Jasper B. Walworth, of Wayne, Ash
tsbula Co., who lost his voice three years
ago, while in the army, recovered it afew
days since, in a singular way. When
starting for the Probate Office in Warren,
30 procure a marriage license, he was al
tackled with a cough, which seemed to
cleas up his throat, and left his a~rticula-
ton full and perfect. Mr.. Walworth, Of
course was happy over his recovery, and
said he knew he was in a good cause
that of union-for as soon as he started
oat in that direction he was made whole.

Andy Grove, the Lordstown giant,
mas been spreading b imself in the "Con-
5stitution" of this week, as sweetly and
naturally as molssses on a cold buckwheat
cake. In the card he publishes, he
denies that he fortified himself with
"~whiskey" and "double-barreled shot
guns" when b. made his weary pilgrim
age to Mesopotamia to aid in the arrest
of Messrs Day and White. He says he
had no "sp5itua" liquor with him. In
the name IF the ghost Of the murdered
Kings English, what kind Of liquor is
that? Spiritual" liquori Is 1t possible
Andy has got the ''spirits" coOped in sas-
safras lodges, and like Macbeth's witches,
is brewing in seething caldrons a new ar
tiele of tsngle-foot" and forty-rod."
OF course Andy's spirits are Copperheads.
Think of Spiritual Copperhead whisky
Uhl If that is the pabulum on which
the Lordstown Democracy subsist, their
inco~rrigableness is easily explained. But,
we viii not dispute his assertion that on
the occasion of his sneaking raid into
Mosopotamia, he had no whisky with
him. The matter may be explained on
the presumption that he left the jug be-
hind, in order to travel in disguise.
