The jolly Brackett is again at theCampbell American House, he is up looking af" ter some more "steers." Livona could furnish Judases enough to betray a hundred Savious. And Milo stood by Frank Campbell in spite of all the oqposition could do or say.

say, don't go to bed in the dark, when you can get a lamp at the Drug Stor for 35 cents. Cowles has received an immense stock of new goods and he has them tastefully displayed. Bully! A. D. Jesmer is the commissioner elect from Greenbush.

The UNION did it with its little hatchet, Mr. G. R. Prescott, of Germany, was appointed P. to fill the position vacated by the lamented Cline.

Mr. Prescott will make a very good Justice. Mr, C. Rines went down to St. Paul Wednesday, to attend the sale of School and University lauds.

Miss Mattie Caley, of Braimrd, sister to Messrs. D. A. and T. Caley, is visiting her friends here.

She is accompanied by her little niece Gentlemen, I do not like to keep dunning for what you are owing me, but I must have my pay right off now don't forget this but calk in and your bills. D. CALEY. More lightRemember that D. A Caley has the largest and finest assortment of lamps and lanterns ever brought to Princeton, prices ranging from 35 cents to $5 00.

Don't you forget to call and see no trouble to show goods. Murdock, what in the mischief were you doing when you let Frank Campbell get 11 majority in your towu Gi cenbush. You must attend to "uizr' a little, better than that next time. Mr. W.

D. Maddox, brother-in-law to Mr. George McFarlne of Greenbush, lied at NortBfield, on the 29th of October. Mr. Maddox was well known to most of our readers he had just returned from Florida, where he bad been sojourneying for his health.

There was a little muss in Mr. Manner's saloon Thursday night a lum, berman treated Mr. Mahoney rather roughly on Friday morning Mr, M. ippiied to Justice Justice for a warrant, for some reason no warrant was issued. Baldwin did very well for Joe Libby, all things considered, by giving him 'U out of 37 votes cast.

Some of what are considered the most infiuencial men of Baldwin supported Niekerson and did their level best for him. Besides at least, eight of those wh promised to vote for Joe, away from the polls. The Isanti Co.

His modiou never See jrtiscment in next week's at Pstore rw tha yunday School Cbnvention was partial success the notice of the ention was too short however for members to be present the managers seemed satisfied withy the work accomplished. Rev. Mr. Kingsland was president and J.

W. Goulding was secretary of the convention. The election passed off very quietly in Princeton no fighting or quarreling, ao drunkennessnot even the sign of drunkenness was visible. The only jitter feeling created during the day, was caused by some'so called "Temperance man" or men, starting the rumor that F. M.

Campbell, the Republican nominee for Treasurer, was furnishing- whiskey with which to buytime votes. The story was originated by some of Mr. Campbells enemies to work on the prejudices of tne Temperance folks but the little game did not work. Mr. Campbell gained votes instead of loosing, for no one who knew Mr.

would believe the story, except a tew "fanatical" individuals who wpuld believe almost anything. M. V. B. Cater's friends worked hard, but not to much pnrpose, for when the vote was counted Campbell stood 36 ahead.

The bitterest fight was between Ross and Barker, for School Superintendent. Barker came out 21 ahead. In Greenbush the main fight was over the commissioner there were three candidatesJesmer, Huggins and Scott in the field, aud Jesmer was the lucky man with 6 votes to spare. Campbell received 11 aud Barker 35 majority at this the main fight was on theand Treasurer it was supposed by almost every one that this town would go for Cater but Frank Campbeel had heaps of friends there as well as everywhere else, and Cater only got 7 votes. We ean not get the returns exactly, until the vote is officially canvassed by the Auditor and his assistants.

The complete returns will appear in next week's UNION as near as we can judge now, Houlton for Senator, has 100 majority Richardson's vote is considerable less than Houlton's F. M. Campbell i elected by 70 majority H. F. Barker, School by 65 majority Attorney Geueral, Wilson ran ahead of his ticket.

Banning has a majority of less than ten in the county Ebenezer Ayers for Railroad Commissioner, received a pretty fair vote. At Cost! At Cost! Owing to the fact that B.graceful ('owjte's is in great need of money, he will, for the next Sixty Days, sell any and all goods at COST! NOW is the time to buy your winter goodsof which he has a large stock. All kinds of grain is considered cash. H. B.

COWLES. i rincetou, October. 19, 1877. Ksic7 cf Tne inventions and jinents that have been made duving the present century, in this couniry as well as in all parts of the world, will remain for all time a marked epoch in the world's history, I Nearly all of the inventions and important improvements that now save the labor of millions of now intakes a journey around the world a mere pleasure trip, that annihilates spaoe, that records on its mirror the events of every-day life, are almost wholly the result of human intellect of the nineteenth century. When we look back upon what has been accomplished, we sisire in amazement a.t the rapid and gigantic strides that nave beenand taken in directions enlighten benefitall the world only have great agents been discovered or better utilized, but tne minor and indispensable details of everyday life have simplified, so that our mthersers.our wives, our sisters and our daughters are not bound to that household slavery that made them carry the real burdens of domestic life.

Now scarcely a day passes but some new and valuble invention is added to the endless list of articles to lighten the labor of the household. So far, there hat been no invention that has supplied so great a want in every family as the sewing machine. With the introduction of this genuine labor-saving apparatuts, one of the greatest drudges of the house-hold has been done away, and the work of furnishing the family garments, with its tireless needle has become a pleasure and a pastime. It would be useless to attempt to enumerate the many improvements that have been made in sewing machines, but among the countless makers and styles, none have stood the test of public trial and criticism better or even as well as the Victor Sewing Machine, now in use in every clime, at home and abroad. Beilg the original pioneer from the very start, under the name of the Finkleand Lyon, the manufactures have kept pace with the march of improvement, and have made such alterations and adjustments as and the severest trials have shown to be for the best, until now it stands the acme of excellence, in finish, durability aud all that makes a sewing machine desirable.

The to meet the times, have placed their machine within the reach of every family of whatever condition in life, thus benefiting the millions of this day and generation as well as future generations to come. See hansome advertisement which appeares in our columns today, for particulars. "Colonels." The colonels and judges have come to town. The rotunda of the Ebbitt House reverberates with the din of clinking glasses. Knots of bar-room statesmen from points of vantage commanding the bar doors wrestle in wordy wrangle over the president's policy what the ''people really want, by The hotel bell-boy flies around with unwonted alacrity, in hope of the illusive quarter the beguiling hackman charges up on all who even look across the avenue, shonting out "Here's your old driver, colonel!" and drives the annoyed "colonel" iuto a street-car, for the fare of which he has borrowed a nickle from the "judge" the vigilant barber, soapy, scented, and each unshaven lace that passes "Walk right in colonel you're next." The pavement in front of Willard's in the morning resembles a parterre of gay flowers.

Clusters of "colonels," hedges of "judges" fringe the sidewalk with flaming countenances, like sunflowers. Th buds on their Bardolphian noses, swell to blossom by the sprees of the nights, rivaj the bontonnieres of those lovely and geraniums, the treasury clerks who, rising from their Sevres vases, called boarding-houses, wend their way to their daily toil, Spots of rash tnis crimson guests, pour their pinky blossoms over the judicial physiognomy of the "judges," and the air is laden with the seductive oders of the aistillery. Well may this be called a i-ay season iii Washington. It is With mournful regret we chronicle their accession to office, for then we lose them. True, more may come a vast army is always ready to rush in the breach, but it requires months of tipplidg and hotel letter-writing to ripen and color them, "Here goes colonel!" We would never be without a colonel in our button-hole or a judge in our hat, if we could help it.
