Har­ rison's most formidable competitors for the Goverhship of next year's Dem­ ocratic state convention* The friends of Gen. John A.

Nearly all of the war- veterans are for him. The friends of President Arthur are not without hope that they may secure at last a portion of the Illinois dele- gation in the next National Conven­ tion, As near as we can And out most of the leaders of the Illinois Democracy are in favor of sending a delegation to their National Convention favorable to Samuel Tilden, if he really wants the nomination. If not, they will ln^ divided between their three "favorite sons"--John M. Palmer, Lyman Trum­ bull and Win, R, Morrison.

Harrison is to be the Democratic nomi­ nee, it might be a good idea to put a good strong ChicageRepublioan agasust him. For Attorney General Mr McCartney, the present Incumbent, will be a can­ didate for renominatlon, and State Senator Geo. Hunt, of Paris, will also be urged for that plane. The general sentiment among Re- puoilcans is that the one-armed sol­ dier who is now State Auditor should be renominated and re-elected.

It in the only book that ever \>ame under my observation that covers entirely every subject the practical farmer or breeder is interested in. The portions devoted to the diseases of horses, cattle, sheep, ewiiie, poultry. &c^ alone make the book worth many times the price. Every farmer who" lives far from a physician, wiil, in times of sickness and emergency, appreciate the medic­ inal department, and the poisons and their antidotes. They are invaluable. "The book is not only valuable to the fanner but is as much so to the farmer's wife No hougew'.fe should be without one. As one who has been a farmer I can recommend the work." J w. BEGOLE, Governor of the State of Michigan. THE FARMER'S COMPLETE ExcrcLO- PEDIA is having a larger sale than any booK published within the laatl live years. Why? 1st. Because it is the largest book ever oflered for its price. 2d. Because it covers every topie of interest to a fartnei. 3d. Because any agent, experienced or i-experienced, can convince a farmer in five minutes of the great value of the book. No book has ever been published that lias received the Indorsements this work has. The entire State Gov­ ernment of Michigan, endorse the book as the standard book of reference on all farm topics. It is a large, handsome volume of 775 pages, printed on fine paper, illustrated with the necessary cuts and diagrams, and bound in cloth and library leather. This is probably the cheapest book ever sold. The plan of the book is exceedingly simple and very comprehensive, it Js divided into twelve divisTons: f . T N U FARM.

Jeflry Smith is my uncle, Caleb Smith my grandfather, Benjamin D. my father, John G. ray uncle, and most of the other names mentioned iu the article are old familiar terms, either from history or absolute acquaintance, I take some pleasure in comparing pio­ neer lify in a wild, woody region, with pioneer Ji/e in our beautiful prairie State. I feel excusable in asking a place for it: GEMS OK HISTORY. Or llonear Life In the Town of Wojdhnll. We are preittly Indebted to Col. Jeffrey Smith for Items of interest corincctcd with this paper, and before we procecd to write on the special object of tliia article, would say that Ool. Smith hears a name thai for numer­ ical strength is probably unequalled in Ainoi- ica, and his peculiar love for America, find her national institutions, is not ;o lie won. dcreil at when we consider that two of his brothers, JohnC an I Benjuuin 1). fought in the War ot 181*3 under Gen. M-'Oluru, near Xiagaia Fulls and in Canada. John was in the battlo of Koil Erie when the Itrilisli <icn- eral, Brock, was kilicd. Ti e Colonel has been member of the Assembly twice; a strong lfe- publican, a thorough patriarch, and a hopeful Christian. He has boen partially blind Mure lSf.'2, so that he has not been able to read for himself, ami uttnrly dependent upon his friend? for general information. His parents settled in Wondhull in 1S06, then comprising nil the territory of what now constitute* Troup8burg, Jasper, Greenwood, West Union and Woodhull. His father brought with him to his wilderness home aliout Jl.tfiH) or $I,4'X), which he spent in erecting a saw and grist mill, wnich was, soon alter its erection, burnt down, which reduced huu to |«overty with a family of twelve child-en on his hands. Mr. Smith wab by trade a weaver, which he practically followed as a family necessity, while mother and the girls would spin. They wore home-maoe underclothing ai d buckskin pants, and went barefoot half the winter. To show you what it cost us to get a grist ground about that time, let me tell yoi., siys the Colonel, a little circumstance. A man "by the mime of George Martin built a grist mill in Troupslmrg. Father sent me on horseback with three bushels of grain T<> that mill to be ground. When I got iheie the mill was broke »'own. The gristha'T tcrbe ground sol pro- needed to Knojjfville, Pa., "but thoy could not grind it there, sol hat to go to Lawrcucj- ville, Pa., down the Tioga Hiver to the Erwin House, then to Addison and back to Wood, hull rejoiced that the grist was ground. The llrst settlers came to 'Voodhnll in about 1805, and were Stephen Dolson, Daniel John­ son, Patrick Breakhill, lJethuel Tubbs and Samuel B. lticc, and Caleb Smith, who settled in the town about threo years after. This whole region of country was one vast, wilder­ ness, and even the music ot the woodman's axe, making an opening on which to erect a comfortable log house for the family, had scarcely echoed from liill to hill. At this time there was only one inhabitant west, of here, that wasS. It. llicu and family. On the Jasper road, or towards the North Branch, there were settlers wl»o<e names were Joshua Green, Acel Stiles, Mr. Mart r., Shad rick Ben- ham andLr. Itiflle, Not a single (lescendent of these pioneer names of 1H05, who felled the grand wilderness forest trees, and oevcioped into loveliness and beauty, her native loneli­ ness, danger and privation, is left to shure in the glorious triumphs ot thi* day. (n l¥s0.3, > n thi' ltidzu road, the Rice, Kill- patrick, Tubbs and Marten families settled. The only lemaini.ig descen lents of these pi.i- neers are the representatives of Bothucl Tubbs. In 1H0.», on the South Branch, were Stephen Dolson, Daniel Johnson, Mr. Clark and Mr. Courtwrighl. At this time we had but very few domes, ticated animals, especially sheep, which we could not keep on account of wolves. We hail deeralmosr without number, elk, bear, wolves, wild-ciits ami panlheis Joseph Tubbs commerced to build where now is the village of Woodhull, in 1838. The llrst church (Presbvterian) was organized in 1830, and the Rev. Mr. Pomeroy was the llrst pastor. The Methodist Church was erecte in 1818. The llrst, Gospel Sermon that was ever heard in Woodhull, was preached by Elder King, a Methodist minister, whose dio cese reached to Dullsville. Thd llrst Baptist church WHS erected in about 1850. The llrst pastor was Rev Mr, Lewis, in 18:!& The llrst school teacher in this town was Abncr Thom­ as. He taught on the Ridge Road in a build­ ing erected for school purposes by Zebu Ion Tubbs. The llrst birth in the town was that of Pollv Smith. The llrst death was a daugh­ ter of'Stepheii Dolson. The llrst marriages were Aljoer ThomaS| to Esther Tubbs, and Zub ilan Tubbs to garah Itic.e. Josiah Tubbs kept the lirsi hotel, and Ichabod Leach kept the first store. In 181*2 we had the typhus fever visit the settlement in very malignant form, which took away live of Daniel Johnson's family in one week. The nearest uie.ln-.-il practitioner we then had was Dr. Powers, of Tioga, Pa., nevertheless these pioneer times are tilled to overflowing with deepest interest, fur the Liberal concessions to close will be made.
