this week, we are unable to give the
election returns, but we will have
room and time for them next week,

The Burlington Sentinel, of the
81 ult. speaks as follows Of our Band
who attended the late Soldiers Re-
union in that city,
The Woodstock Cornet Band in
gratiated themselves with our people
last night by visiting several points,
and doing it admirably in the line Of
little serenade at each place. They
visited the hotels and the Sentinel
and Free Press offices, their treat at
the latter being acknowledged by
brief addresses from the editors, and
at the former by something more sub
stantial, perhaps. They also called
on Quartermaster Austin, and he
opened up his stores for their inspec-
ton. This band is one Of the finest
organizations of the kind in the State,
being composed of gentlemen of
standing, who are also very proficient
as musicians, They will be welcome
at the Sentinel Office every time they
call.
If the Age is not so good this
week as usual, the reader will have to
attribute it to the labor attendant upon
election. Where all the labor of print
ing votes, mailing, cutting and put.
ting them into the hands of the voters
ofthe county, falls upon the county
editor. After considerable experience
in the business, and not much reward,
we feel safe in saying that he has his
hands full. It's done tor two years,
and we feel as the Frenchman said,-
ave must 60 home and make some
sleep" for awhile.
Davenport declines, but the COM
mittee decide to run him anyway, and
we sent out votes accordingly. He is
not our man, but we never "bolt" a
regular nomination. We say he is not
our man for this reason-that it looks
very much as if he was preparing to
leave the good old Democratic par
ty, notwithstanding his protestations
against corruption, DC.
