The Other Side.

Mr.. EDrroR:-In yesterday mornings issue
of the PRESS 1 saw an item saying that the
drum beat in Market Square had got to be an
unmitigated nuisance. Now, Mr.. Editor, al
low me to say few words in regard to the
drum corps in Market Square. A lumber of
times we have paraded the streets and have
been made fun of just because we conld not
drum as we'll as some other folks, and now if
we practice we are called nuisance. What
we all have been trying to do is this: To prac-
tice as often as we could so as to make good
appearance on the street. hope, Mr.. Editor.
you will put in word in our favor and oblige.

Did she catch her lovely floating hair,
For. tying her bonnet under her chin,

Where the wind comes blowing merry and

Aud Il blew the curls a froliesome race
All over the happy peach colored fsce,
Till. scoldlng and laughing. she ued them IN
Under her beautiful dimp!ed chin.
And IL blew a color bright as the bloom
OF the pinkest fushia's tossing plume.
All over the cheeks OF the prettie-t girl
That ever Imprisoned a romping curl,
For, tying her bonnet under her chin,
She ticd q young mau's heart within.
Sleeper and sleeper grew the hin;
Nader, merrier, chillier still
Tho western wind blew down. and played
The widest tricks with the little maid,
As, tying her bonnet under her chin;
She tied q young mans heart within.

To play such tricks with her floating hair
To gladly. gleefully do your best
To blow her against the young mans breast
Where he as gladly folded her In,
And kissed her mouth and dimpled chin!
All, Ellery vane. you little thought,
An hour ago, when you besought
This country lass TO walk with you,
Aftef the sun had dried the dew,
What perilous danger you'd be In,
As she tied her bonnet under her chin.

JUDGE CowEN is elected to tho Ohio
Constitutional Convention from Belmont
county by the unprecedented majority Of
1000. The St. Clairsville Gazette Dem
in trying to account Tor such an astontsh-

the part Of the temperance people about
Gainesville to make Mr. COLLINS the tenn
peranCe candidate. They issued secret
circular claiming that Mr.. COLLINS was q
temperance man and that Judge COwEN
WAS not. The circular helped the Judge
and hurt Mr. COLLINS. The Gazette does

and II SO, docs aSi after Endorsement TO the
order Of particular person change II TO
an "order" chCCk?"
The answer is:
1.-THE original payee Of tho check has
placed on the back what legal authorities
call his blank Endorsement, and the legal
rule ls, 1t is always 10 the power Of the
holder tot oil up any blank Endorsement in
tho name OF any person he may choose;
and thereby to restrain the negOtiability
OF the instrument to those who can legally
acquire right under such Endorsement
The true way therefore for our cores
pOndenls Is to write over the name Of the
original pAyee the words, Pay W. g. p
or order. The intermediate bunk in
dOrsrmCnts will not limit the operation Of
the rule, and if W & P then indorse it to
the cashier, that is ample protection, Or
astill shorter method is To write above the
first name, Pay John Smith, cashier, or
order" which will answer the same pur.
pose. The subsequent Endorsement, as
proposed by our correspondent, while it
might be held as sufficient notice against
loss, is not the legitimate method"
