"Nine cheers for old Zm!"
.Huz1a huzza huzza ~
"Gentlemen," said old Zim, taking of his hat
-sl'm obliged to you for this expression Of your
that is to say, let us Take horn all soand"
OF course the crowd acquiesced in this PROPOSE
ton, and the wekin rang with loud huzzas. But
bark scarcely had the eager crowd inblbed be-
fore another horseman eeme gailoping up to the
inn.
"Beegum township one hundred majority for
Zimmerman
'sNine cheers for old Zim!o
Hip, nip. hurrah ~
Again did old Zim attempt to speak, but his
feelings overcame him---and he ended by inviting
the company to just call for what they wanted
Again the glasses jinged as the excited multitude
| wedged themselves towards the bar-and again
was heard the clater of horses hoofs.
! "Dnhiifa .swnship one hundred and thigsy ma
! jority fer Zimmerman !"
| ''Nine cheers for old Zim!"
ssIip hip, hurra |"
| The excited candidate was wild with joy and
excitement, and he again invited the party up 10
drink
| Another horseman came-another, and still an
other each one bringing an overwhelming ma
jority for old Zim from the township he represent
ed. Alas! that it should be the same horse, who
performed the feat of quarter race every hour
that night, and that it should be the sane mad
wag under various DISCUSSES that brought old Zim,
the glorious news. The column as footed up,
gave Zm cool thousand majority. Didn't he
rave and pitch ? Well, he did Didn't he
spend cool thirty? The landlords till groan-
ed under the weight of old Zin's deposits
Gentlemen" said old Zim my heart is full

say that the glory of this contest belongs 10 you

completely 'ssowed up" were laid cut. and the
remainder found their way home--some charitable
friend of the Sheriff elect toing him OH SHUTTER

Early in the morning. the village wags, with
throbbing temples, met at the tavern to take ''a
hair from the dog that bit thefn," as we'll as to
laugh over the ''saw" played on old Tim; but
scarcely had they commenced worship before in
stalks the old gentleman, still under the delusion
that he had carried the day-nay more, he insist
ed upon spending V by way of morning whet
The ways were determined to keep it up as long
as possible, and again drank and congratulated
him on his success. In the midst of the noise and
confusion in bounded an inky printers devil who
deposited an extra on the table, containing the
returns. Eagerly did old zim seize it, and hover
over it but minute. The conclusion of it is all
sufficient for the reader. 1t read as follows
by the above it will be seen that Democracy
has again triumphed, as Wattles' (Dem.) MAORI

Zimmerman volunteer had three votes in Begun,
two 10 Dublin, one in Lower Buffalo, and one
