A HUNKER FALsEHooD.-Our Wing friends are
sadly troubled about the secret ballot They know it
is calculated to put end to the dominion of money
over the minds of honest men, and that they cannot,
hereafter, control mans vote by threats take from
him the employment by which he his bread, and
SO they must resort to misrepresentation and alsehood
IN their attempts to make the law odious to the people.
For instance, the Worcester Transcript Saturday,
starts the story that dgtean thousand dollars be
paid for the envelopes supplied under the first contract
and whnes piteously the alsehood as il it were
true and talks about rihiug the treasury for very fool
ish purposes" We are authorized to state that in
everything, but the number of envelopes ordered the
statement in the Transcript is gross exaggeratiou
that the supply ordered is calculated for two or more
years, and that they contracted for with genuine
Hunker-Webster Wing, for the of eighteen h,drec
instead of eighteen thousand dollars. So much fo
Hunker veracy.

thus morning. having made the passage from Liverpool

one OF his Storage pas 'cngers. He Immediately had
the stern boat, banging from the davs, made perfectly
secure and comfortable, removed the into it, erect

A SINGULAR FEAT.-The widow of farmer
in Ludlow, had six chickens who filled their crops
with corn till they could no longer swallow. With
pair of dull scissors she opened the crops of three
OF them, and after scraping them out with small
chip, sewed them up again She then opened and
cleaned the crops of the remaining three, and was
about sewing them together, when she accidentally
discovered some remaining kernels of corn. This
led her to suppose she might not have been suifi-
ciently thorough with the first three, and they were
second time opened and examined, and again sew :

BILE, the truth that God has put difference between
men and brues and that any institution which disre-
the Almighty. Everybody, said Mr.. p, will admit
the wrong of treating mere animals as responsible
beings. How would every right-minded person, for
example, he shocked at the administration of reli-
glous rites to a company of dogs! TO impress this
idea upon his hearers with the greater force he sup
posed the case of clergymen gravely going through
the ceremony of taking dogs into the Church; 81

disgust which the very thought of such scene ex-
cited, he asked the audience if they ought not TO be
even more shocked at seeing men, created by God
little lower than the angels degraded to the con-
dition of mere brutes. Such, we are told, was the
line of his argument, such the object of the usra-

an extremely ridiculous and preposterous story. A
good cause requires It's supporters to resort to
