Home Again.
Our Rev. Pastor, Dr. Levin. who has
been absent from his Parish for several
weeks attending to important duties as q
delegates to the General Episcopal Con-
vention at New York, returned home on
Tuesday evening last. The Doctor has
been an active and working member Of the
Convention, taking part in debates on
prominent questions brought before that
body. We are glad to see him home a
gain and in the enjoyment of good health.
New Goods.
Our neighbor across the street. Mr.. Jos.
I. Lacey, has just returned from Baltimore
with large and iudiciously selected stock
of goods. He finds his store house too
small to contain all his goods, but, as he
is selling at reasonable prices hopes to
make room by offering inducements to
his customers to come and take them away.
Friend Lacey is one of the few hereabouts
who believe in advertising. and his steadi-
~ increasing business for small beginnings
is one of the evidences of the benefits de-
rived from advertising.
Pole Raising.
Our Democratic friends, in the exhuber
ance of their Joy at the relief of our be-
loved country from Radical thraldom
erected yesterday in the Public Square a
pole, some sixty feet in length, from which
they swung to the breeze flag containing
the significant word "HENKLE." After
the pole was firmly planted, addresses
were made by Messrs. V. Brent, J. w.
Mitchell, and A. G. Chapman, and mas
much as the latter gentleman invited all
to try Martins ''black berry wine we are
sure all were pleased. At night the
'b'hoys" had quite Qualification around
bonfire on the Square, and all seemed
happy.
Or rake Too many.
1t will be seen by the returns from this
district that Mr.. Hagner gets 24f and DR..
Henkle 143 votes, when in fact there were
only $50 votes polled-there having been
found in the box one more ticket than the
poll books of both clerks showed ought to
have been Thereon in other words $50
votes only were polled, whilst 3S7 tickets
came out of the box. How this happened
we do not know. But it is reported that
two Hagner tickets, folded and refolded
together were taken out of the box and
counted separately for him, instead of both
being thrown out as ought to have been
done. Mr.. Davis refused to sign the Ger
titicate of the other Judges unless they
stated the fact therein that there was one
more ticket counted than votes taken.
This, Judges Jenkins and Stonestreet re-
fusing to do, Mr.. Davis made separate
return of these facts.
How 1t Was.
Of course on Wednesday morning we
were a little anxious, to put it mildly, and
as we came down 20 our office we saw one
of our most active colored politicians ex-
aiming very carefully the ground near the
pump. We said tom, what are you look
ing for?" Said he, "a good place to bury
Henkle in" We incontinently left and
went to work. Later in the day the ener-
getic courier of our enterprizing neighbor
found his way into town and brought the
morning papers The good news soon
spread abroad and reached our ears. After
awhile it occurred to US that we would
like to take off his hands that piece Of
ground that our friend Tom had selected
We looked out on the Square for him but
he was not in sight. We enquired for him
and were informed that he was at his quar-
tiers vomiting most vociferously having
been made, as he said, very sick by the
fresh beef which he had placed in his pa
triotic stomach on the morning before at
the Radical breakfast. Thus it was we
were not able to purchase that piece of
ground.
