Lungs, Kidneys and all other tissues.
Sd. 1t is an active and permanent Nerve
Tonic, thereby adapting it to all grades of
nervousness" by building up the nervous
system. Nerve medicines will not act un-
less associated with cleansing remedies.
Hence the beauty this compound,
4th. By its healing and nutritive qualities
it becomes the necessary and best remedy in
all chronic Coughs. Assisted in these cases
by DIR. Fenner's Improved Cough Honey, the
lungs and throat readily heal.
5th. Owing to its Healing, Nerve Restora-
tive and Cleansing properties, it becomes the
best remedy now known for all that long list

Elk county gave Turnkey 627 ma
jority; Schell GA; Ncyes 652 and cleo
ted Oyster, Republican, sherifF-a feat,
which as Democrats, her people must
be proud Emporium Independent.
You are right Mr.. man the majority
of the Democrats in the county are
proud of their fleet" and sometimes
wash them, feat the Independent
man knows not of.
During the campaign a great deal
of fun was poked at Mr.. ID. G. Oyster,
who was running for Sheriff in Elk
county, by the papers throughout the
state. But Notwithstanding there
were five candidates in the field,
Oyster shelled out SO votes more than
any of them, and consequently was
elected. The home stretch was as fol-
ows: Oyster, $780, Kline, 500; Burke,
352; Everett, s.; and Rogan, rs.
This is probably the first case on re-
cord of an Oyster being elected to the
office of sheriff. The AdUocate says
that he is good on the "half SHE'LL" or
any way you perfer to take him. And
he is Republican Oyster too.- VIZ
Transport Gazette & BtLJctin.
The above is all right excepting tie
fact of its being the first case on record
of an Oyster being elected to the office
of Sheriff. d. G. Oyster was Sheriff OF
Elk county three years before, having
been elected in 1871. The people OF
this county are very fond of Oysters.
d. G. Oyster, Republican candidate
for Sheriff in the strong Democratic
county of Elk, was elected at the late
election by a majority of 50. Shells
majority in the county was GA. This
speaks well for the popularity of Mr..
Oyster.-Cldrion Republican.
They are having Il run OF oyster
suppers in Warren. We notice by the
last Mail that there are numerous il
not more oyster suppers announced
for various purposes charitable and
otherwise.-FOrcst RepubHcan
Yes, we are doing fairly in the hall
shell business. But the best run OF
Oysters was in Elk county at the
election when ID. c. Oyster, Republi.
can, was elected Sheriff! That isn't
one of the victories the Democrats
crow over Warren Nail.

George f. Smell, a young man of
nineteen, indicted for extracting
money from letters in their passage
through the Erie Post Office, in which
he was an employe. has been par
doned by the President previous to
being sentenced. The Erie Observer
says that young Smell appeared before
the United States Court at Pittsburgh
in July last and plead guilty. Owing
to the influences in his behalf on the
part ofa number of our citizens, who
sympathized with his family and
thought his youth some mitigation of
the crime, sentence was suspended
until the next May term. The grant
ing of his pardon establishes a prece-
dent upon a point over which the law
yers have differed in opinion. viz.
whether pardon can be granted until
sentence has been actually passed.

heads Of which were about sixteen
inches long, and literally packed with
seed. The yield in clear seed to the
head couldnOt beless than half plat.
If not suitable for human food, there
is no doubt of its value as food for
stock and poultry. The yield per acre
we think would reach over a hundred
bushels.
