THE LEGION OF HONOR. It is rarely that we ever dun our patrons, from the fact that they are, generally speaking, very prompt in liquidating their accounts. For the last year, however, they have failed for some unknown reason to exhibit their accustomed punctuality. In order to remind them of our present necessities wc modestly appeal to them to lend us a helping hand. Our accounts are scattered all over the county, a man owing us a

little here and a little there, and if thev

will only walk up to the captains office and I

his account is a small one it is immaterial

when it is settled, or that every body haspaid up and that the little sum he owes will not matter much anyhow. The reason we desire that no one man should get (his notion in his head is the fact that such nolions arc contagious and very often afflict the whole body of a newspapers patrons.— We are obliged to pay cash for every pound of paper and ink we use, besides paying our hands. Now we wish every man.who knows himself indebted to us to think this over in his own mind, and at the first favorable opportunity liquidate the -printer's account. Those of our patrons who would like to enrol themselves in the Region of Honor can do so by paying up their subscription for the present volume in advance. We will have ribbons prepared with some suitable inscription to decorate their persons and which will serve as a receipt.

This firm wc notice is doing a very heavy business. Their stock of hardware and groceries comprise every article usually kept in a large establishment. We recommend our readers to visit this house and examine for themselves. The stock has been selected with the greatest care, and as regards the superior quality of their groceries none better was ever brought to this market. The farmer and mechanic we are confident will find it to their advantage to open accounts with these gentlemen. We understand that they intend removing to their new and splendid sale rooms on Main street in a few days, when they will have nn opportunity of displaying their magnificent stock of cutlery' agricultural implements &c., «fcc.

"GONZALAZ."

We have been frequently asked what had become of Gonzalaz alias Gen. Pilcher.— We believe we saw him a few nights since at the Circus, lie occupied prominent position in thc pit. As a sub-rcsa Gonzalaz lias but few equals as a cross-road orator, 110 superior as an ass, no equal. If Sam had lived he would have been appoint" cd colporteur to thc Guano islands..

AST We have been repeatedly asked whether we thought the old line candidates elect would qualify for the different offices to which they were elected, knowing as they must, that their election is due altogether to foreign imported votes. We cannot, but we know if they respect themselves, they will not hold offices against the wishes and voice of the legal voters of Montgomery county.—Journal.
