1876
Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the
Centennial year. It is also the year in which
an Opposition House of Keprt sentatives.lhe
first since tlie war, will lie in power at
YY ashingtou ; and the year of the twenty
third election of a President of the United
.Stales All of these events are sure to lie of
great interest and importance, especially
the latter; and all of them and everything
connected witli them will be fully and fresh
ly reported in Tiik Si;n.
* Tlie Opposition House of Representatives,
taking up tlie line of inquiry opened years
ago by Tiik Sex. will sternly and diligently
investigate the corruptions and misdeeds of
Grant's administration ; and will, it is to lie
hoped, lay the foundation for a new and
better period in our national history. Of all
this Tiik Sun will contain complete and
accurate accounts, furnishing its readers
with early anil trustworthy iuformatiou
upon these absorbing topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election,
with the preparations for it, will be memo
rable as deciding upon Grant's aspirations
for a third term of power and plunder, and
still more as deciding who shall lie the
I candidate of the put ty of Reform, and as
; electing that candidate. Concerning all these
1 subjects, those who read Tiik Sirs Will have
| tin-constant means ot being thoroughly well
i iiifnrtiit-d.
The YY'kkki.t Sfx, which has attained a
j r i r ,-ulatiou of over eighty thousand copies
| already has its reader* iu every State and
! Territory, and we trust that the year 1876
j will see their numbers doubled. It will eon
j t j nut . to lie a thorough newspaper. All the
; general news of the day will be found in it,
j condensed when unimportant, at full when
of moment ; and alway*, we trust, treated
iu a clear, interesting anil instructive man
ner.
It is our aim to make the YY'kkki.y Si n
the best, family newspaper in the world, and
we shall continue to give in its columns a
large amount of miscellaneous reading, such
as stories, tales,poems, scientific intelligence
anil agricultural information, for which we
are nut able to make room in our daily cili
tion. The agricultural department especially
is one ot itsprmninont features. The*fasliions
an- also regularly reported in it* column* ;
anil so are the markets of every kind.
The YY'kkki.t Sun. eight pages with fifty
six broad columns is only tfl.ltO a year,
postage prepaid. As this price barely repays
the cost of the paper, no discount can is
made from this rate to clubs, agent*, Post

Sweet Haven.
It is seldom that we flud any
thing iu the Northern religions
press as juicy as the extract be
low, scissored from a New York
paper, the most influential, as we
should judge, of those published
in the interest of thedeuoiniuation
of which the President is said to
be a member. The item forms a
part ol a letter Yvritten from New
Orleans by Bishop (sic) Haven,
the great American third term
nominator, giving some account
of his recent trip South, and of
his adY'eut in our city where lie
was debarked at a "shanty called
a depot," thereafter "soon spied
out by General Bussy," and car
ried off to coffee and cakes, and
then—but we must let the brother
who, it is reported, once sat up
all night in barroom rather than
sleep in tlie same bed with a col
oled preacher, speak for himself.
Enter Haven, solas —"Well,alas
and alack-a-day !'' Goodness gra
cious, how 'we uns' do spread.
Emperor Williams, and Dibble,
and Burch, and Hartzell, and
Dunn, and Bishop Brown, and
that thoroughly reconstructed
gentleman and soldier, General
Longstrect! Next !
The first night, before we were
fairly rested, we were called \o
fine entertainment given by the
piesidiug elder of the city district,
to the ministers of the conferenocj
then came a great dinner, called
modestly a lunch, from theestiin^,
ble pa-tor of the First Germa^i
Church, Brother Allenger, and a
dinner equally bountiful from the
President of our University ; then
a like feast from our dear Brother
Emperor Williams, Yvhose wife's
achievements in tlie culinary art
have been previously commended
iu these columns ; then au elabo
rate and stately "spread" from
the pastor of Wesley Chapel; then
a pet feet and petite feast at Judge
Dibble's, where tine art, flue
grounds, aud flue culture corobiue
to make a very attractive borne j
then a still statelier least at Sena
tor Burch's, whose wife,the widow
of the late Lieut. Gov. Duun,
graced the boards iu her choice
mansion, the gift of her former
husband's friends, aud where Bislt
op Brown and other celebrities of
bis aud our Church made the feast
fraternal aud almost suggestive
of organic uuion. There was uuioi)
in the gustatory and vital organs
as to the richness of the entertain
ment. Then came an evening and
a dinner at the residence of the
leading German of tlie city, whose
generosity and hospitality are
alike of high repute iu that city.
Ex Mayor Heath, a member of onf
Church, added his tavors ill a like
excellent manner. Brother Hart
zell closed, as he liegttn, the festi
vities witli asoireeat his residence
attended by many representative
ladies and gentlemen, among
whom was that thoroughly recon
structed gentleman aud soldier,
General Longstrect.
Oysters Scalloped in thr
Shell.—O pen tlie shells, setting
aside for a»e the deepest ones.
Have ready some melted butter,
not hot, seasoned with minced
paisley and pepper. Roll each
oyster iu this, letting it drip as
little us may be, and lay in tlie
shell, which should be arranged
iu a baking pan* Add to each a
little lemon juice, sift bread
crumbs all over it, aud bake in a

—It is stated that a Fort Plains
young lady recct\*ed the following
