Grand Illumination and Parade* A. novel and impressive scene was wit- nessed in the Bioketson grove near Peasle- ville, last Saturday afternoon and evening. People gathered not only from Peasleville and immediate vicinity, but from Saranao, Bedford, Sohuyler Falls, Peru, Morrison- ville, Plattsburgh and elsewhere, and the number present was variously estimated at from 700 to 1000. In the beautiful grove, the enterprising ladies of Peasleville had arranged long rows of tables, covered with white linen, and laden with a variety of dishes that would do credit to a first olass hotel or the Steamer Adirondack ! Not only vege- tables, baked beans, brown bread, cold and warm meats, chicken pie and other sub- stantial articles, but rice puddings, cus- tard puddings, pies, jelly and frosted cakes, and other pastry articles, and good tea and coffee with plenty of cream and sugar. Of course visitors paid a moderate sum for their meals, but they got the worth of their money and more too, and the Methodist society have got $130 more of cash in their treasury! A oommodious platform had been erect- ed on the ground, surrounded with seats, and at about three o'clock the large as- semblage was called to order by L. M. Howes, of Peasleville, and Hon. N. Lap- ham was oalled to preside. Visiting Re- publicans were honored with positions. A. W. Lansing was made Secretary of the meeting. Gen. S. Moffit, W. O. Wilson, Major. C. Dolan, J. A. Signor, Dr. E. 0. Low, Henry Justin were named as Vice- presidents. Mr. A. Putnam ushered visi- tors upon the platform. After a few preliminary remarks, Mr. Lapham introduced Hon. Frederick A. Johnson, of Glens Falls, our Representative in Congress, who is very properly nomi- nated for re-election this fall. For about an hour, Mr. Johnson entertained his hearers with a sound and able speech, giv- ing a portion of his time to a review of the trying events of former years, through rhioh the Republican party, backed up by the loyal soldiery, carried bur country tri- umphantly. The soldiers have no truer friend than Mr. Johnson, as many during the past two years have had reason to know. Chauncey Turner, Esq., of Sohuyler Falls, on urgent solicitation, consented to occupy a few moments and was listened to closely. Then followed one of the most eloquent and convincing speeches from Hon. Geo. W. Palmer, our candidate for member of Assembly, that we have ever had the pleasure of listening to. He was greeted with rousing oheers. The large crowd gathered closely around, and the repeated and tumultuous applause that was inter- spersed by his hearers from first to last, showed that they appreciated his indisput- able facts and arguments. THB IliLtJMlNATION AND PARADE. While Mr. Palmer was speaking, the shades of night began to fall, and rousing bonfires were built on the various stands in the grove ereeted for the purpose. Sup- per was announced, and the meeting adjourned for half an hour. In the mean time, the two large uniformed companies of Blaine and Logan Guards from Saranao ind Bedford, each about 75 strong, were brought into line, and with lighted torches, and led by martial music, paraded about the grove. The scene was a very impres- sive one, and the occasion was richly en- joyed. The Saranao and Bedford Repub- licans are entitled to much credit for their enterprise. The two companies have j been organized and uniformed, and this was about their first appearance. H. H, Skeels is Captain of the Bedford company Henry Durkee, 1st Lieutenant, and Alex- ander MoOasland, 2d Lieutenant. Of the Saranao company, Duncan Murphy is Cap- tain, Alonzo Smith, 1st Lieutenant, and Samuel Goyyea, 2d Lieutenant. After supper, Mr. Palmer continued his speech, and was listened to by a large and enthusiastic audietfoe. The meeting dosed at about nine o'olook, and was every way a great suocess. On Monday morning last, Thomas B. O'Brien, a genuine Irish Republican, from Buffalo, N. Y., the home of Cleveland, ar- rived in Plattsburgh, and on Monday even- ing put in an appearance in the Demo- cratic stronghold of Beekmantown Cor- ners. There had been only a few hours 1 notioe of his coming. The day had been rainy; the night was dark and foreboding, and the Demooraoy of the Grose Boads flat- tered itself that the meeting was to be a failure. It was a little late when the speaker arrived. The Cross Boads Drum Corps was assembled as usual in Basoom's bar-room, and by its stirring strains ap- pealed to the Democracy to stand faith- ful. But when the Chazy Band opened up in Marshall's Hall, there was a general stampede, and the Democratic resort wore a deserted appearance. Mr. O'Brien had just suoh an audience he was pleased to meet, composed largely of Democrats of his own national- ity. But in our opinion there were lea thorn Democrats and more of them Repub- licans when he closed than when he began. Wo do not rofor to the two who found it HO hot that they beat a retreat in bad or- der; for with theBe two or three exceptions the audience remained to the close, and paid vory clone attention, and when it was proposed to givo three oheers for Blaine and Logan, nearly the entire crowd arose to their feet ami ohocretl lustily. We only rogrot that evory intelligent Irishman in Beekmantown could not have hoard Mr. O'Brien. Ho showed in a man- ner that cannot bo controverted that the Democracy which has sought to monopo- lize their votes is the ally of England, and that Democratic suooess is tho success of tho English polioy of free