lender his resignation, that his posi

Chairman.
We learn from the Gazette, the of
ficial Democratic. organ of Elk county,
that the Democrats will hold their pri
mary meeting for the election of dele
gates on Saturday, Aug. 31st, 1878, to
meet in convention at the court house
in Ridgway on Tuesday, September
8d. .
The Gazette says "that blustering
blow-gun the Advocate published by
Walter Shupe of New York, and said
to be In the interest of the Greenback
party went into bankruptcy on Satur
day last," Wrong dog by the tail
Brandon, put on your specs. Shupe,
not the Advocate, went into bank
ruptcy. The September Number of
" Peterson's Magazine " is on our ta
ble, ahead of all others as usual. In
addition to a beautiful steel engraving
" Crossing the Brook," and a superb,
double-size, colored, steel fashion plate,
there are four colored patterns, two for
applique and two for tidies in darned
net. Though this is a magazine of
frshion and art primarily, it is also
cue of literature; and no lady's book
nt all approaches it in its powerful
stories and novelets. In the present
number, wo have, among other arti
cles, ,'The Mystery of Slonk's Hol
low," by a new contributor, one of (lie
most powerful stories we have read for
years. In addition "Peterson" boasts
such contributors as Sirs. Ann S.
Stephens. Frank Lee Benedict, Sirs.
R. Harding Davis, Slarietto Holley,
the author of Josiah Allen's Wife,"
etc., etc. Then there is a Supplement,
with full-size diagram, containing a
pattern for a child's dress, which is
alone worth the price of the number.
The terms of this, the cheapest and
best of the lady's books, are but two
dollars a year, with very great reduc
tions to clubs. Certainly every family
ought to take " Peterson." Specimens
sent gratis to those wishing to get up
clubs. Address Chas. J. Peterson, 300
