What think you
A grand ratification of Gov. Curtin's
denomination was had in town on Thurs
day night. The first thing in order was
torchligh. procession, after which several
speeches were delivered, among them
one by the Governor. 1t was splendid
effort, was the tter,-eloqucnt, patriotic,
convincing-but, inasmuch as it has been
published in full in the daily papers, your
correspondent will not attempt even an
abstract thereof. Several thousand persons
were present in the Capitol grounds, du-
ring the exercises, and the most Intense
enthusiasm prevailed. The Governor is
universal favorite, especially among the
soldiers, who will vote for him to a man.
Your correspondent must not forget to
mention that, on Thursday morning, on the
reception of the news OF his denomination,
three rousing cheers were given for Gov.
Curtin by Co. A.
Writing in tie midst of the confusion
necessarily arising from the mastering out

pardoned for the many imperfections
manifest in this screed. With soldier,

PRESENTATION NEXTRAoRDINARY.-O
last Friday our 'Citv Fathers" were the
recipients of an unexpected present of a
rather unusual character. 1t happe ned
in this wise:
For some time past the ordinance pro-
hibiting swine running loose through our
streets, has been in force, and, as natural
consequence, the boys around town have
been doing large business in the way of
corneripg stray piggies, and 'impouneing'
them. One of the pigs thus ''arbitrarily
arrested" was so unfortunate as to die,
whereupon its owner, deciding that as the
borough authorities were the main cause
of it's death, they were best entitled to its
remains, procured d wheel barrow aud
conveyed it from his residence to the
Diamond In the centre of town, where his
defunct 'flard ship was for the time being
deposited. The laugh, as a matter of
course, came in here, but was considerably
changed to the other side, when, upon the
borough authorities being notified Of the
occurrence, the gentlemanly donor was
fined five dollars for depositing a nuisance
upon the highway, and when he, in addi-
ton, was obliged to pay a cartman for
removing the odoriferous carcass to more
appropriate place Of sepulture
