Mr.. C.H. HILL of Boston, formerly
First Assistant Attorney General, and
who voted for Hayes, says, HE has
no doubt that Tilden was honestly
elected president, and he denounces as
infamous the attempt of the Louisiana
and Florida Returning Boards to count
him out His opinion is that, the sep
arate act of the Senate in declaring
Hayes elected would be absolutely null
and void" Mr.. Hill was a Bristow
man, and believes that majority of the
Bristow men of Massachusetts think
as he does.

Letter From Hogs Falls.

Rdltor Herald:
A young man residing not far from
Ceralvo, whose name l deem proper
TO suppress, has been in the habit OF
falling in love with every fresh face
he meets. And such was the case one
night last week, when all the young.
sters in the neighborhood were invited
to attend dance. A young man, in
the neighborhOod attended, represent
ing Miss Buker; as he was elegantly
dressed and his face well powdered, he
attracted the attention of the young
man, who insisted on having an intro
duction. In due time he was introduce
ed, after which, he asked her hand for
a dance, and danced two or three sets
with the supposed Miss Buker. He
discovered she was preparing to leave
the dance, and requested the exquisite
pleasure of escorting her home, which
was granted. After leaving the house
the young man offered his arm which
was very acceptable. They were
walking and had to pass through a
farm, and at every fence the gallant
young man would lay the rails to the
ground in order that his supposed lady
might get over. They got along well
on a short acquaintance. After they
arrived home the young man repre-
senting Miss Buker, made himself
known. Just imagine his surprise
when he found it was one of his
neighbor boys. So great was the shock
he threw himself on the floor, and lay
there for some time.
We don't think he will fall in love
again soon. He vows he never will
be introduced to another stranger, and
Just the name Buker makes him sick.
Now my young friends be careful
who you fall in love with. A. j.

A PREcEDENT.-We have a prec-
edent from Georgia, which may help
our Republican friends to a solution of
the Oregon elector imbroglio. In the
year 1869, when the Legislature met
and attempted to organize, a great
many of the members elect could not
take the ironclad oath. One of these
was David Goff, of Randolph county,
and the Republicans being in power at
the time, decided that all votes thrown
for him were thrown for an ineligible
person. and therefore thrown away; and
James s. jackson q negro Republican
who received several hundred votes
less than Goff, was declared legally
elected. Accordingly he was sworn in
and served during the term. Of course
this precedent. being against the pres
eut necessities of the Republican party
will be repudiated.

From Stephensport.

STEPHENsPoET December, 1876.
Editor Herald;
Prompted by charitable motive,
and knowing the extensive circula-
ton of your valuable journal, I write
to cell the attention Of the public to
the following incident. A few days
ago two verdant looking youths passed
through our town who said they were
from your region of country. BY their
acts and manners they created a sus-
picion in the minds of some of our cit
liens, that they had probably escap-
ed from one of the States benevolent
Institutions located at Anchorage. and.
prompted by humane motive, 1 write
to put your citizens on their guard, SO
that they may fall into safe hands
and be properly cared for.
They were laboring under some
kind of mental hallucination that they
were officers of the best Government
the world ever saw, and were connect
ed with the Internal Revenue Office,
of this district, but of course this is
not so, as we all know, Col. o. P.
johnson, too well to believe that he
would appoint such weak-minded men
to important positions under him.
The bridge across the mouth Of Sink
ing Creek is gone, and travellers have
crossed in a ferry boat for some time
but now it is hard frozen and people
cross on the ice. These young men
crossed on the ice, but insisted on pay
ing and did pay the ferryman ferriage.
This with similar acts in keeping with
1t, led to the suspicion that they were
deficient in the upper story. Please
give this place in your columns.
Respectfully,
A FRIEND TO THE y UNFORTUNATE.
P. 8. They gave their names but
have forgotten them but remember
that the name Of one had a Matrimo-
nial sound or significance.

To The business Men of Ohio
County.

The HERALD is the only paper pub
lished in this county, and majority
of its readers are citizens Of this and ad-
joining counties, aud its circulation is
principally among that class of our
citizens where custom is worth seeking
for.
The trade of the business men in
this county is confined to retail, and We
sincerely believe that advertising in
our paperis the surest, safest, and chca-
pest way to secure thai trade.
Nothing is ever lost by judicious
advertising. Let the people know
what you have for sale, and they will
come to you to supply their wants.
We hope our Merchants and business
men Of all classes will see and appre-
ciste the importance of making their
wants known through the columns Of
the HERALD.
Our terms are low and our paper
calculates in every part of the county
and the money invested in advertising
with ns will yield the investor fair
remuneration. Try it and zee.
