be very extravagant statement, but that

On last Friday afternoon Lauren Cum
mings, of this city, young man of about 81
years of age, was suddenly killed near the

"a Democratic meeting was held at Hol-
combe Hall, on last Thursday evening. Hon.
John P. Stockton, John T. Bird, Esq, and
Alvah A. Clark spoke for Z reform. Stock
ton and Bird are gentlemen and made good
speeches considering the cause for which
they spoke. Clark is miserable speaker and
a worse candidate. To elect him to Congress
is to boldly give the lie to every profession of
reform. Where he is best known he is most
unpopular and while we do not feel inclined
at present to state the charges that are
brought against him, they arc without doubt
sdch as to utterly unfit him for the position
to which lie aspires.
