That man Brown, Of the Clarion
Democrat holds spite about the longest
of any man we know Of Although it
has been six weeks since he was laid
upon the shelf, and the other man sent
to the State Senate, the second page of
his paper still teens with allegations
of fraud, corruption, Cameron money,
&c, against the men who worked TO
defeat hih. We are really afraid that
Mr.. b. is suffering with the epzoo,
and recommend rest for him, and
weuld also recommend that he gives
his readers rest on that particular
subject. The modesty of that man is
sublime, as witness the assertion in
last weeks Democrat, that he "along
with other good men was buried polti-
cnlly in October" The "other good
men" mentioned, are Buckalew. Hart.
ley, Griffith, and Foster. Such extreme
cases of modesty are not often met
with, and are truly refreshing in these
days Of "cbeek."

Cork MdDingS make n more luxui ious
! bed than springs or hair, and at ono-half
the cost. The demand for them AT the fac
| tory has been great that orders are only
| filled after great delay. We are now re-
ceiving shipment of 900 lbs, and as it
! is very uncertain when our next order will
be filled, those who are in need will do
well TO call early.

The p. o. Boxes are going of
well, and there are now comparatively
few of the call boxes left, and none
of the lock boxes. Post Master Nc
Kay informs us that he is somewhat
troubled collecting the postage due on
papers and periodicals which come to
the Office. Mr.. Mckay does his duty
well and shouldn't be put to the incon-
