A Political Hack.

A poor, old, forlorn, spawned, CALLED,
half dead horse, which it would have been
a mercy to shoot, was loose in the streets
Sunday evening, and finally stationed him
self in front of the Tllden and Hendricks
club room. He planted his four feet nrm-
ly, his legs we'll extended so that he could
not possibly tip over, dropped his head and
apparently prepared to die. Just then a
wag came along and fastened placard to
its neck, "Tildcn, Hendricks and Reform. "
A crowd gathered and the amount of
would be wit that was lavished on that
horse would have run the Dan6ury Neps
for month "He is advertising the party
and they don't give him an office or even
supper" said one. "No, and they're going
to cut down his pension too" added an
other. "Old political hack" "Worn out
in the party service "Shows the need of
REFORM" were some of the other comments
At last one of the young men essayed to
ride the beast, when he got landed on his
head for his pains, and found that the
horse, like the party whose standard bearer
he was, was slightly difficult to manage.
1t was noticeable that the democrats in that
crowd Just stood and blushed till they
thought no one noticed them, and then
slipped off. A five dollar bill would not
have tempted some of them back.

Maple Grove Camp.

BoMosEEN LAKE, July 2S, 1876.
Editor Rutland Globe The last of our
party break camp to-day, having enjoyed a
three weeks tent life on the shore of this
beautiful lake. Yesterday, the 27th, was
the gayest and most enjoyable day at the
lake this season. "Camp Hospitality"
established by Messrs. knights, Tenant
and Cotton, of Fairhaven, had become Gel
ebrated far and near as being in reality
just what the name would naturally indi-
cate, 30 their friends and nelghbors of
Fairhaven concluded to make them visit.
Thursday forenoon and afternoon carriage
after carriage was seen bound for the lake.
l arrived at the landing about o'clock
p. m, and still they came. In the evening
the Fairhsven cornet band arrived, and
after serenading Scamp Hospitality" and
finding the host in, they were invited into
the large boat "Upion" aud rowed out on
the lake fronting the camp, where they
gave q splendid moonlight concert. From
another boat was given a display of fire.
works. A third boat contained band of
singers, who Joined in the general melody.
While the lake was fairly alive with boats,
torches, fireworks, music and singing, the
landing and camp grounds were covered
with men, women and children, young
men and maidens, who had come to pay
their respects to Scamp Hospitality" and
have jolly good time. 1t was warm
beautiful moonlight evening, and the re-
ception far surpassed any previous gath
crings l had witnessed at Bomoseen lake.
The band was in excellent trim, and their
playing was very fine indeed. Fairhaven
should feel proud of their band.
saw the familiar faces of several of the
business men of Fairhaven, /. G. Allen,
DR.. Wakefield, Reed, Pitkin, and others.
MIR. Allen to look after young "Camp Al
LEM" DR.. Wakefield always ready in case
of accident. The only accident worth
noting occurred about dusk.
Scamp Allen was guarded by large,
savage dog, chained to tree directly in
the path leading to the tent. Mrs. Allen
passed safely by giving him c gentle pat,
but Mr.. r., who followed, was caught by
the dog, and in his fright sprang back,
caught his heel on a stone and measured his
full length backward on the ground. A
small tailor's bill proved to be the only
damage. For moment there was quite
an excitement. Mr.. A., owner of the dog,
hurled stone at the spot where the
dog was = moment before, and Dr.
Wakefield finding no wounds tn dress
made some remarks derogatory to the dog.
He was very sure that If he owned him,
and he would eat meat, he should prescribe
for him out of his medicine trunk. Peace
was soon restored, and the mad dog was
invited out of camp.
The happy throng remained to late
hour, and then returned to their homes,
leaving behind many good wishes for their
friends of Scamp Hospitality"
Among all lake campers you ever will meet
Knights, Tenant, and Cotton are hard 10 beat.
They know how to do 1t, Just how 1t is done.
With plenty to eat, and we'll seasoned with
run. N. W.
