not therefore, next year, have 50,0 600 or 100 600

WHERE A VOTER CAN DEPOSIT HIS BAILor.-
BY the recent decision Of the Supreme Court the
TACT is established that an elector cannot vote
ontsde OF the district or ward in which he resides

wherever they might have been, within the State
ON election day. and for county officers anywhere
within the county. We understand by this deci-
sion thot hereafter a man cannot vote for State
and county officers, except in the township where
he has gained legal residence. Such has been
the case in many OF the old States for years back

remark of soldier, who probably thought
he was speaking in an under-tone. The
Governor was letting off an eagle in regard
to the occasion of the regiments leaving

How seldom do we find any one who has
relish for real friendship-who. can set a
duekalue upon its appreciation, and pay due
regard TO its censures AdulatiOn lives,
and pleases; truth dies and is forgotten.
The fattery Of the fool is always pungent
and delicious; the rebuke of the wise Is ev-
er irksome and hateful Wherefore, then
do we accuse the fates when they withhold
from US the blessings of friendship if we
ourselves have not the capacity for enjoying
them ?

fabel, had two tavorites. Mahamood wa:

Romantic AFFAIR in Hancock
Gouuty.

In the northern part Of Hancock county,
there resided good looking intelligent
young widow, whose husband died in 1860
Now this husband who was very considcra-
bly, the senior of his wife, on his death bed,
had exacted promise from her that she
would never marry again, and after his death
his relatives managed TO gobble up his en-
tire estate; leaving her not only widow,
but very poor The aforesaid promise to
her husband she disregarded in less than a
year, for 10 young officer in the gallant
2lst, from a neighboring county of Wood,
who had loved her before her marriage, re
newed his suit.
She would have married him, but for that
fatal promise, and she would have broken her
PROMISE but for a remarkable tender con
science which rebuked her whenever she
thought Of the matter.
So the matter stood until the battle Of
Chickamauga. The young officer was bad
wounded, and was brought home to die
He made all his preparations, setting his
house in order completely, for the last scene
of all his eventful history. He sent for the
widow and told her he desired but ono thing,
and that was 10 provide for her. He knew
that she was poor and he had no property
10 leave her-one thing only he could do.
His widow would receive pension of thirty
dollars per month from governmeDt-he
would make her his widow.
She thought the matter over for several
hours, and finally concluded to do it. True
she would violate the letter of her promise,
but not its spirit; and when she thought Of
the good the pension would do her, her
scruples vanished and they were married.
Singular as it may seem, this marriage
had beneficial effect upon our wounded
hero. He showed siguA0Df Improvement
Immediately; in fact, 50 rapid was his re
covery, that the ex-widow began to think,
in the course Of three or four days that the
hope of his pension was growing faint and
well she might, for in week he was walk
! ing about, and last Wednesday he started
for his regiment, leaving wife behind him
| who wept bitterly at the parting.
Some say the gallant officer was not
wounded at all-that the whole affair was a
deception, and advised the deceived woman
to sue for a divorce, but she thought not -
She did not believe there was any deception
She had done jnstice to the memory Of her
deceased husband-he only proposed mar
riage to benefit her-in his recovery she
recognized the hand of Providence and was
disposed to submit thereto. .-F'md1ay Jeff.
