N. Drake, Esq., is the efficient Su perintendent. F., , olcrrn=a. rott You.—Mr. FOLEY has e!. fine assortment of American watches and fxst class jewelry at his establishment at the both: store.

Who 'wears the " dead man's shoes" this time we forget; and we guess be will be glad to have it forgotten one of these days. THANZSGIVWG.—The President has appointed Thursday, November 28, to• be ob served us a day of thanksgiving and prayer. As the President seems to have neglected to recommend temperance in eating, etc., to the pee', p!e on that day, we do most earnestly urge every body to eat less and pray more. Roast turkey and "chicken fixings" do not induce a particular ly spiritual state of mind or body. However, the gobblers may as well prepare fur We sacrifice.— Nobody thanks anybody for disinterested advice, especially where the advice goes to cut off one's rations. THE STA.II-FL.—Thirty-three years ago, whoever was abroad on n certain November morning, from two till daylight, saw a most mag nificent sight. This was no less than a shower of meteors, which was witnessed and commented up on by the philosophers of that day. It was com puted by Aram the French astronomer, tbat no less than 240,000 of these meteors were seen that morning. These showers are periodic. It is announced that another shower may be expected on the night of November 13-14, proximo. Professor New ton, of Yale College, is the prophet. Probably be has certain data upon which to make the an nouncement. We are requested to give notice that, by order of the Executive Committee of the Tioga County Agricultural Society, there will be an inspection - of one, two and three year old colts, also mares and suoking colts, on the Fair Grounds next Saturday," the 27th inst. As the committee on "this class made no report during the Fair, this chance is offered competitors, so they can secure the premiums and notice due them from the Agricultural Society. On the same day there will take place several trots, the matches having been already made. A premium of $lO also will be offered for the best trotter, and cue of SO for the slowest trotter. The fox will be let loose, and liberal premiums will be awarded for the foremost hound. Aside from foot races and other things worthy to be- hold, the day's sport will well pay for a trip to town. Persons who have subscribed for life member— ships and have not paid, are urgently requested to make payment to the Treasurer, T. L. Robin. son. PK.; on or before Saturday next. • [For the Agitator.] Agricultural Meeting• • A few of the enterprising men of this neigh borhood met last evening at the Culver school house, according to appointment, for the purpose of organising into a township agricultural socie ty, and getting up a ploughing match this fall.— Thomaa L. Davis was-chosen Chairman. The Chair made a brief statement of the object of the meeting. A great anxiety was shown by those present (judging by the spirited remarks they made) for improvement in agricultural pursuits— in stock, implements and workmanship ; to fol low our avocatibn more systematically; and to raise the standard of our occupation, in this vi cinity, worthy of the age wo live in. The following resolutions passed unanimously : Resolved, That we will hare a ploughing match on Thursday, tho tirade,' of November next, at one o'clock P. M.; a notice of the place to be given in next week's Agitator; to be conducted as follows: Competitors to send their names to the Secretary, on or before the last of this month. A committee of three to be chosen, whose duty it shall be to select ground, measure, stake and num ber each land. The ploughmen to choose lands by ballot. Three judges to be appointed, who shall be located in a certain room from, the time of balloting until the ploughing is done, in order to avoid the least possible chance for partiality. Resolved, That we give an invitation to all our fellow townsmen to meet at the Burns school house next Friday evening, to complete the or ganisation and to elect otßoers for the ploughing match. Resolved, That the premiums for ploughing shall be the "sailor of the manse. D. G. El:means, Secretary. Charleston, Ootober 20, 1866. List of Jurors, Drawn for Nov.

