A FAIR oFFssr.-4 good story IS told Of
q Snowman, who carried about on sxhibi-
ton ar enormous bear. In q certain town in
Vermont where Bruin was attracting
crowds, dwelt a farmer and his wife, and an
interesting and muhitudiaous family OF TWEEN
ty children. Tie pa;er-iamilias was very
desireus Of gratifying the cOmmendable Gu
riosity Of bis offspring; but the price Of ad-
mission to the show was one shilling, and
that multiplied by the number Of lis olive
plants WAS too much for lis ezchequsr.
Hs therefore approached the Snowman, and
after some parley, concluded a bargain, by
which the latter agreed to drive into the far
mer's back yard with Bruins cage, and give
q private exhibition to the entire family for
one dollar. This was done to the great de-
light of the old folks and children, when the
farmer proGered the compensatory dollar to
he obEging Snowman. OH mol said the
latter, cant take anything il Is ne inore

of the Vallandigham peace faction places
the Ohio Democracy on the war platform
OF the New York Seymour Democracy, and
is a harhinger Of the nomination Of a war
Democrat at the Chicago Convention. The
New York Ne,cS. affects to kick the World
out of the Democratic party, and declares
that none but an out-and-out peace Demo
