A DOMESTIC SENSATION IN HARRINGTON
1t seems, from the last Milford Mutual
Friend, that Harrington hes had " family
disturbance" recently that has involved hus
band or two in too much affection for the
geutler sex. 1t appears that there is nice
pine grove near the tOwn where young folks
pining for " welded bliss" meet their affian.
ced "hy moonlight alone" Among those
who have been attending these meetings is
certain married man, who has been wooed
by the smiles and billet dedur of a young

mi>chief-and stopped some mischief from
being played, perhaps. The husband let

got hold of one of the sweet miS>veS, in which
an hour was designated that evening when the
damse desired tn hold love feast with
said husband. The wife concluded to attend
the meeting too, and told her husband So
This brought him to the confessional, and he
made all due apology for his short comirgs
Finding his wife would go to the pines that
evening IN spite OF all his confessions, prnfes-
slOnS, and enreatieS, he took an early start in
advance to warn the waywArd lass of her
danger. He found her at the appointed spot
and hurriedly telling her that they had heen

GRACE GREENWOoD'S lecture on Wednes-
day evening, in this town, was listened to by
all audience that was better tor quality than
quantity. The lady fully sustained her reputa-
ton, however, and gave a lecture that was
food to the intellectual; sermon to the religl-
Gus; an admiration to the pathetic, and a treat
to all. For beauty of language. exaltedness
OF theme aud chastenesS ana originality OF
humor 1t was characteristic, and We wish We
could say much for the literary tastes Of our
citizens as we could of the lecture, but the size
OF the audience prevents US. The object OF
the lecturer was to show that the great and
good people of the world did not mon0polize ali
the heroic deeds, but that the humble and
even ignoble had many times become not only
heroes but martyrs. This or that position did
not make or prevent man from becoming
heroes-GaribSld marching into an Italian city
hacked hy large army was no more heroic
than Garlbaldi making ta!lOw candles in New
York, though she did not wish to make light
of his aci ievementS. The humhlest soldier had
done deeds more heroic than the most distin
guishcd officer, and the lite child had become
Il martyr tor the safety at a playmate. The

The Mobile (Ala.) correspondent Of the

in that city. We commend the story to

to find these negroes after the election was
over. But.the plan adopted by the Dem

WAS this We have eight wards q de-
tective force was stationed at each ward,
with q fish hook from No. ! to s.. When
a negro who was suspected, presented
himself, they would fasten the hook in his

ward. Then when he went to another
ward and voted, they would find the hook,
which was good evidence that he had vo-

about forty in jail the negroes became
alarmed and gave up their plan Of repeat

The Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Gazette, speaking of General
Grants employment Of the army against
the people for the purpose of controlling
the elections says
It is most remarkable, the similarity Of
the conduct of the President Of the Uni
ted States in 1870, and that of
King George in l77o-one hundred years
ago-and the American people might de-
rive great profit from a perusal of the his
tory of the Boston massacre, and see in
the accounts of that event how thoroughly
history repeats itself. In view, Of what
has TRANSFERRED in New York and other
States, whore the military force has been
used to control elections, and the orders
issued directing q large force 20 be sent to
Georgia to intimidate the people, and, if
possible, carry the election IN favor of the
Infamous clique now robbing the people of
that State. that portion of American his
tcry.is important n significant.

insisted upon his right to quarter soldiers
