A MOST BEAUTIFUL PREsENT.-We ought
to be the proudest he that wears bob-tail
coat and choker collar. And we are. Yes
terday we received from Misses Fanny
Cheney, Jennie Smith and Jennie Hughes,
OF Groveport, at the hands of Tol. Hite,
Esq, one of the most beautiful boquets we
have seen this season. To say that we
thank the young ladies for this lovely and
fragrant token of their esteem is but
feebly to express our feelings. The good
wishes breathed for us over the floral Of
fering reach us in the perfumed breath OF
the flowers, and the roses, blushing with
envy to see their beauties rivaled by the
rich carnation of the cheeks against which
they were pressed have caught richer hue
from the lovely contact. That the fair
donors may enjoy health and happiness
and be blessed with the warm love that
animates the hearts of the gallant young
Democrats of Madison township, is our
hearty wish. Thank you, girls, thank you.
In the language of the poet,
''The rose is red
-. The violet blue
Sugar is sweet
And so you"

NIcoLsoN PAVEMENT ON FRIHND SrEEr.
There is movement on foot among the
energetic residents on Friend street to
build the Nicolson pavement on that street
commencing at Seventh street and running
east. We hope this enterprise will be an
entire success, and that the residents west
of Seventh street will join with those now
interested in this improvement and put the
wooden block pavement down on the en-
tire street. This, with the street railroad,
which is now fixed fact, will make Friend

A SHORT HoNEYMooN.-Elizabe Garner
was arrested on Tuesday afternoon for be.
ing terribly drunk. She had so much ben
zine hooped up that she couldn't walk
with it.. And this was the cause of it
Tuesday morning, Elizabeth says, she
was united in the holy bands of wedlock to
her "feller." With the full trustfulness
of her womanly heart she gave her happi-
ness to his keeping, expecting him to love
and cherish her and to buy her hash and
harness. But oh, what faith is man'sI By
two o'clock the same afternoon he had
eloped with another gal, and left her sail
alone for to die" But she couldn't die
without taking poison--and she didn't like
that-or blowing out her brains-and such
death leaves lady's clothes all mussed
up, SO she concluded to do the next best
thing, she got drunk. AS Elizabeth has
made many visits to the calaboose hereto
fore, and probably will make many more,
the Mayor fined her S5 and gave her per-
mission to board at the city's expense for
this ten days next ensuing.

"LIsr, IT'S Music STRALING."-Night be-
fore last we were made the recipient of a
serenade from the Excelsior String Band,
whose name is synonymous with harmony
What is more delightful than to hear in the
Silly hours of night the delicious strains
evoked from flute, violin and guitar by
artistic fingers? There is no delight under
heaven equal to it. 1t soothes the troubled
breast, and by its magic renews the tired
brain. How we pity the man who does moi
love music. AS the Bard OF Eternity has
said: 5-s-1
'.The man that hath no music in his soul.
Nor 10 not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is ft for treasons, stratagems and spoils:
The motions of his spirit are dull as night.
And his affections dark as Erebus;
Let NO such man be trusted' -ssss
Thanks, gentlemen of the Excelsior
String Band, our heartiest thanks. You
can pay us no higher compliment, give us
no greater pleasure than to wake us from
our dreams with the sound ofsuch delicious
harmony as you delighted us with on Tues
day night. 80 20 '@''1
