SQUIRREL SAIT.oRs.-Thc Watkins N.
" Democrat relates this story: Robert
Burliug, Esq, who lives on the east shore
of Seneca lake, nearly opposite Coal Point,
in the town OF Hector, informs US that in
the year 1882 he resided at Hector Falls,
also on the east side of the lake, and was
building a boat on the west shore. He
therefore had occasion to cross the lake
several times in his skiif; and some days
he met from fifteen to twenty squirrels
CRUISING over from the western to the cas-
tern shore on bits of bark ard chips. The
wind being from the west when these voy-
ages We're made, the ''navigators'' always
had their broad tails upfor sails, which EN-
abled them 10 make good time, and reach
their destination before night. Their fa-
vorite season for crossing over seems To
have been iii the fall, rs it was at that time
of the year when Mr. Burling met with
them III the largest numbers.

PUEBLO DUTY There ism particular
difference between the payment of pri-
vate and public debts. When individuals
get in debt the only way ont OF it is to
save more money than they spend until
they can pay. Nations must pay their
debts in precisely the same manner. This
being the case it becomes the duty of the
people, precedent TO all others, to reform,
every branch of government, so that ex-
penses and consequently taxation may hc
reduced, and the public debt paid. First
of all dishonest officials must be turned
out, and honest men put in Office.

A WelI.NIerited Suceess,

As contrasted with fortunate chariatauism
well-merited success is less frequent than It
ought to be. Puffery, blatant assertion and
coined recommendations, too often, for In

medicinal compounds intrnsically worth
less at the expense OF really deserving re-
medies, and 10 the grievous detriment Of
the sick. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
tonic Alternative which has achieved one Of
the best merted and most signal successes
of tie nineteenth century, has never relied
upon such methods of manufacturing a re
putation. nor has the competition Of coun-
terfeit tonics ever affected IFS reputation In
the slightest degree. That II Is the best

The Telegraph's Saturday article
on the question raised by the Mar
shall Herald, is sound and able
one; lofty patriotism, and sub
lime faith in the integrity of the
two illustrious men named, breathes
in every line, and we believe 1t is
well-grounded We are prepared to
say that the rumored coalition
which the Herald speaks of has no
existence other than that given it
by those who are alike, enemies of
Governor Coke, Col. Lang and Lieu
tenant Governor Hubbard. II
would be difficult for such thing
10 be on foot and we remain in ig.
norance of it, because our position
is such that it could hardly be con.
cealed from us, and upon general
knowledge of the men charged, we
would brand the rumor as false.
We know the feeling which per
vsdes the minds of both Governor
Coke and Col. Lang, with regard to
the illustrious President of the Sen
ate, and can safely say, that such a
coalition as,the one named by the
Herald cannot exist, or il it should,
il has never come to the ears OF
either of the alleged parties to it.
1t is foreign, in every sense, to every
particle of public record made by
these men. The design TO "sheli
Hubbard" is a figment from the
brain of a man who can never
"shelf'' anybody, to hurt, and the
Bawl's indiscreet attack upon him
has only lent color to the unfound-
ed rumor. It's grotesque effort to
explain, is an evidence of its can
dor, at least.

We are in receipt of a private
note from Worthy Master Lang
disclaiming in energetic and unmis-
takesbIe terms, any desire or inten-
tion of engaging in political affairs,
personally, or in the interests of any
man or party, but vigorously main
tanning his right to do so, if he so
desired. Now, the absolute legal
right of course we readily concede,
but would take issue with him upon
the policy of such step, were he to
maintain that it was good, and this,
we take it, is about all there is in
volved in the matter. We propose
to defer its further discussion du-
ring the Worthy Masters absence,
he being in attendance upon the Ma.

simple declaration is quite suffi
cient, for no man in the State has Q
