STATUE OF GEN. ScoTT-Y yesterday about
noon an intense interest was created upon the
Avenue and along the route to Sixteenth street
and Massachusetts avenue by procession OF
wagons which conveyed the long. talked of sta
tue of General Scott and bis steed. The cele-
brated work of art was accompanied by Henry
X. Brown, of Newburg, N. Y, the artist who
designed and constructed the liielike represen-
tation of the Hero of Luudy's Lane. 1t was
shipped from Philadelphia two days since,
where it was cast in the foundry of Messrs.
Wood & Co., arriving here yesterday q. m. Il
was conveyed at once in many parts by five
teams to its destination, at the intersection of
Massachusetts avenue and Sixteenth street
northwest, where the pedestal upon which it is
to be placed has stood completed for about two
weeks.
The statue was also accompanied by the Blu
rean brothers, two gentlemen of high attain
mcuts and abilities, the one as founder, the
other as chaser-who have done the work Of
their professions upon this work of art, These
gentlemen, with the designer, Mr. Brown, will
remain in Washington during the erection of
the statue which, it is supposed, will occupy
about two weeks Wash. Rep.

Cured few days ago in the adjoining county
of Caroline, which we give for its sngularity
A gentleman was bound over to keep the peace

friend kindly giving the required security fifty
dollars) The next night while at supper the
pugnacious gent used language offensive to his
friend and boudsman. Whereupon the latter
threw glass full of water in the face of the

to philosophy infamed the spirit Of the pugua

whilom friend in the most approved STYLE

ED. REGIsTER--D Dear Sir: The
editor ofthe Democrat in o late
issue was rather lengthy in bis com.
meDts on the fact of ]. j. Irvine
attending two County Conventions,
lately held at Albany and ] sec IN
the Portland Erenimg Ne'cs Of
this date quotations from the DEM
ocrat, and severe comments on his
Qrvine's) movements. | also no.
noticed in the same issue Of the
Ne,cs that he he'd hoisted his Dem
ocratic banner and raised his war
CRY of"Hnrrah f}r Grover and the
Democratic party" indicating, Of
course, his intention Of supporting
the Democratic ticket. But, in
looking through the columns Of the
Oregonian / noticed thatthe editor
ofthe ,Ne,cs had t; ken a very prom
inent part in, an, Independent con
yention held at Portland. | don't
know-it may be true Democracy
for a man to say he is Democratic
and is at the same time vigorously
striving to secure the election Of an
Independent ticket, but it looks de-
cidedly 'sspotted" to me. al. .,..,al
AS for the editor of the Demo
crqt, when | read that article con
cerning Mr.. Irvine, or think Of that
speech he made at this place, it re-
minds me Of a little incident that
occurred here, in which Gov. i, f.
Grover and Brig. Gen. NJ, V. Brown
were prominent actors, 1t appears
that the Bligadier had become &C
quainted with the fact that the Gov.
would speak at this place on the
9th, and thinking it q rare oppor
tunity to display his oratorical pow
ers, he decided to accompany him.
When they reached our town they
found quite a crowd awaiting with
.fsrerish impatience their arrival,
and the hour Of speaking. The
hour arrived, but as fate would
have it, one Of our stableman had
just succeeded in making a race for
a purse Of t,ro dollars and tHty
cents, in which the contestants were
a boy and a mule, who Immediately
repaired to the race-track, and,
much 10 the chagrin Of the Gov.
and Mart, with about two-thirds Of
their crowd following. But soon
the Coy. got wind oft, and not to
be played out in this kind Of style,
left Mart in charge Of the few re-
naming, aud went himself in quest
Of his absent hearers. He hadn't
been gone but a short time when
those remaining with Mart, think
ing the Gov. wasn't going tospeak,
began to drop off one by one. So
the Gov had not proceeded far be-
fore he was overtaken by Mart. and
the rest Of the crowd. After trav-
cling about q mile through the
mud and water, they reached the
scene Of the race. The contestants
were just coming in on the home
stretch, and the result was in favor
Of the mule, who 1t appeared, had
the most friends, and the Gov. TAX
ing advantage Of this, informed the
crowd at the top Of his voice that
ale had always been q friend to
the mule family" ard judicious
persuasion and promise Of "lots Of
fun succeeded in seCaring an au-
dienCe. 4i
