respectively. The increase of %, 1868
in the total vote. over that of last
year may, no doubt, be safely cited
as a proof of the peculiar interest
which good citizens took in cam
paign for public honesty. The figures
IN this showing which will attract
the greatest share of the public at
tentiOn-those Of the Greenback vote
will be construed in many different
ways, and which Of them il the right
one only the progress of events can
prove. If the party should continue
to increase at the same rate, or at a
rate at all approaching it, it would
not be long, of course, before the or
ganlzation would cease to be a bal
ance Of power, and become power
itself. But if, as some suppose, the
party fairy exhausted its strength
in this last effort, and is already
wasting away, this year will have
been its greatest. Between these two
opinions, it will soon be easy to de-

Wellsville heartily responded to the
call for the wherewith to purchase
the necessary ground, and the works
are now in process of construction.
Two kilns are to be put in operation
early in the spring, while the capaci-

for six kilns, should the addition be
deemed advisable.
Business is improving in the place.
A number of fine residences are in

is much more cheerful than a few

The community was a good deal
shocked lately by the sudden death
of Mrs. Arthur. Her husband, Rev.
John Arthur, died few weeks pre-
yious, after protracted and painful
illness; and his devoted partner,
worn down by sorrow and watching,
became an easy prey to the insidious
heart disease. Her death took place
at the residence of Mr.. Matthew
Love, who, together with his lady,
visited Oakland last summer as the
guests Of Mr.. J. B. Randall.
