comprehensive mind, and is so live
ly, pleasant and agreeable in conver-
sation, that if one could hear her
converse without seeing her, they
would suppose it was some young
lady, so lively and fiuently does she
carry on a conversation. My old
friends Gen. Biddle, Johnson Moore,
Joseph Patton, Thos. Paxton, Brown
Parker and others, appear as kind,
cordial, social and agreeable as in
their youthful days, and time seems
to have made little inroads on their
persons. My lady friends Mrs. Nc
Clure, Mrs. Fred Watts, Mrs. Moore,
Mrs. Julia Biddle and Others seem
to grow more social, fascinating and
agreeable as age creeps upon them,
and their beautiful faces even in old
age are calculated to make lasting
and impressive impressions on all
who see them. My old and true
friend, Gen. Jim Allen, is the same
old noble hearted, whole-souled, gen
erous and kind friend that he proved
himself to be in his youthful days,
and his kind daughters, Mrs. Porter
and Mrs. Allen, are SO kind and at
t%entive to their fathers old friends,
that to be known by them is to love
and respect them. May prosperity
and happiness attend my friend jim
and his aimable family. l called in
company with my friend L. G. Gould

the volunteer as well as its present
editor, and visited the sanctum of
brother PETER, of the Valley Senti-

of them and found them all agreea-

A severe storm of wind and rain
visited the eastern coast last week,
doing great damage to property,
wrecking vessels and destroying
lives. In Philadelphia alone the
damage to property runs up into the
millions. The steamer Express,
bound from Baltimore to Washing
ton, foundered at the mouth of the
Potomac, and twenty lives were lost.
The ship A. S. Davis went ashore
near Cape Henry, and the entire
crew consisting of eighteen men were
lost. A large number of vessels
were lost off the Maryland coast.

Mr.. Risinoer. Inirmary Director

MI. Risinger, Infirmary Director
elect, comes to his own defense over
another persons name. That is thin.
Mr.. Risinger must know that every
body knows that the individual whom
he put forward to espouse his cause,
never wrote the article, IA Demo-
crat answers the Democrat" 1t
won't do, MI. Risinger. Nobody is
opposed to any and all improvements
that are necessary and needed for the
comfort and benefit Of the unfortu-
nate and afflicted of our County In
Urinary, but how fine brick walks and
new stone fences during these tax
pinching. times, and just on the eve
of an election, can inure TO the "com-
forts" of the poor house inmates, we
don't exactly understand. If we
lied about none bat Democrats be-
ing employed on the electioneering
work at the Infrmary, please state
how many Republicans assisted?
And how does it come that every one
of these employed Democrats were
at work on election day, scratching
the name of Mr.. Deem and putting
that of Mr.. Risinger on the ballot,
and almost forcing it upon Demo
Gratis 10 vote? Come out, Mr.. Ris-
niger, don't barricade yourself be-
hind one ofyour workmen. Our col
umns are open If we have made any
false statements. We again assert
there is q change needed in the Coun-
tv Infirmary, and those who are best
posted know it, and the fact that
majority of the voters in "Preble
county indicated TO the contrary
proves nothing in these days of pc.
~litical degeneracy, ballot box frauds
and Presidential stealing. Men il
public positions nowadays too otter
traduce the power of their trusts fol
their own succession, and are con
tinued against the honest expression
of the people.

The New Orleans Democrat says
that those parts of the city that were
reeking with filth aud miasm, escap-
ed the yellow fever, while in the best
built and among the most c%leanly and
well-conditioned people, not q square
escaped, and the Cincinnati Enqui-
g says the same freak governed the
cholera in that city in 1882. Then
we suppose in order TO escape pesti-
lence, we must live in filth. 1t won't
do, gentlemen.

The Department of Agriculture
estimates teh wheat crop of 1878 at
400, 900. 0Oe bushels, that the corn
crop will fully equal that of 1877,
and that the cotton crop may equal,
if not exceed, the great ante-bellum
crops. The oat crop will probably
amount to over 400, 600, 900 bushels,
and Irish potatoes, 1O2, 900, 0OG bush

The financial outlook in England
still continues to grow more dark
and unpromising, as smaller failures
begin to occur in all directions. The
"panic" seems inevitable, and all the
indications go to show that England
is doomed to undergo the bitter ex-
perience that overlook the United
States in 1878. 1t is a sad thing to
contemplate, but it will surely come.

This Sarsaparillai is a combination Of
vegetable alternatives = Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock-with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully COM
bined, that the full Alternative effect of
each is assured, and while it is so mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all owe the coun-
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence Of the superiority of this Sar-
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
GRITTY to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

There are numerous good reasons Why the
army should not be reduced, and none Why it
should be, and the opposition of the Texas
Congressional delegation to Mr.. Banuiug's bill
should not be attributed solely to the especial
one they have, namely, the constant require
mept of large portion of the army to defend
the homes of their constituents from Indian
aud Mexican raids. A nation of forty millions
of people certainly has use for an army as large
as the present one, and if the system of outrag'
ing and plundering the Indians that has been
in progress for years past be allowed to continue
and the Indians be thereby driven to actual
desperation, instead of reduction, the army
will have to be increased, and that, too,at time
when the urgency of the necessity will moi
allow of much discrimination 10 the selection Of
the material. 1t is to be hoped that Other
democrats beside those from Texas will view
this matter 10 proper light, and not allow
their prejudices to influence their Judgment
We are all of one nation now, and if reduction
Of the army will be injurious to the welfare Of
the country it should not be permitted, even il
that army under President, Grant was used fol
improper purposes.

The vote 90 Mr.. Goodies bill, stopping the

failure. Why this generation, that suffered all
the evils of the war. and is overburdeaed With
taxes to pay the interest on the debt incurred
by the war, should be taxed to pay the prlncl-
pal, when the creditors don't want the principal
paid. is hard to comprehend, and more especi-
ally 80 when We consider that owing to the fu
ture growth and improvement of the country
the payment of the principal by those who are
to come after US. and for whose benefit the debt
was contracted. will be mere bagatelle. If

further trouble about providing a sufficient

what is happening in the outside world, 80 that
the affairs OF the State are well administered
and goiug all right. The people Of this County
are hard working, industrious set OF people,
" DO are so methodical in their ways that only
horse race or political fight car ever arouse
them out of their proprlety and make them
grow wild with excitement.
It is too early in the day now for the people
to worry themselves over the coming Congress
sioual struggle, Tut still tho muttcrings OF the
storm are now plaioly heard, and when the po
litoal tempest does come old Rappahannock
will roar a. loud as the rest of them.
The one fixed idea that the people Of thi:
county HAYS 10 regard to the Congressional a.
pirauts. is that they wish the best mau to win
but the county is utterly opposed TO the re
nomination OF General Eppa Hutton, for they
think he has held the position long enough
and that be ought to make room for newcl
men. Certainly whoever Rappahannock casts
her vote for, it will not be for the resent 10
| cumbent.
Many ci'izeos arc urging Mr.. j. Y Menifer
of Washington, Rsppahsnnook, to allow hi
uame to b. used as a candidate, against Gen.
| Hutton 10 the convention. Should he consent
he could without shadow of doubt, carry
| the county against any opposition. Indeed, 81
| we'll known is Mr.. Menitee, and so clear his re
| cord, that he would probably Carry part o
| Culpepcr and also portion of Madison.
