cause, and, utterng wild cry of joy, ran into
fhe forest and ascended to the top of high
tree, where be insisted on staying until tie
small hours of morning, much 10 the chagrin
and dismaY of his friends | expect to be q
xiinessst3 similar feat of Mr.. Snyder some
/ of these evenings, for be certainly looking
for free last Saturday night But of Mr..
Snyder will have more TO say when hear
him make speech.
Oh, yes, there was another distinguished
Personsge present, that had almost overlook
ed; / should have mentioned him before. But
With my hat in hand, and bowiDg as polite as
can, ask the old gentleman's pardon. At
| ter pay him my respects and inquire how his
garden produces, the size and weight of his
cabbages, beets, &C., will then introduce him
to you. 1t will be of but little use for any
other enteTprising Eorticulturist to attempt to
compete with this old arorthy in garden pro-
ducts at the County Fair. Well, he is no 9TH
er than the old gray haired fuactiOnary of Gum
berland Valley, better known, probably, by
the name of Old Mar Horse | have been
looking for him before, but it seems as if he
has been kept in the background by the friends
of john j. The old nag broke out from his
enc osnre the other night, and strayed u little
from home; and if one could judge by the way
be was friskiug and switching around, you
would have thought he would socu do to put
On the course again: bu. his friends say that
he is badly affected with whas horse doctors
call Uentrdt hernia, caused by eating too many
onion tops; consequently, they don't think that
he will eyer be fit for another race. 1t is q
pity that be is afflicted thus, for he is the Nero
of the passing age, and what is most remarka-
BILE, his .knoSledge seems to como to him
spontaneously. He never reads, and cares but
very little about hearing speech, which is
made manifest 10 the following auecdote:
While there was case Of misdeaeanor be-
t ing tfled 6y his Honor, there ewas a celebrated
lawyer about to make a speech IN behalf of
| the Commonwealth, when this veritable old
Roman Pontiff looked up with surprise, aud
said 81 have noso6jeciions to the gentleman
making a speech for the Information of those
present, but, for my own part, my had is too
gray" and he pointed with pride to his old
croDs nest. | would also recommend him to
the Borough candidates as suitable person 10
whose hands 10 put money for eecticneeriDg
purposes. People then will not be apt to get
drunk on the proceeds of such money, for he
is of the same opinion as most sensible men,
that money pays nell at te" per- cent. interest
Well, if this old political intrguer thinks that
have not done him justice, will take ii all
back, with promise to do him justice in my
next communication. Wishing our Dougla as
friends all pleasant tefe tete with the Judge
and his mother at the head waters of Salt Riv-
er, (where they will End Gen. Foster and the
county ticket,l bid them all adieu.
Their Douglas meetings are creating no sem
satou here, but / noticed one thing last Sat-
urday night that scented little of corruption.
Mr.. Snyder opproacbel man with curious
blur 10 his eye, and tapping him slightly on
the shoulder, said: f'Gone up to the election;
I'll give you-your dinner and feed your
horse" They forgot to adjourn at their meet
ing, bat went it pel-mell, helrer-skelter after
! the scent of their bottle
