The Cincinnati Gazette narrates
the following incident:
Some time ago a German came from
fatherland to this city with 100000
10 invest. On the advice of his
bankers, he purchased some Gov
eminent bonds. He has drawn his
interest on the regularly, and was
pleased with his investment. Last
Wednesday be called on his bankers
to direct his bonds to be sold.
"What is the trouble?" was asked,
EWhy do you sell them2" The re-
ply came quickly: 81 don't Ike
these Democratic victories. / sm
afraid of them. Thoy talk to much
reputation" The bonds Wers sold.
With the proceeds 8 draft was
bought on Hamburg, and the money
is on its way back to the old count
ry.
Our friends of the Courier should
demonstrate with that German and
show him the error of his ways.

Jollihcation at Fostoria.-On Tues
day evening last agreeably to announcement,
q train was made up on the L. E, &L.R.
to convey an excursion party to Fostoria to
join in the jolliRcation over the election of
Hon. Chas. Foster to Congress from this dis
district. Two car loads came over from Bel
leVue and Clyde, and three car loads from
this place made up the load, which was aug
mented at stations on the line before reaching
Fostoria. Detachmsnts from Findlay, Tifin.
and other points had already arrived, and
soon after the delegations from Sandusky and
Norwalk put in an appearance. About
eight O'Clock the procession was formed,
marching through the principal streets, and
stopping at Foster, Olmsted & Co.'S corner.
where platform had been erected for the oc-
casion. Here the vast croEd was entertained
by short speeches from Foster and others, and
after time of rejoicing, was adjourned, large
number going to Mr.. Fosters residence, where
a splendid collation. was served 20 all who de-
sired to participate. The occasion was one
which will long be remembered for its sOoiaIi-
ty and good feeling.
It is to be regretted, however, that some
fighters from Tiffin and Fostoria took occasion
to settle their differences on that evening.
Several disgraceful rows occurred, and one
man We learn, was badly cut in the leg and
had to be taken to a surgeons Office for re-
pairs. It was also reported that one man had
been shot and badly injured, but we could not
learn the name Of either.

Another instance Of tho uncertainty, if
not to say unfairness OF the turf, is reported
to Us of Piqua, where Mr.. T. Bush, of this
city, sent his two famous horses, Nelly Bush
and Utica, last week. Nelly's reputation is
too well known everywhere she has run to re-
quire euiogism from this side, and she was
entered in the mile and repeat race. At the
close of the first heat it was distinctly visible
her jockey was not doing his duty and that be
had 'pulled" her. The second heat she came
in full two lengths ahead but in the middle Of
the track-and. for this the judges refused her
the heat. Mr.. Hurdick, who was in charge of
Nelly, protested, and at once left the ground.
with both horses, for home. Utica was not
allowed to run for fear Of also being housed
by similar partiality. Mr.. Bush has since laid
the matter fully before Mr.. George Wilks, ed
itor of the Spirit of the Tunes, and awaits
his decision. That the jockey was not sincere
to his trust was fragrant, bat his certainty,and
faithful promises expressed to Mr.. Hurdick
induced him to let him ride the second heat
We long to see the day when the turf is strip
ped OF many OF these "shufning" discrepan-
cies which so frequently crop up where heavy
betting Is at stake, or very soon the race
course will lose all the prestige it at present
enjoys.
