Tho Btarft -Tinvo firitod to gratify our people by the pro mined utility with which they were to have changed position.- while making their grand "ttwiug around the circle." Well, if tttajH don't "shoot" this time, as pre dieted by atitronomerti, it is reasona hi.' to ituppose that mankind will have to wait until mother earth shall again go diving into the supposed accumulation of meteors, like a locomotive into a cloud of mosquitos, at which tune we may be permitted to see what folks saw in 1833. At least we are coatent to wait. It may be that A, Johnson, who traveled over the United States Itfti summer, peddling out stars put up in "My Policy" packages, marked, Warranted to contain '& dot." basso exhausted the supply that the oontemplaited show has been postponed for a lang time. The ease of contested election in ou Conntv came before the County CokmjisstoneTS some time since, whetr it was difcovered by the Attorney for the contestee, thut there was uo stamp upon the affidavit of the coutestor. By this moans the matter was dismissed, but an appeal has beeu taken to'tbe Circuit Court which meets iu January. So you can seo that our County flection will last some time, as the matter will likely go to the Supreme Court, and the affair will probably be settled by the time the town expires over which the parties contend. We, like the balaooe of mankind, have heard of the result of the November election,and are much gratified thereat. Our Democratic friends wail over the 1 " terrible storm of fanaticism, " as they call it, which Is sweeping over the country. Hut they will yet find that this " storm of fanaticism " is but the "bfeath of destiny" that " sweens slowlv. solemnly, and ever lastingly " acrow the great sea of Time, bearing all onward toward the grand, glorious, but distant haven of Impartial Justice and Eternal Right! Tp.ey tell us that in two years they will sweep Republicanism from the face of the earth, but those who know, prophecy that what little sweeping of that kind they will do, will not amount to much. At any rate, nobody is soared, us yet, so far as we are posted in Gibson. Our people have begun the business of packing pork in earnest, and although the hog cholera has been seriously at work, still it seems we will have enough of swine fat to lubricate the machinery of life for another year. Thefarmers have begun the work of gathering their corn, and in this particular Nature has been unusually bountiful, and we will, no doubt, be compensated for the loss of our biseuit, by a plentitude of "corn dodgers," and " hasty puddings." The ladies of the Presbyterian Church, in this place, gave us during last week a couple of very interesting entertainment a fair On Thursday veaing, and music and tableaux on I Frifay evening. In the latter all the old bachelors (of the age of thirty and upwards) appeared in the appropriate " rofc" of" too young to marry." Tfie material interests of our town are progressing rapidly. More new pavements have been laid down, and a crossing or two will soon be repaired. TWs week is Court week, wherein divers disputed questions will be finally settled. There haTe been no "bread and butter " appointments made here irince the election, although some men have expressed a willingness to serve their country, by attending to the duties of assessor, nut1, Andrew the Great retiree to private life. We have had no serious accidents, nor murders, our people not having acquired that high degree of emigration which is indicated by police report and verdicts of coroners' juries, and hence, the lovers of the marvelous would not be likely to find their proper aliment in our county. But if anybody likes good apples, and better cider, big fires built on hickory back logs, and good looking girls, who know what life is made for, let them visit Gibson and look about among our farmers. Verily we are hard to beat iu those particulars, even if the Ohio River don't ruu through our border, and if our oouuty dill go thirty. three for Democracy, f Scene at the Death Bed of Mr. Lincoln. At Carlisle, Pa , recently the Presbyterian Synods of the old and new schools being in session at the same place, the two bodies met in commu

