Bourbon Items.
BOURBON, Aug. %.

A large delegation from this place
will attend the ceremonies of laying the
corner stone at Plymouth on Thursday.
Gen. Packard, Republican candidate
for congress, spoke here on Tuesday
evening. Being absent we did not
have an opportunity of hearing him,
but We learn he pulled the wool over
the eyes Of his political brethren ON
the tariff question, the public debt, ard
the collection Of the revenue lie did
not stale, we believe. That "all of the
Democratic members of congress, save
one, were in favor of crushing the tariff
monopolists, and that the entire Rcpub-
llcan delegation from the eastern and
middle states, and a part from the west
ern states, insisted hat the protective
system should be ~perpetuated," nor that
the taxes now paid are as much as they
were during the last years of the war,
nor how it happens that the public
debt, with all the boosted re auctions,
is but little less than it has been for
several years past.
Our Republican board Of trustees
evidently don't know what ails them.
At the last regular session they passed
an ordinance raising liquor license from
$50 10 500. y week afterwards, the
corporation attorney, who hasn't much
of an idea of the etern l fitness Of
things, made the discovery chat the
provisions of the ordinance were not
just the cheese, and an extra session
Of the board was called, the ordinance
repealed, and a new one passed, about
as long as the moral law. About the
only point there is to it. is, that it will
cost the taxpayers from fifteen to TWEEN
t. dollars to pay the extra expense
occasioned by the incompetency Of
the legal adviser of tho board.

j. ". Davis has rented a part Of the
Touring mill, and is buying wheat at

\ fellow who claims to be acting as
agent for a Chicago lottery, has been
perambulating the country hereabouts,
selling tickets for whateyer he could
get. promising the parties hat they
would draw watches. jcwelry, overcoats,
Sc, which would be sent to them i'm.
mcdiately by express. OF course, the
whole thing is is a fraud, and the nu-
merous parties who have paid their
money to this pcregrinating scallawag
will undoubtedly profit hy the lesson
they have learned from hin.
Yesterday morning, Nr. Lotto Gal
cntine fell through the stairway leading

Davis 4 Bros mill, in this place, has
purchased the Lecsburgli mills" ut
Lcesburgh. aud Is dong a lively bust
ness i'll the way of custom work. He
understands the business thoroughly.
and if the sack Of -four he left with us
is a fair sample Of what he can do, We
have no hesitation in saying that his
flour, which will be for sale at Tyrrell
& Chamberlain, will give entire salts
faction 70 purchasers.
