PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION BETS.—A merchant
in Portland has paid a singular. election bet. He peddled
40 bushels of charcoal about the city, was dressed like a
charcoal man, and had the honour of being photographed
in his bizarre costume. A similar folly comes off in Mont.
gomery County, Ohio, where a Douglas Democrat, a Mr.
Black, is to wheel a barrel of flour from Miamisburg to
Carrolton. The regimental band and a martial band are
engaged to attend, and a large crowd will line the road for
three miles which Mr. Black has to travel.
