After playing a few tunes they were invited in by Mr. Granger and treated to an Oyster Supper gotten up in 4 style which F. K. and his estimable lady know so well how to do. It was a surprise but nevertheless a very pleas­ ant oue, and will'long be remembered by all who participated. THE majorties for County Officers at the late election were as follows: Circuit Clerk--Richards over Salisbury, 785. Over Dwight. 1,199.. For State's Attorney--Curtis, majority over Lyon, 1,810.

WE have time and again said through these columns that we could not pub­ lish anonymous communications^ still people do not seem to understand it, and we are almost every week receiving communications the authors name not accompanying them. Many •f them are subjects of interest and which we would be gladT to publish, but we cannot depart from our rule. We have one before us now signed "A Subcrlber," beaded "we jointly and severely promise," but as the writers name is unknown to us we are obliged to lay it aside. We again state that •we must have the writers name, not for publication, but as an evidence of good faith on their pari. We are glad to receive contributions on all subjects, but can take no notice of anonymous communications: To those of otw readers who are ' de­ sirous of shipping anything to Com­ mission Houses in Chicago, we • take great pleasure in recommending them to the following reliable Houses, where they caw rest assured of getting an hon­ est and fair deal, and the highest^ mar- kit price for their Produce: Chas.

As a Sign and Carriage Painter "Tip,'* (as he Is familiarly called,) has no superior in the Northwest, and work that conies from under his baud will bear the closest inspection by tho most compe­ tent judges. In short he is a first-class workmen in every particular, and Mr. Mead may consider himself fortunate iu securing his valuable s<*rvi«»»>;.

Our Band are progress­ ing beyond all precedent, and as there is many necessary expenses for Teach­ ing. music, &e., it is no more than right that our citizens should aid them, and we know of no better way than by useing their influence to get out a godd attendance on Thanksgiving evening. The best of music will be furnished, and as Parker A Son are to get up the Supper it is a sure guaran­ tee that It will be all right.

The Eastern news yesterday is alarming. The Czar of Russia in a speech indicates that he means to immediately commence war upon Turkey and break the two months arm­ istice--which means that he will gobble up Turkey in Europe, which will probably draw England into it, as England cannot afford to lose Constan­ tinople and the right of way through the Straits of Dardanelles and the Bosphorus, leading to the Suez canal and India. If Ton Wish, to gacceed. Read This. Persistent advertising must be well directed to insure success, for if an ad­ vertiser should desist his efforts in a certain field, and not meeting with im­ mediate success^ quickly remove to another, although he would in a certain sense be a persistent advertiser, his ef­ forts would be ill-directed. One of the best known advertisers in the country* and one of the most successful also, for he has amassed a fortune of millions, once replied to the writer in response to a question asking the secret of his success--'"Hammering in one spot." ex­ plaining that after he had selected his localities and mediums according to tho best of his judgment, he kept spending his money there until it paid. Advertising is very much like drilling a hole in a rock. Were you making an attempt to do the latter you would be unwise to expect a hole iu that rock un­ less you kept, your drill ia one spot un­ til your object was effected. If you moved your drill from spot to spot everjr few minutes, Impatient because you did not at once succeed, you would dtserve failure; and it is much the same in advertising. A man who ex­ pects to get rich from one insertion of an advertisement in a newspaper, or failing Immediate returns or profits from his expenditure in one paper or line of papers, quickly transfers his ad­ vertisement to another, does not de­ serve to succeed. Patience and perse­ verance are truly most necessary quali­ fications in an advertiser--Ex. ARABIAN MKX AND WOMEN. A correspondent of New York Ex- preen traveling in Arbta, thns describes the Arabs: The Arabs are generally handsome, with pale, oval faces, aqulinllne noses, and large dark eyes. They have rather an effeminate appearance. Their dress is almost indescribable. They* wear a sort of loose, baggy pantaloons, fasten­ ed at the waist by a sash coming down nearly to the kuees, below which the entire leg and foot are bare. Some wear sandals. Their heads are covered with a turban, and wh&n walking about free from work, they wear a long flow­ ing cloak with a hood, which is thrown not ungracefully over their shoulders. The fabric from which it is made being originally of white woolen or worsted, but is innoccnt'of receut washing, and uncertain in color as woru. The women, when seen outdoors, are attired in a large white robe reaching belew the knees, full white trowsers fastened at the ankle, and slippers. Their heads aud faces are covered, ex­ cepting the'reyes. They are possessed of a reasonable share of coquetry. So tar as I have seen, I do not think them as good looking as the men.

