The editor Of the Republican, after being con.
victed Of cndcavoring to injurc the good name Of

word of which is destitute OF truth; but VIC care

become personally acquainted with nearly every

nominated without opposition for Probate Judge,
and at the election received nearly three .four'hs

must decline noticing his personal falsehoods up.
on us. On the other hand GRIFFITH has been in
the county some eighteen months. During that
time he has published himself to the world liar
and libeler to avoid prosecution, he has driven
vast amount of patronage from his printing office.
he has been whipped "withn an inch of his life"
for lying about his ncighbors, he has sent man
four times to one of our citizens to beg off from
deserved thrashing. and he has conducted himself
20 meanly in general that he would have been
long since carried out of town on rail had 1t not
been that respectable woman is unfortunate
enough to be married to him.
But we have wandered from the story of the
flag. When GRIFFITH publishes that story he
knows he is telling that which is without the
shadow of foundation. He can accomplish nc
political purpose by it. he has nothing to gain by
telling such falsehoods on the people of this town
all there is in it is the qualification Of a wicked
disposition and malicious intent to injure the
place where, and the people among whom, his
infamy has become so notorious.

There is story circulating in Naples
that a mason there was visited in the
night by two strangers who took him in
carriage, blindfolded, to a strange
house, where he was ordered. on pain of
death, to make hole in the wall of a
chamber sufficiently large for a coffin.
This done, coffin was brought in, and
a young lady handsomely dressed. was
dragged into the room end forced into it.
The lid was screwed down and the coffin
was walled up by the mason, who was
again blindfolded and taken to the sea
beach, paid ten piastres, and told that he
might tell all he knew. He did tell the
police, but he could not describe the
house.

GOOD One.
Everybody knows GEORGE l.. Cook to be good
fellow, and when good joke is got on good
fellow it should always be told. One day last
week George and N P. McCoRMIcK were out hun
ting. George had never had an opportunity to
have shot at setting rabbit, and he was ex-
tremely anxious for one When in JOHN FRENcH's
cornfeld Mccormick discovered the outlines Of a
rabbit col ceaed in cluster of weeds and grass,
aud called George up to have the coveted shot
After considerable whispering, pointing and fig
uring, George got into position, cooked both bar.
rels of his piece, took steady aim, fired, ran in
for the game and seized pumpkin from which
he had shot the "nnards." George considers it
n good joke, but thinks the laughing produced,
ra ther excessive French says thatif Cook don't
quit hunting rabbits in his pumpkin patch lie will
be compelled to buy seed next spring.

Fires.

f1rcSs
As cold weather has come, and fires are indis-
pens ible. we must give our ANIMAL caution in re-
gard to fires. We hope all have examined crit
ically their chimneys, pipes, aues, fire places,
and stoves. Then see to it before you retire to
rest, cover your fires carefully, keep your match
cs in good safe, and suffer no one to have them
Gus, and we have no doubt many fires originate
from want of care in keeping matches. The
practice too, of keeping matches loose in pockets
is not only reprehensble but dangerous.

Though one of the least war taxes they pay.
