For the Gate City,


MEssRs. EDloRs Il attended the Cattarau-
gus meeting last Friday night, at Burrows
Hall, with the express understanding that we
should nominate a candidate for Mayor who
was in favor of establishing business grades
throughout the city, and especially opposed
to Col. Curtis plan Of city Improvement.
But to my surprise / found when our Catta-
raugus man was put forward that he was
prefaced, and very honest man snid he
would pledge his honor as a man that the
candidate should occupy the same ground,
and be in favor of the same plan, that Col.
Curtis advocated.
Now, protest against this kind of chilean
cry. / expected to nominate man that was
opposed on the subject of grade to Col. Cur
tis.
If Mr.. Newton does not disagree with the
Col. on grade and city improvements, in what
does the difference consist? As the two
candidates now stand can see no difference
in their platforms, and consequently think it
is unnecessary that we run two men for May
or without some ground of distinction be-
tween them. At present | see none in the
nom nees except that probably one candidate
isjthe more competent of the two TO fill the
office.

the silver, he gathered up the reins, and put
the square package in the stage box. Just
as he started the horses, he leaned his head
out Of the stage, and looking back to the
man who gave him the bundle. shouted out
the question, "Ter fird haus on ter left hand
out of Yeriko ?''
The man didn't hear him, but the driver
was satisfied. On we went ut very good
rate, considering how heavy the roads were.
Another tavern, more watering, more apple
jack. Another long stretch of sand, and we
neared Jericho.
"Ayny porty know ter Miss Scutter haus %
asked the driver, bracing his feet on the mail
bag which lay in front of him, and screwing
his head round so as to face in. There seem

stage.

the same way.
''Ihere was old Squire Cows da'ter, she
married q Scudder, and moved up here some
two years back. Come to think ont, guess
she lives higher the Glasshouse," answered
Lishe.
The driver, finding he could get no light
out OF the passengers, seeing tall raw boned
woman washing some clothes in front OF
house, and who few out of sight as the stage
flew in, handed me the rens rs he jumped
from his seat, and chased the fugitive hal
iooing, 'Pfe got der small pox, FIFE got der

into the open door of the house. But in n
minute he e-appeared, followed by a broom
with an enraged woman annexed, and loud

passenger, on the back seat, not having the
fear of murdered fish on his hands, coax
ed the Dutch driver into along conversation,
much TO the delight Of very pretty JERSEY
blue-belle, who laughed so merrily that it
was contagious, and in very few minutes.
from being like unto a conventicle, we were as
wide awake as one of Christy's audiences.
BY sunrise we were in excellent spirits. IN
to all sorts Of fun, and when, little later.

group of treaters to the distilled Juice of
