L" STRAW" FROM THE MOUNTAINS Of
PALMYRA. - Como, Palmyra District,
Lyon County, always was n loyal,
sound Union settlement, after the whites
populated the place, and four years ago,
when it vas in its palmiess days, we
were personally cognizant OF the fact.
Como polled two hundred votes Mt the
Presidential election, over one hundred
and fifty of them being for ABRAHAM
LINCOLN. The shallow little lake of
Como still glimmers on the eastern
plain, and the lank, spcckled bullfrogs
still forlornly croak along its stony,
cherries margin, but that ouce thrifty
town has fallen into n decline. The
many promising lodges failed to pan
out properly, therefore the population
deserted the place, and so after awhile
did most Of the houses. \ few miners
and woodchoppers now constitute the
population, but the ancient loyal glory
of the place has mol departed (; her po-
litical status remains relatively about
in the same old notch IS when we
s'cast u lines" and our votes there.
Read the following note just received by
US from an old and well known resident.
1t speaks for itself:
COMO, October 2S, 1868.
To ALI. DorEN Como is all right, po-
l~itically. We shall poll II votes, IL for Grant
and 5 for SEYMOUR. We did stand II to 6,
but the other day l got hold Of a Democratic
SAFEGUARD and gave it to about the only
Democrat who can read, and converted him
at once. Tell them to send along some
mere; they are the best campaign documents
out. It's a good name for a Democratic pa
per, but it was started too late to save the
Democratic party. Wellington's Old Guard
couldn't save it now. Yours, "PoNY."
OTHERWISE, W. CRowNISsuIELD.