trade that ban impoverished Ireland, and drives its peoplo from their homos. Tho cnterpri sing Irish farmers of Beekmantown, many of whom have paid for their farms and ac- cumulated a handsome property under tho fostering care of a Republican protective tariff during tho past twenty-three years, will do well to think of these things. Pole Raising at tne Upper Kilns* The Republican camp fires are being lighted all through the Adirondaoks. At no point is there more genuine enthusiasm than at the well-known locality known as tbe Upper Kilns, of which M. L. Baldwin is Superintendent, near Franklin Falls. The question of protection to honest labor comes near home to the industiious wood- choppers and ooal burners, and they have too good sense not to distinguish the dif- ference between the Republican party that has always stood true to the protective tariff, and the free-trade Democracy that is now trying to deceive the voters of this manufacturing region by putting on a Re- publican coat. Although only about six hours notice was given, nearly one hundred men, in- cluding a considerable number of Demo- crats, assembled at the Kilns on Thursday afternoon, Oot. 9, for the purpose of un- furling to the breeze a Blaine and Logan flag. After raising a pole over 80 feet in height, from which the red, white and blue floated proudly, the principal speaker, Chester B. McLaughlin, of Port Henry, ras introduced, and in a very clear man- ner he showed' the laboring men that our best interests can only be secured by voting for Blaine, Logan and protection. Mr. McLaughlin, like the other Repub- lican speakers to whom we have referred, does great credit to himself and to the party he represents by confining himself to an honorable discussion of the distinct between the two parties, instead of resorting to the Democratic stylo of per- sonal abuse. He was followed by Rev. L. W. Cornell, of Bloomingdale, who gave his reasons as a clergyman and an advocate of temper- ance, why it was his duty to cast his in- fluence in favor of the Republican candi- dates. It is evident that Cleveland-free-trade Demooraoy is at a great discount up among the mountains and lakes of the Adiron- dack. Mr. Cleveland's visit to that region did not make him any votes. East Chazjr Thoroughly Aroused. SPEECHES, CAMPAIGN OLUBS, BANNERS AND BABNEST WOEK. A correspondent summarizes the aotive campaign that has been opened in East Chazy as follows: A very large Republican meeting was held in Academy Hall, East Chazy, Oct. 6th, whioh was addressed by Hon. W. J. Youngs, of N. Y., followed by Hon. Geo. W. Palmer, our candidate for Member. Both gentlemen adhered closely to show- ing the benefits of a protective tariff, and the injuries that must arise from free trade. Mr. Palmer won golden opinions, and we prediot his eleotionthis fall a certainty. On the same evening, a Blaine and Logan Club, now numbering nearly 100, was or- ganized, of whioh R. S. McOnllough was chosen President, and the following gen- tlemen were seleoted as Vioe-PreBidents: Dr. A. W. Fairbanks, A. E. Hyde, A. P. Denis, I. H. Abare, Wm. Savage, Geo. An- derson, J. D. Wiloox, H. J. Hinman, Wm. Lapler, Ohas. Hyde, Asa Riohardson and E. L. Ladd. H. J. Hinman was chosen Treasurer, and E. L. Wheeler, Correspond- ing Seoretary. A canvassing committee for each school district was ohosen. A sufficient sum was at once subscribed, and Messrs. Hinman and Fairbanks were se- lected to purchase a Blaine and Logan banner, and also torches for the use of the olub. East Ohazy is waking up as it never has before. Western Correspondence. LONE TREE, NEB., Oct. 5, 1884. Hear Sir:— This neighborhood has been thrown into the most intense state of excite ment by the discovery of a crime, or series of crimes, some of the revolting details of •hich exceed for utter hprribleness almost anything that has been recorded for yeara past. A crime involving the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Percival and child, about one year old, and a man named Meyer, and the disappearance from this neighborhood of two men named Furnival and Baird, be- lieved by most to be either the murderers or else additional victims. The facts as they appeared at the inquest are very briefly outlined below, and are as ollows: Last Monday Peroival was last ien returning from the village of Fuller- ton with lumber, and would reach home late in the night. Baird was left at Per ri- vals where he was boarding, and Fnrnival and Meyer were living by themselves in a house owned by the latter. Nothing more is known up to Thursday, ?hen an insurance agent cametoPercivaf s m business, and finding the house closed went to the barn and was horrified to find Percival shot through the head and throat cut, and with one arm and part of bis face devoured by the hogs. Jumping into his wagon he drove rapidly >ver to Meyer's house to give the alarm. Finding that house also closed, he hasten- ed to the next house where he found peo- ple at home who soon spread the alarm, bringing the whole country out, and to the cene of the horror. Further search soon discovered Mrs. Percival and the child shot through the head, both in bed with the door locked and stove in with an axe, and Meyer shot and throat cut in bed in his own house. Furnival and Baird are missing, and are believed as stated above, to be either mur dered or the murderers. The whole affair seems to be an impene- trable mystery, and no cause or motive B yet to appear to account for the com- mission of the crime. Rumors are afloat to the effect that the murdered men had considerable sums of money, and also that the parties had had difficulty, but I find nothing reliable. AH the parties are young Englishmen, and well thought of. Later.