Russell, of Woodstock, was<«t work getting up a new Patent for a Mowing Machine,and knowing his great experience in the machine business we were confident he would succeed. In the Sentinel of last week we find the following; which provesthat he has succeeded, and has now one of the best machines in the market: Propably ^ most of onr readers are aware of the fact the G.W.Russell, who has been the General Agent ef the Mc- <C< rruick Maohin^sfor a uumbei of years past, hasfbecn engaged the last year in setting up a mower of his own, aud as Mr. Russell is a man who has had a large-amount of experience in the ma­ chine business. and beitijra mechanic by trade, and Wurked'at tlie manufac- tfrrc of reapers two seasons, his many friends will not be surprised to learn that he has succeeded in inventing one of the best mowers to be found in the Northwest. He completed hi? mower about thre* weeks ago, and the first trial took place on the farm of John Mc Lean, in a very heavy piece of grass, working to the satisfaction of all pres­ ent. Mr. Russell understood that D. H Bruuson, a farmer living about 1£uiilej from the city, had a piece of grass that could not l^ecut by any mowing machine and he concluded* that it would be a good chance to test his. consequently on Tuesday of last week he invited several of onr citizens to be present and see whether his mower was equal to the task or not. Arriving on thcj'ground. it was a little mixed in the minds of some of Mr. Russell's friends as to the success of the mower doing the work. Mr. Bruuson remarked that he had as ?;ood a mower as any man around, and t would not rnn a rod in that grass, and he did not believe Mr. Russell's would. And we will state here that it was one of the finest and thickest pieces of grass we ever saw. But George at ill had confidence in success, and when he started the team to the surprise of all present it worked to perfection, doing as good work as any machine could do !n any kind of grass. Mr. Russell cut about an acre, the mower never clog­ ging in the least. Mr. Bruuson re­ marked that he had lost hay enough to pay for any mower in the state that would cut like that one. The motion is very slow, draft light, and everything about it shows that it will be durable. Mr. Russell's friends.and they aro many congratulate him on his success, and sincerely hope it may prove a profita­ ble undertaking, and a benefit to the farming community at large. CIIEEN WOOD ' EDITOR PLAINDEALER:--NOW that the excitement of election is somewhat subsiding aud our citizens are once more settling down to their various avocat ions of business, awaiting with deep and intense interest the result, which will in a few days more be officially heralded throughout the land, we cannot feel too thankful to that Republican JFfy which has lit upon the opposite balance aud carried the result for Hayes and Wheeler. The contest has been unusually close, and is without a parallel. The darkness an'd gloom, forshadowed by the probable prospect of having Samuel J. Tilden for Presi­ dent, Is beginning to be lifted from the political horizon, and we can again see the bright rays of sunlight shining in upon us. But as your readers are many of them doubtless becoming tired and sick of hearing and reading constantly the political issues discussed and com­ mented upon we will dosist from farth­ er mentioning. At the meeting of the Greenwood Literary Association on Friday evening last, the following officers were chosen for the ensuing year: President, H. J. Wood. Five Vice Presidents, (who constitute an Exeoutive Committee,) Rev. B. Alden. Dr. Wm. B. Hart, S. Baldwin, John Mansfield, O. Garrison Secretary, J. H. Garrison. Treasurer, W. A. Baker. Organist, Mrs, M. A. Wood. Janitor and Door Keeper, C. Marble. Meetings on Friday evening of each week. The programme for Friday evening next, will be an address by the President, followed by general exercises interspersed with mueic.a School will commence on Monday Nov. 20th. The prospect bids fair for a full attendance. Our enterprising citizen H. J. Wood, (as is his usual custom) bound not to be outdone by any Hog man in the County has just been off to some adjoining State and purchased at a heavy ex­ pense one of the finest full blood Berk­ shire Pigs we have ever seen. He is certainly a model of beauty in the hog line. Farmers would do well to call and see Mr. Wood's stock of Hogs, as he Is confident that he can convince any man that a cross between the Berk- shiae and Magie is much more profit­ able for the farmer than auy other, as a much quicker growth can be obtained and at a less expense than with tho Magie alone. Michael Dassow now occupies the house vacated by A. W. Washburne, (temporarily for the winter,) Mrs. Washburne having gone to spend the winter with friends in Dakota. Corn husking through this section is newrly finished and farihers would be happy could they know beyond a doubt that Hayes and Wheeler were elected. EVKM. BaainessNoticeg. Go to E. M. Owen for Pnmpe.
