noon, instructed for Hileman for congress,
Lcmma for the senate and Holly for repre-

struct for Judge Crawford for congress,
when that gentleman declined the honor,

received the instruction for representative,
is prominent attorney of the county

a majority of thirty votes.
Mr. Jno. Keohler, the Eighth street
saloon keeper, has in his possession fine
carriage and young horse, which he intends
to rattle off. The carriage is brand new,
perfect in all its appointments, strong in
construction and beautiful in finish.

avail himself Of its use in healthiul drive
along our avenues these splendid summer
evenings. The horse is young one, gen
tie as a lamb, yet spirited enough for the
lover of fast ride. He is perfection every
limb and part, and could be utilized for
any ordinary purpose. We feel justified in
saying that the fortunate winner will gain
a prize of which he may justly feel proud
The chances are two dolla,s, and since they
are already going off like shot cakes, we
advise those who desire to try their luck to
procure chance at once.
