was there in the bed. They both
got up and struck light, and, sure
enough, there was great snake in
the bed about thirty inches in length
and nearly an inch in diameter, dark
on the back and white underneath,
with a head, tail, mouth, etc, but
no eyes. The monster appeared to
be full of life and willing to make
use Of his liberty by running away,
but they scured him in a box until
morning, when, in spite Of the ex-
postulations of his room mate, who
wished to preserve it as a curiosity,
Coombs took it TO the bank Of the
creek, saying that as it had come SO
near killing him he would kill it,
mashed its head and threw il in
the creek to float off down stream.
Such are the statements of the
two men, one of whom-the princi-
pal in the matter, Tom Jones, Of
the Sazerac, has known since 1850,
and vouches for as a man of truth.
Although this took place but a

TIVE long letter of Gen. Rosecrans,
declining the nomination at the hands
Of the Democracy Of Ohio for Gov
ernor OF that state, is published,
and as a mastery and positive re-
buke to the old fogy Democracy Of
the day is worthy Of preservation as
Republican campaign document.
He slaps pendleton in the mouth for
preaching population boots Val
landighan out of the party for his
secession sympathies ; spurns Cas-
serly from his presence as a narrow
minded bigot on the question of in
ferior races, and rattles among the
Democratic crockery worse than a
bull in a China shop. In giving his
views as to the kind of Democracy
he believes in, he says 1.-The Dem
ocratic party ought to be party of
principles, a party Of life, Of action
aud OF progress. Fossils ana
fault-fnders ought TO go on the re-
tired list. Leaving to
their opponents all sectionalism and
lavoritism based on cldss, creed, race
color, or national origin, the Demo-
cratic party ought to hold high the
banner OF universal freedom, i'm
partial justice and equality before
the law Of all who live beneath the
flag Of our country. The
Democratic idea favors broad,
rather than narrow basis Of suff-
rage. Prejudgment OF legal
questions as to the payment Of na-
tional bonds, should not be al
lowed to impair the priceless
ualue Of he pubic es'idi. Ev-
cry Democratic platform should
rather seek to raise higher and high
er the public credit. and to satisfy
the people of Europe that the Dem
ocracy is the last party in America
to whine or act reluctantly about
paying the public debt. Dem
ocrats. whose mental organization
or temper does not permit them to
recognize existing facts, or conform
their actions to great popular chang
es. let them, for the public good,
abdicate leadership, and leave the
energies of the people free to act
in the line of life and progress.
Should Democracy become what
the General has indicated in the
above extracts, il may be inferred
he would have no objection to be-
coming their nominee, as be could
do so then without shame, but while
the leaders Of the party whine about
taxes they themselves created by
their encouragement Of the rebellion,
and see Chinaman or negro ir ev.
~ path ready to step in between
them and honorable position, no
wonder a man of true genious and
patriotic impulses should hesitate to
humiliate himself by associating his
honorable name prominently with
men of such growing instincts.

Differences of Opinion.


No two persons can be expected
to see thesame object precisely alike,
as each must look from a different
standpoint. Hence the different
shades and diversities of opinion
There is one thing, however, which
the majority of the citizens of Han
cock county agree upon, and that is
that Henderson IL Connell are sell
ing their large and extensive stock
of Dry Goods, Boots and Shoes.
Hats and Caps, Ladies' Furnishing
Goods, &C., &c atvery cheap prices
How they can do it and make none,
.s a mystery to all. In fact, no pen
son stops to consider. Each custom
er is 20 well pleased with his bar
gain that he does not ask whethGI
they can afford it or not. He buys
and goes his way, and comes and
buys again, little recking what may
be the consequences to the good-
natured gentlemen behind the coun-
.er who dispenses such bargains
Ali, well, it's the way of the world
We all like to get good bargains
md Henderson IL Connell's is tie
,lace to get them.
