This is a trying time to politicians-waiting for the New York returns. Messrs. Pauley and Marshall, whose home is at Bloomingtofi, Indiana, are in town, they having arrived last week. They are engaged in selling county rights for the Henley Duplex Bed Spring company, They have been in the State since August, and have met with splendid success every place they have been. This is nothing to bn wondered at, for these springs are by all odds the most simple, convenient, durable, and easiest handled of similar invention we have ever seen, and yet are within the roach of everybody.

The man that seoures the right for selling these goods in this county, will, undoubtedly "coin money." Messrs. Pauley and Marshall are stopping at the Central, and will probably supply the house with springs. Our Holden Letter. Holden, Nov. 9, 1884.

It has two complete horns, resembling a buf-faloe's, protruding from its jaws, one on each side. Mr. Armstrong's dogs killed it near Andover. It seems that St, John has been burned in effigy in many places in this State, and even in his home town. The newspapers are treating him scandalously, comparing him to Judas Iscariot and Jeff Davis.

Such treatment as this Is exceedingly mean and should not be tolerated. Three physicians are now practicing medicine in our town and vicinity, and, we are told, two more medical practitioners will soon become citizens of Benton.

The official counting in New York is not yet completed and probably-seVeral days will elapse before tho correct results will be known. The reports are to the effect that, in those voting districts heard from, Cleveland's majority is decreased in some, Blaine gaining a few votes, and so on, but the gioneral prediction is that the recount will not materially change tli6 figures already produced, which gives Cleveland a majority of about votes. We gnoss Cleveland's "given" name is "Ell." Another hotel is the latest assured enterprise in our towh. D. C.
