THE TABLES.
We cannot close this hastily written
notice without saying word or two about
the tables, and how they were arranged and
prepared. In the large store room of the
depot building, six tables, the entire length
of the room, with just enough space at
each end to admit one to pass with ease, and
far enough apart to allow the occupants of
each plenty Of elbow space, were neatly ar
ranged and literally loaded with every
delicacy of the season, besides every thing
that could be desired in the substantial line
Meats of all kinds, and in every style, vege-
tables, fruit, cakes, relishes, custards, ETC.,
besides the best of corn and wheat bread,
was piled up in profusion on every part of
the tables How could it be otherwise
whensuch ladies as Mrs General r.
p Nicely, Mrs. Lightfoot, Miss Jones,
Mrs. DR.. Coleman, Mrs. Wells, Mrs
Coats, Mrs Dr. Moore, and q number
of others whose names we do not now re-
member were exercising their taste and ex-
! perience in preparing the same
AT THE FEMALE ACADEMY.
By early candlelight a gay and happy
throng were vending their way to the Fe-
male Academy, where, it was understood,
the devotees of Terpsichore could enjoy
themselves to their hearts content Ever
alive to the duties of the many positions to
which he is called for the amusement Of
others, ". S. Brooks had made his. arrange
ments, and was on hand with full list Of
musicians Dancing began at an early hour,
AMI was kept up until the wee small
hours ca4ls slowly on. a suficiency OF
refreshments were provided, of which all
seemed to partake with relish entirely
satisfactory to themselves and those ladies
and gentlemen who so kindly volunteered
their services in preparing the same
As we said before, the celebration was a
success, and will long be remembered by all
who participated in it. For one, we shall
ever look forward with pleasure to the ami
yersary Of Bolivar Lodge No. 27, l. o. o. E.
for we are satisfied that as the years pass
by so noble an order must gather volume
and strength.
We call attention to an article in another
part of our to-day's issue 1t is from the
Chicago Times, and is worthy of all con
sideration by Democrats and Conservatives.
/ TYe grant readily all the honor due Genera
Hancock for his noble and patriotic course
in his military district, but still we do moi
see that we should give up our convictions
of what is right policy and true honor in oul
party in order to make use of his aYaila
bilIty, his chances of controlling votes from
the war Democrats and other soldiers We
are tired of the war subject, and wish mos
earnestly to heal the gaping wounds made
by it and then bury the remembrance Of Il
in oblivion. Let US have true and tried
| Democrat for our standard bearer; one
whose political record is well known to BIZ
! spOtIess and unchangoable, one who has
been before the people and borne himsel
proudly and fearIessIy.
With such a candidate we will rally t
the old standard all Democrats, war anC
peace, soldier OF citizen We will Join tC
US men of all compilations on party ques
tions but really. conservative. The solier
(who were really Democrats) from the grea
West have already wheeled into line anc
buckled on the armor Of the noble old or
ganization, and need no extraneous fame t.
compel them to vote for the true leader ",
are informed by gentleman, every waz
qualified to judge and who has ust beer
/ "
Democratic soldiers are true to their ole
principles and desire to forget the war
This we believe is the truth in regard to al
Democrats who have not already determined
to run with the ruination party. George II
PendIeton is the one great leader we need
His position before the people to-day i
stronger than any other man; his quiet, de
termined and sensible efforts in behalf 0
old rights and against dangerous Innovations
will more than counterbalance any milit;.r7
fame. His principles have already carried
the Northwest and Pacific States, Kentucky
and Vest Virginia We believe he vii
carry New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland
! We must not be frightened into leaving tht
solid and nutritious substance to grasp at
shadow I'VE shall grant our most hearty
support to the Conservative nominee, but VT
wil1 possess double power when fighting FoI
4 leader so leal and true as Pendleton has