nion with great harmony. Rev. Dr. Hurley, pastor of the church in Washington which President Lincoln usually ttUttttdwd, in a sptxxdi at the table, fave the following narrative, which as never before been made public: " Wheu summoned on that sad night to the death-bed of President LfncoVn, ! enured the room fifteen or twenty minutes before his departure. All preMBt were gathered anxiously around him, watching to catch bi lant breath. The physician, with one hand upon the pulse ji tne uying man and the other liaua mm upon nis heart, was intently watching for the moment when hfe should cease. " He lingered longer than we had expected- At last ine nnysician saiu : ' He is gone ; he is dead ' Then I solemnly believe that for four or five miautes there was not the slightest noise or movement in that awful presence. We all stood trans fixed in our positions. snoeehleHH breathless, around the dead bodv of mat. great ami good man. " At length the Secretary of War, who was standing at my left, broke the ailouoe and said : ' Doctor, will you say anything r I replied, I will speak toGed.' Said he, 4 Do it just now. " And there by the side of our fellow chief, God put it into my heart to utter ehis petition, that from that hour we and the whole nation might become more than ever firm in our devotiou to the cause of our Moved, imperiled coin try. " When I ceased, there arose from the hp., of the entire company tt fervid and spontaneous 'Amen. ' "And has not the whole heart of the loyal nation responded 'Amen?' " Was not that prayer, there offered, responded to iu a moat remark- . . ilTInT 1 able manner'' When in our history have the people of this laud been found morn closely bound together in purpose and heart than when the telegraphic wires bore all over the country the sad tidings that President, Lincoln was dead ? " . 'Ill u What the Buffalo Commercial Adver User bay. The Buffalo Commercial Adtfertiser, which supported the entire Democratic ticket, after discussing the election results, Winds up by saying: The only real and indisputable demonstrations of the late elections are the two which we have dwelt upon abovw. The first is, that the Demo cratio party must pass into history as an accomplishment, and that it cannot become the exponent of conservatism; the other, that tho Constitutional Amendments must be accepted at the ultimatum of reconstruction. If an acceptance of these two demonstrations oan be wrought out In future political adjustment, we may yet be able to avoid the grave dangers which cluster around the pathway of the nation; otherwise the future looks Sloomy and full of uncertainty and anger. We have faith that both demonstrations will be made good in time. Reconstructed Ucrmauy. Perthes, in Leipaic, has published in a pamphlet, with three maps, an essay taken from Petermann's Geographical Journal, upon the "Political Reorganization of Germany." In this a number of interesting statistic are given, of which we extract a few for the information of our readers. Prussia had before 1866, 5,086 square miles of territory, and 19,304,843 people. She has now 6,395 square miles, and 23,590,543 peoplo. She has gained, therefore, 1,309 square miles, and 4,285,700 in habitants. The States she has swallowed up are Hanover, with 698 square miles and 1,903,492 inhabitants; Kurhesson, with 172 square miles and 677,283 people; Nassau, with 85 square miles and 406,014 people; Frankfort with li square miles and 89,737 people; Sleswig Holstein, with 220 square miles and 960,996 people; ten square miles taken from Bavaria, with 32,976 people, and 20 square miles taken from the duchy of Hesse, with 72,102 people. The reckoning is by German miles. Prussia contained before 1866, 2, 504,179 persons of other nationalities, not speaking German. The foreign element is very little increased by her reeent conquests. The strength of the Protestants has been increased, as Prussia before 1806, contained sixty per cent, of Protestant, nd thirty-six per cent, of Catholies, while now the Protestants make sixty-four per cent, and the Catholics only thirty-two per cent, of the population. In the whole North German fConfederation, which now includes 29,220,802 inhabitants, the Protestants are 71 per cent, and the Catholics only 26 per cent The Confederation has a merchant marine of 7,167 ships and 1,336.719 tons greater than that of any nation, EXet"pt'"g tiu,y tho United States and The Washburne family will be well represented ,u the next Congress. No less than four Washburne" are already elected to the next House of Represeutatives-Elihu B. Washburne, who is too well known to need special account here; William B. Washburne of Massachusetts, a member ot the present IV.J.. Gen.C. C. Washburne, of WiH a former member member of Con.,, i : y Major General of Volunteers durina tne reneiuou, aim noury I).
