A Large Vote P01lel-The Local Tick,


cts Being the Center Of Interest.


The weather Monday was all that could
have been desired in the way of fine
day, and as consequence large vote
was polled. Considerable interest was
manifested in the several towns, but it all
centered on the local tickets. As will be
seen from the returns given below, Ben.
ton township elected the straight Repub-
lican ticket. with the exception OF Clerk,
Treasurer and Highway Commissioner.
'rnis was surprise to the Republicans.
but they cannot claim the full credit for
the result. This was due largely to the
dissatisfaction of the leading Democrats
over the result of the Democratic caucus
last Saturday. They did not believe in
being sold out to the Greenbackers, and
as consequence many of them voted
and wor ked for the straight Republican
ticket. Men who had voted nothing but
Democratic tickets tor thirty or forty
years, voted the straight Republican tick
ct .for the first time. Many OF them could
hot swallow the coalition state ticket
and did not like to vote the Republican
ticket and did not vote either, as conse-
quence the vote on the state tickets falls
considerably behind that on town officers.
In giving the result we have placed the
Republican candidates name for the var
ious offices first. The following is the
result:

In justice to Mr.. Van Arsdale we would

out regard to the political proclivities OF
the candidates.

It is wonderful how many benevolent
men we find who have no money. They
feel for the cause of Christ, for the ne
cessities of the poor, for the welfare of
the heather and thousand other good
objects, but really they have nothing
that they can give. They have lost so
much, and property has deprecated SO
greatly, that they are restricted, and can
not do as they would. But how was it
when they had money? Then they used
it for themselves and for their own ad-
vantage When it is gone they are very
willing to give it away, but while they
had It. neither God nor man could
loosen their grasp upon it. They proved
themselves unfaithful stewards, and
have been put out of their stewardship.
They now have the opportunity of being
faithful over few things and if they
are thus faithful, the Lord can make
them rulers over many things. The les
son for us all to learn is to do good
while we can do it; while our hands IS
on the plough is the time to cut the fur
row. To-day we have the opportunity
to do something for the Lord. 1t may
be our last opportunity; it may be our
only one. Let us do while we can do;
let us give while we can give; let us
work while we can work. The night
cometh wherein no work can be done.

it is due, when it is in the power of thine

A CLEAR INFERENCE.-It is too true tbat most of the patented medical preparations thrown on the market emanate from men who can lay no just claim to professional educa tl0n, and who are, consequently, totally un- qualified to originate a really valuable prepara- tion. But we have the pleasure of stating that we know of one exception, at least, to this rule. We refer to Dr. Kennedy, of Rondout N. Y., the discoverer and proprietor of the popular medicine entitled the Favorite Reme- dy. He is not stranger in this region of the country, but regular and favorably known physician and surgeon of ROndout, where he has practiced his profession for eight years with degree of success which has surprised not only the general community, but also other members of the medical fraternity. Dr. Ken nedy is graduate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of the city of New York, and was for three years surgeon in the United States army during our late war. He has also been a member for several years of the Ulster County Medical Society. As a surgeon he has no superior in the State-being singularly bold, skillful and unprecedentedly successful in his operations. Is it not fair inference, We ask, that when a surgeon who has operated in SO many vital cases and never lost one ofthem, assures the people that the Favorite Remedy purfies the blood, thereby curing Scrofula anC

 

 Kidney Complaints, Constipation of the Bow els, as well as all that large class of ills pecu liar to women-that they simply take him al hls word and are cured according to promise !: In fact the Doctor himself does not hesitate te admit that part of his success in surgery is duo to the use of the Favorite Remedy in the after treatment of the patient, which preoented the return of the abnormal formations removed by the knife by giving tone and strength to the system of his patients-which had become de. bilitated and weakened by disease.

 In conclusion, we hope that no one who may be suffering from any of the diseases for whicl the Favorite Remedy is recommended vii hesitate moment to secure bottle and tes the truth of what we herein allege. w are willing to pledge our veracity for it tha none will be disappointed or deceived.
