the place of the late G. C. .Cloutman, upon
the Locofoco ticket.
1t was urged against the present worthy
Treasurer aud Recorder, when his name
was first mentioned in connection with the
Office, that he was an abolitionist and from
Yellow Springs township! The two ale
cations, neither of which was strictly true,
in regard to Mr.. Chapman, were supposed
at the time they were made, to be very
detrimental to his character, and very
much against his chances of success But
as Mr. Chapman proved very popular
candidate, our locofoco neighbors have, as
usual, determined to learn by it, and have
found an abolitionist, in Yellow Springs
township, so anxious to run for Office as to
be willing to run on an old fogy Nebraska
ticket.

On the night Of the 22d of June, having
encamped on the bank of creek in mar
row valley, about II o'clock they were
alarmed by the approach of an immense
herd of Buffalo, causing the earth to trem-
BILE beneath their tread, as they came dash
ing down the valley at full speed. The
camp CHANGED to be directly in the path
through which this army Of shaggy quad
rupeds were making their rapid march,
and it was with extreme difficuity-by the
discharging ofriles and reyolvers in quick
succession-that our travellers succeeded in
turning them from direct course. thus sa-
wing their own lives and the lives of their
horses. They succeeded in shooting sever
al as they passed among which was fine,
fat yearling, some choice outlets of which
served them as food on their journey.
Some idea may be formed of the number
ofbuffalo in this vast herd, from the fact
that though running atfull speed, they were
at least an hour in passing the camp.

A Serious Complaint.

A citizen of this city, is most egregious-
ly blackguarded in the last Gazette, for
writing series Of articles published in
this paper, on the ground that said gen
tleman had been munifcently supplied with
one bottle Of claret, to say nothing of sun
dry jiggers, by the county Judge, at the
County Grocery, and it Was nothing less
than base ingratitude, afterward to ridi-
cule this institution. a1sssse
In the first place the gentleman did not
write the articles referred to, and neversaw
or heard Of the one charging the Judge
with giving away liquor, until it appeared
in print. Thus the charge of bad faith on
his part is false. Heis however, abundant
ly able to defend himselfagainst the attacks
of such graceless vagabonds if he thinks
such small game will pay r.
In the second place the distribution of
the county liquors, by the County Judge,
makes no debt of gratitude, between the
recipient and the Judge. Citizens and
tax payers are not to be bribed with IL
quors bong ht with their own money, and
given away in direct violation Of the letter
and spirit Of the prohibitory law
} Therefore, instead of bottle, if the
Judge had given the gentleman a barrel,
there would have been no breach of con-
fdence, had he written down the Grocery
as caricature and burlcsque upon the
law andiupon temperance, as it really is?

BURLINGTON, July 24th 1855.
NURSERIES person, Under date Of
Fairfield, July Is, writing to the Democratic
Press, at Chicago, complains very feelingly
of the lack Of nurseries in this State and the
impossibility of procuring good grated fruit
trees, for setting.
! If this gentleman is the one we take him to
be, he surely ought to be aware that, in the
vicinity of Burlington are larger nurseries
and more engrafted fruit trees for sale of
propersize for transplanting, than can be
found at Chicago, or any other Western city.
But few days ago, we printed at this of.
fee the circular of single Nursery compa-
ny, Avery, Comstock e. Co, who offered for
sale of five years growth, ten thousand trees
of one variety Of apple! a4t
The gentleman who thus writes from Fair
field will please bear in mind that in Nurse
ries Burlington bears the palm against the
West-that choice engrafted fruit trees are
shipped from here fin all directions and in
large numbers, not to omit a goodly number
wagoned even to Fairfield. mi. a.,- @
