Obituary. Departed this life, April th, 1670, at the residence of his son, Mr. Harvey Petty, near Carlinville, Illinois, Mr. Sanford Petty, aged 64 years. In early life he was a citisen of this County for

twelve years, but for the last thirty years he hasi resided in Christian County, Illinois. He was for many years a prominent member of the Christian Church. None knew him but to respect him. Many will long hold him In grateful remembrance for his many acts of kindness bestowed in time of need. He had been spending the Winter among bis relatives and friends in this County. His disease was small-pox, which was contracted without any known cause on his return home. R. P. Davis Jr. Gates have a fine stock of Lamps, Lamp Chimneys, Reflectors and Shades of all kinds.

"Without advertising, I should be a poor man to-day." H. T. Hem bold. My success is owing to my liberality ia advertising." Bonner. "Advertising has furnished me with a competence." Amos Lawrence. "I advertise my productions and make money." Nicholas Longworth. "Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth." Stephen Girard. ''He who invests one dollar in business should invest one dollar ia advertising." A. T. Stewart. "P. T. Barnum, the noted exhibitor, ascribes his success in accumulating a million of dollars in ten years to the unlimited use of printer's, ink." "A man who is liberal in advertising is liberal in trade, and such a man succeeds, while his neighbor, with just as good goods, fails and drops out of the market." Horace Greeley. Dr. Stoddard's Resignation. To the Editor of the Cincinnati Gazette: The many friends of Miami University will doubtless regret to hear of Dr. S toddard's acceptance of a call to the Presbyterian University, at Wooster.Ohio, to fill the chair of NatuTal Science in that institution. By this the University will lose an able professor, and the students not merely a faithful instructor; but also a sympathizing friend, and the Church of Oxford one of her most efficient elders. Dr. Stoddard is a native of New Yurk, and is connected with the justly celebrated Stoddard family. lie is a graduate of Union College, New York, and has now been Professor of Natural Sciences at Miami University for twenty-fireyears. Energetically and unceasingly has he labored tor the good of the institution and his pupils. Not only did he cultivate the mind, but, in his eloquent lectures, he constantly strove to lead his pupils, through the works of nxture, up to their great author. His mechanical genius and skillful hand often supplied the deficiencies of the apparatus, and it would be useless to attempt to csiimate the amount which he thus saved to the institution. Not only in Oxford is Dr. Stoddard's ability known and appreciated, but the citizens of Cincinnati and other cities have repeatedly listened with delight to his poetic and truly scientific lectures. Over live hundred graduates have left the halls of Old Miami during his connection with the institution, and ho is justly looked upon as the veteran instructor, and as one of the pillars of tho University. The reasons which have induced Dr. Stoildard to sever himself from an institution with which he has been so long connected must have been prave. The un willirgness manifested by the t-esUlature of Ohio to raise the Mate instruction to a standard which euli enable them to meet the demands of the times , the attempt to secularize instruction, together with the energy displayed by those managing t&e affairs of the Wooster University, are, we learn, among the leading rea oris whieh have induced the Doctor to take a step which, doubtless, has caused him many s tru rles. As a Cbristinn gentleman, as a scholar and teacher, Dr. Stoddard has been an Ornament to Miami University. Wbile we regret the fact that we mast lose bira, we would congratulate Wooter upon her wise choice. May he, in his new field, meet with that success which he so richly deserves, and which not only the eitizens of Oxford, bat his namaroas pupils, heartily wish him. B. Wilson-Julian Contest. The numerous friends of Judge Wilson, in this county, will be glad to learn that he has received the nomination for Congress in the Fourth District. That he was able to defeat so formidable a competitor as the lion. George W. Julian, is abundant proof of his popularity, and of his strong hold upon the people. The canvass for the nomination was a most rigorous one upon both sides, and a bitterness of feeling engendered which we hope will disappear as the time of the election ap proaches. The letter of Mr. Julian to the Convention, withdrawing his name, and urging his friends to give a hearty support to the nominee, is very creditable to him, and will do roueh to concilitate the feeling against Wilson. The Negro vote six to eight hundred strong came very nearly giving the notnii nation to Julian. It was solid for him. and it is not strangeythat it should have been so. He espoused his cause at a time when it had few open advocates made a persistent war against slavery until it was ' abolished and, When that was aCCOmbv jriving bim a united support. But even this great aid could not save bira, but that he is to lose his scat is to a very great de cree bis own iault. It is not that the people have lost confidence in his integrity, or his fidelity to principle, or that they have forgotten his services, that be was defeated. It is attributable to his intense selfishness, and of his unrelenting persecution of every man in his district who ever dated to oppose him. This he kept up in season and out of season. On the other hand, he remembered his friends, and their devotion to him bordered on the idolatrous. If he had chosen to conciliate those who opposed hirn, rather than apply the party lash so vigorously and unsparingly, no opposition that could have been combined would have defeated him for re-nomination. But this he failed to do, and the personal hostility toward him increased to such a degree that it became apparent that to nominate him would be to give the district up to the Democracy. Of Judge Wilson, who is so well known to our people, it is scarcely necessary to say a word. He is not much known as a poUtieian--during his career as a Judge he has not deemed it prudent to engage actively in the political contests cf the times. lie is, therefora, better known as a lawyer and Judge than as a politician. It was the fact that he has not been identified with the numerous political quarrels with Mr. Julian, and his great personal popularity, that drew the attention cf the anti-Julian Republicans to him as a candidate. He will come more nearly reconciling the warring elements in his district than any man who cou.U hayo'Leea cha-

