Louis Hagedorn, Henry Arendt and

and Henry asked, in German: "Won-
der what that big sheephead wantsp'
The Doctor turned turned quietly
around and, to the establishment of
all present, says in German; "Henry,
you don't speak the German language
properly" Dutch Henry was squelch-

furnishing the news of adjacent com
munities. 1t would sometime,be very
difficult to do this, for things. move
on so calmly, as scarcely to furnish
gossip for the inhabitants theaeof.
Easton farmers are now very busy
husking corn: the excellent quality
and bountiful yield, certainly go far
toward substantiating the promise of
"seed time and haryast,' The old
time corn-huskings are not common
in our vicinity. Mr.. VIM. Mack is
the only one of our citizens that has
mademerry with his friends, on ac-
count of well filled crib.
Messrs Mosier & Lynch, our mer-
chants, are still extending their Gus
tom, and we ofton realize the advan-
tages of a home-market. Despite their
close attention to business, the Junier
member of the firm finds time for an
occasional hunt, and is q rather sue
cessful sportsmen. Speaking of hunt
ing, reminds me, that Sirs Stellar q
Snider had quite an extended hunt
short time since. They started to
capture deer and bear, in the happy
hunting grounds, in the land of Ca
naan, bnt such was not to be. The
clouds sent forth their rain, the swell
ing Jordan could not be crossed. I'm
like Moses, they cared not to view the
land from afar, but soon traversed their
weary steps through the wilderness;
stopping not to capture the abundant
game which they encountered, and
reached home, seven days out. Perils
of short duration causes visible
change.
The Literary Society still meets at
Avery school house. Last Friday
night there were as many present as
could be comfortably seated, no doubt
the beauty of the night, and the nat
ural tendency to go some place, ac-
counted in part for the audience
Mr.. Oliver Bayles lectured on "the
mind" The lecture was good, and
his hearers realized that he spoke
words of truth and soberness." The
subject was: Resolved that dogs are
a nuisance. The debaters were BOYS
from eight to seventeen years of age;
their styles of delivery, combined with
the arguments produced, reflected
great credit upon the youthful speak
ers. The decision was for the mega,
tive, know not which might have been
had not Mr. Hare's occupation Of the
presidential chair prevented his
speaking at length.

H. NJ. Morgan believes in doing all
the good he can, thus making himself
and others happy. He has been
spending few of his leisre hours, in
helping one ofour farmers rid his land
Of snow birds. They used a net for
this purpose, but found the openings
too large for such small game. 1t is
wrong to kill the little birds, and thus
do away with the omens of coming
sleigh-rides.

had Faith in louisiana.

TIE most significant political event of
the past week has been the arrest and in
dlctment, on a charge of perjury and fraud,
of Messrs. Wells, Anderson, Kenner, and
Casenove, members Of the Louisiana Re-
turning Board. The specific charge against
them is that they published as true altered
and forged returns for presidential electors
from the parish of Vernon at the election in
November last by adding us votes to each
of the Hayes electors and deducting like
number from each of Tilden's electors.
Bail was fixed at $4,000 each and was
promptly furnished. This action of the
Bourbon Democracy of Louisiana has &C.
casioned no little surprise from the fact
that it is in violation of the express agree
ment made and pledges given at the time
the rival legislatures and State governments
were harmonized and united last winter.
The explicit understanding at that time
was that there should be no political ar
rests or prosecutions in the State on ac-
count of any past transactions, and Gov.
Nichols is reported as strongly condemn
ing the action which has now been taken,
and as threatening, If these men are tried
and convicted, to Immediately pardon them
There is no end of conjecture as to the real
origin of these prosecutions and the mo-
tive which has led TO them. The improba-
bic suggestion that they were instigated
by ex-Gov. Packard and Marshal Pitkin,
in revenge upon the President for his
Southern policy has been met by the
prompt denial of those gentlemen. Taken
in connection with other recent events, no.
tably the speeches at the New York dinner
to Gov. Hendricks, there are many who
see in this action the hand of Mr.. Tilden's
friends and the beginning of determined
effort 10 undo the work of the electoral
commission. We are not of those, howev-
err, who believe that so hopeless and profit
less task as this will ever be seriously at
tempted, and we are inclined to look upon
this latest Louisiana development as being
simply an exhibition of hate and maligni-
ty on the part of certain class of South
ern Bourbon politicians. 1t is, in any case
an unwise demonstration and an uHtimely
manifestation of bad faith, especially al
this lime, when the honesty and patriotism
Of the Southern leaders are on trial before
the country.
