The Treasurer's Sales commenced
on Monday morning, and continued
until yesterday afternoon, when they
adjourned until the 10th Of July, at
which time those tracts remaining un-
sold will be disposed of. The atten-
dance at the sales was good, and the
bidding spirited. A comparatively
small portion of the lands were sold to
citizens of the county, most of them
being taken by parties from neighbor-
ing towns and from a distance. The
Treasurer starts on his annual trip
around the county on Saturday next.
= We have only twenty candidates
announced for the Republican nomi-
nations in this county, and yet people
seem to think that candidates are very
plenty this year. In Clarion County
there must be upwards of fifty candi-
dates on the Democratic side, and Mer-
Ger county has two hundred and two
candidates in the field. When we
take into consideration the fact that
there are thirteen offices in this county
and district to be filled, our announce
ment column does not loom up as big
as it might.
