the same cause which will produce in one person
an attack OF acute disease or slight nervous

THE AMERICAN FARMER.-The November

BILE reading for the agriculturist. A number of
original papers are given this month on the rear
ing of live Stock and several practical we'll
known sheep rasers give their views as to
the profits of raising this valuable animal, not
only for the wool and flesh, but as means of
improving poor lands; others on the rearing of
Cattle, Horses, Hogs and Poultry, are also given
from the best authorities. Mr.. Holman, of Vir-
ginia, has an able article on the termination of
Seeds and Flowering of Plants, worthy the study
of every farmer, and particularly commended to
the attention of the young. The Farmer de-
votes space each month to the business OF the
Grange, and its home department is furnished
with excellent essays, as usual, from the pens of
accomplished lady writers. The editors offer the

Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, d. G., Nov. 5th, 1878.
The Southern representatives who have
been dreaming of southern line of railway
to the Pacific and consequent revival of in
dustry, through the promised extension east
ward of the Southern Pacific OF California,
are much excited by the latest trick of the
Central Southern Pacific ring, which has
hitched teams with Jay Gould's Kansas
road, for the very purpose OF defeating any
Southern road. 1t is a grand move of the
railroad magnates TO defeat all competition in
transcontinental trade, and to strengthen
their hands in the fight against the Govern
ment in the effort to check its corrupt OPP
pressions. The North is equally interested
with the South in these movements, since it
is also discovered that the Central Pacific
ring has bought up the Pacific Mail Steam
ship line, the whole coast steamship trade
and the entire r. r. system of California and
| has bound the eastern merchants rs well as
the Government hand and foot. Congress
will he obliged to take notice of the immense
strides of this monstrous monopoly, which
bids fair to msgovern this country lift is not

A Good Income for some Energetic Lady
or Gentleman.

The Ohio Scale Works, of Cincinnati, have
just completed, aud are now introducing to the
public, under the title of the UNIVERSAL
FAMILY SCALE, an article that has always been
needed in every household; and, in communi-
cation addressed to the publishers of this paper,
the proprietors ask us to refer them to some re-
liable party who will represent them in intro
ducing it to the people of this county 1t is very
seldom that new article steps SO suddenly into
universal favor. Housekeepers are loud in its
praise, for it possesses the merit of being always
ready; there are no weights to hunt up and adj
just, is always reiable-will not get out of order
and is an ornament TO the kitchen. The de-
scription is simply u base surmounted by hol-
low column, in which works spiral spring so
scientifically gagged and adjusted as to weigh
anything up to twelve pounds with perfect ac-
curacy. On the top of the column is the plat
form on which the articles to be weighed are
placed. BY the mere turning of screw the tare
of the dish, plate, or whatever you may use in
weighing, is taken out of the net weight given.
Housekeepers at once see Its value in Weighing
sugar or fruit in making preserves or jellies, or
in testing the butchers or grocer's weight, and
the thousand and one cases that occur where
something that should be weighed accurately is
necessary. The Scales are handsomely painted

price charged for the inferior scales of the same
capacity. 1t seems to us that nearly every fam.

The Election.
THE RESULT IN hartford.


Notwithstanding Tuesday was bright and
clear, the vote polled in this county was light.
This may be accounted for by the fact that
many Democrats, feeling that the election OF
Mr.. Talbot was certain, preferred TO take
advantage of the good weather to husk their
corn. The white Republicans, also, felt no
interest in any of the candidates. as the cleo
ton of any one of them could not be regard
ed as a triumph of their principles. Very
few of them, consequently, went to the cleo
ton. The colored voters being left as sheep
without a shepherd, were for the first time
since they had votes, unorganized, and but
few of them claimed their privilege. Ofthose
who did, as many, perhaps, voted the Demo-
cratic ticket as any of the others.
Our brother editor, Mr.. A. P. McCombs,
the Greenback candidate, received respect
able vote, but it would not be safe to assume
that only those in favor of the greenback
theories he upholds voted for him. His per-
sonal popularity drew to his support num-
Der of Republican votes The vote for Mr..
Milligan also shows that the independent can
didate who places himself in the field, in this
county, in opposition to the regular Demo-
cratic nominee, is about as rash as Don Quix-
ote in his tilt against the windmill.
The majority for Talbot, in this county,
over McCombs, the highest candidate, is
1,17s, and over all the opposing candidates,
$780, Mr.. Roberts majority, in 1876, was
G49
In Baltimore county Mr.. Talbot received
n majority of 2,G47 in Cecil, $780, and in
Carroll 1000. His total majority in the dis
trict, will be over 5000 Mr., Roberts ma
jority in 1876 was 3,049.
The official returns for this county are as

The attention of farmers is directed to the
