NAsBY.

All readers of Nasby's letters from
the Cross Roads in Kentucky, are IA
miliar with the habits of the people
at the "Corners." They are Of re-
ligious turn of mind, and their feel
ings are gauged by the condition of
"Bascom's barrep When the barrel
is full they are happy, when empty
they are sad. In ono Of these happiest
moods, just after their good luck In
getting three full 'likkers7 each, they
determined to suppress the infldel,
Bob Ingcrsoll. An indignation meet
ing was held and the following reso.
lutions unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, Tho Publikin party il
lissenin just now to Bob Ingersoll, NV
Illinoy, a middle, which denies the
trooths NV reyclashun; therefore, be

Resolved, That Bob Ingersoll, In
denyin the divinity Nv our Savior, In.
nix mortal stab at the DimOcratit
party, to which q Savior is, especial.

Resolred, That Bob Ingersoll In de.
nyin the divinity Of our Savior, hurtl
our feelins ez Dimocrats, ez It was 70,
us, mostly, that he como into tho world
and died.
Resolved, That when Bob Ingersol
denies the trooth nv one part NV the
holy skripters he denies It all, and
that when he shakes our faith In the
savin NV the thcef upon tho cross, he
destroys the only hope the averidgt
dimocrat hez In a blessed Immortality
beyond the grave.
Resolusd, That when Bob Ingersoll
denies the necessity nv a place u,

A singular wedding took place In
this city yesterday. The contracting
parties were "6andy" and she who
had previously been, supposed to be
his wife. The ceremony was per-
formed in the Jail, Squire Street on

onera, who wero ordered to remain
at the rear end Of the hall, and q few
persons who were permitted to look
inside through tho. CRATES Of the front

There was Q woman, young, and OF

had the circumstances Of her early
life been different, would doubtless
have been an ornament to society,

anxious to bear his name and share
with him oil tho obloquy attached
thereto. But then such 10 woman's

The chances are In case ol
that kind that tho man, even ifhe had
been the cause Of her committing tht

last extremity and left her to beal

felt secret Joy that he was able t.

THAT political Ohio mounteback,
Sam Carey, candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, on the Cooper ticket now boldly
unmasks himself, and advises his
partizans to not vote for Cooper and
himself, but for Tilden and Hendricks.
That cat got tired Of the meal-tub
and has stepped forth in It's true
colors. Tho greenback movement, so
far as the leaders are concerned, is to
hoodwink its former republican rank
and file into aiding the democracy.
Sam Carey, once one of the most
jealous temperance reformers In the
United States, q contemporary Of
Coughs and Neal Dow's, fell from
grace, and taking his toddy, al
lied himself with the democracy,
and was once elected to Congress In
Ohio. He now hates tho republican
party above all things else, and hence
lets pass no opportunity to injnre 1t.
There isno hatred so bitter as mean
man bears toward the object he has
causelessly abused.

Room for More Sheep.

Last year we paid foreign countries
J,OO0OOO for woolen goods, and
I'll 100000 for manufactured goods.
When. we have in this country twenty
million more sheep than we now
have, we shall only produce what
wool we use; and yet there is no
country on earth where it would
seem sheep could be raised 90 profit
ably as in the United States. But we
are coming every year nearer to sup
plying our own markets with the
wool they demand. In 1875 the wool
clip OF the country was nearly 900
100000 pounds, while it 1860 it was
only 100000 pounds. - National
