There was quite a Iudicrous bet made
here on the result Of the election, between
Samuel Kit. a Republican, and that sterling
Democrat, Samuel Lloyd. Mr. hitt agreed,
if Sharswood was elected, to wheel Mr.. Lloyd
from the Office Cf the Master Mechanic to his
(Mr. Lloyd's) residence, and uice ceTSd il
Williams was successful. When it was de-
fuitely settled that he was in for it, MIR. Kit
made the necessary arrangements Tor iuihli~
ing his obligation on Saturday AFTERNOON at
O'Clock, by appointing several OF the main
pillars Of his party as his Aids. Among
these was that honest, hard-fsted Repno-
; lcan, Benz. Burley, as chief assistant, Mr.
- master of ceremonies, and Mr.. Fox
orator for the occasion. The committee of
arrangements did there work adnlira bly,.
They procured a large wheelbarrow, and
placed seat in the GENRE and banner

Democrat coming down from Salt Biver efte,
? eight years residence" On either side was

appeared harnessed up in the barrow, with
a large Salt River pass in front of his hat

gions, while these words were particularly
prominent: 'Ho for Salt River !" To the

t playing Justify. The stately and majestic
: form Of Mr.. Fox ascended the platform anc
E delivering very pertinent speech, after
