D*C»ngre«» assembles next Mondey, when interesting proceedings may be ex peeled. JJ”General Simeon Cameron, of Pennsylvania is spoken of as a candidate for the Presidency in IS6O. iErMr. Snyder will please accept our thanks for sending us the daily State Sentinel during the session. IEFThe adjourned tie-in of the Circuit Court and the Board of County Commissioners piecl next Monday. O"The Delinquent Li-d occupies a large space in tne paper tnis week, and will for three weeks to come: but we will overcome. the objection us much us possible by setting the reading mutter in small type. jj'We last week stated that we were in pressing need of money, find we received since that time tne following amount, all told: Thomas S. Grant, $1,50; Robert Parker, $1,00; William Shortridge, st) cents. Who comes next’ . 1 . . tfj’We lust Thursday ate of the customary} tiirky on Thanksgiving Day ut the Babb House. Friend B. and his excellent wile know bow to get up an inviting table, and they alway supply tne best tlie market affords. We should like to see them better patronized than they are. Jj'The Stackhouse Brothers inform us that they have been making a large reduction in tne .selling rates of tlieir hardware, dec. Stoves they sold heretofore tor S2S they are now offering at and everything else in. proportion. See their advertisem-nt on the fourth page. * »■ - , Z ' IL; By reference to our advertising columMt. it will be,seen that, the firm of Harding &, Pea«bek has been dissolved, and the business will be carried on in future by Harding N Tutmaii. As to friend Harding, lie is too favorably known to need a notice from us. Mr. Tatman, tne j|unior partner, is a young man of excel,ent business capacity, aud we predict that he will make aAiosf of friends in his new lindertaking. U3”Our young'friend, Benjamin I'. Cole, of Flowersvillc, White county, will accept our thanks for that bottle of excellent Chinese Sirup he sent us. It was as good as any we had tasthd this year. -Mr. Murphy, living near tile Warner bridge, left at this office. a week or two ago, four turnips that weighed twenty-eight and a half pounds. We received, about tlje same time, from Mr. George Kessler a couple of very large cabbages, each head being nearly as large as a tialf-bus.Hel measure. iLTWe an- glad to notice the extraordinary j succ -ss of our friend over the way. Mr. McShechy. ill the boot and shoe business. lie s-'t up here last spring an entire stranger, turned ciiit good work, sold cheap, advertised liberally, and he is n iW reaping his row rd. He employs sr-vi-rbl ; joiirm yiiien, out intends to doubt- the number j next ycaf. II ■ s iys th it the amount of money begets is truly surprising, and accounts for,it liv the. fact that he buys a large stock of leather at a time, paying cash, tli-reby getting it trrv low, and sells at a small profit for readv pay. We know from experience that he turns out good work, and deserves the pitrotiage of diie public.
