Fast Couple

A few evening since as Justice
Dunn was sitting in his sanctum,
bordering upon the mutability of
human affairs, he was startled by a
ahalloo" that would have Weakened
the sleepiest policeman that was ey-
.er discharged for sleeping on duty /;
upon going to the door he discover
ed a buggy containing a couple Of
"Lovyers'' who wished to know if
that was the squire. Being an-
swered in heafirmatlve, the young
man handed the squire q paper
writing, authorizing any person du-
ly authorized to solemnlze mar
|riages, to join together in the bonds
of happy wedlock-and-(we have
forgotten the names.) With his
blandest smile and politest bow
Justice Dunn asked them to alight
and walk in, but alight and walk
in they would not. The Justice
insisted. The Lovers protested
The Justice "caved" and married
them right there in the street, in
the presence of divers witnesses
among whom was an individual
just brought in for stealing a wag-
on, who remarked soto voce,-that
|ifthe squire would settle his case in
as short a time and in as satisfacto-
ry q manner to him as that seemed
to be to the parties interested, he
would ask no more.
The newly made wife smiled
The Justice blushed. The crowd
laughed, and the happy couple
dashed off carrying with them the
good wishes of all who witnessed
the novel wedding.

Camn-Meatinr.

On last Sabbath morning we,
in company with several Others,
wendell our way from Eaton to
Winchester Compromising. our
journey thithcr was as agreeable as
we could either wish or desire. The
fields as we passed along present
ing a beautiful appearance, from
the care and industry bestowed on
them; in the cultivation of their
crops. We never witnessed q more
abundant yield of corn anywhere;
than we did between here and the
camp-ground. The farms all the
way are in a high state of cultiva-
ton, and studded over as it were,
with good substantial dwellings,
the abode-we have no doubt Of
comfort and peace. When we
reached the camp-ground, we were
still more surprised to see so large
o number of persons present, en-
gagged in divine service, and wor-
Shipping the author of their being.
HN
The day passed away agreeably
and the religious exercises were lis
tened to with marked attention by
the numerous assemblage congre'
gated together, for the purpose o.
attending divine service, and prof
ting from the Wholesome truths dis
pensed to all "without money OF
price" About five o'clock in the
afternoon we left the camp-grount
for Eaton well satisfied with oul
visit to Winchester, and fully con-
ident that its inhabitants are al

On Saturday Aug. Is, I. E. Free

would not do them" Turn Out

Hon. William l.. Yancey.

We had the pleasure of hearing this dstin-
guished hratOr at the City Hall, in Whining
ton, on Thursday evening last, where lie adj
dressed a large audiences that could pnssi-
bly, be packed in the building-upon the grave
political issues of the pending Presidential
contest, principally in reference to the south
and how it would be affected by the decision
of The Nation in November next. Mr. Yancey's
arguments in favor of the dominant southern
view, were able and impressive, the recital of
which, however, we shall leave TO the politi.
cal papers, as it was Yancey the orator, more
than Ysncey the politician, that we were in
teIested in. He is deservsdly popular as a
public speaker, though falling short in manner,
tone and appearance OF the commonly received
idea of a "fre-eater," at the head of which
class MIR. Yancey, whether justly or unjustly,
is universally placed. His appearance indi-
Gates anything else than d" hot-spur." lie
is a medium sized man, has light hair, blue
eyes, mild but digui6ed expression, wears no
beard, and it is only when he gets energzed,
in defending the honor and interests of his
section. that we see the latent manhood
" fired up in the determined expression of the
eye, flushed face and compressed lips. MIR.
Yancey is not an orator, as some men count
oratOry. Describing everything like grandio-
queuce, spread-eag leism, tropes and metaphors,
he deals in the planest and purest Anglo
Saxon, making his arguments SO simple and
! plain that the most ignorant man in the audi
ence, capable of compromising the idea,
could not fail TO understand what he was say
ing. 1t was, so to speak, the eloquence Of
ideas rather than of words; yet there was not
in the discourse, Of an hour and three quarters
az we could detect, one sentence with super.
abundance or deficit of words. There was one
steady flow of language, every word Of which
seemed properly weighed and allotted to III
right place. 1t was something nev in its me
, thod and style, as political speech. and, t
our minds. the highest and most able style o
oratory. He did not spend his time In ventil
ating the records of the opposing candidates
nor in demonstrating how they had voted oil
this and that question he dealt with ideas
q and attempted TO meet the quesIionings whic
d now arise in the public mind by arguments
