would indicate as much. If true we

Notwithstanding If Grant retires

up the White House to his Demo
cratic successor in 1877, without en-
barrassing his party by having them
run him again-if this happens, or
the major part Of the programme
here laid down-his withdrawal
then we shall feel like throwing up
our hat, and hurrahing for Haven
We shall say, "Haven knew what he
was about-he prayed right, even if
he felt wrong, and the nation is freed
from the Republican incubuses, from
Grant down. Amen :" Here is the
item from the Gazette, Which we de-
voutly hope is semi-ofIiciaI

President Grant is not a candidate for re-

cumstances, accept nomination. He

life, and he will be all The more respect

ally caught in the machinery of a

was almost instantly crushed to
death. He was a son of Dir. Burch,

county,
I Our community suffers quite loss
by the death Of Mr.. Samuel B. Day.
who died at his residence last Sun,
day. He was taken suddenly sick
at 8 a. M, and died at a. m. of the
same day. He was one ofour oldest
and most respectable citizens. We
saw him but a few days ago wearing
a pleasant smile, and apparently en-.
Ejoying good health bat, alas ! death
has come and taken him away. He
will be sadly missed.
Our tax collector is on the wal
