EIGHTH MISUNDERSTANDING the inclemency
| Of the weather on Tuesday night, there was such
strong turnout in this ward that above one hundred
footsteps without depositing their ballots. In such
state Of things the polling place might be expected
| TO be crammed the next morning, especially as the
sun shone upon the wing cause, while at the same
time it acted incentive to the indsmntables,
| indefatigables, roarers, i'd est genus Long
before sun rise strong parties of those well drilled
corps at their post ready to take possession and
renew the battle.
The challenging system was resorted to and every
effort made delay the votes which the forms Of the
new law are capable of.
One OF the thinnest and lankest specimens of hu-
manity we ever saw, presented himself to vote and
challenged The poor fellew looked unuttera.
Bile things, and for some time stood il he was
struck dumb with either fear amazement.

As poor Pilgarlick Podrodden emerged from the
crowd, he accosted by important looking per-
sonage, habted in Boston wrapper, which reached
almost to his feet, pair Of specs on, and q visage
that bespokea very large Development Of the bump
Of self-esteem.

5. Yes IL is what OF the classics would term

And with that, Pilgarlic and his classical friend
went to the bar room and guped down a strong horn
Of liquor piece, which poor Pill had TO fork out the
mopusses for.
NINTH WARp.-A tremendous crowd OF veters
made their appearance at this focus Of indomitabes
A great many were challenged, but whether from
better management or the not putting many fu-
tile questions at some other places, we could not
learn but il was evident they got through the BUSH
ness much faster than at most OF the other wards
In the Erst hour, the number Of ballots amounted
to IT,
A queer little old fellow with very large umbrel-
Ia announced himself As Walter Waggletaii.

ward, bat no ground was gained by the wings They
got out q flag with this splendid couplet;-
"Ereemen, turs aud frown
This locofoco ssb-treasury down."
