fastened on the bottom of the vehicle inside.

Scripture and the Democratic
Party.

The Democrat, last week in its sniInadversion
upon the L. s. Senate's course III keeping the
Hon. Philip +. Thomas waiting at its door,
remarks: divinity has set its seal ofspproba-
ton on the JOY of the parent of the prodigal
son" The parent spoken of in scripture, who
killed the fatted calf ind made q feast of reoc-
ing, did it when his prodigal boy returned to
the parenta! roof, and promised to sin no more;
but the Democratic parents rejoicing was all
over their proligal sons when they went ont
10 sin against their country. There is just
about that difference the Democrat points out
between its party and illustrious characters
commended in scripture. The former rejoiced
over he commission Of SIM and the latter over
repentance Of it.

bachelors be converted into domestic Beoe

But sleighing, like every other pursuit,
has its mishaps,-in fact it seems particu.
larly liable to them, if we form an opinion
On the frequent gallops that take place
through town, Of horses and sleishs with
out drivers. Mr.. Z. Smith, with Young
lady, was rolled out at the junction OF North
and Main streets by the upsettng Of his
sleigh, on Saturday evening last, and the
horse and sleigh went up Main street at a
speed considerably greater than 2.t0. The
animal managed to get loose from the sleigh
when he had made the circuit of the town
and took the road for home. A pair Of Mr..
Hooper Mitchell s horses that were hitched
to a sleigh. on Monday following, became in
fuenced by similar impulse, and attempted
to make circuit OF the town, also, but
when they had completed about three. fourths
Of the course, were checked by some col
ored men who met them coming down street
near the late Col Groome's residence. Mr..
stephen OFT was thrown from his sleigh near
town, on Sunday, while returning from
church, and severely injured about the face.
Other similar adventures may have taken
place that did not come under our reporters
notice. Altogether the sleighing has made
times lively, and we are inclined to believe,
