HOWARD FOR PRESIDENT.
People Who Would Like to Have the
General Elected Chief Executive.

]
WASHINGTON, Dec. ga petition
of some interest has been sent to the
| Grand Army officials of the district in
favor of General o. o. Howard for Pres
| ident. His name was suggested by Rev
| A. B. Deming of Oakland, Cal, in a re-
cent sermon, and petitions have been
sent out TO clergymen and Grand Army
men for their signatures and pledges of
support at the polls, if General Howard
should be nominated.
The heading of the petitions exhort
the enrolment and organization of all
| the friends of General Howard into
! legions in every ward, election and
| school district of every State imme-
diately. California legions are request
ed to send their lists of officers to Mr.
Deming, and to procure from him cam
| paign documents. When the petitions
are filed a request is made that they
| be sent to General Howard at Burling-
ton, VT.
General Howard is characterized in
the preamble as one of the nations
lfcompetent, loyal and worthy citizens
| He is further denominated in the pre-
amble as the first choice of Gods people
| for the Presidency of the United States
| i'm 1896.
/ The Grand Army posts of the district
fare not allowed by their bylaws to in
dorse any candidate or office holder,
and no action was taken concerning the
petition. 1t may, however, be circulated
among the veterans for their sigma
lures. and also among the churches, es-
pecially the Congregational. as General
| Howard is of that faith, and is particu-
Harry popular with Congregational peo-
| pie.
| Some argument has been made by
ls2ersons. not politicians, that General
Howard might be dark horse, and
would have a fighting chance If Mr.
Reed could not secure the nomination,
in the fact that he is himself Maine
man. and had commanded Maine regi-
ment at the battle of Bull Run.

Aneut Ministers.

A contributor to the Gowanda Herald voluntarily befriends ministers as fol lows; Being only layman I may be allowed to soliloquize about the rever- end gentlemen of the ministry. In the nature of their calling much of their time is spent gratuitously for the good of others. In conversing with ministers from time to time I have found that there is one part of their work where they are very gratuitously delat with by some people. I refer to attending funerals. Custom denies them the privilege of making charges for such labor, and therefore they are dependent on the sense of justice of those who en- gage them for 8 remuneration. We would not dream of employing Q doctor or lawyer or anyone else to labor for us without pay. Why should ministers be made an exceptiona We all know that they are not rich in this worlds goods. have heard them relate, aud tlis is probably the experience of all, of going several miles from home to officiate at a funeral and no one offer to put out their team, invite them to stay to dinner or even say thank you for all their trouble. No other class of persons would put up with such treatment. I have noticed that it is those who are able to reward the services given who are liable to for get many times to do so. This is one of the wrongs against worthy cause, which ought to be lighted.

An Old Fashion Surprise Party.

About forty of the friends of MT and Mrs M. L. Osborne, including repre- sentatives of the D. s. Cowles ost and Woman's Relief Corps, ooncocted 8 genuine surprise party for Wednesday evening, the 18th inst.
 Friends began to assemble at the Eddy farm house about 830 to adjust the preliminaries. The Post and Relief Corps were to appear at the close of their session in Armory Hall, about 9 o'clock. Mrs Osborne, member of the Relief Corps. was to be detained and then escorted home by two or three of the last to leave tue hall, giving all others an opportunity to precede her and get quietly seated before her arrival Imagine her astonishment to find all those whom she had bidden "good night" and others, occupying her house in blissful satisfaction.
 When the first burst of uproarous surprises was known, felt and expressed, the pleasant company settled down to free and easy chit-chat. By request Mrs Osborne recited beautiful recita- tion, which she had previously given in the hall, whereupon Mrs A. H. Adams, president of the Relief Corps, address ed Mrs Osborne in 8 very happy veln aud presented her with beautiful, sub stantial chair, the gift of her many lady friends. The recipient. with moistened eyes, replied tenderly with many thanks.
 When quiet was restored, Past Com. mander Adams presented Comrade Os borne with duplicate gift, the con. tribution of his comrades and friends MT Osborne msde a fitting response When the stately couple were seated side by side in their new oaken rockers they presented veritable type of hap piness and comfort
 A lively social time followed with music from the violin, and singing o "Auld Lang Syne," iuterspersed. Re. treatments of sandwiches, cake and coffee were passed in due time, and at { seasonable hour the company dispersed leaving MT and Mrs Osborne none the worse for being the center of attraction | for two hours. | Mir and Mrs Osborne will remove from town about April first, to occupy their farm recently bought in Weatogu, just west of this village in the town O Salisbury, only two miles distant. | H.

WHISPERS ADVICE TO WINTHROP.

A Lesson of Experience. In the harah schooI of experience man learns the rfpest wisdom and fs bess qualified e teach. Every huma. life bears ses. timony to this fact.
 Daniel Webster, the greatest man cradled on New England soil in any century, at the goal of hls career, look. ing backward and remem bering his own experience. thus advised Robert O Win. throp, then at the very threshold of that public life which sheds such imperish. able lustre on his name.
 Winthrop, if I were as young as you are, and just beginning my Compression. al career, would adopt different course from that which we are all pur. suing in regard to speeches.
 "I have lost my faith in long, lsbored efforts, to be printed a week after their delivery, and to be scattered over the country in pamphlets which nobody ever reads. I would speak short and often. I would take some part in every important discussion, and I would pre- pare every word which I proposed te say, and write it out beforehand, so as to give copy to the reporters the mo ment I sat down. In this way the next mornings paper would let my constitu ents and the country see and read pre- cisely what I had said"
 **
 Can this advice not be given with equal em mphasis in rel ,tion to advertis ing? If the great orator makes one mighty effort on some stated occasion and then lapses into silence, he ;s los in the swift tide of events the remainder of the time. Heard often, he is con stautly in the public thought. So, i the merchant has one grand display and does nothing the rest of the year, or on ly appears in print occasionally. people forget and turn else " here the rest of the year, But let the daily columns pro claim his bargains in an attractive and novel manner, and the tide of trade t6 his counters is ceaseless in it's flow. | is never permitted to ebb; is charged with constant success. a-
 As Webster said to Winthrop, Speak speak" we say to business men, "Ad vertise, advertise Be heard often 1T the right places and thousands of read CTS will become your daily audience never forgetting when to trade.
 Advertise: It Pays.
 It has helped make the "merchan princes" of our land, as oratory has pro claimed it's foremost statesman.

 At the conclusion of the exercises, re treatments consisting of coffee, sand wiches and many varieties of cake were served. Then followed another hour ot social conversation, parlor games and mutual congratulations that the debt or the parsonage was paid.