sen. He has very decided ability," is a nan of the strictest integrity, and the parity of his private life is above su picion. He possesses as few of the arts of a demagogue, perhaps, as any man mho ever received a nomination for Congress. We don't know that this will enhance his prospects very materially, however; it is an article that is lamentably effective. With those better qualities intellect, integrity and purity of character he is abundantly supplied. As a .Representative in Congress he will discharge his duties ably and conscientiously, and will reflect credit upon our State. More such men are needed in Congress. Let the Republicans of the Fourth District now drop their quarrels and triumphantly elect him. Grcensburg Standard.

The First Blast. A respectable number of Democrats and a fair delegation of Republicans assembled at the Court House, on last Saturday afternoon, to hear Hon. David S. Gooding deliver himself; and truly the labor was great while the production was comtemptible. He opened the performance with the old Democratic tune of "Nigger, niggah, nigge, nig, ni," and long and lovingly ravished the ears of the faithful with its melody, "while John Brown's soul is marching on." To speak plainly, Mr. Gooding devoted almost his entire speech to the negro, and as that individual is now politically able to take care of himself, we propose to let Dave fight it out with him on that line, so far as we are concerned. If Democrats have a taste for dragging the carcass of their dead goi into thtirjfeasts, Republicans will not likely interfere with their ghoulish revel. Yet there is one feature of Mr. Gooding's speech that is worthy a passing notice, it must have either been an insult to his Democrat c hearers, or the mean judgment he formed of them was correct. He made no appeal that was not addressed to their prejudices. No attempt was made to arouse a noble impluse, but the aim of his remarks seemed to be to embitter, if possible, the hatred he supposed his followers bore a race, until lately despised and abused. What a noble work for one who so frequently took pains to pride himself on his superior manhood! What a compliment to the men whom he styled the sons of Kentucky and Virginia! The most serious charge that Gooding could make against the Republican party was that it was a party of progress. His arguments went to show, that like the cloud no larger than a man's hand, which overspread the sky and poured its nourishing showers upon the parched and sterile earth, the Republican party, whih at first only timidly opposed the extension of a monster evil and wrong, bad become the true exponent of universal liberty and universal justice had made our nation democratic in principle as well ss in name. We want no better eulogy of our party than the speaker unwittingly gave it. Whatever he may think, our people do not lack intelligence, and we hope he will repeat his speech in every portion of the Fourth District. Uushville Republican.
