quite a number of ladies present, who. as they
looked upon the scene, turned from il with q

car, and brought it ashore. The name of Joseph

A YOUNG GIRL SEEKS HOME WITH
THE BERLIN HEIGHrs FREE LOVERS
Miss Sarah A. Walker, whose father is
q respectable and wealthy merchant in
Cayuga, N. Y, ran away from home a
few weeks ago, and went among the
people known as Free Lovers, at Ber-
lin Heights. She sought home with
them. There she desired to live and
die. The had read their origin, The
Good Time Coming, and the Agitotor
of this city, and thought Berlin must
be delightful place, entirely free from
the selishness and cold heartedness
which mark and clog the outer world.
Perhaps she thought her affinity" " IS
there, though Of this we do not hear.
She was disappointed. A few dozen
seedy and long haired men and like
number Of scraegy women in trousers
and short dresses constituted the chief
attractions of the place. She left and
came to this city, where she has friends.
Yesterday her father arrived, and will
take her home, where we trust she will
stay until some worthy and sensible
young man comes along and pops the
question. She is about seventeen
years old, quite pretty, and of superior
education. She said the people at
Berlin treated her kindly aud made no
objection to her leaving. - Cleveland

and united Democracy. 1t now re-
mains to see wha3 effort will DC put
forth in our county-thc county OF
Scott, to secure its election. 1t is the
duty Of the caudidates-the duty of
the democracy of the county to attend
very strictly to Scott county politics
and none other-at least until after
the election. What other portions Of
the State are coming to, We can Meth
er help nor hinder, but we can, by
putting forth extraordinary exertions
~ Q party, aided by our strong and
popular ticket, anl the inst cause IN
which We are laboring redeem this
county from the hands Of the opposi-
ton.
The party has not been sleeping or
idle by any manner OF means for some
time past, but it is now time that its
individual and collective power be
brought to bear. The disaffection and
wrangling which has taken place in the
Republican ranks--ifit does not help us,
will have tendency to weaken them
but We would not have the democ-
racy ofScott county count upon this at
all. In snug hand to hand contest.
it is better by far to calculate on the
strength aud potency of the adversary
than upon his probable weakness and
chances for decline, and prepare for
the contest, and make the attacks upon
this reasoning.
The ball is now wholly open-let
the contest be carried on with renewed
vigor, and a full determination for sue.
cess, and the democratic ticket will be
elected.
