Kidding the Dend FareweII.

Our correspondent, "Swan Town
ship" amuses us-"bidding the Re-
publican party farewell" Why, dear
friend, the State Central Committee Of
that party, on the 25th of July, 1881,
buried it, and did not even give it a
"chestnut coffin and one thing ano-
ther," to pass through that country
that you and us want to shun. AL
low us to tell you that coffin c:rcum-
stance, in order to appreciate q "cheat'
nut coffin" A lay member of one Of
our most popular churches thus ad'
dressed a Wesleyan Preacher, one
SPEARS. who had been lecturing him
for swearing, as we are told
Lay A6m.-Sir, | don't want to
join the Wesleyan Church.
Rsv. S.-Why not 2
Lay Mem.-Because, sir, you wO'd
preach me into hell when | wouid die
before l could get my shroul on, and
one thing another.
REV. S. reflects silently.]
Lay Mem.-Sir, when die want
you to have me put in a chestnut cof-
fin, and one thing another.
ReO. S.-Why 500
Lay Mem.-Because, sir, when |
pass through you Wesleyans and mig
gers in hell, Iiwant to be swapping and
cracking and one thing another!

Poles, "and OSe tGIng Another"

The Journal will have it that DR..
Wnooxsaid that the Democracy came
to him, representing the pole as
Union one." Now, we are requested
to say that DR.. Wilcox told you no
such thing, unless he at the same time
said il was a Democratic Union Pole.
Again, no Democrat in Richland town.
ship cursed us because we gave the
notice for a Democratic. Union Pole,
No gentleman subscribed a cent but
those who knew what they were do.
ing. Get out certificate, MoBETH,
as all at Allen say it is not true as you
state, without respect to party. Trot
out your evidence.

the victory Of the day thatsall
THAT was Immediately practicable
had been consummated. and that
wisdom dictated rather the seen

ground they had won, than plung-

Gus enterprises, wherein Al might
