The Germans and GEN. ID

The Germans and Gen. Dodge.
The long article i'll the Gazette with
the above caption speaks as if General
Dodge had pre- emp,lon right TO all
the German votes in The county. We
would like TO know what he has ever
done 10 favor the Germans more than
any other man. Can he, like Mr.
Lowe, poin, TO a German family who
came TO him in great distress, when Mr.
Lowe wi,hou, hesitation relieved that
distress aud placed that family in cir
cums,ances Of ease and comfort, We
believe Mr. Dodge might do such a
thing If called upon, bn! we have never
heard Of his granting any such lavors
TO the Germans. Mr. Lowe is as good
friend 10 the Germans as Mr. Dodge,
and he has always shown himself such;
and we know if he receives their votes
their friendship for him will moi be mis-
placed.

The gentleman who made the speech from which
the table sbovo was taken, proceeds 10 his conclu-
sion thus "Here is lot Of articles Of the iron
manuiacsure, which shows, most conclusively, that
the duty, BY producing domestic eompstitiOn has re-
duoed the price more than one-half."
Il would appear, from the fact that the prices Of
the articles given by the learned and astute gentle
man, stated in shngs and pence, that the table
was made up from some English price-currcnt.
And the inference must be, that the American tariff
had, by producing domestic compsiiiion in England,
thus reduced the prices in that country--an infer
ence loo absurd even for the advocates Of the absurd
theory against which | am contending to believe;
ularly when il il recollccied that the annual
manufacture Of hardware, according to McCuloch,
amounts to fl7,5OO,000, or $4,000. 900; Of which
this country takes but about s., 500 600 annually
But will assume that the profoundly learned
gentleman to whom allade, intends to be under
stood that "the duty, by producing domestic compc
,on," has reduced the prices Of the articles in this
country more than one-half between the years 1916
and 1882; and will then proceed to show that the
same, or articles Of like description, have fallen in
the same ratio in England; in short, that since 1916
there has been general reduction Of prices The
iphoie ,rorid.

tain articles of hardware in England

PArRicK's coLr,--A gentleman who favors us
with some "reminiscences respecting the early settle
ment Of this place-formcrly old Derryfeld-relates
the following anecdote
"When my grandfather resided at GoRstown
and Deny6eld, then settled by the Irish, he hired
wild sort Of an lrishman TO work on his farm.
One day, soon after his arrival he told him 10 take
bride and 60 out in the field and catch the black
colt. Don't come home without him. said the old
gentleman. Patrick started and was gone some
time, but at last returned minus the bride, with
his face and haads badly scratched, as though he
had received rough treatment. why Patrick, what
is the matter--whnt in the name OF wonder ails
your AN faith, isn't it me- yer honor, that never'
catch the ould black coult again bad luck to him
An didn't he all but scratch me eyes out o. me
head An faith, as true as me souls me own, I
had to climb upa tree afher the coult!' Climb
a tree after him ! Nonsense Where 10 the beast !
AN it's tied to the three he s to he sure yer hon.
orr We all followed Patrick to the spot TO get
solution Of the difficulty, and, reaching the field,
we found, to our no small amusement, that he had
been chasing young black bear, which he had suc-
ceeded in catching after great deal of rough usage
on both sides, and actually tied it with the bride
TO an old tree. Bruin was kept for long while,
and was ever after known as 'Pa,rick's colt y -
