The manufacture of Bod-Sleda htv began again and all our factories are busy. Mr. E.

C. Bassett is already shipping large quantities to various distributing points in the west to rill orders, and the others have large orders to fill next month. In writing np our Republican rally last Thursday morning, we had to do it so horridly, and leave out so much order to get it in the STANDARD that day, that our omissions were perhaps much greater than our commissions. Many things we did not mention that we should have mentioned. We neglected to mention many of the finest private residences that were splendidly decorated, among them Democrat's residences as well as Republicans.

We are always willing to be forgiven. "Commodore" Foote may be a good judge of everything In this mundane sphere except female toggerry. The other day he found a small steel contrivance in the shape of a double-and- twisted-back-action-plece of furniture, and as it didn't correspond to any thing in the wide range of Mr. Foote'a knowledge, he pujt it in his pocket as a mystic charm, naturally concluding that if he didn't know what it is, it must be part of the fashionable gearing fa female's make up.

Stephenson County had a School officer's convention at Freeport, last week, and the main question for discussion was the uniformity of text books for the county.

Are you going to get married The STANDARD office can turn you out some of the most facinating wedding cards you ever saw.

No couples ever apply for a divorce that get their cards here. They are as sweet to each other as gum drops. They never have sour bread, and the big Injun of the house does not belong to any night-owl club. Fates and fair weather, big pumpkins and a bi-ennial jotting in the family Bible, all smile on our irresistibly line wedding cards. The "Survivors of Columbus" met at tbe residence of Mr.

P. T. Van Home, last "Friday evening, and had a most delightful tinier" All the old soldiers who went to the reunion at Columbus last month were invited, together with their wives, and all the ladies who went to were their husbands. All who were invited were on hand, except Capt. Niles' wife.

A. B. Spies has turned out 2100 wagons, or a few leas than he made last year. The demand, however, has been greater than last year, and he could have sold flfty per cent, more than he did, had he beep able to manufacture them. Quite recently he was compelled to refuse an order of twelve carloads from St.

Louis. We learn that Mr. Spies expects to manufacture 4000 wagons during the season of '80, and has the bulk of his material now on hand for that number. Prices.are exactly the same this year as last. The Spies factory began work on bob-sleds Monday.

News reached this city laat Sunday evening of the drowning, oi Miss Emma Eahleman, a daughter of Eshleroan, of Clyde township, Miss Eghleman her family to Dunkard making on Sunday morning, but left alone before services over. On the family's return, and while crossing the bridge over Spring creek, Emma's hat and cloak were discovered on the bank of the stream, and a moment's investigation showed the body of the young lady in abput four feet of water, near the bridge, from which she had evidently thrown herself with suicidal intent. Both hands clasp-, ed a large stone in the stream, which held her under water.