WELLBBORP, P&NIQ•a WEDNESDAY, OCT. 24, 1866 CIRCULATION 1,660- With nation toward none. with maim for ALL, with firmness in the RIGHT, let us strive to finish the work we are in. to bind up the nation's wounds, to care fur him who shall bare borne the battle;and for his widow and orphans, and to do all which may achieve and cherish ajust and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.—A. LtncOttt—tlescn 4,1865. Gen. GEARY'S majority in the State i5'17,227. WILSON'S majority in the district is 2,046—a gain of 1,200 on his majority in 1864. Glory enough for this year! A GeOrgia paper having declared that the South wanted a million of General Grangers in the North, our spicy co temporary, the Erie Gazette, asks if half-a-million Grangers and half-a-mill ion Ousters will not do. As an evidence of the salutary effect of the late Republican victories upon the unreconstructed South, we extract from a letter written by Maj. A. E. NILES,• now on duty in South Carolina, the following : "I want to congratulate you upon the result of the elections so far as heard frem. I never felt to proud of my native State as Ido at this time. You can't imagine how civil it makes the Reba. They begin fb see for the first time that a coalition with the Copperheads may harm them. They will como to it and adopt the amend ruente ; all that is necessary now Is backbone. A plenty of that in the Republican party, and the thing will end as it should. I know what lam talking about, and I say don't let Brava falter for nothing; the proper course Hog ahead, and all will come right in the course of time." GkIN AND LOSS Now that the smoke of the battle has cleared away, it becomes us to consider the result, and by comparison with the result of the year when the heaviest previous vote was cast, estimate our gains and losses. It is not our custom to deal in vague declarations of gains and losses when the figures can be got at. The heaviest vote ever cast in this county prior to that of the 9th day of October, 1866, was in 1863. The aggre gate vote of that year was 6,121. Of these Curtin received 4,544 i and Wood ward I,6l7—giving-Curtin a majority of 2,887. In t e recent election the aggregate ti ts vote w - 6,419. Of these Geary received 4,791, and. Clymer I,B2B—giving Geary a majority of 3,163. This shows an in creased Republican majority of 256; an increase of votes to the number of 298, of which 287 accrue to the RepubliCane, and only eleven to the opposition. These are the figures for the aggregate gains of both parties in this county.— They do not lie, nor can they be made to comfort our opponents. Our heaviest gain, in both vote and majority, is in Bloss, where Geary's ma jority nearly doubles Curtin's in 1863. The gain on the whole vote is also im mense-114—showing that Bloss is grow ing fast, and that her Republicans are up and doing. Covington and borough gain 25 votes for us, and gain 19 on majority. This is handsome, and shall be remembered. Chatham falls off on her vote for Cur tin, but the opposition stand just as they s stood for ...Woodward-93 This occurs elsewhere; and we have yet to find a single district where any falling off in the Republican vote shows a cor responding increase in the vote for Cly mer and Wright. This shows that the ranks are not only unbroken, but, .taken in connection with the fact that our in creased majority represents our increase on the aggregate vote, it shows that cor rect principles are flourishing with re newed vigor in our grand old banner county. Not to be too selfish, let us go outside the county, and see if Republican prin ciples are not on the progressive side elsewhere. . _ Lycoming county cast her heaviest vote in November, 1864, when her ma jority for McClellan was 806. This year her majority for Clymer IS 577, a falling off of 229, and a corresponding gain for us. The official vote in Clinton, Cen ter and Potter has not reached us, but we have little doubt of a corresponding growth of correct principles in those counties. It is doubtful if the vote in the State will prove so large as that of Novem ber, j 864.1 Probably it will not much exceed that cast for Governor in 1863. The majority for Geary will considera bly overgo Curtin's three years ago, from present indications. The magnitude of .the +Victory just achieved may be comprehended best by taking Into consideration the fact, that ix 1863 the patronage of the General Government was in Republican hands ; whereas, this fall, the entire influence of the General Government was used against us with a bold unscrupulousness never exceeded'. Against patronage, against such wlaUlesale lying as we nev er before encountered, against mighty and persistent 'attempts to arouse the prejudices of the people against us, we have routed the legions of rebellion and scattered them like chaff. It is something to be proud of, some thing to be grateful for. The irresisti ble power of awakened conscience was never before so manifest. And thus has the country been res cued from very great peril once more, and the Chief Magistrate has been taught a solemn lesson. The people have decided that the Union must be restored upon the Congressional plan, substantially ; that the chiefs of rebell ion have forfeited their right to the priv ilege of the elective franchise under the common Constitution; that treason shall be made odious and traitors infamous ; and that the Government shall hereaf ter be administered upon the broad and Christian plan of trxivEnsha, JUSTICE TO UNIVERSAL MAN. DEFulccr ! Yes, that's the word.