! nsA- The State Senators, without dis
tinction of party, presented Hon. l.. w.
| Hall, Speaker of the Senate, with a fine
/ gold watch. This is the second testimo-
| nial of that kind our talented member has
/ received.
pA- According to the Democrats logic
/ it is all right for democratic ladies and
! gentlemen to ride about our streets in car

Bs95@ Miss Jennie Scott ofShaver's Greek,
had her pocket picked Of $500 on Satur-

nsar The republican vote in Connecti-
cut is 1889 larger than ever given before,
and there is but little doubt that the pur-
lieus of New York made the recent cop
perhead majority. 1t is also said that
immense sums of money were spent by
that party.
Bs2g@ a lovely row is progressing among
the New York Democracy. "Miles o.
Reilly" is twirling his shillelah around
Iammany Hall and the Cagger Thugs
with true Celtic fervor and abandon, and
the wholesome work of disintegration
goes bravely on. The unterrified" are
in CrtTeDliS, and no one mourns.

meeting was held on Thursday at Rich

Union were bleeding and dying in the
Wilderness.
Eses~ A rebel lawyer of Richmond, Va,
in an attempt to win the suffrages of the
colOred voters of that Vicinagc, affection
ately assured them, in public speech,
that "he had colOred nanny when he
was child, and that he loved the colOred
people, as they must know" To these
undignified and deceptive appeals the
speeches Of some of the freedmen present
a noble contrast.
Bs8. The Juniata papers just now arei in
ferment about law passed at the last
session regulating advertising, &c. The

lation of all, and gave the printing to the
two democratic and their ally the John
son concern The law directs them to
give the printing TO the three papers hav-
ing the largest observation-disclosures the
hubbub. The population of that county
is about the same as ours, and two papers
would be enough in all conscience. AS
natural result of an overstocked market
eXOrbitant charges for advertising are
made in some cases, and get whatyou can
in others, as an instance of which we may
state that a contract was lately made for
the same advertisement, if we remember
Alright, as follows: Register, s. year
Sentinel, SIS year; while the Lewistown
