A Proud Welcome.

Friday a large number of Pres cott's best and most prominent cit izens, who were glad to know of the nomination of Hon. T. c. McRae, met and gave him proud and hearty welcome. When the train rolled up to the platform of the depot, the brass band was dis: coursing national music, and an wills rang forth loud acclaim in hon. or of his success. While the train was here Hon. II. w. McMillan of Clark, addressed the crowd from tue platform, congratuIating his hearers and asking them to go to work with him tc elect the nominee. Marching to the tabernacle in the park, the citizens were entertained
 by a fine speech from MT w. E Atkinson one of the delegates to the convention, and then MT. McRae addressed the crowd. He said nothing had sc assisted him in the canvass as the strong friend ship and support of his friends and neighbors here. That he ap. prcciated tho honor conferred in his nomination and the responsi. bility before him. That the race between him and his competitors in the nomination had been carri- ed on fairly and pleasantly. That now he felt he had a right to ask the earnest suppot of all Demo crats, as their nominee. That if elected he would be the represen- tative of the people of the whole district-would know no section in preference 10 another. But as he had stated at Teyarkana, he felt somewhat embarrassed like he did when he was married, as it was the first time he was ever the nominee of his party for Congress-. Thanked his audience for their kind confi- dence and support and the dem on strations of the day.

Tho Delegates from Nevada.

Hon. Geo. r. Smoote and W. E. Atkinson represented Nevada county in in the Congressional convention at Texarkana last week, and did it with great credit to the county and honor to themselves. Mir. Smoote took leading part in all the important proceedings of the Convention, and gracefully sus- tained his weli-earned reputation asa sagacicus leader and strong and skillful debater. Mir. Atkinson also took an active part and bore himself with becoming dignity in all the proceedings. He was SC. lected to nominate Mir.

 sentation speeches we have ever heard. It glistencd like a diamond,
 and was highly complimented by all who heard it. This presenta- ton speech, and the remarks oi Mir. Smoote in support of the rcso- lutions upon the death of General Grant were pronounced the best speeches made in the Convention.

Habitual constipation is not only one of the most unpleasant, but at the same time one of the most in- furious conditions of the human system, and is but a fOrerunner of disease, unless removed. This is usually accomplished by the use of purgatives, which for the time afford relief, but after their imme- diate effects have passed they leave the system in a worse state than before. To effect cure it is necessary that the remedy used should be one that is not only be is cathartic effect relieves the Bowels, but at the same time acts as tonic, to restore the organs tC a sound, healthy condition. This PRICKLY ASH BITTERs will do. Il removes the cause and restores health.

of rivermen or persons living in the vi
cinity of the place in dispute, who base
their beliefs upon nothing stronger
than tradition or implication. The ac-
tual relative level of land and water,
and the fact of the sailing (Which are
practically the mid channel lines) on
the opposite sides of the Joe Flogger
shoal, diverging from a point on this
line, spoken of by Superintendent Hill
gard, coupled with his statement that
this is the beginning of the spread, and
also the theory of Prof. Mitchell as to
the submerged delta, are far more
weighty reasons than traditional state
ments without regard to scientific
causes or geodetic surveys | am,
therefore, of opinion that it would be
proper for us to accept the decision of
the scientific authorities referred to, a
copy of whose communications are in
my possession. l will further state
that an atlas of the State of Delaware
from actual surveys by and under the
direction of B. G. Beers, published by
Pomeroy and Beers, in 1868, indicates
the point named by Supt. Hilgard and
Prof. Mitchell as the division line be-
tween the bay and river.

A severe hail-storm visited the south
ern part of Oswego county, and the
northern part of Onondaga county, in
New York, on Sunday. The damage
done is estimated at over 100000. A
dispatch from Troy, New York, says
the heavy rainfall Of August greatly
injured the potato crop. Farmers say
many hills do not contain a potato,
and everywhere is heard complaints of
rot. Much damage was done to the
crops and roads in the country around
Albany, New York, by severe storm
of rain on Sunday night The fall at
Albany during the night was 3 II inches.
According to a telegram from Quebec
the Colorado beetle has caused great
havoc among the potato vines in that
vicinity, and the crop is expected to be
light. A violent hail-storm, covering
track two miles in width, passed over
Belmont county, Ohio, on Sunday
evening. Many of the hail stones
measured from six to ten inches in
circumference. Window glass was
smashed, flour mill was blown down,
and acres of corn and tobacco were
ruined

A FORTUNATE PURCHAsER.-In 1740,
a merchant, the Liverpool Post states,
a director of the Bank of England,
went home with a note for $50, 900, and
put it on the chimney piece carelessly.
When he returned to his room, the
note had disappeared. He had only
been away few minutes, no one had
entered the room yet the note had dis
appeared. So he went back to the
bank and told his friends. He had
already paid in the money, and, be-
lieving him, they permitted him to
have another note for 100000. All
went well. He promised to pay the
first bill if it ever came to light, but at
length he died, and no one came to
claim the lost note. At last, one day
thirty years after, stranger brought
note for 100000, and demanded gold
for it. The bank authorities hesitated
but had to pay it at last, as the man in
sisted, and the note was to pay the
bearer. 1t was explained that the man
who presented it had bought the old di-
rector's house, and was pulling it down
when he found the note in crevice
in the chimney, whittier it had been
carried by the draught.