— The new paper at Williamsport has put out its farthing rush-light, and the city is draped in gloom. Whether the ex tinction of the serene Dunham's lumi nosity will require the Mayor of the city to keep the street lamps lighted du ring the day, or not, we cannot say.— But we shall miss the "something to laugh at," which always came when we opened . the Union Republican. If wevould say " Dunham's gone up," we Would ; but the truth is, he kept the company of those whose feet naturally enough go down, instead of up. "My policy" is death to its advocates. Dun ham done his patrons, but "my policy" done him. That was a good reply of Theodore Tilton to the question : " Would you marry a black woman?" "No," said he, " unless I was the father of her children, in which case I would be a shamed not to marry her." This was in Philadelphia, and during his speech at the Union League hall.— If every rebel and rebel sympathizer Would take a hint, this hint of Tilton's" would do them good. After the defeat of Wright in 1864, we stated that not Mr. Wright, but his money, was defeated. We now repeat the statement as applicable to his Wat erloo this year. Mr. Wright was never put forward as a fit person for the posi tion. In intellect he does not exceed mediocrity, and in a fair knowledge of human nature he is hopelessly below par. He hung around the tap-rooms of Wellsboro, and employed silly go-be tweens to corrupt the Republicans who were believed to be corruptible. Had he been penniless, even his party would never have thought of naming him for Congress. Wilson's majority in the district is larger than we reported it last week—or upward of 2,000. This district, it will be recollected, was one of the three se lected by Edgar Cowan & Co., (which firm now represents the modern democ racy,) for especial operations. The san guine Cowan proposed to elect three Copperjohnson members of Congress in hliberto Republican districts, but whet the vote in 1864 was close. Unfortu nately for his plans, he spent so much time in trying to defeat Scofield, in the Warren district, Mercur, 'in the Bradford district, and Wilson, in this district, that he suffered Covode to be elected in his own district, where the election of a Coppeijohnson was consid ered safe. The effect of Cowan's influ ence may be seen in the almost trebling of Wilson's majority of 1864, and the heavy gains of Mercur and Scofield over their majorities in 1864. Mr. Cow an proposed to defeat three Republicans the people elected them, and defeated two Copperheads besides. Our delega tion in the 40th Congress stands 18 Re publicans to 6 Copperjohnsons. We said last week that the dispatch, to the effect that the President had in terrogated the Attorney General as to his prerogative to disperse Congress, was a hoax. It is so declared by the President. But it is a significant fact that the leading papers of the rebels in the South, as of the Copperheads in the North, seized upon it as truth, and still declare that the President may properly set up as Dbitator and repudiate Con gress. If these devilish papers desire to feel the public pulse, very well. They may as well understand that such alA ceeding on the part of the President will die met on the threshold, and those who adVocate it will disappear like flax in a flame. A friend asks us to expose the post election lie that the Johnsonites have gained heavily in all the States which voted October 9. We will dcv it with figures which cannot be disputed : Sixty Congressmen were elected on that day, 48 of whom are Radicals, and 12 Johnsonites. In 1864 we had 47 of these 60 Con"- gressmen, and the Johnsonites had 13. That 14 the way the opposition have gained se? tremendously. Is it plain? Put with our 48 the 8 members from Vermont, Maine, and Oregon, and we have 56 Radicals elected this fall to 12 Copperheads—about sto 1. Is it plain ? One of the very best statements of the question at issue between the Republi can and Copperhead parties, was made by ft Tioga county " Democrat" In this village the other day. Said he : " The difference between us is just this—the Republican party is in favor of univer sal freedom, and our party is in favor of universal slavery." We are assured that a prominent apos tle of that party living here, made the same a,cknowledgment to a Republican not many.days ago. Thank you for so much truth. Go ahead. The Copperhead papers aie placing much stress upon a loose statement that the sons of Daniel Webster and Henry Clay are with Andrew Johnson. Daniel Webster's sons are dead—the last one having been killed in the war; and Henry Clay's sons were rebels du ring the war, and are' not changed at this present. • However, it is not very much to be wondered at that these drowning men should catch at straws. The lie is harm- less as far as Webster's sons are con cerned, and the truth makes against Johnson as regards Clay's rebel prog eny. Some of the Incidents of the campaign were notable. One B. F. Meyers, the Copperhead candidate for State Senator In the Bedford district, said in a speech in that town that the time would come when a monument would be erected to Booth higher than that erected to Lin coln. Undoubtedly the rebels and Copper heads would furnish the funds to build such a monument. . But we suspect that the structure would topple down upon its constructors, and prove the grave mound of treasoh and its sympathizers. However, start the subscription paper. A. Johnson has a queer way of mak ing traitors infamous. Thiee hundred and seventy-two persons were indicted for treason and conspiracy in Kentucky, and the U. S. District Attorney has en tered a nolle prasequi in each case. The people are thus taught that tressOn is not so much of a crime as larceny. J. A. PARSONS' LIST OF BARGAINS FOR IPEt.U.
