The sales in this section have so far at
tracted large crowds, and everything sold
brought good prices.
The sugar season is dragging along slow
| ly. Last week the run was pretty fair.
About half crop may be reported so far.
Our roads were muddier last week than we
have seen them for years it was next to
impossible to travel some of them on ac-
count ofmud.
Jacob Schrock, who was so unfortunate as
to break his arm few months ago, is still
unable TO perform manual labor, and ii is
feared that he may lose the future use ofhis
arm entirely.
When an Irish laborer comes to town and
gets full he is soon knaped and marched
to the lookup, while some of our own citi-
zens get equally as full and attend public
gatherings such as sales. and become per-
feet nuisance to both buyer and seller,
while all the officers stand around, and no
one says P. We think there should be no
partiality shown in this respect.

different Colleges the coming summer. We
hope their time in attending these higher
institutions of learning may be spent very
pleasantly But remember all great men

Isee in every paper read that the Blaine
and Lincoln boom is increasing daily. will
indite my own opinion in regard to this
BOOM" which have obtained through in
quiry and observation, and for which no
one is responsible but myself. Gentlemen,
there is no doubt that Blaine and Lincoln
are the first choice of large majority of the
Republicans of this state, if not of the Uni
ted States | don't need TO go to New York,
or Philadelphia or Pittsburgh to find this
out, but can determEe it right here at
home. In Brothersvalley | am positive
three-fourths ofthe Republicans take!Blaine
and Lincoln as their first choice. OF course
our Republicans will all support the nom
nee of the National Convention. / hear
some one say, Blaine can't carry New
York" Such talk, in my opinion, is worse
than folly. If Blaine and Lincoln cannot
carry New York, there are no other two liv
ing men whom the Republicans can nom
mate that can carry it. Why shouldn't
Blaine and Lincoln carry New York? /
ON sure every Stalwart would support the
- 4 = I,.t In 10
pendent Republican would go back on
such ticket. In my opinion this would
make ticket as strong, if not stronger than
the ticket of 1850. People don't like to be
they intend TO be deceived in regard to our
delegates to the State Convention. Liyen-
good and Cover should also publish cards in
the HERALD and define themselves on this
question and let the voters know what they
intend 10 do when they go TO the Conven-
ton. Undoubtedly Somerset county wants
to Send Blaine and Lincoln delegates to the
Convention, but if what the HERALD pub
fishes is correct in regard to Spangler and
Harrison, then the Republicans Of Somerset
county would spurn the idea of sending
such men TO Harrisburg and trusting their
political welfare in their hands. Somerset
county has plenty Of good and true Repub-
licans to represent their wishes at the State
Convention.
/[By reference to the cards of Messrs. Liv-
engood and Cover published in another col
umn, Now and Then will see that they
place themselves unequivocally on record.
1t was supposed that their position was un-
derstood, but in order that there may be no
excuse for grumblers, they have sent us
these cards for publication.-ED.l
Now AND THEN.
