'Ne have it from the most reliable sources
that General Grant, 10 whom the people had
placed the most unlimited confidence and who
was elected by the largest popular majority of
any other president in the country, WILL after all
tnrn out the very worst man ever placed in the
White House. We say this more in sorrow than
in anger, and yet we are compelled to announce
it to our readers as one Of the unmisiakable con-
clusions of the times Sad and humiliatipg as it
may seelE, il is nevertheless true, and, 40 pub
lie journalist, we feel it to be our duty to apprise
the subscribers of the True Democrat in time so
that when 'be crisis comes they may be prepared
for the worse.
General Grant will turn out one OF the meanest
and most contemplate presidents ever elected by
the people. This, will no doubt, be read with
sorrow by some, with amazemen, by Others but
least the reader may grow too nervous over the
encouragement, we will qualify by saying that on
the IN OF March next Gen. Grant will tHrN out

WESTON AND His CoUNTEnrElr-AN AMUSING
Hoax. BURLINGTON, W., February l.-On
Saturday evening a fictitious Weston passed
through this city, clad in military uniform, and
followed by three two-horse sleigbs. A multi
tude of persons walked with him through the
city, and he left US amid the light OF bOn6res,
asserting that he would rest over Sunday in
Swantou Falls thirty-two miles distant. This
morning the genuine Weston came into the city,
having walked from New Haven Centre, Addison
county, to this place, distance of tbirty-two
miles before breakfast. The whole city was as
tonshed. Mayor Ballou, who had paid his res
poets 10 The sham Weston, called on the real
pedestrian at his hotel and after short CONVEX
satiou became satisfied that he had hohl of the
genuine article. The affair has created much in
dignation. 1t is said that the walkst was person
ated by Two students of the Burlington College,
who took turns in walking through tie various
towns and villages, and rode through the country
in a sleigh.
The real Weston is now nearly two days be-
hind time, and is much annoyed by the sham
affair ahead of him. II is reported that the people
of ST Adams have been humbugged in the same
manner Weston left here at 100, and will walk
hence 10 Rouses Point. n Y. 535 miles from
Bangor, before stopping. He is still cunfident Of
making up lost time. The young lady who fol-
lowed the sham Weston twenty-five miles in a
cutter, Tor the purpose of presenting him with a
pair OF woollen gloves of her own manufacture,
is greatly mortified. Her brother threatens ven-
geance on the mischievous students.
