ELECTION HUMoR.-In Montpelier

ELECTION HuMoR-In Montpelier
dwells a democrat, who recently made
funeral pyre for the supposed dead
body of the republican party out of
some tar barrels, and left his fire un-
der the charge of stalwart colored
man name Robert Lee, with orders to
protect the same at all hazards. Rob-
ert like "Augustus Orange Blossom
and "Adolphus Morning Glory" is a
"happy contraband,' and was soon
directed by one Fuller to remove the
tar barrels from before his premises,
and on the refusal of the colored Cas-.
sabianca to "leab the burning deck,
Mr. Fuller, who sis most sarcastic
man. remarked that Robert was
nothing but ''poor, miserable, mean
niger" The "happy contraband"
stretched his proud form to its full
height and retorted: ''Look a heah, |
know lse niggah, and perhaps, as
as you sez, l may be mean niggah,
but one thing 1 was sold once for
$4,000, but if your pore misable body
and soul was offered for sale dey
,coulant bote together bring 25 cents"
The impression is in Montpelier that
in this instance, at least, ''the colored
troops fought nobly."

A Hymn.


What if the dreary winters blast
Blow cold enough to freeze us
Its biting breath will soon be past.
If we put faith in Jesus.
What if the paltry cares Of life
Should circumvent and tease us;
Wen grid our loins up for the strife
And place our trust in Jesus.
Let Legislators do their best
OF all our goods to ease us;
Well see how they shall stand the test,
When face to face with Jesus.
Inquistors may put their screws
Upon our limbs to squeeze;
Did not the Christ -dehying Jews,
Do worse than this to Jesus.
One thing is certain fellow-men
The blessed Savior sees us
We'll swindle mortals all We can,
But we can't 60 back on Jesus.

Townsite Survey.

Engineer Martin is engaged in laying
out Section 5 as townsite, or as an ad-
dition to the present townsite. The
streets of the new town very nearly
conform to the streets in the present,
there being slight angle. The present
Main Street is continued until it strikes
the bottom, when it is made to con-
form to the "bench" and follows it to
the river. Lots will not be offered for
sale until re-hearing can be had in the
contested case; then, if there is no
prospect for settlement, the new town
site may be put on the market. The
lots in the new site are fifty feet by one
aundred and forty, are nearer the river,
and by many, will be preferred to the
present location. ~. ,.s..A>.#

There is something we'll nigh stunning
in the good luck Of j. Heron Foster, a
Philadelphia editor, notwithstanding
the expression "a Philadelphia editor

some cheap California land. He paid
little attention to his investment, but

Sheriff Miller was taking up SUBJ
scription yesterday, to send Susan
Johnson, "Shorty," one of the des'ai-
monde, complete wreck in mind
and body, who is being sent to her pa
rents, who live at Atwater, Minnesota.
"Shorty" while suffering with delirium
tremens, was placed under the sheriA's
charge some time ago, and though her
old companions have done much for her,
still the sheriff has had his hands full
and it's time relief was extended. None
have been kinder to the unfortunate
girl than Hattie Hardeman, who has
shown herself woman, big hearted and
true to good impulses, though like
others, s,unfortunate. Champlain, Gould,
and Reece each contributed literally to
send "Shorty" away.

Asa Fisher has been making many
Improvements of late, in connection
with his Billiard Hall, which, by the
way, is popular resort, as it deserves
to be, Asa being prince among good
fellows; always keeping quiet and
orderly house; having two as good
tables as there are made. A club-room
has been partitioned off, which has ad-
vantages not possessed by any, besides
being out of the way and, therefore,
quiet. It is newly carpeted, well fur
nished, light and pleasant. His liquors
are 6rst-class, cigars as good as there
are in the market. Call and see if
these things are not thus.
