Specimen Southern Utterances.

All of the New England democrats in
congress, with one exception, voted to seat
John Goode of Virginia in defiance of the
law and the facts. Here is sentence from
Goodies speech: "Can you cast your vote
for the man who sat in congress in 1861
and voted men and money to aid in pre-
serving the Union?" The man to whom
reference is made is Col. Senior, a native
of Virginia and old line whig, who was true
to the Union and who has accepted the re-
publican nomination against Goode. The
New England democrats should be proud
of their partisanship. Vance Of North
Carolina, in his last speech received here,
said: Remember that all of our brave
southern heros who dipped their hands in
Union blood, and all their leaders in the
south, are for reform and rilden."

"Pray be quiet" said his friend, "and

Upon this assurance the Frenchman went
away, after inviting his friend to dine with
him next day. He came next day, and as

There, have brought your snufl-box.

not go as far rs this, as appears not only
from an examination of the proceedings Of

declaration was not made until January
II, l777. The reason for the delay will,
probably, be found in the fact, that while
in September there was larger represen-

July, yet nine Unconstitutional, Claren-

all, is one Of the most important events IL

MICHAEL KARNEs DEATH.-Nearly every one in
this section has heard of Mike Rarnes through
some source or other. Mike lived north of Mas
sllon just in the outskirts of the coal region and
was quite noted character in his way. Laying
aside his habit Of drinking too much occasionally,
during which times he was inclined to be quar-
relsome, Mike was generous hearted man, al
ways ready to help a fellow in need. Thursday
evening of last week Mike was in Massillon and
after nightfall started home His usual path was
to take the railroad at the Main street crossing
and walk northward along the track. 1t is pre-
sumed he started this way, and at the railroad
bridge that spans the river but a short distance
above Main street he was struck by the locomo
tive or one OF the cars of freight train coming
eastward and instantly killed. The next section
of freights came along shortly after the first and
picked up his dead body, conveying it to the de-
pot. Coroner Altekruse summoned jury who
found verdict in accordance with the above
facts, attaching no blame TO the P. Fl W. & O.
R. R. Co., or any of their employees.

belonging to one of the Massiilon torch bearers
who came over to the sigel meeting, and feeling
rather funny, they played Mazeppa with such