—I have just learned that the body of Baird has been found with one buok- shot in the face, indicating a shot at long range, and a whole charge of buck-shot in the back of the head indicating very short range. The body was found only a short distance from Percival's house hid under Borne brush. Furnival's whereabouts are as yet un- known, but a man thought by some in Fullertori* to be him rode one of Perceval's horse's into town Tuesday morning. He left the horse at the livery and took the east-bound train at that place. Very truly yours, N. H. ABNOLD. Wednesday luff's Demonstration ,-yfc _ in riattsburffb. The four uniformed Blaine and Logan clubs in Plattsburgh gave a fine torchlight parade Wednesday evening, after which the hall was filled to overflowing, to listen to the speakers of the evening. A beautiful flag was presented to Com pany A, Captain Stave, by Charles W. Vaughan, and we are free to say that the presentation speech by C. H. Moore, Esq. was the most eloquent production to whioh we have had the pleasure of listening during the campaign. The speeoh of G. H. Beokwith, Esq. waB a telling one, whioh we summarize elsewhere. See ' 'Hot Shot!' The glee olub rendered some very fine music. Mr. P. G. Falardeau, of Cohoes, ad- dressed the large number of Canadian gentlemen present, in the Frenoh Ian guage, whioh Btirred up the Democratic henchmen who are trying to mislead the honest Canadians of this county. When these well-meaning citizens learn how gross- ly they have been imposed upon by the Dem- ooratio Frenoh speakers and writers of this locality they will resent it by turning their backs on the men who have thus betrayed their confidence. We are pleased to know that Mr. Falar- deau is to speak at various points in this county. A tilt EAT TIIOLS: AT IdOOERS. Tw o ITIeetlngM at Once I The largest political gathering ever held at Mooers, ooourred on Monday evening last. Companies of Blaine and Logan Guards from three or four different places joined In the torch-light parade. The crowd was so great that two halls were filled to overflowing, Hon. George W. Palmer speaking at Shedden's Hall, and Mr. Falardeau, of Cohoes, in Knapp's Hall, fflooen Forks Blaine and Logan Olub. The following are the officers of the Mooers Forks Blaine and Logan Club: President—3. J. Franois. Treasurer—3. K. Whitney. Secretary— H. E. Delphos. Vice-FreddenU—yim. Sample, Thomas Johnson, W. S. Fitch, Edwin Sartwell, Samuel Cannon, Bobt. J. Armstrong, Jo seph Armstrong, Jr., William Laporte, Geo. Peterkin, H. 8. Blaokman, Henry Ploof, Wm. Myors, Wm. Laohanoe, Mark H. Mellon. Mr. O'Brien i n Bedford. A correspondent writes on Wednesday i follows .- DBAB SIB:—The meeting addressed last evening by Mr. O'Brien in Bedford was largely attended, and the speaker was lis- tened to with the greatest attention. Mr. O'Brien did not waBte time on frivolous aneodoten, bat dealt in solid facts. A goodly number of Democrats listened to him, and it is believed that the food for re- flection received by them will show goodly results. Bedford has heard, from Ohio, and will try to do her duty o l the 4th of November. * BEDFORD. —Our schools in both the upper and lower districts, are progressing finely with Miss Fanny Church and Andrew Morhous as teachers. —We have had an abundance of rain, and at present writing are having quite a snow storm. —Our esteemed and much needed friend, John T. Davidson, who haa been very sick for the past two weeks,- we are happy* to learn is on the gain. , —Mrs. R; Merritt who has been spending the summer, visiting relatives and friends las returned to Afton, her former home, but intends to soon leave that place to join her husband who is in Florid*, which state they will make their future home. —M. P. Stoughton's store is nearing completion. He will soon be ready for business. .» —I. B. Vaughan Esq., who has been very low with nervous prostration, we are glad to say, is slowly recovering, thanks to a successful physician; and with the good care which he has received we hope to soon' ~e him at his post again. —Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Bruce have re- turned from Vermont where they have been visiting relatives and friends. —Our snow storm has abated but there are more to follow. OIJR BOOK TABLE. -Tne New York edition of the B. & O. Bed Book is out, and a very cleverly compiled little volume it is. The scope of state In- formation la somewhat larger than hereto- fore essayed in tbe Bed Book series, and to at- tempt an enumeration of tlie contents in full would require considerable space. Sufflee it to say that the publication Is worth far more than the stamp and the trouble of forwarding of one's address to C K. Lord, Baltimore, the requisite for receiving a copy. LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE. RAND UIJLL.. —Thomas Phair did a fine job over- hauling his residence, and with Smith Fordham, the veteran carpenter, has made himself a fine house. N. W. Robinson is also building and making improvements about his house. —Leonard Banger, of this place, had his right hand so badly mangled in a thresh- ing machine recently, while working for Owen Moore, at Point Au Boche, that it became neoessary to amputate the fore- finger at the second joint.

Phelps last week Thursday evening, captured four wild geese. . —Mr. Davis has commenced to gather turkeys. He intends to feed four or five hundred.

Joel Martin will be absent, from his pulblt nex»i Sabbath, on aooount of whioh there will be no preaching servioe at his ohufoh. He will spend a few days at Albany and elsewhere.

How can I write the words while yet I feel the clinging clasp of the poor wandering lingers that only rented when held by tender hands during his last painful illness. As & child, Eddie gave promise of a noble manhood, and In school was universally beloved by teacher and school mates, always quiet and unobtrusive. His friends weie numberless. Having acquired education readily, he was eatly fitted to nil a responsible position in ! his employers, Hon. N. Lapham & Son's store, I and at the age of fifteen, when his father, from i failing eyesight, was no longer able to provide ' for the family, consisting of fattier, mother aim young sister, he took up tne burden and has man- fully carried it for five weary years, never seem- ing to tire of his task, and always denying him- self for others. For tbe past year he hasheld a responsible position as book-keeper, and when all were away the keys of both store and safe (for which he anxiously searched daring his derange- ment) were always entrusted to his care; and to the last the poor llpe would whisper, \give good weight, boysT\ May God grant that in the home beyond, his cup of happiness may be filled, and that tbe dear ones who were so dependent on him and are now left desolate, may always have good —T*»t and measure meted out to them. For tho r __, four months all had noticed his failing health, and everything that mends could suggest had been resorted to, but to no avail, and the last sixteen days were noticeable, first, by a pain- ful sickness ot ten days; after, by a typhoid turn which resulted in death on be morning of the seventh day. On the afternoon or Oct. 8th he was carried away to his last resting place, in the cemetery at Peru. A large concourse of friends attsnded the funeral at the house. The casket was completely enveloped in floral emblems, of- ferings of loving friends, and carried away by his former associates, Charles S. Church, Walter Lapham, Ira Dobbe, Elijah Stave, Geo. Ferris and Addison Ferris. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Bradford, assisted by Rov. Mr. Sargent, who hod been kindly thoughtful of his soul's wel- fare during btB illness. The sweet selections sung by Mrs. Harrington and his former school mates touched alt hearts, and reminded us that though he is gone he yet lives to welcome us. MABI. PLATTSBrjRGH,N, Y. ....O i : O • . O iO: i 10 •; O Everybody -who engages in business does so with the view to make money. When several persons are engaged in the same trade, and under the same circumstances, the one whose transactions are the largest and conspicuously effective', but especially who can buy for cash at the lowest prices, will not only make the most money, but will also secure the largest percentage of intelligent and industrious customers. To do business you must deal in what people want; next you must let every possible customer know, that you are so prepared.

If yon have a good thing you want to let people know it. No- body in business ought, to hide his light under a bushel, no matter with what oil it burns. The best way to give satisfactory information to those intending to purchase is in the columns of a good newspaper, being very earefuhnot to say icTiat you cannot perform. A well-worded advertisement gives a certain dignity to the goods adver- tised. It confers a kind of value it never before possessed. It makes the artiole con- spicuous, places it on record, brings it be- fore the public and creates for it a status in the community. People know that it exists, that it is for sale, and that it is considered worth advertising. All that any honest, legitimate concern requires, is fair judg- ment, close industry, fair prices, and to do better by customers than others in the same business—and, then give it publicity. In ihi* age of close competition, when every branoh of business is crowded to its utmost capaoity, the merchant must not only fill his store with wares calculated to please his customers, both in quality and price, but he must announce his bargains and in- ducements clearly to the community from • whom he expects his trade. We feel that we are warranted in making ourselves beard, for we are thoroughly prepared to meet the wants or the pttblio, and give satisfaction to eaoh and every patron, WHOLESALE as well as BETAIL. We are ready to sup- ply you with the best of everything in our line, and at prices which competition can- not surpass, and so far never could equal. We make this assertion in all earnestness— and shall be pleased to have you call, as we feel sure that we can make an inspec- tion of our stock pleasant, instructive and profitable.
