much Inconvenience and actual loss to par

SURPRISED AT THE CHANqE.-A gen.
tloman who has travelled from Toledo,
by the way Of Lima, Wapakonetta, Sid
ney, Piqua, Dayton, Springfield, and
London to this city, was In our Office
yesterday. He travelled over the same
portion of the State one year ago, and
rs assured Us that the change In politi-
cal sentiment along the whole route is
perfectly surprising. Men, who, one
year ago, were loud and bitter IN their
denunoiatiOns of the Democratic party,
are now Jealous Democrats. Certainly
We are glad to receive this good word ;
but it is Of piece. From all parts of
the State we are daily in receipt Of the
most encouraging word.
The stealings Of Republican partfsans
in Office, the heavy taxes heaped upon
the people by them in their work Of dis
solution, coupled with the grand effort
now being made to crowd the mass of
the Whites doWn to the Lowell Of the Ne
groes, is q little too much for the peo-
pie, and such party they ,UiU hurl from

THE GIPsTEs.-Tho origin Of this peo.
pie seems to be somewhat obscure. Their
manners, customs and habits are poculi-
sr to themselves. Within the last ten
or dozen years they are frequent visitors
to this portion Of the State, spending q
large portion Of their time in and around
Dayton. They own considerable proper
ty in Montgomery county. Levi Stanley,
their present king, is the pOssessOr of
two or three farms, and some other prop
erty. He seems to be an honest, upright
man in business transactions, and bears
a good reputation among thofe who have
had dealings with him. They have also
purchased a burying-Place for their
dead, We believe, in some part Of Wood
land Cemetery. The father and mother
Of their present rule are buried there,
with many Of their relations aud dOscend-
ants. The principal object Of their visit
here at this time was to bury five child
rem that died during their late Southern
tour, and have been in the vault at
Woodland for a considerable length of
time. The funeral procession started
from North Dayton with two of the most
magnificent bcarses they could procure.
They endeavored to have more, but were
unable to get them, as they we're engag-
ed elsewhere. Several carriages we're
also in the procession. They invariably
seek the service sof one or more ministers
of the Gospel on these occasions; and,
although they have some ceremonies Of
their own, at such times they are made
subordinate to the service adopted BY
Christians in general on solemn coca
sions Of the kind.-DGy'on Ledger.

HERE WE CoMB.-There was a we'd
ding in a church in q village near Chioa-
90, recently, which was attended by 3
crowd of people, the bride being q IA
nous belle in that Bsection, and the BRIDE
groom late army officer. There is q
story about him that was revived with
great effect at the Wedding. He was in
the western frontier service, and one day
Geo the story goes) he went out to hunt
bear. He had been away from the
camp a few hours when his voice was
heard family in the distance ezclsim-
| ing:
"HeTe we come !"
"In a little time the same oTy was
heard again but nearer then it Was re-
peatod again at intervals, nearer and
louder when finally thOoaptain emerged
from a bit Of woods near the camp, run
ming at the top of his speed, without hat,
coat or gun. In he came to camp shout
ing, "Here We come"
"Here who comes ?" inquired broth
CT officer.
"Why ne and my game" gasPed the
officer, pointing to a largo bear who show
ed itself at the edge Of the woods, took
look at the camp, and then with a
growl of despair at missing his expected
meal off the captain, disappeared in the
woods again.
"But why didn't you shoot the bear
and bring him in ?" inquired one.
whats the use Of shooting your
game" said the captain, testify" when
you can bring it in alive as did ?"
The story got homo before the captain
did and was in every body's mouth. The
other night when the bold captain led
his intended bride into the church with
the pride and grace so readily inspired
by the occasion, wicked Wag sang out
from the gallery;
"Here we come !"
Which was followed by such a loud
shout of laughter as the old church noV-
er heard before.
