He called at the house on the evening of
her arrival, and she met him on the piazza
where she was enjoying the evening air in
company with two or three of her friends.
The poor fellow was so bashful that he
could not find his tongue for some time
At length he stammered out:
"How's your mother?"
"Quite well, thank you."
Another silence on the part of Josh, dur
ing which Kate and her friends did the best
they could to relieve the monOtony. After
waiting about fifteen minutes for him to
commence to make himself agreeable, he
again broke the spell by

first one, and then followed another silence
like the other.

followed by an exchange of glances and a
suppressed smile. E
This lasted some ten minutes more, dur

Not Much of a Mob.

The Radical papers are making great
noise about John Hoply, Editor of the
Bucyrus Journal, being mobbed on election
day by the "copperheads."
We know John-know all his peculiari-
ties. He is an Englishman by birth-has
some clever traits in his composition but
he talks too much, NEEDLES with every
thing, is eternally committing indiscre-
tions and is always in "hot water"
On election day he took negro, black
as an ink pot, by the arm and led him up
to the polls to vote. He did it for the pur-
pose of annoying Democrats, and succeed
ed in getting himself into bit of quarrel
with a Democrat about it, which ended in
the Democrat hitting him slap in the face
with his open hand. Parties interferet
and stopped any further hostile demonstra
tions, and that is all there was of the mob
hing of the editor of the Bucyus Journal

From the Brown County News.1

If it be found that Judge Thurman has
been defeated for Governor, we are decid-
edly in favor of having him take the place
of B. f. Wade in the u. S. Senate. This
will be an honor conferred upon him which
has been richly earned. No man ever made
a more gallant, gentlemanly and effective
fight in Ohio than has Judge Allen G..
Thurman. He is one of the ablest and best
men in the West, and his presence in the
u. S. Senate will add strength and vitality
to the cause OF justice in that body, and be
a power which Radical tanaticism will fear
and tremble to encounter. Judge Thur
man has earned the place most richly, and
we trust the Democratic Legislature will
accord him the place without hesitation.
We want good, faithful, honest statesmen
in the Senate, and Judge Thurman will we
