THE ,SPE1KERSHIP.

The fight for the Speakership of
the next House Of Representatives is
growing more lively as the time for
the meeting of Congress approaches.
The fight seems to have narrowed
down between Keer, of Indiana, and
Randall, of Pennsylvania, with the
chances in favor Of the former
A very bitter and unrelenting
fight is being made on Ran
dali by his opponents, and he is
charged with having made com5ina-
tions with the Republicans to secure
his election. In the meantime Ran
dali is making every effort to secure
the place, and being popular and
willy politician, is most formidable
competitor for the position.

Mr.. j. b. Seibert, son of Jacob NJ.
Seibert, Esq, of this county, but now
a resident of Page County, Va, is
entitled to the "beltn as successful
deer hunter. From the Page Cour-
Ter we clip the following account of
his extraordinary exploit:
"Mr. J. B. Seibert, of this place,
went to the Fort Mountain last week
with a party on a hunting expedi-
ton. On Thursday three deers Ia
large buck and two does) approached
the stand assigned to Mr.. Seibert,
when he fired one barrel, killing the
two does, then mounted his horse
and rode to another stand by which
he knew the buck would pass, arriv-
ing there the distance of one half
mile ahead Of time, and with the
other barrel brought down the buck,
thus killing three deers with two
shots. Get out Of the way, we small
fish ! Millers y may know how to
grind, but killing deer seems to be
out of their line. We return thanks
for yenison sent us. We wish Mr..
Seibert frequent returns of similar
luck. Deer meet is not so dear after
all when it comes i'll SO fast"
In private letter Mr.. Seibert in
forms us that the dogs were within
three hundred yards of the deer run
ming at full speed, when he shot the
two first. He would like to know if
Mr.. Philip or George Showers, or any
other deer hunters in this "neck of
woods can beat his lucky shots. "

Equal to the Emergency.

In one of our neighboring towns
the other day young married cou-
pie met with an experience that was
good. They had left the hotel and
were proceeding up one of the prin-
cipal streets, and when before the
court house the newly-wedded dame
felt her skirt escapidg from the ten
der ties of her pull-back. So delicate
a crisis, however, must be met
What did she do? run, or scream, or
faint or hail passing carriage ? No;
she sliced hold of the emergency with
presence of mind-stepped gracefully
to one side, let the gaily colored APP
parel rustic to the pavement, step
ped up and out; reached for the ''ar-
ticle and hid it in the warm embrace
of her shawl. She then assumed an air
of radiant disdain and continued her
walk with her husband. Evil to him
who evil thinks.

A sharp Trick,

A few miles from this place in an
adjoining State, there lives, worth
less fellow, whose principal failing is
an inordinate love for strong drink.
Too lazy to work ,he has to depend on
his wit to supply the necessary liquor
for a spree. A few days ago he
made up his mind that he would
have big drunk, but an investiga-
ton of his effects revealed not q
nickle. Here was dilemma, but
Jim 1--WE call him Jim because it is
his name) was equal to the emergen-
cy. He procured a two-gallon jug
and went to the nearest grocery. He
marched in boldly, and inquired of
the German woman who kept the
store the price of the best whisky.
After higgling good time he agreed
to take a gallon. The woman drew
the liquor in gallon measure, and
jim held the jug while she poured it
in. lie then drove the cork into the
jug and gave it a few preliminary
shakes, and telling the woman to
charge it, started for the door. But
the old woman couldn t see it. Jim's
account was already too long, and she
demanded the money down. Jim
tried all his persuasive powers prom
Using to pay tomorrow, all the time
shaking the jug. But the woman was
memorable and demanded the money
for the whisky. Finally Jim, appar-
emily satisfied that he could not beat
the old woman out of the whisky,
told her to get the gallon
measure and he would return the liq-
uor. The old woman got the mea-
sure, and jim, after another effort
to get credit, slowly uncorked the
jug and Reluctantly filed the gallon
measure. The old woman emptied
the measure into the barrel and gave
Jim a parting blast for the trouble
he had given her. Jim walked leis-
urely up the road with a broad grin
on his face, until out of sight of the
grocery, and then uncorked the jug
and took a long pull at it, and in less
than an hour he was blind drunk. Be
fore going to the grocery he had put
a gallon of water in the jug, and af-
ter getting the whiskey in it, and
while palvering with the old woman
had given the jug a thorough shak-
ing, making grog out of the contents
and when he filled the old woman's
measure, he had gallon of grog left.
