occasionally been present. From the way
things looked the capsizing Of their shall

serious business can you pray -
"No, | can't; I've heard Joe Quinn do
IL, and I've listened 10 Bill Post, but
can't do it myself"
well, you can sing a hymn, can't you!
For Code sake do something"
"No, ! can't sing here. How can sing
when this boat at any moment may drown
Us both"
"Wcl we must do something religious.
Ifyou can't pray and cant sing let's take
up collection
To this Bill consented. In his compan-
ions hat he deposited thirteen pennies, u
cork screw, and hrol,cn-hlade knife. A.
he did this the wind ltlud and the shallop
made a successful landing.

Is Gratz Brown q pruukard9

The following, from the Hartford
COurant, confirms reports which
have reached US from ahundred diff
ferent sources. 1t is idle to call the
exposure Of such an ofense scandal
ous." The truth seems to be that if
the Democrats have put one Temper
ance man on their ticket, they have
amply made up for it by choosing
the other from the class whom Mr..
Greeley denounces as asots, rum
soakers, drunkards," &c.
"The Meriden Republican having
given a report that GFatz Brown was
intoxicated while in New Haven,
Rev. Abraham Norwood writes to
the editor for evidence, declaring
that if it is produced he will neither
vote for Brown or Greeley. He says
he will not drink a pint Of vile rum
even if it be associated with and
mixed with a quart of pure water
The editor of the Republican replies
that he has the proof, but he has not
permission to publish the names of
his witnesses. But he offers to give
Mr.. Norwood the evidence and the
names if ne will call at the Repu5gi-
can office. Upon the evidence
the editor repeats the charges
with still more particularly
and pOsitiveness. The editor adds
that two of the persons who saw Mr..
Brown intoxicated are very promi-
nent Democrats, and both have occu-
pied high positions in this State,
elected by the Democratic party.
The Register denies the statements
and contradictions. The Repu5li-
cans sweeping charges are made by
Mr.. Charles p. Ives and Mr.. E. B,
Everett, Of MeFiden.n
