As the time for holding the caucuses draws near, the contest in the St. Lawrence -Jefferson congressional district begins to assume more definite form. Out of the multiplicity of candidates who, it was va- guely rumored, were each in possession of. the engines of success and who were to elbow each other i n ihe exciting race for political preferment, only a few remain in the field. What has become of them we know not; doubtiessjtianyof them decided: to wait for a morWcdnvenient season, when, with an earlier start and more weighty claims for recognition, aided by the experience and prominence their recent little booms have given them, they may entertain brighter hopes of attaining the object ot their ambition. For the present, however, the only as- pirants in St. Lawrence who are making an \all s.ummer's\ campaign if it are Hon. D. S. Lynde, ex-Assemblyman and ex- Siate Senator, and Hon. A. X. Parker, the present incumbent of the coveted seat. Just who the successful candidate will be, notwithstanding the advanced period of the canvass, it would seem almost im- possible to forecast with any degree of certainty. The two districts in Jefferson Co. are expected to be divided in support •:.m. .'.!.,,. ,-.~u ; .:i u,Mg!/iii \ -.

'' *\\' It may be, however, that once removed from the packages prescribed by lftJP, oleomargarine may be sold by the dozen pounds at a time, more or less, in real br pretended ignorance'(.fits being anything; else than butter. There can be no rectifi- cation, in such' cases, that will be at all satisfactory, although there may be a spit at law, in which six alleged experts will swear it is oleomargarine, while six ex- perts will swear it is butter. The law goes into effect about the first of Novem- ber, which will be within a month of the reassembling of congress. If any of the provisions of the bill prove to be improp- er or inadequate, they can then be amend- ed. Meanwhile the law will be subjected to searching analysis by the press* and those more directly interested, and its weakness, if it has any, will be sure to be tound out. Senator Warner Miller has had a con- versation with a reporter of the New York Mail and Express m regard to the oleo- margarine bill passed by congress, in which he says tbat those who think the reduction to two cents a pound makes the law inefficient, are thinking crronesously. He says congress had no desire to obtain revenue by a tax on bogus butter. Its mam object was to have some law passed by which bogus butter could not be sold for genuine butter, and in that we have succeeded. Dairymen all over the coun- try, he says, were divided as to the amount oleomargarine should be taxed \i\x pound. Some wanted it 20 cents in order to kill off effectually its manufac- ture; others thought 10 cents a pound sufficient. Eepresentative Parker's dispatch to the of rival local candidates. Of the three, Times, announcing the passage of the bill: districts in St. Lawrence, the Tana»-is'cer-|' fn tue house, expressed his belief that the^ tain to be for Sir. Parker, the SECOND is f tax shoiili have been ten cents per pound. Senator Miller was in favor of the tax re- maining at five cents, as affixed in the house; but he thinks the main purpose of the act will be effected with the tax as it is. He says, further: \Even the drayman who takes it from one store to another can read the brand and know what stuff he is carrying. In addition to the name plainly branded, there is the revenue stamp,. which has to be there the same as on tobacco or whisky. If the stamp is not there the dealer is sub- jected to a heavy penalty for violating the provisions made and provided for by the law. He can be arrested for his failure to comply with the revenue law and dealt with accordingly. Every wholesale dealer has to have a license to sell oleo- margarine, the same as a saloon-keeper, and every retail dealer has likewise to show a license. The inspection of places that sell bogus butter by the revenue of- ficers will go on the same as if they were inspecting a saloon.— Watertoion Times. lifer a'<;!ifia-Mr«cbffljrugo7 wliicft s\i0 have attended the district school for a period of et least eight weeks within ptfe^ar^precedfng, . \ . 4tlh Kv^sy resident and citizen of AilLage , yrho owns any personal prop- erty assessod ou the last preceding as- sessment roll of the town, exceeding fif- ty dollars in value exclusive of property exempt from execution.

In the third class (cases of children residingwith others than their parents) the phrase \him or her\ in the statute must be held to limit the suffrage to one person only, and that the head of the household. Therefore, when husband and wife living together have such a child residing with them, the wife is not on that account entitled to vote, al- though she may be for other reasons. A. S.

Whoever gets the delegates of this as- sembly district will have double the sup- port of any of his rivals. Mr. Lynde is a gentleman of consider- able legislative experience and has a good record. He is a practical farmer and promises to look after the dairy interests in first class style if sent to Congress. Be- sides, his striking personal resemblance to Hon. Jas. G. Blaine is calculated to cause him to be kindly regarded by admirers of the Maine statesman, Mr. Lynde has marie a thorough canvass, and his tnends appear sanguine in their belief that a ma- jority of the first assembly district are favorable to him. On the other hand, it is claimed for Mr. Parker that, as he has been prominent in securing the passage of the Anti-Oleomar- garine bill, his return would be a suitable endorsement of anti-oleol 'legislation by this large dairying district, and his experi- ence would enable him to aid in securing still further restrictions. jlfany take this view of the matter. Although Medsrs. Lynde and Parker\ lead the race so far, and are likely to do so up to the time of the convention, it is quite possible that neither will obtain the honorable distinc- tion. The contest will lie between the candidate that carries this assembly dis- trict and the field, and a \dark horse\ may canter off with the prize. THE 0LE0MAB6ABINE AOT. The two cents a pound tax upon oleo- margarine is no detriment whatever to its competition with butter, so far as price is concerned. It was intended only to make certain of covering the expenses connected with enforcing the main provisions of the law. It is believed that tlit, packages in the Who are Entitled to Vote at School Meetings. 1st.

There was « fair audience, considering the shortness of the noliee and the busy harvest feasor), David Gregor, Esq., occupied the chair. Mr. Parker delivered a lengthy address ex- plaining the history and significance oi the oleomargarine law, and justifying Ills course in relation to the same. Mr. Parker was listened to attentively anil at the close, in response to the call of the chairman, the meeting voted confidence in him. ~~ Air. Parker intimated his willingness-- to answer questions that might be put to him; whereupon Mr. Helmer, .-upervisor of Kossie, asked \Is hot the chief u'uji-cl of legislation accomplished by the thorough identification of oleomargarine which the recent bill pro- vides for?\ Mr. Parker replied that public opinion was divided on the subject and that those who demanded only identification were satisfied with the bill as it now stands, but to those who wanted it ti xud out of ex- istence further legislation was necessary. Hammond seems pretty evenly divided between Messrs. Parker and Lynde, and nothing short of a canvass would decide which way the town is likely to go. Life Insurance.
