Democratic Meeting.

The Democracy held meeting on Monday eve
ming last. in front of the - Magnolia" The Hon.
j. W. McCorkel. Judge McMurtry and a. c. Brad
ford, nominee for Presidential Elector arrived in
town early in The afternoon on Monday.
The meeting was very respectable one, al
though no notice had been given of the intention
of those gentlemen to speak on that evening.
A stand neatly fitted up with the names of Bu-
chanan and Breckenridge, and Union mottos
decorated the forum. On each side of the speak
ers the Stars and Stripes slumbcrcd in peaceful
folds, while high in the rear, on the balcony of
the " Magnolia" sat the Brass Band, pouring out
those Natioual strains on the heads of those as
scmblcd The number in attendance was varl-
ously estimated at from 800 to $50 persons.
Mr. Bradford was introduced to the meeting by
W. S. Smart, Esq. and spoke about two hours and
a half The most Of his speech was devoted to
the Republican party-lashing to the right and
left. and sparing nothing that showed a semblance
of opposition. He argued the principles of the
Nebraska Bill from its enacting clause to its final
section, and then taking up the Pacific Railroad
Bill, contended strongly from the record that the
Democratic party had done ali that had been
done in Congress for the advancement of thai
great measure. He remarked that the claims o
the Fremont party in favor Of Railroad was a
hollow as the shells on the sea shore that it wa
by the action of that party in the lower House o
Congress that that bill was laid over. He closet
his speech by an anccdote. calling upon th'
Wings to stand by National principles, as the!
had done in times past Mr. Bradford rs gooC
speaker At the close Of his speech the Band play
ed a National air
Judge McAIurtry was next introduced, and com
menced his speech by telling a bold and stt an
ecdote, yway OF defining his position in the Deln
ocratic party. The Judge spoke about half al
hour. We regret to say that there was some yer.
imprudent Interruptions during his speech. Thi
kind of conduct is very disreputable, no matte
from what source it comes. When Gov. Foot
spoke, the largest audience ever assembled il
Trinity County was present and the best orde
was maintained throughout the evening. No mari
of disrespcct--no sound of interruption disturb
ed the proceedings Let us hope that another in
stance of this kind may never happen again a
any political meeting III WeuNcr,iile.
Hon Judge McCorkel was quite indisposcd an
consequently unable to speak on the occasion
much to the regret of his friends and those VIII
had come to hear him.
Mr.. Smart proposed three cheers for Buchana
and breckenridge, which were given. The meet
inc then adjourned.

for some time past by the former, somewhat

are at once discredited, of course.

FRUIT TREES KlLLED-We are informed
by Mr.. A. G.. Desellem, that all the fruit
trees in the neghborhood of Port Homer,
have been killed by the frost. OF twelve
hundred choice apple trees Mr. Daselem has
lost at least eight hundred; and the fine Or
chard of w. f. Wallace, adjoining, is in
much the same condition. The pear trees OF
Mr.. D. were also killed. The same fate has
also overtaken the fruit trees on the Virginia
side of the river. The young trees are not
so badly damaged as the older ones.-[ [Steu-
benville Herald.
More ABOUT THE FRUIT-The Peoria Re-
publican of Saturday evening states that at
the lowest calculation one-third and many
think one half, of the fruit trees in that sec
ton Of the country have been killed by the
severe cold of the past winter. Many of the
f most valuable varieties Of the appletree have
!, been ruined, including some that were pre-
viously supposed to be particularly hardy.
Peach trees are generally killed, and other
fruit suffers immensely. This state of things
will render fruit unusually dear the ensuing
season.

this one nights storm seventeen shepherds
lost their lives, and thousands of sheep, be-

epicnre.
About one hundred barrels have already
been shipped from this place, and the cry is
still they come. Last year, in thirty three
days from the first of April, there were ship
ped from this market tlgo thousand .fUe hun
dred dollars worth of eggs alone. This year
it will not be behind that figure. Can any of
our neighbors compete with us in this line ?
