LrAsr,s TAVERN.

KNOW Wnnt tnat means. I've lOOked onto
all the walls about here and don't sec
nothen. It's myterious talk, and there's
somethen sed about BelshazEer, but ]
haint no acquaintance with him neither,
As you pass the streets Mites you can heer
grones from the houses as though some
boldly was into crate distress, but das-
sent go in to see what's the matter for
fear may not be the TELLER what's wanted.
Poor Evers, how his groneS distress the
nabers lie ses he staked his awl onto
the bad faith of Bolen Green, and now It's
all gone up. Next to Evers in distress, is
Nuten. Hes generally sly and cunnen,
but this time he mistook a little Bolen
Green wind for genewine harrycane. Jo.
b,gins TO see where he missed il. His
wales beets the howlen Derviahers and give
'em two or three wales into the game.
The biggest thing out is our little engine.
II it don't make us votes what will we do ?
Tru, it aint long for this here place, but it
haint got to be sent back till alter election,
and lots of foakes thinks its reel bony f.
dy transackshun. That's all Just as it
shood be. Well laf at EN- when the thing
is over, perviden there is any laf left into
us. Reports for the past few days, don't
leave much rune for laffen on our side Of
the house. The foakes is lenven on us in
to plattoons, and by next Tuesday, there
wont be many men left 10 tell where the
rest of our men has gone to. Jo Nutens
certifyen that we'd taken piles of money
out OF the county treasury to bid our
bildens done the bissiness. The foaks
about haf thought it mite be a Perrysburg
ly till 10 certifyed onto it and that settled
the hash for us. People may stand lit
tie lyen, but when you add stcelen TO it,
there aint no fun into it. That's whats
the matter with us.
We've all been maddern wet hens sense
Saturday mite. Canary spoke at Pember-
Vile, and Jack is a reglar little Georgy
He can't ly. He told the foaks that all
our charges about the Perrysburg deeds
and taken the pepel for the Perrysburg
bildens was pack of lies. He said as
how the deeds was as good ns any farmers
deeds-that the bildens was all right and
that there want no danger Of taxes. That
was cheeren news TO the pepel out there
and morne fifty men turned clean around
for Perrysburg.
These things is dscouragen. And then
you went and told our hired men that they
was haf way into the pennytenshary, and
they are fritend about to death. They
wont be here to dine with us on election
day and we're short of mummy and votes
both. Its all wurken us up, and there
naint man smiled into our town sense the
Fare, except the sheriff, and he's Perrys-
burg man. He's Jest laffen all the time
and seems to think our retchedness is
very funny. But if antisipashun causes us
such retchedness, what will realizashun do
for us! That's hoss of another cutler.
Bruther Latshaw haint drawed a peace
full breth sense the Fair. How he cusses
Reed for gitten him into that scrape Jest as
the bitter cup was about to be past. He
could stand yaller sand into his eyes and
eres, but not to be mere Court and set on
to the jury, is morne he can bare.
That we're gone up, is gener ally conse-
ded out here. Sum ses it is because Everp
has assOoned to run things, and others sen
its Shannon, and others Day, and sum one
thing and sum tother. 1t aint no use of
cryen over split milk, but few teers Just
now would afford amazen releaf. A weke
caws don't want weke leeder. That gifts
too much wekenes into it and that's what
ales us-too much wekeness. Our sores is
numerous and deep. Our inwards aint
right and in fact we're disesed threw and
threw. The foxes are Jest beginnin TO see
how holler our pretenshuns is, and how
esey it is for us to forgit to do as we prom.
ise. Them things cum home TO roost
They're a rooster onto our heds now, and
they aint partickler about there droppens
neether. So it COWS, and We liant help it.
We've made a nasty nest and laid down
into it. That's what's the matter. The
trooth is, it would be too bad to put sun
OF our fellers into nest what was no
more or less nasty.
We're goin to die into the last ditch
Senter ditch. That's a good ditch to die
into. 1t leeds to better land and we
don't no of no other way to git there.
We've got some sly old Demmycrats
here. They're playen it fine with Shro
der. They stuff him full of their perfes
shuns Of supporter him, but he has heert
of their talk before. lie remembers sum
then about their bond, and has pade sun
tackses for TO bid cur bildens. He ain
no yellerhRmmer TO be cawt with salt ontC
his tail. FREEDOM township begins to Sc,
things ms they is and will vote more a
they orto than they did before, and tina
makes us all feal leetle mite sick. !
don't take so very much to make us sick
ish. II Gums on nifty easy Jest now. Gu
sistems invite it. After next Tuesda,
Well all be down with a regular fit o
sickness. We feel il cummen. Doe. Man
vel ses rs how we'll die from taken to
much Of our own medicine, and the Do
is genuine prognostcatcr.
Ii we had ackted fare and onest, this bit
ter cup wouldent be haf so bitter. Meme
ness what wins may hold up its he'd bu
when it fales, who can tell anything abou
how bad il is? We rely onto imports
voters, and they're poor reliance. They
are wus than bilden onto sand, as Latshav
ses. The truth is, things seem to be slip
pen from thunder our feet. Nuten declal
es that he never before made sich nil
take. How he cum to git into the ne:
with Evers, shannon, Brure, and them sea
ly fellers, is the mistery to his frendl
Sum men, you no, can be charmed b
