The Iron Brigade boys from this town
had very good time at the reunion.
We know this from personal observa-
ton, as they all came home on the
"broad guage." The wooden brigade
also came home with flying colors.
The caucus on Saturday last was very
lively and interesting, particularly to
those in the gallery.
We rejoice with exceeding great JOY
that the candidates for the various coun-
ty offices, have got through with their
pilgrimage and by this time know their
fate. Between the man with expert
ence and capacity and war wounds, the
man with the latter and not the former,
and the man possessing all of those
qualifications, it has been fearful hard
for the average voter to decide which
to support. But the die is cast; we have
made up our mind to vote for them all,
as being the only way to get out of it.
If there is any unknown candidate we
have not been interviewed by send
him down at once and we will treat him
to-a drink from the village spring,
with shell thrown in Truly the thing
has got to be almost "bore.' and we
would like to see it reversed, and the
office seek the candidate just for a
change.
Our village is enjoying general good
health. A few severe cases of diphthe-
ria are reported by DIR. Hartford
The quiet of our village is no longer
disturbed by wolf hunts, roller skates,
or blackberry hunts. Our Club have
not been down to the river for a week or
more. We shall attend their next meet
ing and take notes, which we shall ex-
pect you to print, even if your CORE
spondent gets clicked in consequence
thereof
We have heard of three new candi-
dates Tor sheriff since morning, but
don't think, at this late hour, it is
worth while to send their names up for
publication.
We have just learned of the death of
Mr.. John Marshall, a well-known and
much respected citizen of our town for
the past thirty years.
Comrade b. +. Hayden, of Co. +, 9Th
Regiment, Wis. Vol. Infantry, is about
ready to rejoice in the receipt of pen
sion amounting to some $1,000 His
case has been one of many and vexa-
tious delays on account of negligent
agents, and red-tape formulas, but it
has come at last.

be sociabie at Mr.. Ishmael's Hall, on
Wednesday eve, Sept. 10, for the bene-
fit of Rev. Mr.. Wiley. All are cordial
