HENDERSON COUNTY, Ky August 8, 1868. !
MEssRs. EDITORS: We attempted to hold
an election here this morning, and after
having cast 16 votes for Wickliffe and the
rest of the Democratic ticket, the military
from Henderson, under Captain Childs, APP
peared and stopped the election.
Captain Childs stated that he had orders
from Colonel Foster not to permit the Dem
ocratic ticket to go on the poll-book. l
waited on Captain Childs, at the request of
about fifty Democratic voters, and informed
him that they were willing to take the oath
and desired to vote for their candidates.
This he refused to do. He then dem and ed
the poll-ooo which the clerk delivered to
him under protest. Wickliffs's vote would
have been about one hundred and fifty
while that of Bramlette would not have been
more than four or FIVE.
The above is plain statement of facts.

MEssRs. EDITORS: The farce of an election
was played here to-day. The judges of
election, acting under the authority of some
officials belonging to the regiment Of Colonel
Jacob, candidate for Lieutenant Governor,
peremptorily refused to let any vote be re-
cord ed for the Democratic ticket. Not a
Democratic vote has been cast i'll the county
as far as heard from. The consequence Is,
that about sixteen or eighteen hundred
Democratic votes have been rejected, and
the whole bogus Union vote has been asst
perhaps about two hundred.

A Toad's Toilet,

Audubon relates that he saw toad un-
dress himself He commenced by press
ing his elbows hard against his side and
rubbing downwards. After few smart
rubs his side began to burst open along
his back. He kept on rubbing until he
had worked all the skin into folds on his
side and hips; then grasping one hind leg
with both hands he hauled off one leg OF
his pants the same as anybody would;
then stripped off the other leg IN the same
way. He then took his cast of cuticle
forward between his fore legs, into his
mouth, and swallowing as his head came
down, he stripped off the skin underneath
until it came 70 his fore legs, and graspinR
one of those with the opposite hand. BY a
slight motion of the head, and all the
while swallowing, he drew il from the
neck and swallowed the whole That il

Z ECBMBER.

WINTER reclines his head upon the lap
OF Autumn; and his snowy locks be 6ings
Upon her bosom. Closely doth he wrap
His arms around her, till her quiverings
Subside in death. His voice breaks forth in
wild
And piteous howls, as if he mourned the
death
Of the meek one who perished at his breath
Stern on his brow the angry clouds are piled
And bitter are his rage and vengeful spite;
And sesmen on the rocky coasts at night
Fall victims to his ire. At times he seems
To put away his wrath, and melted tears
Run down his icy checks in copious streamsi
But soon anew they freeze, and all his range
appears.
