the office to which we are aspiring. All

for County Treasurer, and assist relative
of his own, who is too much of a gentleman
to countenance such contemplate argu-
ments to secure the coveted prize. Both
these stories we declare to be false in every
particular and we now call upon the astute
politician aforesaid to either make good his
assertions or shut Lis mouth about ms and
our business, and particularly to refrain
from giving tongue to statements in regard
Ia ourself which he does not know to be
true in every particular. We may have no
right to the nomination, and shall certainly
not complain if it is fairly bestowed on
some one else; but we have right to ex-
psct fair play, and believe we have
friends enough who will insist on that being
accorded us, no matter what the decision of
the convention may be.

Without consulting Mr.. Lilly, the stew
ard of the Poor House, who can no doubt,
if he thinks fit, answer for himself the very
serious charges made against him through
the Johnstown Tribune in an article entitled
"A Sufferers Story" we have the authority v
of DIR. Oatman for saving that there is no
truth whatever in the statement that the
unfortunate man referred to left eight
days without medical attendance after being
brought 10 that institution. On the contrary,
his leg was dressed the third day af-
ter and would have been attended to muc h
sooner, were it not for the fact that DR..
Oatnan was unavoidably absent from home
at the time, Mr.. Lilly having made several
fruitless trips to town in quest of him. The
balance of the sufferer story" is no doubt
equally reliable (?), and were it not for the
purpose of making political capital, it
might not have been deemed rthy of pub
lication. More than that, the man Schultz
is either an inveterate liar, or else he is very
far from being the poor unfortunate he
would have the public believe him to be, as
he assured DIR. Oatman and others that he
was the son of wealthy parents in Ger
many, who needed only to know his wants
to supply them; and that, il the Doctor
would put him through" all right, a hand
some gol6 watch would be his reward; this,
and much else of like character.

WE have heard of numerous cases OF men
being absent minded, such as Daniel Webster
Black putting on six shirts, etc. But one of
our near neighbors who is said to be a candidate
out of his house on Monday with the coal
bucket but instead of going to the coal house,
Grew up The Old Oaken Bucket" :or one of
some kind, brimfUl of sparkling water, and
began TO leak out did he discover his mistake.
Then he tried to make his wife believe he was
cfdt.
The Democrat man can't hold a candle to
an incident which occurred in our town some
time ago. A Democratic .lawyer-(we won't
mention his name, for we know Thompson
TO he sensitive on the subject) )-who is very
fond of the good things of life, concluded
Saturday evening that he would have a
couple of nice, plump, spring chickens for
Sunday dinner. To conclude was to act, and
he secured the fowls and started home.
Going to .he kitchen door, he told the SUI
perintendent of the culinary department to
get some hot water ready as he was about to
decapitate the aforesaid fowls. With
chicken in each hand he wended his way to-
ward the fatal block, and seeing the hatchet
on the ground, dropped the chicken held in
his right hand and picked up the instrument
of death, but was considerably surprised TO
fud the chicken making 2:40 time acrosss the
lot. Determined not to be cheated out of
half his dinner in that way, lie dropped the
remaining fowl and started at IL break-neck
pace after the first one, which soon made
good its escape. About this time it dawued
upon his mind, that by some means he had
lost both fowls, for in the meantime the sec
ond one had gone the way of the first. 1t
took him some li.tle time to discover how the
thing was done, but concluding he would
know better next time he countermanded
the order for hot water, saying that upon re-
Election, he concluded a No. / mackeral
would be better for dinner than chicken
