"SNAIX."-Our friend local, who halls
from Quincy street, says they (the
rads,) have commenced to slaughter
saair, which they will continue till the
22d of October when he expects to tin-
ish the job. If there ever was a party,
since the time the serpent visited Moth
er Eve, who ought to know all about
hypocrisy and venom it is the party
that our friend says have commenced
this slaughter. We, therefore, infer that,
as all the sadir are to be killed, the
Radicals intend committing suicide.
Now don't do that. Just wait till No
vember and the Democrats will save
you that trouble. Suicide is a crime
But complete humiliation on the field
of battle is the result, sometimes Of
good fortune, bat in this case it will be
retributive justice. From his Boosting
and the one who heads the Radical ii ok
ct we apprehend he has the great
slaugh ter as recorded of Samson in hi
mind as the same species of animal from
| which the jaw-bone was taken is chos

POLICE CoURT.--The great amount of
business transacted in this Court on
Monday, seemed to check the ardor of
spectators and lessen the number of
cases at the Court on yesterday morn
ing. 1t seems that fight had come of
near the classical ground of Jenathan's
Ravine, on Saturday last, in which
some "purps" were the basis of the rem
contre. Jackson Gouldon, who had the
young CANNES, was accosted by John
Jones who manifested disposition to
have one Of the young "bloods" or a
fight. The controversy eventuated in a
short conflict of arms, but was not per-
mitted to reach q final result-the
belicose gentlemen having been sepa-
rated. After the hearing of the whole
matter in dispute. the Judge fined each

ing thus left statue quo.

THIRTY-E EIGHT YEARS AGO. 1t is
quite amusing as we'll as instructive
sometimes, to look over an old newspa
per. A day or two ago we were louk
ing over weekly paper published IL
Wheeling iu the year 1880. The differ
ence in the prices of articles of provis-
ion, then and now, struck us so forci'
bly, that we have concluded to ncte q
few of the articles and prices at thai
time. Butter was 5a9c per pound; cot
foe 14al6c; -four g 75a3 per barrel
molasses 45a50c per gallon; pork S9all
per barrel; lard 5a64c per pound, and
cheese Ease per pound. What q con,
trast with prices at the present day
The laborer could do better then at 75c
per day than he can now at 81 80. Let
us get back to old Democratic times
and these blessings will return.
