France Esq., Mr. Samuem Winans to Miss Rebecca Teepli. ’Sold Out. —Frank Miesse sold his interest in the steam grist mill of Mickle, Chubb & Miesse, to, John Rout, of Monroeville. The transfer took place Saturday. Christopher Kauffman requests us to announce that he will not be a candidate tor Sheriff. His name is, in consequence, taken from the tjpluinn of announce- | - .. The Radicals in New Hampshire have elected their candidate for governor by a majority of 1200. Grant’s majority was 7647, and the difference in time, fifteen months. We offer the Eagle free to any person sending us the names of five subscribers, accompanied with the requisite amount of cash, ’ 87.50. Wintry.—Tuesday was decidedly one of the most inclement, snowy, wintry days of the season. Wednesday morning the air was sharp and cold, and had the roads been smooth we should have had fair sleighing. Another Offer.—For 82 30 cash in advance, we will furnish the Eagle, Woods' Household Magazine and the American Stock Journal. Ihe Honsehold Magazine is the best dollar magazine that we know of. A copy can be seen at this office. t Railroad Prospects.—The negotiations to secure the early completion of the C. R 4 Ft W. rail r g»d, we are happy to announce, are in a fairway to become realiz ed. The matter will be reduced to a certainty in a few weeks. Our faith in the road is increasing every day. Without goin<* into details, we would say that the' prospect of the early completion of the road were never more satisfactory than at present

An Explanation.—The compositor last week in setting up the announcement of Norval Blackburn, as a candidate for Clerk, omitted to insert his name, which omission was overlooked by us in proof reading, and was not discovered until the entire edition was printed, except about one quire. It was one of the most annoying mistakes that has ever occurred during our connection with the press, and to us made doubly so from the fact that Mr. Blackbrnn is our competitor for the nomination. A» the only reparation we could make, we offered to print an extra edition and send them to any persons he might desire, which offer was declined, leaving as the only amend for us to make, this explanation.

Don’t Do It.—Friends, countrymen and lovers, do not forget that I, S. S. Wood, do hereby declare, on the authority of facts herewith submitted, that more money’s worth is given in premiums for new subscribers to IFootf* Household Magazine than for any other publication in the world. Also, that I agree to forfeit five hundred dollars to any publisher who shall succeed in proving the coitrary to this declaration, provided that such publisher shall declare his intention to investigate before proceeding to do so ; also, that in case he fails, he shall forfeit to me the same amount, and announce the result in regular type in the editorial columns of his next issue. S. S. Wood, Publisher and Proprietor Wood's Household Magazine," Newburg, N., Y.

The Dead Timber Swindle. — Much lias been said pro and con in regard to the sale of dead timber on the County' land, by Seymour Worden,’ special agent. Persons, not altogether disinterested, charged him with selling the timber for less than its value, and in consideration of said sale of re cciving a bonus from the parties who bought it. The Board of Commissioners, fully apprised of these charges, after a full investi gation, confirmed the sale as made by the Auditor. This confirmation triumphantly vindicates Mr. Worden of any wrong; and because he stands judicially vindi caicd, wc take pleasure in calling attention to it, and having done this, wc leave the matter with the people to judge for themselves.

The Bright Side.—The March number of this popular children's paper, just received, presents an unusual variety of contents. There are over twenty different articles, all original, and some of quite superior merit. Its success has been very remarkable, 25.000 circulation being already secured; the publishers say they intend to make it 100,000 by the time it is one year old, which will be next July. They offer to send the four numbers for March, April, May, and June, free to all who subscribe be fore July first. Terms, 50 cents a year. "Specimen copy free. John B. Alden «k Co., Chicago, 111.

Venire Grand and Petit Juries.—The following is a list of the grand and petit juries for the April term of the Adams Circuit Court: Union, Joseph Wherry. Root, F. B. Smith. Preble, Abraham Mangold. Kirkland, Jonathan Bowers. Washington, L. W. Johnson. Saint Marys, John Bogcnrifc. Blue Creek, James Danner. Monroe, T. P. Harris. French, Solomon Shull. Hartford, Daniel Heller. Wabash, James Nelson. Jefferson, Jesse McCollum. PETIT JURY. John Rupright, Jacob Butcher, jr. Cyrus Sackett. John E. Durbin, P. C. Bollinger, John Abnet, Henry Meyers. Benj. Baum. Justus Kelley. Jesse Smith, Samuel Eley and Noah Am;paugher. Dog Statistics.—We call attention to the simple fact shown by the reports of the township Trustees, that during the last year the people of Adams conntv have paid the sum of 81045 41 damages for sheep killed by dogs. Every township in the county, save one. Saint Marys, has a portion of this

loss to bear, which amounts to no inconsiderable sum. The question for the people to ponder over is, does it pay to keep dogs ? These statistics may assist nt arriving at a correct solution of the question. To Farmers. We intend to canvass Adams county and solicit orders for Reapers and Mowers—the best row made. Our Agent, Mr. Perry Zimmerman, will shortly call on you with models of the Machines we represent, so that you can see just what you want and what you are buying. Our Machines are warranted to purchasers in every respect, and our prices are 810 lower on Mowers, and S2O lower on conbined Machines, than you can possibly buy standards machines of other parties. We are the only agents for the Mansfield and Kniffin in Adams county, and in presenting them to your notice we feel confident that they will stand on their own merits. They are, in fact, the best Reapers and Mowers ever introduced. Because the general construction embracing every point to constitute perfect machines is so simple that the most inexperienced person can readily understand it. They arc the lightest draft, and have less number of bolts, pieces and parts than any other machines in the market.

You will do well to defer purchasing machines until you have seen ours and learn our prices'. There is nothing about fanning which pays so well as the judicious selection ot Farm Implements. The very best only should be purchased This will be attended with gain every way; the work will be easier done, it will be better done, and the experience of all successful fanners teaches the safest rule, “always buy the best.” We respectfully invite farmers and those who contemplate buying a machine, to lay aside every preference they may have in fa vor of any other machine, and when our Agent calls on you, then give the Mansfield and Kniffin a careful and considerate examination before you purchase, and we feel certain you will conclude, with safety, to buy of us, either the Mansfield or the Kniffin.
