rhe Crent Uat Hunt.

On Friday evening Capt FnrSpi's rnt compn.
ny, together with many Of Capt. sAvSpEas' com.
pany, partook Of an excellent supper at the En-.
pire. After supper came the music aud dancing.
Our special reporter, Mr.. squibob. furnishes us
with tho following incidents and circumstances I,
"The ails we're counted by three Of our Oldest
and most respectable citizens Capt FrEsoH's
company presented 5,00i, Capt. sAUspERs' 1899.
II Is said considerable, or perhaps more, cheating
was done Some OF FREacn's men presented pig
tails, shaved and painted, and imposed them upon
the judges for genuine Norways. SAUNDERS
man imported fifty muskrat tails from Cleveland,
split and rolled them so nicely as to pass them of
for bully rat tails. Capt FREScn had Sc tails
stolen from him while partaking of glass Of In.
ger and II is supposed they w.re counted Oh the
other side. During the dancing Capt. SAUNDERS
fell asleep and "a tails we're extracted from his
pockets b. the opposition. After lie had thus
been robbed some one tckled him under the nose
with rat tall and he sprung TO his feet as if he
had been shot, producing great merriment among
the ladies'. The parties must have worked with
marvellous industry to kill, in less than month,
nearly ten thousand rats and it Is feared there Ia
nary rat lie # in this community to rear young ones
for the next hunt. The ju ges did their best to
have the rat tails properly counted, but from the
vast amount of cheating they were Unable to de.
eide to a dead certainty. They, however, set.
tied upon the figures above given wbcreupon
Capt SAUNDERS gave notice OF contest Evidence
OF fraud is now being eagerly gathered on both
sides. At our next term of the Court of Common
Pleas the matter will de brought before Judge
SAMPLE, who will decide the dispute according to
law and the best of his ability.
N. B. am not certain that the above is all
strictly true, but there seems to be nothing i'm
possible about it,"

The Only True Union Leagues.

The New York Express well says that
the only true Union League just now. is
the Democratic party. IT the Old Wing
party existed. there would be another I'm
ion party-another true Union League
But, now that the Wing party is deal,
the only true Union League is the old
National Democratic party. which for
sixty odd years carried on "the Govern.
ment' without having established Bas-
tiles for the Incarceration OF political Of,
tenders; without insurrection, beyond
what the Abolition fanatics created
without civil war, and with such general
prosperity and happiness that three mil
lions of people, under their auspices
grew up to be thirty millions, with pow.
er and empire extended from tho Allan
tic to to the Pacific, and honored all over
the globe. This party is now the only
true Union League party left.
