SPIRIT RAPPINos.-Not hundred miles
from here was an impromtu display in the
rapping line. 1t was on the occasion of a
funeral in the neighborhood that mischiev-
Gus boy. occupying house with his mother
and lady boarder, secreted himself in a
room adjacent to where the two ladies were
ruminating on the uncertainty of human life,
and then on the partition gave repeated
raps, at short intervals. The younger of the
ladies was startled, and declared the house
haunted. but soon summoning courage to
the sticking point, said: ' If there be spirits
here manifest it by three raps." Mischief
gave three with a vim. when the younger
lady ran out doors, followed by the boy IS
mother, who happened to have . large knife
IN her hand at the moment. Both, with
arms extended in the air, few to the road
side, where their demonstrations stopped
some teamsters who were passing. they
thinking the woman with tho knife was pur-
suing the other With murderous intent. On
the facts being made known to them, the
teamsters entered the house with the ladies
and soon succeeded in unhoasing the young
author of this practical joke.

VICTORY.

The great struggle is over. The people, in
terms not to be mistaken have said. I'VE will
have Government" 1t now but remains for
the Executive of the Nation to carry out the
expressed will Of those who so emphatically
have said, We trust you've trust in your
honor-we trust in your integrity and in your
capacity to steer the good ship of State to a
haven of safety. To you we trust all that is
worth living for; in you are centred the
hopes and welfare of nations living and
nations unborn. From the past we judge the
future-and judging thus, We can but believe
that the Government-the Nation-the Uni
ted States will be preserved in all its integri-
ty. With a renewed confidence in speedy
and final result, we place our shoulder to the
wheel, and there will tug and boost until
the last enemy of the nation is among the
things that were-until its life is no longer
threatened-until a permanent peace per-
vades the whole land, and no cloud threatens
a renewal of the storm through which We
have labored until safe harbor is gained. =
Ever remembered will be the day when we
shall awake to pen the words: . Rebellion
is crushed, peace dawns without cloud to
mar the whole horizon, and our faith in the
powers that be leads us to a perfect belief
that such a day is not far distant. The past,
so full of gloom, shall be forgotten in the
geeat joy of nation purified.

Who can do the subject Justice? We
acknowledge our incapacity; emphatically
we cannot write-we can only read election
returns and short sentences pertinent to the
decided issue. Believing this to be the
almost universal condition Of our readers, we
shall not punish ourself and them with any
matter foreign to that subject. We feel glo-
rious, and can't help repeating that such is
our condition.
Reader, study well the returns. Therein
is a lesson that will furnish food to the mind
of both Copperhead and Unionist, grave
thought and logical deductions therefrom will
place both on the stupendously grand plat
form of universal freedom, and submission
to the rule of majorities, if they are honest.
