4 Joke on the Doctor.

\ cruel joke was recently played upon
a surgeon living in a colliery district
near Thornley,. Word was brought to
him that terrible accident had occur
red at a colliery in the neighborhood,
and he was urged to lose no time in 60
ing there with his instruments, splints,
lint and bandages. He hurried off ac-
cordingly most deliberately prepared,
and, the news having spread, he was
followed with no less haste by numbers
of the villagers. An accident Lad real
ly happend near the pit mouth. In the
high gale which did so much serious
mischief a few days ago, a travelling
waxwork show, which had been exhibit
ed to the miners, was blown over, and
the patients for whom,he had run him
self out of breath were life-like figures
of Mary Ann Cotton, who had lost one
of her arms; TropmGnn, the French
murderer, whose skull had been frac-
tured, and several other inmates OF the
chamber Of horrors, who had broken
legs or arms, and received injuries
more or less serious. The surgeons
disappointment and disgust deserve
and probably will not receive-pro-
found pity.

Christmas Coming.
BY MARY b. DODGE.

Featherv flakes are dancing, dancing,
In the gray morn's frosty CLEAN;
Heralds they of reindeer pranclng
From the gardens of our dream
From the bright land of the elf king
Where the bonbons gayiy grow
Just like sweets of summer gardens,
When the tulips smile in row.
Feathery flakes are falling. falling,
From the skies in softest way,
And between are voices calling,
'Soon it will be Christmas Day.
Don't YOU know how III the spring time,
Wintry SHOWS are scattered wide,
Ere the lovely purple blossoms
Dare to peep from where they hide.
Featlery flakes are sitting, sitting
Through the chill December air
Here and there. and yOnder drifting,
Making every thing more fair;
Laying winter folds than linen
On the houses and the trees,
Softer than the richest damask
Spread our dainty guests TO please
Soon the bonbons will be falling
As the flakes have fallen to-day,
And the children will be calling
To their patron saint so gay,
"Ahi we know when came the snowta kes
You would come dear Santa Claus;
For we always (yeu remember)
Know the wind way by the straw

That elves have wreaehed with snow,

Something better far than snowtlakes

4 RAM FIGHT.
How IL Kentucky Granger was Worried,

no" kentucky Granger was Worried.
From the Stamford Ky Journal.
Early on Sunday morning a gentle
man walked out, probably for the pllr-
pose of sailing his sheep. After a few
vigorous calls the flock collected around
him, and clamored as usual for their al
lowance. One old black ram, however,
seemed to have something on his mind.
and stood aloof. The owner, seeking
to conciliate him, approached and laid
his hand upon his head. This the ram
resented with a furious charge, which
was repeated until the owner took to
flight. But he was too far from the
fence, and the enemy literally hung
upon his rear with persevering obsti-
macy. change of front was resolved
upon and Immediately effected, but
stu the battery was played with undim-
inished fervor. Soon the parties clinch-
ed, and after a vigorous scuffie they
came to the ground The man could
now do nothing, but his fleece protect
ed his ribs from the furious blows of
his adversary. Both seemed now pretty
nearly exhausted. The man was on
top. and, seizing a stone which laynear,

sheep. OF course the rock was soon re-
duced to fragments; but the man, hav-
ing formerly driven hogs, thought of
the expedient of throwing dust in the
eyes of the recusant ram, and inconti-
nently filled his optics with clay, rub
blng 1t III. He then arose to enjoy the
success of his ruse but the ram riz
too, pause single moment, applied a
knee to either eye. and renewed the
combat. And now the fight was more
desperate than before, and victory
seemed to perch above the sheep. But,
as he put all his power into one final
blow, his almost fainting antagonist
succeeded in avoiding the shock and
catching the ram by the tail and now
the tide of victory turned. A success
sion of furious kicks, administered
posteriori, decided the contest. The
ram cried foul play, but the adversary
fought for conquest. At length the
"tail-hold slipped, and both parties
fed in opposite directions. They will
probably tight another day.

substitute Democratic tickets instead -
Other colored men were chased, when they
had approached within square of the
polls. | heard number of pistol shots,
which, no doubt, were fired to intimidate
and keep away Reform voters. About tif-
teen colored men voted yesterday, but about
fifty voted at the Mayor and Council cleo
ton.
A number of repeaters were detected in
trying to vote fraudulently, aud when the
police were ordered to arrest them, the re-
peaters could always get around the corner
before the police could lay hands on them.

or seventy, but the police were SO near

he escaped. The Democratic roughs had
system of shingle tickets, or smaller tick
cts enclosed in larger ones. A great many
of them were found in the ballot box
Fifty nine more tickets were counted cut of
the box than was shown by the clerks
books to have been voted. Two or three
punches of tickets were thrown out in count
ing which had not shaken apart in the box
The increase of tickets over the clerks
books was no doubt caused by shingle tick
cts.
Democratic tickets with picture of Gen.

There were no small Reform tickets found

We have given the outrage this much
notice in order that the people may be
fully informed Of the means by which their
would-be masters resort to carry out their
purposes; to show that we are to- day under
as INSCRIPTIONS set Of scoundrels as ever
conducted the politics of State or city
"Boss" Tweed, "Boss" Sheppard and
Boss" Kelley are only different from
them in the magnitude of their stealing.
The developments fully confirm, all that the
Reform press and speakers warned tie p'"
pie against in the late campaign. That the
same thing was not done by the Ring in
the counties was because they had not the
power, or did not need to use it, for where
they found it necessary to carry out their
designs, the same kind of process was re-
sorted to, as witness the cases of Bannon
in Anne Arundel and German in Howard
county.
