OF RARE: INTEREST.—We shall commence
in a few weeks, a very interesting series of
articles, giving the political history of the
county from 1920 to the present time, includ
ing the names of all the candidates voted for
each office, the most important votes,and
other information of value. It will be of rare
interest to the older portion of our citizens,
and furnish mach, desirable knowledge for
those who have come upon the scene of ac
tion at a lateqate; A.4 . the articles will run
through a doze'n or more papers, those who
desire to read and preserve,them should sub
scribe at" once, in order to make sure, of se
enring the pill serif,.
HON . , C. L. I. muruirox.—We' received a
hurried visit on Saturday front Hon. Chas.
L. Lamberton, of Lucerne county, who was
on the way for a -visit to his old home in
Clarion, and could not resist the temptation
to stop over for a I'm hours in our city. Mr.
L . formerly represented the Clarion district
in the State Senate. where he obtained the
reputatimi of b.dng one of the ablest mem-
C . IN of that body. His caustic speeches in
reply to Senator Lowry on several occasions,
which Were republished in the Observer at
the time, have made his unale Millibar to the
Democrats of Erie .county, and to all who
met him he seethed like an old acquaintance.
Mr. Lambertoa is now a resident of Wilkes
where he has alreaity 'won a leading
position as a lawyer and pultlic man
A Nsyrnsrlanv 1.011,1ay is

of the justice of tlie Ca mnission-r's action,
in binding her over in the smn of ODO for

States Court.
HORACE GREELEY IN ERIE.—III Homed'
Greeley's personal renunisejnces, he states
that hia first visit to Erie county was about
January Ist, 1831. Ills father hail pre'vious
ly located in Wayne township, and Horace
walked liome from GOwanda, Caltarakigna
eonnty, where he had been, working a's a
journeyman printer at till pei month. He
remained about a month, during which he
was engaged at cutting wood and making
himself, generally useful, when he concluded
that the life of_ a pioneer was not his "forte,"
and struck out for Erie to secure employ
ment at his-trade. Who' knows. but that if
he had remained he might have attained to
the honor of a respectable termer, and served
country in the responsible offices of
Justice of the Peace, County Auditor, -Ass°.
clate Judge, or. it might be, have risen to•the
dignity of a Pennsylvania Legislator, instead
of remaining a mere editor all his,life Ile
was fortunate in Finding - sotrk• at the ( iaieltc
one, then owned hr ‘!: erica. at $l5
per month, tlo mos , t:,a!, he had ever made,
'where he remained loriha mwohs, boarding
ita Air. Sterrett's family. Aitt , ough Horace
was a mere youth t wen! v, hi, writing' tab
ents already, gave pt.auisc of . a
hat Haiti
future, and Mr. Sten ett took such a fancy to
him that he was offered a 'partnership in the
office, "'which," he say, "though I had ,rea
sons for declining, Wfl9 none the less flatter
ing as a mark of appreciation and confidence."
How he finally happened to go to New
FY'ork; let Horace tell in his own words:
."At length work failed at the Gaztote
of
flce,and I was constrained to take'a fresh de
parture. No printing office in all that region
wanted a journe}•man. The west seemed to
be laboring under a surfeit of printers. One
'was advertised fir to fake charge of a jour
nal at Wilkesbarre, Pa.,-and applied for the
'place, but failed to secure it. I would gladly
have given faithful labor at the case and
press through some years yet at *l5 per
month and board, or even less; but it was
nut tube had. Sompou full consideration, I
decided to turn my steps toward the Com
mercial Emporium, while still considerably
younger than I would have 'preferred to he
on making such a venture. Paying a parting
visit-to my fitther's, under the reasonable ex
pectathin that my next absence would he a
'long one, I divided with him my Erie earn
ings, and with it 23 in my pocket, and t cry:
little extra clothing in my bundle. I
face tori•aard .New York."
The career of Horace is a fresh illtistration
of the way that circumstances mould men.
Suppose he had accepted a partnership in the
Gazette—what then?
MEE
PROILRTY IN DISPUTIL—A colored man,
residing in Erie, is about to bring suit to re
cover a large amount of property in Wash
ington borough, which. it is alleged, belonged
to his grandmother. The property in ques
tion is located on the east side of Main street,
embracing the College and Seminary build
ings,and is valued at ifBoo,ooo. A lawyer of
Erie visited the borough last week, and seems
satisfied that the negro's title is good. Con
siderable excitement exists among the present
holden; of the land, who will contest the
clahn warmly in case legal proceedings are
instituted. We understand that the valuable
coal lands belonging to Mr. Shills, of the St.
Charles lintel, lie within , the disputed dis
trict. The matter has not yet been hilly de
veloped, but all the facts will doubtless soon
be made publie.—Pith. Republic.
The editor of the Crawford Demaerat,who
was once a resident of Washington,stiv:3 this
story is "not well dove-tailed," and that, it
bears the marks of untruth upon its face.
The Erie colored man is a mystery in this
city We suspect that oar distinguished fel
low townsman, of canalboat, fresh beef and
Jloeky Mountain cat fame, Commodore Jas.
Stewart, has recently been on a visit to the
Pittsburgh Republic office.
THE observer sail a week or two since
that it had a laiger circulation in the city .
,than both the city dailies put' together.—
Mil , /
The Observer said no such thing. What
it did say wat, that its circOtlation . in Out city
is considerably - -larger than the xvliole sub
scription list df the daily Republican—a
statement it i 4 prepared to verify whenever
called upon. People who make a practice
of quarreling with everybody they have ev'er
beeki associated with; "should have good
memories," or they may iind themselves un
comfortably tripped up when they least

G itxrr: G itowmts' INIF.Ermo.—We ask our
ceaders who are interested in the success of
grape culture in this vicinity to keep in
mind the meeting to he heht at the Court
House on the 20th inst. A number of the
most prominent citizens of the county are
interesting themselves in the movement, and
It is 'confidently believed' that the Meeting
will be one of the most interesting held here
in many years. We arc in hopes of seeing
a large attendance.
. S6>GMENT NOTES.—The Commissioner 'of
Internal Revenue has decided that a judg
ment note should be stamjled at the usual
rate of promissory notes, being live cents for
every $lOO, or fractional part thereof, with
five cents additional, on account of the'claiase
"without defalcation." The Collector in this
district long ago-gave a decision to the same
effect, so that the rule will affect no one in

from all the Irish religious and secular or
ganizations, and must have embraced nearly
a thousand participants. 'Two bands
in the line, a number of handsome banners
were displayed,' the badges and insignia,of
the various societies looked neat and appro
priate,.and all combined made one of the
finest demonstration, we have had in Erie
for years. In the evening the Cathedral was
crowded to hear a lerture from the eloquent
Father Finnucane, of Meadville, which is
spoken of by those present as a remarkably .
interesting effort.. The orderly manner in
which our Irish citizens conducted them
selves during the day is the subjert
gene
ral commendation .
No Britow ELucTioss.—On the morning
of our last issue we made special exertions to
obtain correct particuilars about Lott l'y's
bill to change the time tar holding local
elections, and prestAned that . we had ob
tained sufficiently reliable information to
warrant us in stating that it would not be
come a law in time to prevent the elections
from being held as this spiiug. About
a third of our edition had been print
ed and circulated, when a telegram came
saying that the bill had been signed' by the
Governor anti become .a law. We immedi
ately stopped the press, and removed the
first notice. to -make room for the later in
formation, but as some misapprehension
might have ensued, we give this es:planation
to account for •the difference of statement.
'By the new law, the city, township and

THE law putting off the local elections to
fall meets with general denunciation from
the,disintereSted citizens. of bath parties.
Senator Lowry, who is looked upon as the
father of the bill, comes in for his full shard
of. censure. The Dispatch lets out the real
object of the law when it says : "It will give
the offices to the dominant party." We shall
see what we bhall see, and in the meantime
take occasion to remind the Republicans of
a little maxim which says: "There's many
a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip."

Our citizens generally will rejoice to hear of

TILUEE separate remonstrances have been
sent from this city against the ratification of
the Constitutional Amendment by the Legis
lature. One of them, introduced by Mr.
Wallace, last week, contained the names of
about forty Republicans, and the , list would
have been vastly extended If Ow gentlonau
who circulated it could have had lime to give
it momattention. In the county, remon
strances have been circulated in every school
district, and no difficulty Is found in obtairi

community, we believe the amendment

Tim Republican calls the Dispatelis fa
vorite idea to have a German elected as one

to us as the most absurd•pieee of demagogu-

born on the Rhine or the Shannon; that
therefore he must he nominated by a party
for any-oillce, is rank political heresy. If a
Man is tit for an (Alice, and he wants it, let
him enter the arena as an American citizen
and claim it on that ground, and not on the
ground•that 'our citizens of German ances
try must. receive proper attention.' " Re
gardless of the Republican's opposition, a
co` asiderable number of our leading Germans
are resolved upon bringing a heavy pressure
to ..hear in favor of the movement.

"Me fully appreciates Mr. Scofield's worth
but his days of man , worshipPing are oycri
and he would not presume to even make,an.Y
suggestions to his constituents with regarato

into plain I!aglith, means that the Senator
has a longing - eye for Seofield's place, and
doesn't wish to have any old endorsement
staring him in the face in case he makes up
his mind to try his chances fur the nomina

during-our recent storm that I bad been en -
gaged in hauling wood ] ; had been nearly
frozen ; had complained' a great deal about
our climate ; had, in fact, said several hard
things in regard'to it. The day's work was
finished, and tired and disgusted, I retired to
my virtuous conch. I had lain there but a
short time, when suddenly the roof opened,
and I was borne away high nit among the
clouds, higher and higher ttll the_ earth
seemed but a mere speck in the dim dis=
Lance. Soon I came to what seemed to be a
mighty work shop. I saw huge workmen
standing by cunt forges, hammering= out
icicles from huge bars, of ice; others were
making hail; some were , loading trains of
clouds with snow. I passed into what
seemed to be the Nile°, and indeed there at
the desk sat the Clerk of the weather. I bad
been there but a short time, when a work
man put his head into the door and said:
"We have several million tons of snow over
our order. What shall we do with it 'P'
"Send it to Erie county." came from the
des' , . Soon another came with "we have
spoiled about half the wind that we have got
made. We have tempered it too cold."
"Send it to Erie county,' came again from
the,clesk. I sat there some time reflecting
whether I had better not remonstrate, and,
in filet, as about to speak, when another
door-opened, and in floated a beautiful crea
ture clothed in green, with a bunch of wild
Howes in her hand, and a wreath of roses
:around her fair head. She approached the
desk: and inn voice like the sots South wind
sail: 'Sir, the itrishine ha. got so badly
inixikt with water that we are unable to sep
:trite it." "S.tve it for Erie county wiettliCr,"
thundered the voice from the desk. She
smiled sweetly and passed out. She bad
hardly closed the door when in came an
other. This proved to be a person in .eareh
of employment. "Have you eve r worked at
the, business?' said he at the desk. - No."
"Well, you may try your hand at Erie coun
ty weather, and vyou improve we AV jll pro
mote yo:." I - could 'hear no more, but
nplang to My fc't frith "Inv cicger air." Wh,
the scene Gated from my view, I was again
in thy own room, my window- was down and
the snow was softly sifting over my f.mc and
it was all a dream.

It is generally understood that Tea is retailed for a Larger aidv.tuce on 'its original enst than
any other article in the long Ilst of honsehohi stores, which maybe, partially accounted for by
N
recollecting THE GREAT UMBER AND IMMENSE AVOUNT OF PROFITS which-Accumu
late on it between the cultivation in t'hina and . Japan, and the consumers here, including the
American Commission House there; the halm - ter,. the Banker who furnishes the ezchan ie ;
the middle men or speculators: the wholesale grocer, and the - retailer, Each of these make
large, and many of them enormous profits, from which it Is evident that the consumer Is com
pelled to pay many times the original cost for a pure at Wile, or forced to use an adulterates' or
inferior one.
It is with a view to remedy this evil that out gigantic enterprise was formed over 11 year Ago
which has been a perfect gucces., and we e ventured to open a Store in Erie, so that we may
better avegmtnixlitte our customers west of New York State.
