Tindor tbc cos,,oht On :

Under the Gnsllght,- Our citizens
have had the pleasure Of witnessing some
beautiful scenes under the gas light Tor
two nights past, and right we'll did they
enjoy it. The fearful speed Of the "down
express" as 1t whiEzed past the station, par.
alyEed the nerves Of some our more deli
eate young ladies. This was the only ac-
cident TO mar the pleasure OF the two even
ings. Although better written play and
mpre difficult of production, it did not
give equal satisfaction to our people as
that Of "Uncle Toms Cabin" presented BY
the Dickens Club short time since. The
Club have lost none Of their friends here,
however, but on tie contrary have gained
new ones. rrIAsefnN Athat towns Of this
size are favored with Such excellent pro-
ductions as the Dickens Ora ma tic Club
has favored us with. On this occasion,
while they were well patronizcd both even
ings, the expenses Of fitting up the Town
Hall, &e., have eaten up about all the prof
its. We shall await their next visit with
pleasursble anticipatious.

A Fishermnn's Luck.--At 2 O'Clock
on Thursday morning of last week, those
engaged in operating one of the fish
grounds Of Jos. HILLABRAND, opposite
Mr. Ross farm, threw out their 40 yard seine
for haul. The platform and shanty is
built some distance out in the river. "Old
Spot" probably the Oldest horse in these
parts, does the windlass work. The seine
came in slow and heavy and it was sup
posed that it was going to be the most snc-
cessful haul Of the season. Finally as the
seine nenred the platform the head Of "sea
monster" was discovered, sticking some
two feet above the surface of the water.
The sweet silver moon reflected but little
light on the scene, and the situation was
growing critical. They dare not take to
their boats and strike out for shore, ns the
monster might capsize the boats and deyour
them before reaching safety. They did not
wait to hold council of war, but one Of
the party cut the rope attached 10 the seine,
and all made hasty exit into the shanty
and blew out the light. The monster soon
clambe red onto the steep platform without
the aid OF the seine, and was recognized by
a WINNER from Old Spot. Finally the
boys ventnred to look out, when the discov-
cry was made that the monster had taken
the shape OF two and half year old
colt, which had taken its place along
side Of Old Spot. 1t remains n mystery
to this day how it got in the seine and who
is the lawful owner.

Prof j. C. Ridge.--The readings at
Centennial Hall on Monday evening by
Prof. ]. c. RIpGE, was not a success, fnan
eially, but as literary entertainment far
surpassed the expectations of those who
ventured ont. The Professor appreciated
the fact that he was stranger here, and
remarked that people were slow TO take
strangers on trust. lIe6lled the programme
ms advertised Just as though every seat had
been full, which WAS the best introduction
of himself TO the audiencs possible. His
selections were excellent aud his rendition
of them is surpassed by but few who are
engaged in giving public readings and in-
struction in this refined art. As he ex-
pressed desire Ia visit us again at some
future day, we believe we but speak the
sentiments of all who heard him that
that day they may not be far distant.

THE GRAND CHEAT.

The curtain has dropped on the
second act of the grand cheat, Eight

audience have received its verdict.
The Supreme Court of the United
States. the highest tribunal of the
land, and heretofore considered the
only Independent one, and Ike Gaze
zar's wife, above suspicion, has en-
dorsed in toto and in practical facts,
the infamies, the frauds, the forge
ries Of the Louisiana Returning
Board; have declared that the Board
was right, and had acted right, and
that the true people of Louisiana
were forgerers, liars and first class
villains. This they have done, and
done as partizans, sitting along side
of Morton and Garfield, their adyi
aers, their hel p mates and sharers in
this the herculean infamy of Ameri-
ca. They never once thought that
they held the destiny of the Ameri.
can people in their hands, but were
too glad to know that they held the
fate and the f,trt har ayictanpa IF tho
Republican party on trial, and the
verdict by the compact "eight' is
rendered all right, good, honest, faith

wrong, and are but too glad to have
the chance forced on US to crown YOU
with this our laurelled wreath of con
tinuation in power for four more

Yesterdays Decision.

Notwithstanding the decision Of
the Electoral Commission YESTERDAY
upon the Louisiana case, it is yerv
certain that Hayes cannot become
President. The programme Of the
democrats will probably be to pre-.
vent the election of President by
delaying the count until the 4th Of
March and to unite with the friends
of Senator Conkling in electing the
latter President of the Senate.
No President being elected either
by the College or the House, Senator
Conkling would become acting Pres
ldent of the United States until a new
election could be held in November
1877. Of course the consideration
which Senator Conkling will have to
give for the support of the Demo.
Gratis will be the pledge that he will
not interfere with the Nichols and
Hampton Governments in Louisians
and South Carolina.
The New York Tribune has quits
an original and pleasant way Of ex.
planning the indicated intention Of
the Electoral Tribunal to count ia
Hazenwheeler. 1t says that the
Judges are, to certain extent, under
the control of Sub conscious tenden.

/. "The authorship of the Fourth
! GospelS1' The writer adduces boti
external and internal evidence tina
the fourth Gospel was written in tn
apostolic age and by the Apostl,
John.
"The Gospel itself presents phe
nomena which can be explained only
on one or other Of the following sup
positions: either that the author was
an eyewitness of the scenes which
he describes, or that he was writer
in comparison with whom the great
est poets and writer's of fiction sink
into insigniticance."

land of having Asia Minor in the
hands of a power that is not opposed
to her interests, and gives an account
of that region.
