Good weather for hunting, and our sporting men
putting in the time to the best advantage. John
Martin and Rhodes Fish took in fox, last Thurs
day, and made some fun for a wolf. They have
some fine hounds.

that has been taught in Martin school house.
We do not write this advertisement for Mr.
Baker for he is too we'll known to need such, but
q compliment to our worthy School Board, in
their wise choice.
Our neishbor, J. L. Noble, is meeting with sue

er as he is Republican, there is bright future for
him.

BLAINE.-Blaine 10 giving some Of the as piring
politicians good deal Of trouble. They clam
ored for him in Ohio, to help carry the State for
Foster. He consented, but Sherman's men made
his appointments in the dark corners, where be
could not interfere with the Sherman boom.
But in those dark corners the people turned out
as they had never done before and got up meet
ings that discounted those held in the populons
districts. The worst Of it was, the people came
with banners all about Blaine, such as "Jim
Blaine, our next President" and all that sort Of
thing. This could not be borne; 50 some Of
Blaine's appointments were cancelled, and he
was sent of to Iowa, where the woods were full
of Blaine men, and where he could not hur any
other mans boom. But the places in Ohio wh ere
he spoke, showed the heaviest Republican 3 aims.
On his way home from Iowa, Blaine stopped
in New York City, where Secretary Evarts was
having big Republican meeting. Blaine was
invited to the stand, when be at once took the
crowd by storm. They yelled themselves hoarse,
and all about Blsine-"Blaine, our next Presi-
dent" and all that. They almost forgot that
Evarts was there.
This Blaine boom is having one curious effect.
All those double-breasted pure fellows, the fel-
lows too good for this world, who delighted to
abuse Grant, and the whiskey Ring, and all
that, are now the foremost fellows in whooping
up the Grant boom. Their envy and jealousy Of
Blaine are SO overpOwering, that they will glad
ly take Grant, to keep Blaine out. Aud Blaine
is not caring cent. He will do more for Grant
than any of them.

OUT AT LAsT.--Gov. st. John has issued q
proclamation, announcing such degree Of des-
titution in Ness and other south western Coun-
ties of Kansas, from failure of crops by reason
Of droutb, that they are in need of assistance.
This is just what we said would be the case,
some months ago, and for which We were sound
ly abused by old Stumbaugh and Others. But
perhaps Stumbaugh was SO intent upon his
game of trying to blackmal Senator Ingalls,,
that be had no time to ascertain the condition
of the people in his section Of country. But
that does not alter the fact that help is needed.
Kansas is able to furnish it all, and should do
so, at once.

y The St. Joseph Herald thinks George W.
Brown made great mistake in attempting to
write history of Kansas while John Speer is
living. 1t is a fact, that whenever one under
takes to write of early Kansas, and especially of
Jim Lane, he has speer at his throat. While
Speer is good authority on many things pertain
ing to early Kansas, he is the poorest authority
in the world on Lane; for the truth is, he W IS
SO completely wrapped up in Lane, and blinded
to his faults, that he could not see the defects
apparent to others. Lane could make him be-
lieve black was white; could rob him, and make
him think it was all right; and could hoodwink
and deceive him, and he regarded it IS an honor.

much given to bluster and blow, and served for
company and amusement. From the great

to be q false alarm. Any information regarding
it will be thankfully received-pot by its friends

Il Jay Gould now gobbles up ono or two
Western railroads every day. The 6rst thing
people do upon getting up in the morning, after
attending to the more pressing duties, is to find
ont what Jay Gould did during the night. He
now has about all the railroads in this part of
the country, except the Atchson and Nebraska,

z One of the beauties of "re-united coun-
try," is the letting loose upon the newspaper
press horde of high-toned and veracious Con-
federate historians, whose business is to msrep-
resent, slander, and impeach the loyalty of some
Of the bravest soldiers of the Union. These sto-
ries are greedily snapped up by the Democratic
press, and given to the world as the very essence
OF truthful history. The latest story set afoat
by them, is that Major Anderson hesitated long
time between defending Fort Sumter aud aban-
doning it to the Rebels, without fight. An
derson, being dead, cannot deny it; hut his
widow has felt it to be her duty to publish q
statement refutng the foul story.

SOUTHERN DEMOCRATIC SENTIMENT.-It is
now the duty Of Republican newspapers TO COL
lect material for next years Presidential cleo
tion. Here is short and sweet morsel. On
the occasion of Gen. Grants recent reception at
Chicago, an editor Of that city invited Southern
Governors and leading statesmen to send their
congratulations. The following was received
from Robert T0ombs:
"ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. I'm. Z. Stone, Editor:
decline to answer except to present my personal
gratulatOns to Gen. Grant his safe arrival in his
country. He fought for his country honorably, and
/ fought for mine, and lost. i am ready to try
it over again. Death to the Union.
Il. TOoxBs."
This is the true sentiment of the Southern
Democracy, and this will animate them in the
Presidential contest. No matter what they may
profess and no matter what course the coming
Congress may pursue, for policy's sake, Robert
Toombs utters their true spirit. The unmis-
taxable expressi on Of the determination of the
North, in the recent elections, only augments
their wrath, and makes them more fixed in their
purpose of revenge against the Union, whenev.
er they shall have power.

REPUBLICAN NoODLE-We have condemned
the despatch of Toombs to Chicago, on the occa-
sion of the Grant reception; We must alss con-
denim that of Gov. Hoyt, of Pennsylvania, even
though it may have been intended for smart
gush, or to create a sensation. He says he is in
favor Of Grant for third aud q fourth term,
and President for life. The sentiment of Toombs
is that of a large proportion of the Southern
people; that of Hoyt, of but few of the Northern
people. No other man has given utterance to
this wish. man holding such a belief, or who
will even express it for the purpose of blow,
is not fit to bold Office in Northern State, and
Pennsylvania should take the earliest occasion
to unload him.

the principal objection raised by the Presi-
dent against its approval The argument
by which this recommendation will be sup
ported is in brief that the President vetoed
the bill because of its alleged abridgment
of the powers of civil officers. That in
reality this was not the intention, and
would not be the effect of the bill as here
tofore passed and that the President having
in the opinion of the Democratic party
evaded the main issue, he should now be
given an opportunity to pass upon bill
which shall present to him the sole ques-
| ton whether or not the army or any por
ton of it should be used to keep the peace
at the polls. For the purpose of attend
ing the caucus the Democratic majority

Every moment Of delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicious
choice of 5 remedy The amount OF testimony in
favor of DR.. Schencks Pulmonic Sy up, as a cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all hat can be
brought to support the pretentions of any other
medicine. see DR.. Schenck's Almanac containing
the certificates OF many persons of the highest
respectability, who have been restored to health
after being pronounced incurable by physicians OF
acknowledged ability. SChenck's Pulmonic Syrup
alone has cured many, as these evidences will
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ployment of two other remedies which Dr.schenck
provides for the purpose. These additional reme-
dies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills By the timely use of these medicines, &C
cording to directions, Dr. Schenck certifes thai
most any case of Consumption may be cured.
DR.. schenck is professionally at his principa
office, corner Sixth and Arch SITS Philadelphia

addressed.
