JoLLIFIcArIoS AT MAYBERRY.-Earlyo on the
evening of the 10th instant, the Democrats OF
this vicinity assembled at the east end of the
village Of Mayberry, for the purpose of burn
ing tar barrel and parading the streets with
torch lights, in honor Of Mr. Samuel J. Til
den and Hon. Charles B. Roberts As soon
as goodly number had gathered together,
the barrel was daubed with tar and shayings,
SO as to be easily jgnited; after which pole
about forty feet long was inserted and raised
amid the most enthusiastic cheering. The
next in order was the trimming of the lights,
and then two large cotton balls wrapped with
wire and well saturated with turpentine were
ignited and thrown up aud down the street,
which resembled a meteoric scene. Afterthe
balls were consumed, the procession marched
from the east end of the village to the west
end, and thence back to the centripetal part
Of the village, (which is right opposite Mr..
VIM. l.. Fleagle's store,) where tho process.
sion halted and gave Mr.. Tilden and Hon.
Charles b. Roberts three cheers each. This
being done, the procession proceeded back
to the east end, and set FIRE to large pile Of
pine shayings, which had been hauled there,
and sprinkled with two gallons of coal oil for
the occasion. After this the ignition of the tar
barrel took place, but as strong gale of wind
was blowing from the south, the scene was
somewhat destroyed The barrel burned
about half an hour beforeit fell to the ground,
during which time cheers were frequently ut.
tered for Messrs. Tlden and Roberts.

CousrRY PAPERs.--We heard man the
other day arguing that tho city papers are
cheaper than the country papers, because they
give more columns Of reading matter for the
money. Do the city papers ever give you
any home news I? None. Do they contain
notices Of your schools, churches, meetings,
improvements and hundreds Of other local
matters Of interest, which your paper pub
fishes without pay? Not an item. Do they
ever say word calculated to draw attention
to your county and It's numerous towns, and
aid in their progress and enterprise? Not a
word. And yet there are men who take such
contracted views of the matter that unless
they are getting as many square inches of
reading matter in their paper as they do in
the city paper, they think they are not getting
the worth of their money. II reminds us Of
n person who took the largest pair of boots in
the box, because they cost the same as the
much smaller pair that fitted him.
