WEST PERU.-Died, Thursday morning
Sept. 9th, 1880, Mr.. William Tucker.
Aged 20 years. The deceased was we'll
known and highly respected. He was be-
loved for his manly qualities which were
demonstrated in all his dealings and mode
of life. Most of his active life has been
spent in this town. Success crowned his
noble efforts. AS a neighbor and citi-
zen he was kind, obliging and true. As a
husband and father, loving and devoted.
The good he has done and the influence
felt, live after him. He has gone home to
enjoy the full fruition Of his labors. For
20 years Mr.. Tucker was great sufferer
but he bore up during his protracted Ill

Among the subjects for consratr

Among the subjects for congratu-
lation on the result of this political con-
test is the election of Geo. d. Bisbee,
esq.,, TO the State Senate. All the fusion
papers made this point of special advice
to the voters of Oxford County-that
they should defeat Mr.. Bisbee. AS clerk
of the Hale Committee he has unearthed
many of their rascally tricks and frauds,
and had thus elected their animosity.
On the stump his familiarity with the at
tempted steal made him prominent and
most successful speaker, while his debate
with +. NJ. Fogg placed the distinguished
tabulator in the position of dodger and
false defender of his official conduct.
With all this to excite them, his OPP
ponents were untiring in their efforts to
defeat him, yet we are glad to see that
he is triumphantly elected and indicated
from the charges of fusionists. He
comes in with a larger majority than any
other candidate on our County ticket.
