..Hool Hoo! Hoo!"

The New York Tribune has good
joke on the Democratic party, as fol.
lows:
"The Democratic leaders just now
are in the anxious and hopeful con-
ditiOn of that historical old maid
who went into the woods to pray
They want eandidate-she wanted
a husband. crooking her aged and
stiffening knees at the foot of an old
hemlock tree, she prayed long and
earnestly that heaven would send he;
man. A sleepy owl in the branches
above just then cried out, 'sHoo, hoo,
hoo" "Why any one, good Lord,
will do" responded the anxious vir-
gin. And "Any one good Lord, will
do" says the Demoeratic party"

Susan B. Anthony, having been
chosen by the American Equal Rights
Association delegate to the Nation
al Democratic Convention, will claim
q seat in that body for the purpose
of embracing woman suffrage within
their resolutions. Susan will make
it lively for the representatives of
Democracy. She'll knock very loud
and woe be to them if they don't
open the door. She has gone clear
over to the Democracy. It will be
amnsing to see the treatment she re-
celyes. She has got one argument
in her favor, which they will find il
difficult to get around. She isn't q
"nigger," and that will cover q mul-
titude of sins in Democratic eyes

Rubbish

Rubbish.
/ On many of our streets may be SEE
hoop skirts, which, having outlived
their usefulness in giving shape and
proportion to the persons of the fail
sex, thus entangling the susceptible
hearts of the sterner sex, have been
set as traps. apparently, for the pur-
pose of entangling the legs of the
aforesaid stern people. Old tin pals,
pans, cups DC, are allowed to lie
around week in and week out. Bill.
lets Of wood, boards full of nails,
barrel-hoops, and every internal spe
cies of torture for man and beast, may
be found in both streets and alleys.
One day last week, a citizen of this
place, in driving along one of our
principal streets, came near losing q
valuable horse by. a long stick, which
was lying in the street, flying up as
the animal stepped on one end,
striking him in the bowels and caus-
ing q serious wound. If there is
an ordinance against thus filling the
streets and alleys with rubbish, let it
be enforced. If there is none we
hope that the Town Council will take
immediate action looking toward a
better state of things.

No Celebration.

No Celebration.
The adjourned meeting last Satur
day night was but slimly attended
No reports were made from the fac'
that no committees were present
After some little conversation, the
few present adjourned until Wednes-
day night, when the.sa apathy was
manifested. 1t is clear that what
little enthusiasm was exhibited when
the subject was first announced, has
melted, and our readers can now look
out for other places where to enjoy
Independence day." 1t is a shame
that there is so little public spirit in
our people.

Something Must Be Done.

The Commissioners are putting the
covered bridge into repair again
A gentleman who claims to be posted,
says that it will avail nothing so long
as Carnahan sells goods so very
cheap. What with the heavy loads
of goods taken across that bridge,
and the shakes it receives from roof
to turret, occasioned by the hearty
laughter of those SO greatly pleased
by the bargains secured at that pop
ular store, repairs seem altogether
out of the question. The Commits
sioners must either prevail uoon
Carnahan to leave town or build q
new bridge. and he vows he won't
leave. The prospect brightens.

Wool Swindle.

Wool Swindle.
One of the most bare-faced and
foolish attempts at -swindling was
made by man named Fonstine, last
week, upon one of our wool buyers.
He brought in large lot of wool,
put up in good shape, and secured
for it a round sum of money. An
examination revealed the fact that
each fleece had been divided and the
each half had been stuffed with pull
ed wool. tags, and filth of various
kinds. We understand that, unfor-
tunately, a settlement has been effect
ed. Instead, the merchant should
have prosecuted him and have made
an example of him. The penalty is
heavy, being Penitentiary offense.
