EDITOR CHRoNICLE:-Our quiet little
"Corners" has had its quota of speeches
from the adherents TO both the leading
political parties, and if we were to rem
der judgment upon demonstration, the
friends of Horace would certainly "take
the turkey" Greeley powder may be
heard nearly every morning, in the
vicinity ofthe public square, to the great
satisfaction of 1.-THE boys" who do not
fail to ring out three cheers for Grant at
every discharge of the "well known
muskeL." But as the demonstration is
all on n side in regard to the party
leaders, and as said demonstration con-
sists of powder only on that side. so is it
me sided here, as the election (OUt. Sthl
will abundantly prove.
Mr.. NJ. {. Hart spoke for the Republi-
cans, aud Messrs. Sutlif and Ensign for
the Coalition. Mr.. Hart reviewed the
history of the Republican party under
President Grant in a ann creditable
to himself and the aus he sustains
By force OF circumstances the speeches
Of Mr.. Greeley's advocates turned upon
the representative men. MI. Sutlif
occupied a half hour or more in cover
ing his tracks" as he departed farther
and farther from his old tramping
grounds in the Republican camp.
The Academic Institute, under the
instruction of the Principal, W. ]. Bow
en-, and Miss f. J.. Day, is in the midst
of its fall session, and is prospecting
reasonably well. Students are joining
for the remaining half of the term, which
i an indication of success on the part Of
the new teachers.
Rev. Mr.. Prosser, the Methodist sp-
pointee to this circuit for the ensuing
wear, preached his first sermon last Sab
bath. We congratulate the members Of
that association on their prospects for
instructive and entertaining preaching;
and while the retiring pastor has the
prayers and friendship of all who listen
ed tn his gospel dispensations." a warm
W .leome is extended to the stranger.
And while we were requested not to
pass judgment upon him as a sermoni-
yer, I presume we may be allowed the
liberty of saying that we overheard two
of his oldest auditors remark that they
"could not hear half he said.' Aged
ears hear with difficulty.
The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Sidney
Mason assembled at their house Monday
evening. Sept. 3Oth, for the purpose of
celebrating their silver wedding. The
large number of guests present furnish
Ell conclusive evidence hat "Sid' and
his "silent partner had progressed not
a little since the birth of the eldest
brother of that occasion. The weather
gods were propitious and ''all went
merry as a marriage bell" Appropriate
speeches were ma ie by every body who
could be induced to make them. That
by the "blushing bridegroom, a." wherein
lie enjoined upon 'all young men pres
ent to provide themselves with plenty
of greenbacks before committing matri-
mony, and to ascertain whether the fair
one enjoys the exercise of pulling hair
or not was especially fitting for the
hour. DR.. Bushnell, one of the two
Oldest persons present-both born in
eighteen hundred-made some very
timely remarks, drawn from a long and
useful life. On the part of the fraternity
of bachelors, Mr.. Andrus Bushnell be
ing called out. stated that remarks were
unnecessary from him as he had moth
ing to say on the subject" 4 lady,
who understands "the subject" asked
brother B. if he had mo feelings on the
subiect?" The manner in which that
gentleman thereupOn left his retirement
and marched straight up to the question
err, made it painfully % evident that
deep feelings on 1.-THE subject did
exist under his waistcoat. The evening
passed at length and the remark, that
was one of the best times 1 ever had"
fell from many a smiling pair of lips.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mason desire to return
their warmest thanks to their numerous
friends for the tokens of friendship left
them, and for the interest manifested
toward them in the kindly greetings re-
ceived upon the happy occasion. y.
