out at about four O'Clock, for home. The

plodded on until becoming weary and unsat-
isfed with the looks of the country, as far as

the distance from Augusta-"Eourm miles -
was the astonishing answer. Talk about

distance to reach home, but, alas, in the

Fine weather last evening for paying of an
election bet by trundling in wheelbarrow a
full grown man weighing nearly two hundred,
! from Augusta to Hallowell, but such were the
conditions of an election bet fulfilled last
evening. Shortly after the tidal wave COM
menced TO be reckoned in Maine as a fearful
thing that was to engu f the republican
bark, Mr.. +. @. Yeaton of this city, proposed
20 Mr. II. 7. Morse, the Chief Engineer of
the Augusta Ere Department, that in case OF
Grants election he would wheel him (Morse)
from the engine house in this city to Hallow
ELL in wheelbarrow but, on the other hand,
if the expected tidal should operate in the
way marked out by the liberals, resulting
in the election OF the poor but honest Greeley,
then Ieaton was to have the ride, and Morse
should be the horse behind. Yesterday
morning, while it was raining like fury.
committee from the beaten party waited upon
| Mr.. Morse TO inform him that Mr. Yeaton
was ready to fulfil his part of the contract,
and at nine o'clock in the evening would be
at the point designated in the agreement,
with wheelbarrow express, to convey Mr..
Morse to Hallowell. We won't make any un-
fair presumptions, but the selection of the
day and the hour led Mr.. Morse to believe
that his friend supposed there would either
be a complete backing down, or that few per-
sons would be likely to see him in the prose-
cution of the ridiculous task. But MI
Morse promptly informond the committee that
he would be on the spot ct the hour named
and give Mr.. Yeatons muscle test of
hDary republican majority.
DARK and stormy was the night"
but horse and rider were on the spot. There
was quite numher present to witness the
send off but few disposed to follow the par
ties to uallowel. Had sufficient notice been
given, and more favorable time been selec-
ted we have no doubt the Tanners would
have turned out, and wife fireworks and mu-
sic made the march triumphal one. Yeaton
started on his muddy way in good spirits well
prepared for the journey. while Morse sat en-
sconced in the wheel barrow, nicely wrapped
in thick overcoat, his face wearing placid
smile. The committee, bearing torches ac-
companied the expedition, and two drummers
furnished music. The horses are sick and our
special reporter did not have suifi:ient conf
dence in his pedestrian abilities to proceed to
HalIowell to notice the progres. Of the par
ties-to note the putting, painting Yea,on,
slipping in the mud, tugging his heavily
freighted barrow up the hills, md almost les-
pairing of ever reaching the city hidden in the
darkness yonder, bordering on the maxim
that & rolling Morse gathers no stone;" the
compliment chief engineer, careless of the
elements. encouraging Yeat0n in his work by
repeating to him the details of the election re-
turns. All this will be lost to the public. No
provision was made for returning home. and
the return must have teen mutually awful,
and if Morse and Yeaton are not hereafter
fast friends il il because mud has no cohesive
power.
