an exhibition of beastliness on the part of
the chief executive officer of the State, on

himself and the position that he holds and

We thought the story of Gov. Browns

ROMANCE AT UPPER FALLs-THE
OTHER SIDE.-At the request of the
gentleman who considers himself libeled
by an item in our issue Of Sept. q, I'M
der the heading Romance at Upper
Falls" we publish statement showing
The other side of the affair.
A young man and lady-boarder at
Downer's Hotel did on the occasion in
question, with the knowledge and con-
sent of the proprietor, occupy the parlor
but light was kept burning until extin-
guished under the circumstances follow
ing About midnight noises as of per-
son lowering around the hotel and sneak
ing under the windows was heard. To
divert attention the light was extinguish-
ed and all was quiet for few moments,
when one of the parlor windows was suo-
denly raised from the outside. The cur
tain was pulled aside and the intruder
recognized as the hostler, and as dis
carded sutton for the young lady's hand
and the intruder was warned away and
did retreat few feet. His business was
then asked, but without offering a word
of explanation or apology, the intruder
renewed his attempt to force an entrance
at the window He was thrust back,
not kicked senseless nor kicked down.
Explanations then followed and the
hostler was permitted TO come into the
parlor. There was no hand to hand
conflict, no tears of the fair one, no sep
aration of the combatants by the inmates
of the hotel, no volley of oaths except
from the hostler, and no other persons
came into the parlor. The young man
and lady regarded the unexplained in
trusion as a piece of medGlesome caves
dropping. 1t is apporent to every one
that hostiers away at night have other
places than parlor windows for ingress.
MoraI-Eaves-dropping is not very res
pectable business.

- The democratic journals have been
industriously circulating SANDER con.
corning Gen. Grants treatment of Gen.
Rawlins, during the latter's last illness.
This had to be dropped after while,
when the facts came out. Then a new
SANDER was invented alleging the misuse
of the property left by Gen. Rawlins, of
whose children Gen. Grant is guardian
But Gen. Rawlin's brother pricks this
bubble by publishing card in which he
commends in the highest terms Gen.
Grants execution of the trust left him.
- Senator Conkling's new name for
liberal republicans is " Assistant Demo-
Gratis" But it is painful to add, that
the way they assisted the democracy
in Vermont and Maine was very much
like the way the Old Man of the Sea
assisted Sinbad the Sailor.
- One day last week in the northern
part of the State, boy went hunting
and saw bear cub in the top of tree.
He summoned party of boys, who
went with clubs to maui the bear which
was expected to appear when the boy
shot the cub. The first pop brought ii
to the ground. Ii was porcupine.

imp says and confesses that it was his
error in the attempt last week to make
it appear that the Glynns conceal .
