great excitement, a paper contfadicting
what He had formerly stated 7 heard
DR.. Thompson ask him if he would still
stick to the assertion he had made, that in
fluential Wings had told him that this K.
N. party was only gotten up to benefit the
Wing party; and Mr.. Lanham answered
that Dt. Thompson, himself, had talked
that way. And ! have since heard Mr..
Lanham declare that he did not know what
was in the paper he signed for DR.. Thomp'

The Parkersburg Gazette says that Fleet
W. Smith, the Nothing candidate
for the. Senate in the Mason district, is
"wide-awake." Singular announcement
that. We are credibly informed that Mr..
Smith has been rising from his bed regu.
larly at 10 O'Clock every day for the past
six months. Whether he continues in a
stateof somnambulancy after hegets up. we
are unable to say; but imagine from the
