ELLEN'S SERENADE.


From the Danbury News.l
These of our readers acquainted on
MOnson street, will remember that the
roof of Mr.. FoIeceps's saloon adjoins his
house, and is approached by two win
dOws. One of these windows is in Mr..
Foreceps's bedroom. On this r0Of Mrs.
FCreeeps has spread hesitating tomatoes,
with view to Fastening their ripeness.
Last Wednesday she put five more
with their fellows, making thirty in all.
The FOreceps have q niece visiting
with them, q young lady named Hall,
of Thomaston. She has made the ac-
quaintance of many Of our young peo-
pie, and on Wednesday night several Of
them got together to give her a sere-

requisite instruments the young men
took up a position near this addition
We speak Of and struck upon the in
struments. Mrs. Foreceps was first
awakened by the music, and nudged her
husband. He also RwOke. The music
was grand-not loud, of course, but soft,
low and harmonious. Mr. Foreceps was
very much pleased, and got up to the
window to hear it. Then Mrs. Fore

If could crawl out on the roof and

she, her curiosity increasing. "I'm
afraid they might see me,n he said.
81 don't think they would" she said.
'fTheY wouldn't be looking up on the
roof, would they?' Mr.. Foreeeps
thought moment, and then concluded
no one could see him, as the moon had
gone into bank of clouds, and objects
were quite dim. And then he softly
opened the blind and cautiously crawled
out on the shingles, completely en-
cased in red flannel underclOthes and a
night-cap of the same rich material.
The music still continued, coming up
through the night air in waves Of ec-
static harmony. Mr.. ForCeps sat down
on the roof, and laboriously worked his
way to the caves. Then he lifted HIM
self up TO turn over and look down, and
Just then he stepped on something soft
and yielding, felt his feet give, made
desperate clutch at the shingles, was
too late, gave q piercing shrek, and
shot off the roof and went revolving
and bowling IN among the band,
followed by the tomatoes, aud
madly cleaying the air with his red
ffsnpel limbs. He struck on his
back On the bass-viol, and with one leg
tore the entrails from aH accoTdeon, ann
with the other knocked all the keys
from q silver flute. The man
who played the bass-viol was driven

A woman and Two Children Drowned.
On Friday night, twenty-sixth ultimo,
a man, his wife and two children stepped
into the Mississippi river at Columbus,
Kentucky, while attempting to pass
from the wharfboat to the steamer Hill |
nois, and the woman and two children |
drowned. The steamer had just backed |
out from the wharf, but the light in its
bow so blinded the man and the woman |
that they did not discover the fact, and
they stepped into the rushing river, in

pected. A rope was thrown out and the /

the other, went down with her children, |

Fraud and Corruption.

sraan the Augusta lGa.l Courier and Sentinel
CHARLFsToN, October l.-Our muni-
cjnal election to-day was an Outrage
upon everything like political honesty
ar morality. The Radicals were deter
mined TO carry the day, and to spare no
fraud which could be practlced. Inc
frauds which they perpetrated were the
most opeu and shameless ever known,
even in the history Of elections IN this
State. since the war. Hundreds OF Ne
oroes were brought into the city from
fba surrounding Sea islands, and were
voted at every precinct. The managers
of ali the polls were Radicals OF the
dover class, no challenging WSs
allowed, and illegal votes were
polIed without let or hin
drance. The whole machinery was in
n q hands Of the Radicals, and they us-d
their power in the most Infamous maD-
ner. All the commissioners OF election
were Radicals, and they appOintrd man
ayers. all Of whom were Radicals ana
most OF them negroes. The list Of
voting places was not made public, and
then kept secret tin the last moment,
aud the changes kept secret. This mo'n-
ing developed the fact that five out Of
the twenty-one voting precincts estsb-
lished, without previous notice OF Rlly
Kind. were 10 the suburbs, and their
very existence was unknown to the Con-
sarys,iNes until several hours after The
polls opened. At these precincts, where

riy have been very light, the boxes exhib,
i Heavy Radical majorities. The Official
count hss no. ~ been proclaimed, but

umphed, and that the whole Radical
