On Monday and Tuesday the weather was so cool that fire in onr office was deemed quite comfortable, C3Tbe mail ronte from Bloomeburg to White Hall has been extended, by way of Exchange, to Turbutsville. different parts of the county, so as to give each a controlling influence Thus, if each of tho sis candidates coulifocontrol on an average two hundred Totes, and onite their strength upon each other, the aggregate would amount to 1200. Now as tbe wbolo vote of the county, at the late primary election amounted to 2,300, it will be seen that tbe six candidates referred to would secure their nominations by contributing 200 votes each and splicing the same together, the aggregate being 1,200, or a majority of tbe wbolo nam ber of votes polled. It may be said that do combination could calculate so closely, and that some would dodge or evade the agree1 mcnt. 1 his may be so, but if we allot to each candidute any four hundred, or double tho amount, to guard against all cootingea cies, it would still go to show that ma "inside the ring" with only 400 votes could receive the nomination, by uniting his forces with the. other candidates, although he might not, singlo banded and alono, get six hundred votes in the county, or not half enough to elect him. Another mode to defeat a candi date "outside the ring" if too strong, is to multiply candidates and divide his strength. Thus, for iustao .o, there may be fix candi dates for the same office, and if tbe votes are pretty equally divided, 500 would secure a nomination, whereas tbe successful candidate, if he were to contend even handed with either of the other five, might prove tbe least popular condidute in the field. We know that it is difficult to devise a perfect system of any kind, but there can be no question that tho delegate system fairly $3" Susrp-KDKD.Tbe following is a list of or lianks whose notes are said to be uncurrent in New York t Kanawba Bank, Vs. .. j Hank or Wlckford, 11. 1.

CJTTo Prepare Tomatoks.-Wo have seen published varions modes of preparing toma. toes, but we think there is none equal to the following : Cut good ripo tomatoes into slices, place them in layers in a dish, and between each layer sprinkle plentifully with fine white sugar. In this way they are not a bud imitation of a good watermelon. Another way is to add to the sugared tomatoes, a little vinegar, diluted with ono half water. But what we consider much better is tbo addition of a little claret wine instead of vinegar, which renders tbem in flavor equal to a dish of strawberries. Tomatoes are like oysters cooking or the application of heat entirely destroys the original flavor. GT Who struck me wid dut brick, Sambo T was tbe exclamation of a darky to his com panion, after recovering from tbe effects of an electric shock which had suddenly prostrated him during a thunder storm. On lookinir over the last Gazette we came to the conclu sion thut our neighbor bad been struck, not exactly by a brick, but he had evidently been bit with something or by somebody. The editor of the Gazette affects much surprise that we should publish the story of "Bill Jenkins" after hnviug given our brcthern of tbe quill a lecture on the subject of publishing unmoral advertisements. On exumining the advertising columus of tbo Gazette, we soon discovered the cuuse of this sudden and affec ted squeamishness on the part of our neighbor n tbe shape of a "Uoldeu Pill" advertisement We certainly can see nothing indecorous or objectionable in the story of Bill Jenkins nuless broad humor may be so considered' It cannot be, surely, half as objectionable on that score, as the ' Builiugton scandal," which our neighbor spreads before the public, side by side with bis strictures on our article. Surely a humorous 6tory, if it wero even iiidelicate, can not bo comparod, in a moral point of view, with a swindling advertisement calculated to promote licentiousness, and which is published for a consideration. In a morul view there is as much difference as between horse racing and horso steulin".

We stated some three mouths since thut wheut would be dowu to $1,50 ot Phila delpbia before the holiduys. Our predictions uave been more than Mulled, We rejoice at the fall of wheat on account of the poor and the laboring classes, but we regret that our farmers have not been more fortunate with their wheat, and trust they will niuke it up in their summer and fall crops. 1 oo Jkdian. An Indian luut-erv aim lecture cume off in the Court House, on 1 uesday evenine. The nartv con sistcd of two males and two females of the Ojibway and Mobawk natious in Canada J beir appearauce iudicatod more thau the ordmary intelligence and cultivation of rivll ized Iudiaus, and their eutertuionieot gave buuvlu euufiiucuon whole people, as no one would be nominated without a majority of all tbe delegates. One caudidato may come into convention with, say 16 delegates out of 40. Tbe other 24 may be divided among three other candidates. Now it may so happen thut tbe candidate with tho 16 delegates is tbo least popular and least worthy of them ail, and when the contest is narrowed down it may be found that either of tho three lowest would be preferred by tho convention. J Ins is not the case with the present system. If a dozen candidates were in tbe field for the same office, a strong vote of ono or two townships, united on one can didute, might secure bis nomination, though he could not secure one hundred votes besides. It is all gammon for our neighbor to talk about the satisfaction, the peace and harmony of the present system. There is no peace. Tbe dissatisfaction is deep rooted and general, and be must bu blind indeed, who does not see it. It is all in vaiu for any man, however good, to attempt to secure what in culled a Demo cratic nomination aguinst tbe wishes of tbo Ioqnisition. Unless be is 'inside the ring,' ho need not look for any favors ut tbe letting, or for any thare allotted by the grand deed of partition. O Our neighbor of the Gazette, who Ib a young, we bud almost said an old bachelor, bas becu on a tour of inspection or observa- vation nt a cimp meeting, near Moorcsbnrg. Like all young bachelors, whoso organ of hope is strongly developed, oud other organs somewhat stimulated, he saw many strange sights. In going into rural districts be did not expect, be says, to see the women keep up with the fashions, aud was literully over whelmed with hoops, oyster-shell bonnets, and dusters. Ifyou expected anything else, Jobu, yon have studied woman uulure to litilo pur. pose. Of tho ladies, he counted some fitly who woulJ pass for beauties anywhere, while the larger portion were good looking. We have no desire to dispute this point, but we cannot help thinking that the ladies' dusters did not aid iu keeping the dust out of the eyes of our neighbor. Speaking of the influ ence of the ministrv, he saya, "we left before the effects of their preaching began to be developed." The Indies, however, seem to i . ... ... nave oeen mora successful in thetr ellects. as developed by tbe facts above stated. EST Tomatoes We were presented with single public well or i ,om tomatoes weighing 1 pounds, grown in me garuen or J&bn Sruick, in this place. THAT tifcUCKAUe. The editor of tho Gazette gets up a protty good joke in connection with the robbery of our ice-house, aud imagines that wo were beguiled with the music of a couple of colored minstrels who were serenading us, while oth ers, their accomplices, were helping them selves to our butter, eggs, poultry, bread( cake, and a leg of mutton. We did bear tbe music, which was uot bud, but we did net see fit to rise or cbnnge our recumbent position, Next morning tho coincidence of the music and the robbery suggested itself to our mind but we came to the conclusion that the thieves were tbe meanest kiud of "white niggers," taking not only the entire roll, but tbe last slice of some very fine butler. In regard to the mutton we had but little to regret, as no one but the butcher made anything out of that. No, no, neighbor, the inuu who did that deed never bad any music fu bis soul, and never will make any, except when he sings his lust requiem upon a "single cord." We have the authority of Shukspeare for saying that it is only tbo unmusical scoundrels who go in or the "spoils," and cuu't "be trusted The man that hath no mu.ic in hiinaelf, Nor ie not niov'd with concord of eweet soundi, Is fit for treasons, stratagems, aad spoil The mations of bis spirit are dull as night. And hie affections dark as Erebus! Let no such man be trusted. CJr Fauiliar Letters irox Abroad.
