M0ntour County.

splendid Band, furnished by their own
libcrality, and all looked with manly pride
upon their banner, "lNontow County,"
which then floated for the first time be-
yond her borders.
In forming their first County Ticket,
her people exhibited a magnanimity and
friendship truly worthy Of admiration.
Each party met in Convention, and after
an interchange of views made up one tick
ct, divided in nearly equal numbers (the
Democrats, being in the majority, having
the first choice, } which each party supports
IN full. The following are the names of
the nominees
For Sheriff. Danl Frazer, Of Mahoning; Pro-
thonotary, VIM Davis, Of Limestone; Res d
Recorder, VIM T. Johnston, of Madison Treas
urer. Geo Mears Jr Of Roaring Greek Commis-
sioners. Saml Yorks Jr Of Mahoning, Jas Nina
hon Of Liberty, and SamI Shick OF Franklin
Dep. Pros. Airy, Benn. X Rhodes, Of Danvie {;
Surveyor, Thos Galbrath. of Limestone Au-
di,ors. Philip Maus of Valley, James e Sproul
and Robert Patterson. Of Derry; Coroner, David
Yeager, of Roaring Creek.
Our young friend G.lLBRAIrH has ma
ny congratulations in this quarter, and we
hope may prove worthy of the confidence
and good will manifested.
And here we must regret that the 80
years war between Bloom and Danville,
i threatens to be revived Columbia coun-
ty has nominated John M'Reynolds, Esq,
of Buckhorn, as Repeal candidate for
Legislature, and Charles b. Bowman, Of
Berwick, is volunteer candidate, oppos-
ed to the repeal. 1t does not seem rea-
sonable that two counties which have be-
come legally organized, can ever be
brought together by force, if either coun-
ty is opposed but if one county is anx-
ious she may produce much contention,
strife. and more cost to the State, annual
| ", than all her taxes are worth. One
would suppose that Bloom would be glad
to be rid of such troublesome neighbor
"a D,nvillc has been but her temper
appears to have been SO soulel by the
long qrlarrels, that she seems determined
she will keep her attached, for the love of
fighting her Eor the peace of the people
and :he interests of the State, We do hope
the sober, thinking voters of the two coun-
ties will suppress this Repeal agitation at
the outset or if it carry at the polls, that
an enlightened Legislature will not suffer
it to annoy them. When divorce is OBJ
tanned, legally, compulsory intercourse is
not profitable to either party ; nor Is it
any use to oppose Il match after marriage
is consummatcd. Good people Of Column
bia reflect little upen this matter; let
by-goncs be by-gones; bury the hatchet !;
and look with pride aud in peace upon
your promising daughter, Nontour, marri-
ed to that independent, indomitablc, rich
neichbor D,,nriWc.

CLAssIcAL.-Our joyous neighbor of
the Times, in the "third heavens cpl
thalanium of his last hebdomadary, intro
duces the annexed " burst on the credit
of "the great bard :"
Now is the winter Of discomfort
Made glorious summer by this son Of Iorics,
! And in the deep bosom of the ocean buried"
The question arises, Who or what was bu-
ried thus-the winter" discomfort" >"
summer" or " Yorick ?" One of our
crammarians assures us that by the
rules it must be " Yorck" that's "gone
down below to make room for Gamble
We hope it is not so, but if it be, "Alas !.
poor Yorick"'

! THE STATE BRIDGE, ut Duncan's Is
land was burned by an incendiary on last
Thursday morning a>week. The cost of
the entire work, was about sl00, 900 /; that
of the superstructure consumed, about
s40.0 900 The business has not been in
terrupted by the casualty. 1t was doubt
less the work of an incendiary, and public
opinion seems to indicate that the bridge
should remain unbuilt.

in the business, that the water has been
let into the n b. Canal, and that boats
are now running.
