Marshall" who camc all the way from Ken

Hayes Is not the boy to win.

As Senators will 60,
And last, not least, another too
Our John II. Goodenow.
John Hemingway Is not behind
For he Is sure to 90,
He'll fill the place to him assigned
Instead Of Alvah Doe.
Our Sheriff too well send
without one single thank
To any Democratic friend
Who worked for James Burbank.
George Knowlton now has won the race.
We all well know his name
Although youth, he'll fill the place
Instead Of George L. Came.
And now about our Probate Judge
The Democrats do mourn,
But AFTER all we will not bulge
But get our f. Bourne.
For Treasurer, we have our choice,
A man both just and true,
And 8. X. Roberts with one voice
We've bravely put him through.
We now suppose that every man
Who hears this little ditty
Are all agreed that our tall Sam

what Old Veterans Say and DO.

"a gentleman related to us pleasing in
cident yesterday, says the Mansfield Herald,
"to which he was an eye witness. 1t oc-
Cured at Fort Wayne, Indiana on Monday
evening. Three old men, over whose heads
three score and ten years had passed, met
accidentally. They had voted together the
same Democratic ticket all their lifetime !;
two had cast their votes in the same ballot
box for over forty years. After the usual
salutations, one of them said: "My friends,
| have voted with the Democratic party for
forty years, never changing my vote.
I have come TO the conclusions that it is
not now what it used to be- Its principles
have been changed and its leaders have be-
come dishonest and corrupt intend, for
the balance of my life, to vote with the
Republican party, and if live until next
November, l will cast my ballot for HONEST
OLD ABEL" "I intend to do so, too" said
the second. sand l, too" said the third.
And then those three aged men joined
hands and solmenly pledged themselves
that if Heaven spared their lives until next
November, to cast their votes for Lincoln
and Hamlin, and against the enemies Of
the Constitution and the Union. During
this interview, quito a number of persons
were attracted to the spot, and all were
very deeply impressed with the scenc.-
When the Republican party receives such
aids as these, who can doubt the correct
ness of its principles, or its final triumph? a?

THE TORNADO IN MIcH1GAN.-The sup
position that the late tornado, after striking
Lake Michigan, had exhausted itself on the
water, proves to have been erroneous. The
Grand Haven Clarion of Tuesday last,
which we examined carefully for any traces
of the storm, gave no evidence of anything
unusual in the atmospheric line in that
quarter. But the Grand Rapids Herald Of
the same date learns that it came across in
undiminished force on Sunday night, sweep
ing over the northern townships of Ottawa
county, and leaving fearful devastation in its
track, though it is not known as yet that
any lives were lost. The Herald's inform
ant states that The roof of the barn belong
ing to Nathan Earle, in the town of Sparta
was taken completely off; while his sheds,
fences, &C., were all blown down. The hur-
ricane swept over a space of hundred
rods in width, tearing up trees, and doing I

twisted completely off by the wind, leaving
only stumps three or four feet in height.

INCIDENTS OF THE ToRNADo.-The Dav-

remarkable incidents of the late tornado,

Mrs. Brandon's residence, and probably G
couple of miles from the track Of the tor.

with her head buried in the mud. When
taken out she was found to be alive, She
was taken care of, and is now apparently
well, excepting that she is not altogether

herself, and is utterly unknown.
