give US the result?
A Coop SaoT.-Mr ". T. Ruff, son of
Lang Ruff, Esqr., Of this district, at one
shot, killed and wounded 80 summer
Ducks, all of which he secured. This is
what we call tall shooting, and if any
one can beat it, or even come near it, let
him say so, but we advise him to bring a
portion of the game along as a proof
present for US, otherwise we might be
inclined to doubt the story.
That FENcE-and we disclaim any in
tentiOn Of giving offence in noticing it,
but it is a remarkable piece Of ingenuity,
that same fence. 1t stands opposite the
Baptist Church, and was projected and
built with view to the defence of the
lot it encloSes, and is a rail fence. Ifthe
builder takes exception and thinks our
notice of his fence invidious, and with
one of its rails would thrash us, we beg
to say we are on "the fence" our fence,
and decline taking any, having Joined

to the candidates for the Sherifalty, any
number of whom were to be seen on the
streets few mornings since as soon as
it was known that the old incumbent
had resigned. Jordan is a rough road to
travel, but it should be pleasant traVell-
ing with so many on the road, so pull off
your coats, gentlemen, and go at it with
a will. never mind that the race is not to
the swift, nor the battle to the strong,
somebody has to win. We will wager
rs to the result and feel confidence in
saving, that the lucky man will be he
who gets the most votes.
FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGs--But nev-
ertheleSs a. facts; and the fact of the bu-
siuess is, when we know thing to be
fact it is cur duty to make it public; and
particularly where the public are inter-
ested and will be benefited by a knowl-
edge of it. The case in point, and which
We now relate, we have proof OF, and
though wearing an air CT mystery to
some few, yet is plain enough to any
but skeptical mind. We have been
asked the question how is it in these
