Upper Flats Items.

Since the recent rains, our farmers
have been unusually busy some pre-
pairing their grounds to plant while
others are planting.
We expect to have some peaches,
and good crop of apples and cher
ries, providing slack Frost" does not
yet interfere.
The most of our public roads are
greatly in need Of repairs. We hope
they will receive the proper atten-
ton as soon as the spring planting
is finished.
Union Sabbath School, in an adj
joining neighborhood, has been in
progress since the first of April, and
is one of the best schools OF the kind
that we have ever attended. May it
ever grow in interest and be instru-
mental in the rescue Of many II wan

The average young man thinks
that woman is the only thing need

Mr.. NJ. F, Yeager called to see us
last week. His chanccsfor the Coun-
ty Clerkship seem very favorable
We know that he is trustworthy, and
believe that he is amply qualified for
the position.
It's remarkable that neither the
Editor nor any of his correspondents
says a word concerning Geo. w. Tip.
petit, Esq. His title to the County
Clerkship is most certainly good, if
we consider what he has done for the
success of the Democratic party in
this county.
Why have "Uppor Nino," "W. I.

boys who used to furnish items, with
drawn from your listof correspondents
without giving a single reason for
doing so2

dates shake hands oftener, and do
more smiling Than any other class Of
people? B. JANToN.

Whereas, Our legislators, state and na-
tional, have refused, or neglected, to enact
such laws as would harmonic the interests
OF capital and labor. And whereas, the eN-
listing laws tend to the pauperization and
homeless degradation OF the toiling masses,
therefore be it RoSolred,
/. That we are determined as the sover-
eign people OF this country, state and ma
ton, 10 use our power at the bnliot-box,
and by so doing, place men in authority
who will represent the interests OF the.
whole people, instead OF that OF class OF
individuals.
.. Therefore, we cordially invite the in
dustrial classes, whether mechanical, agri-
cultural or commercial, who are alike suf-
iering from vicious legislation, to cooper
ate with lis for the enforcement OF the fol-
lowing principles.
5. And be it further resolved, That as
laboring men, we ignore party, and meet on
a common platform, for the common good,
and LAYING aside our old party prcjudices,
we viii concentrate our efforts, until blind
justice, with scales equally poised and
sword uplifted, shall stand in high places,
the arbriter OF the peoples rights.
1. And it is further resolved that we are
in favor OF wise and iudicious, system OF
legislation, in enacting and enforcing
such laws rs will bear equally upon capital
and labor, holding in cheek those grasplng
monopolies which are crushing the life out
of the toiling masses, and sapping the very
foundations OF our free institutions.
D. That we are in favor Of abolishlne the
existing useless system Of County Courts,
extending the jurisdiction OF Justices, and
increasing the number OF terms OF the Cir
cult Court.
6. That we are in favor Of aholishing the
present system Of collecting taxes by the
Sheriffs, ard instead thereof have County
treasury, where taxpayers may pay their
taxes in sem.annual installments, and
thereby save to the people thousands OF
dollars.
Z. That we are in favor Of placing our
public school system beyond the reach OF
PARTY manipulation, and designing politi-
ci ms.
8. That we favor an animal appropria-
ton by Congress to aid worthy citizens 10
settle on the vacant lands Ofthe West, in
stead of giving them to monopolies. That
this be done by loan OF money at q low
rate of interest, and so secured that its re-
payment will be sure. Not another acre
for Railroads or specnlators.
Q. That we favor strict laws compelling
employers to provide all well known safety
appliances for the protection OF those in
their employ.

W. lt aiineals to the immagiua
tive ahdB rencetfve powers OF man
more than the ruins Of some ancient
Uncovered and forsaken castle?
Poets have invited the muses. to help
them weave into verse the legender-
ic chivalry and bravery that history
accords to their former owners aud
occupants. Painters have Wed with
each other in portraying the gran
deur of their solitude and decay
But is not the premature and social
wreck of thousands Of young people
annually, q theme that should appea,
much more keenly to the reflective
faculties of man? DR., L. V. Pierce,
of Buffalo, n. Y, prescribes his Gold
en- Medical Discovery in such affect
ions with the most gratifying results.

parcs with it in purifying and en-.
rriching the blood, strengthening and
invigorating the neryouss system. II

Pleasant purgative Pellets. In the
more complicated cases, DR.. Pierce
may be consulted by letter, and will
generally be able to prescribe medi'
cines especially prepared for each in
dividual case that will speedily re.
store nervous vigor and perfect
health.
