No marriage or deaths to record. Peace
and quiet reigns in Plymouth. The last
few DAYS have been remarkably pleasant,
considering he coldness Of the weather fol
months past. The Cars make regular trips
on our Rail Roads, without accident. Dry
Goods merchants are selling their stock Of
Spring Goods. Clothing men are ready
and willing to fit cut customers with sum
mer suits, at ''most nothing" Grocery
men are dealing out ''cold ice lemonade;'
while .most Potent. Ora e, and Reverend
Senior" sits in his sanctum sancteruD,, de
vising ways and means by which to I'M
oyine some outrage in the way fan Off
cial record being altered without the least
shadow of authority, or at least Gin the
most sly and superstitious manner. =

ves.igation of these dastardly outrages !"
Whewl An investiga ion Of these things
must be made Immediately, or the Grare
Senior will burst and boil over like q ket-
lie of hot soap-suds. Gentlemen /! you
must not do business in the .'sly and So

at his mast headl Oh! for shame!
The war that the Grave Senior has been
trying to keep up with us, since the first
day he penned an article for his paper, has
been Disgusting to allwho have read his..silly
personalities. Why he keeps longing at
us, is more than we ara able to see, unless
he expects to immortalize himself, and ex-
terminate u.s. If the latter he might as
well give it up, for that he can neuer do.
If the former, he has gone far enough
He has already gained reputation that
will last him, probably, as long az he will
remain on this mundane sphere. In the
first number of the Republican printed here
we find the following. which we copy to
show our readers the reckless manner in
which he commenced his editorial career:
Citizens of Marshall County, be upon
your guard against lying Circulars
emanating from that head quarters of in
EQUITY, the Marshall County Democrat
office" Now how does that paragraph look
emanating as it did from man who. prob
ably, had never seen the editor of the Dem
ocrat. But when we look into his paper,
every week, and find articles about as re-
spectful as the above extract, we wonder
not at the courteous manner in which he
made his debut, as the editor of the Re-
publican.
In the last Republican, the Grave Senior
pitches on to us like ga pound of feathers
In a high wind" He quotes an article Of
ours in reference to the select School, and
imagines that we were personal in it, and
goes on t. say that ''they were not ex-
pecting, we presume, to receive such a
.taatering notice from tie gentleman and
scholar who presides over the local Depart
ment of the Marshall County Democrat
with SO much credit to himself, and salts
faction to its readers
Why does the Grave Senior imagine G.
Whillikins as personal? If that is the
trouble, why G. Watkins it is. The
"Gentleman and Scholar" tina. the Grave
Senior mentions, will take care of himself,
and if the Potent Editor thinks to influence
as through some of his political friends
to take back or apologize for anything we
have written, he is orfully sucked an. A:
for the satisfaction we give our readers il
presiding over the local department OF th'
Democrat, we don't know that that is ;
matter that concerns the Grave Senior
There has been bus one man said anything
to us derogatory of our course as local ed
itor, and as persons who imagine that they
have been personated through the columns
of newspaper are not backward about
making it manifest, we conclude that we
have pleased all our readers, with that one
exception. If we should need the advice
of an older head than ouIs land no doub
