COUNTY COURT.

The County Court last Monday was
about as stormy as usual, Notwithstanding
the Court had been assembled only to
elect q Sheriff, and could therefore not
legally attend to any other business
Still a few of the members would occa.
sionally attempt to get other business
before the Court. Finally it was an
nounced by Chairman Meek that the
Court would proceed to elect a Sheriff.
ERos Kincheloe, Henry Hoss Jr. and
Calvin Mathes announced themselves
candidates. A ballot was taken which
resulted as follows. Mathes Is, Kincheloe
II, Hoss 5. Quite a number of the
friends Of the different candidates worked
earnestly to secure the election Of their
choice, but after the votes we're counted,
with a very few exceptions, all appeared
TO be in good humor. As the Sherifalty
is now fixed for a time, We shall expect
to see more regular business transacted
by our County Court, and less excitemen,
and Buncombe speeches.

The campaign this Summer and Fall
will be the most active that we have had
for years. In the County, Congressional
State and Presidential campaign the De,
mocracy will not relinquish its present
foothold, but will make a desperate
struggle. Every means available will be
brought to bear to defeat the Republican
party from tae highest to the lowest Office.
The stake is a grand one-no less than
the nation i;self-and to aecure it, De.
r'Ocracy will marshal every element aud
shade of opposition. Republicans must
be wide awake. They must organize,
over in the districts of the counties and
let no honorable means be omitted to
secure the success of the party. Repub'
licsns saved the Nation in time Of wal
and Republicans must preserve it.

Too Much Scripture.

The building committee of Il church
recently finished in New Jersey wanted
n stone slab over the door, with the name
of the church and a scriptural motto. II
occurred to them that nothing could be
better than "My house shall be called a
house of prayer" So n of the COM
mitteemcn, who was in a great hurry,
told the stonecutter TO chisel the thir.
tcenth verse of the twenty-first chapter
of Matthew. He thought the verse ended
with the words he wanted to use. The
stonecutter took the whole verse from
the bible and faithfully copied it to the
end. Imagine the horror of the rom
mittecmen when thestone was delivered.
1t read, "My house shall be called house
of PRAYER, but ye have made it a den Of
thieves" The %stOnecutter insisted that
he had obeyed orders; but the commit
teemen insisted that the motto he had
Inscribed was not wanted, and that it
would he of no particular use to them.
That slab is now in the stone cutters
yard, and anybody who wants it for a
tombstone can probably buy it cheap.

A Bright Horse.

The Boston Journal relates the follow
ing. Among the many horses owned
by a street railroad company is one who
used to give the hostlers a deal OF trouble
by slipping his halter and roaming at
will about the stable. The halter was
ON each occasion buckIcd ON as tightly ~
possible, but to no purpose, for the horse
would invariably be found half an hour
alterward making a diguifed tour of the
stable. This became m%onotonOns to the
hostIcr, and he determined to ascertain
the modvs opcrdnh by which his equine
friend secured his liberty. Again the
halter was tightly buckled on, and taking
a seat where he could watch his trouble
some charge, he awaited developments
Pretty soon a horse who stood beside the
troublesome one was observed to poke
his nose into his neighbours stall, and
catching the end of the halter strap
between his teeth, he pulled at 1t. His
first, second and third attempts to I'M
loose the buckle were unavailing, but
with remarkable perseverance the horse
returned to his work repeatedly, and
finally out dropped the buckle tongue,
the throat strap fell, and the horse of
inquisitive mind was soon striding about
the stable again A change of location
was of course n necessity.

twenty years ago, besides some four or
five thousand dollars in gold or currency.
The husband was probably the most sur

to n frst-class funeral, which he did by
the aid of a handsome burial casket, forty
