Reporter. 1840 Tippecanoe and Tyler, Too. I am tho only man living in Tunkhan nock that was living here in 1840 and voted for General William Harrison for President of the United States.

I was then a merchant, and took an active part in that campaign. There were then no railroads, no telegraphs, and all communication was by the mail, carried in four- horse post coaches. I recollect attending a political pole-raising at Clark's Green, where there was a large gathering. I went on horseback. It was at Jeremy Clark's.

Mrs, Clark was an active and enthusiastic Harrison woman. She rolled out a barrel of hard cider, knocked the head in, put in a gourd and told the crowd to help themselves. The reason it was called the Hard Cider and Log Cabin Campaign, some man in Indiana had said of Gen. Harrison, "Give him a barrel of hard cidei, and he would rest contented in his log cabin without being President of the United States." I attended a meeting also at what was then Slocum Hollow. TheScrantons had then commenced there, and had built up a shanty town across Roaring Brook, and called it Harrison.

The meeting was large and enthusiastic, and a pole was raised. Providence was then one of the old towns in Luzerne county. Hon. Her mans, of Providence, was then one of the active Harrison men of the county. I also recollect attending a meeting at Wilkes-Barre, held in Bowman's Grove.

A large procession was formed, in which a large canoe, labelled "'Tippecanoe and Tyler, too," was drawn on a wagon. John W. Bear, the Buckeye Blacksmith, was there, and was one of the speakers. He took off his coat, Tolled up his sleeves, and made an impressive speech. Speeches were also made by Mr.

Maxwell and Mr. Brown, of Easton. They were lawyers and earnest speakers. The State election was then held in October, and the Democrats, who Were supporters of VanBurr were successful. In November the Presidential election was held, and the resu't was so close that it took at least two weeks to get the official returns.

Every day when the stage came in the driver and passengers were anxiously questioned about the news. The final result was that Genuial Harrison had carried the State by 343 majority. I have a relic of that campaign. It is a Log Cabin button. I had sold a set to Jabez G.

Capwell, of Clinton, who used them on the suit of clothes in which he was married. He brought me one of the buttons about two years ago. I was appointed postmaster at Tunkhannock under the Harrison administration in 1841, and was turned out by John Tyler during the close of his administration, charged with siding the circulation of the New York Tribune, aud a Democrat was appointed in my place. 1 am iu favor of the elect inn of the gTaudsoa, Gen. Benjamin llmnon, of Indiana.

He soon turned his attention to grape raising, and planted large vineyards of the Portu gal vines from which his famous Port Grape Wine and Unfermented Grape Juice is made, which chemists and physicians say rivals the world tor its benehcial effects on weakly and aged persons.

Having spent must of my money for medicine and medical advice, I thought to save expense I would use Allcock Por ous Plasters, two on the small of my back one on the spleen or ague cake, and one on the pit ot the stomach, just under tne breast bone. I continued using the Plasters about thirty days, changing llimi every week. At the end of that time I was per fectly well, and have remained so ever since. l.KORGE Uixon.

One is to swallow a drastic purgative which evacuates profusely, abruptly and with pain, the other is to take Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the effect of which is not violent, but sufficiently thorough, and which does not gripe the intestines. If the first is selected the person employing it need not expect permanent benefit, and he cannot hope to escape the debilitating reaction which leaves the organs as bad or worse off than before. If, on the other hand, he resorts to the Bitters, he can rely upon the restoration of a regular habit ol body, consequent upon a renewal of a healthful tone in the intestinal canal. Besides healthfully relaxing the bowels, the Bitters arouses a dormant liver, imparts a beneficial impetus to the action of the kidneys, and counteracts the early twinges of rheumatism, a tendency to gout, and malaria in all its forms.
