A BUILDING ON RuNNERs--CAsE's Law
OFFICE Moved TO NAsHUA.-Saturday last
was quite an exciting time among our cit.
liens. As announced last week, Mr.. John
S. Hall had the contract for moving A. G..
Cases building from Bradford to Nashua.
| Saturday last was the day fixed for the eff
fort. There were plenty of men VIII were
] willing to bet that it could not be done,
but the men who had the matter in charge
know no such word as fail. The road taken
is not an easy one for such an undertake
j ing. The building had to cross two rivers,
come through the timber. and over rough
ravines, and it looked like foo hardy en-.
! terprisc. hut the event proved otherwise.
In the morning large force was on the
ground and 1.-THE moving commenced
! Some twenty or twenty five span of horses
and skillful reins-men did the business -
I The building was drawn from Bradford to
, Nashua. a distance of nearl y three miles
by the route taken. and was landed on Mr..
Cases lot on Main street. before dark, and
that too without loosening a single or
piece of siding. We claim that is little
the largest piece of business in the moving
line this season. The building is now be-
inc placed on its foundation, and Mr.. G.
intends to place it in thorough repair
The building was occupied in Bradford by

Mr.. JOHNSON William Cullen Bryant,
the editor of the Erening Post, has an arti-
Gle headed, "a Word with Mr.. Stanton"
in which that gentleman is advised to le-
sign, and not become the agent Of reck-
less politicians in disorganizing the gov
ernment In regard to Mr.. johnson, the
Post says:
Congress may not like his individual
pcculiarities or his political principles,
but he is none the less as much part OF
the government as Congress itself ; and
what is more, he represents nearly rs large
a part of popular opinion as Congress does.
1t may be distasteful to admit it, but it is
true, that the political sentiments of the
President have large following-not on

but aomng the loyal people Of the North.

THE HEARsE.-Of all carriages, perhaps,
that were ever invented. the hearse is the
most hideouS, and there really is no pro-
priety about its build or decorations what
ever. 1t is simply a very unseemly cup
board: and why it should be surmounted
with pl ines, of all conceivable things, no
one, we presume, is. prepared to explain.
