the spirit of some one supposed to be a sub
Jeet OF his Satanic Majesty was called upon to
manifest Its presence by some suitable de-
monstration. All was silent for moment,
ana then came sudden shock, cracking the
plaster overhead, jingling the glassware on
the sideboard, and shaking things up gener-'

Bound TO MARRY.-Two new illustrations
of the truth of the adage that "the course of
true love never did run smooth" were exem-
plified here this week. In one case the
youthful couple arrived here from the classic
precincts of Piety Hill, but the would-be-
bride, not being Of lawful age, could not wed
the object Of her affections without the con-
sent of her step father, who is also widower.
This consent the old man for some time was
not willing to give, and for the reason, as
some of his enemies ungenerously alleged,
that he wished to marry the girl himself
Things looked desperate for while. Finally
the Probate Court was appealed to, guar
dian was appointed for the blooming Miss.

pose no objections) guardian was willing,
when the parties left town armed with mar
riage license, looking supremely happy, and
it is to be hoped the young lovers are now
enjoying delicious honeymoon.
The other case was that of Young girl
about sixteen years of age, from the east eide
of the river, without parents or guardian,
who desired to enter into the bonds of matri-
mony with certain gentleman, but was
prevented from doing so for want of a license.
The Court magnanimously obviated this diff

ANY of our readers afflicted with scrofua,
or scrofuious complaints, will do well to read
the remarks in our advertising columns re-
specting it. But little of the nature of this
disorder has been known by the people, and
the clear exposition of it there given, will
prove acceptable and useful. We have long
admired the searching and able manner in
which DR.. Aver treats every subject he
touches whatever has his attention at all,
has great deal of it; he masters what-he
undertakes, and no one who has particle of
feeling for his afflicted fellow man, can look
with Indifference upon his labors for the sick.
Read what he says of scrofula, and see in
how few words and how clearly he tells us
more than we all have known of this insid-'
ious and fatal malady. Philadelphia Sun.

seymour's Letter of Acceptance.

New YORK, August 5.-Seymour
has written q letter formally accept
Ing the nomination by the Democra-
TIC Convention. He says it was
unsought and unexpected, but he
was caught up by the overwhelming
tide which is. bearing the country on
to q great political change, and he
nnds himself unable to resist it's
pressure. The. resolutions adopted
by the Convention accord with his
views. He delayed a formal accept

gress, for the purpose of seeing what
light the action of Congress would
tnnrow ntoI', upon the interests of the
country. The Congressional party
not'only allied itself with the militia.

bear directly upon the elections in
many OF the States, but holds itself
IN perpetual session, with the avowed
purpose of making such laws as it
shali see fit, in view of the election
soon take place. Never before has
Congress taken q menacing attitude
towards elections. Under the inf1u-
ence OF Congress, some of the States
are proposing to deprive the citi-
gems Of the right to vote for Presi-
DENTAL electors; thereby the first
bold step has been taken to DESTROY
the right of suffrage. He refers to
the demands of the tax-gatherers.
says men areadmitted representatives
OF some of the Southern States with
declarations upon their lips that they
cannot live in the States they claim
TO represent, without military pro-
lection. They owe their seats to the
disorder ut the South; and that very
fact prompts them to keep it in
anarchy. In vain, the wisest Re-
p1uIblieans protest against this policy.
There Is hardly an able man who
helped to build the Republican or
ganlzation, who has not, within the
past three years, warned it against
excesses. while many have been
driven from its ranks. Personally.
the Presidential Office has no attrac.
tlons for him. During the war he
had given 16,0 commissions to
officers of the army, and knew they
demand the Union they fought for.
The largest meeting of these gallant
soldiers ever held endorsed the ac
tion of the Convention. He does
not doubt that there will be a tri-
umph. which will bring back peace
and prosperity to our land, and give
once more the blessings Of wise,
