OUR NAN ABOUT TOWN.

Our democratic friends feel very sore
over the result of the election Before
the votes were counted they were sure of
having from FIVE to eight hundred major
ity for the Seymour electors in the county
and now, they find to their sorrow that
they narrowly escaped an entire defeat,
as their favorite hiss less than fifty ma
iority. ........A friend of Or Han a
bachelor well known in this vicinity, has
been married-if Madam Rumor can be
credited-about a dozen times OF late,
and has been congratulated on his success
several times by well known citizens. A
few DAYS ago it became certain that he
was married, sure. and as night came on
although it was dark and rainy a crowd
of little shavers gathered round his lone
ly door and commenced a lively tune on
tn pans, drums etc. Delighted at the
honor shown him our friend went out
and enquired wherefore thus and why !!
There was a silence for moment and
then the leader said, Bows this is a sell:
he amt married bit, don't you see, he S
got his old coat on; and straightway the
little rats made for their holes. .........O.
