There are more kinds Of so-called

The Board of Health of the District

Vinegar has been made. 1t appears,
according to the rrp"rt OF the Board oi
Health. tina. the Vinegar contains 81
5+l0O grains per gallon of anhy ydrous
sulphurlc acid combined with lime to
form a sulpLate OF lime equivalent to

The Democratic County Commit
tee met in the Court House on Sat
urday. 1t is not reported that Mr..
Tilden's late speech, which be deliv-
cred on the occasion of the departure
of Mr.. Hendricks for Europe, was
read, TO re-inspirethe erring brethren.
However, as they have majority in
this county, it was not necessary to
read such manifesto to keep them
up to the work. The majority which
they have is inspiration enough with
out Mr.. Tilden's speech, which was
not much more than a complaint that
he was not declared elected, because
a majority vote had elected him.
The Constitution. which the Fa-
theirs made many long years ago,
said that the majority vote in Presi
dental elections should not be the
governing vote, but that a majority
of the electoral uotcS shall be the Con-
stitutional vote, and until that is
changed it must be so. If Mr.. Til
den had just advised his party to
advocate an amendment TO the Con
stitution changing the electoral vote
to a popular UOfs, he would have got
something said that the majority of
Democrats and Republicans could
endorse, and he would not be open
to the criticism of being a grumbler
because he did not get the Office.

STORMS,
BARTON SPEAK

A dispatch from Springfield, Mass,
last Friday, says: The covered bridge
over the Connecticut river, between
Northampton and Hadley, was blown
over by a hurricane, accompanied by
a severe thunder shower, at 130 this
afternoon. There were six teams on
the bridge when it went over, and Mrs.
Sullivan, of Old Hadley, was instant
ly killed. Sheriff Enos Cook, of
Hadley, was cut badly on the head,
and William Smith, of Amherst, had
a shoulder dislocated Two horses
have been taken from the ruins alive.
The bridge was 1,124 feet long, and
the newest portion of it has been
built about fifteen years. An un-
completed bridge of the Massachu-
sets Central Railroad was also demol-
ished Numerous tobacco sheds have
also been blown down by the gale.
At Hartford, Mass, severe thun-
der and rain storm did considerable
damage to fruit and shade trees. Two
barns were blown down in West Hart
ford. Lightning struck several
places. No loss of life reported.
A furious storm of rain and hail,
accompanied bya terrible wind-storm,
passed over Poughkeepsie, N. Y, ON
Thursday afternoon. The damage to
fruit and growing crops will be very
heavy. A number of buildings were
struck by lightning, but no person
was killed. Trees were blown down
and immense quantities of glass
broken.
During thunder storm in the out
skirts of Middletown, n. Y, on Thurs
day, lightning struck in three places.
A woman was severely hurt. Three
men we're shocked and dwelling house
was wrecked almost beyond repair, but
the occupants, a woman and two chi.-
dien, escaped uninju.ed.

June 10, 1871.
Ny Dear .gr. Editor A pleasanter
night than this Saturday night the
merry month of June never turns
out. It's not warm it's not cool; a
sick man could almost enjoy it, and
III bet high on it, that it has bred
sickness IN many a fellow who is out
sparkling his girl I'll bet that many
a fellow has a humping under his
waist-coat, in his heart II the boys
don't want to fall in love with the
girls they should not spark them on
such mellow nights,
The grandeur of nighttime in the
South Is what makes such fiery lovers
down there, and the immoral social
and political institutions of that sec
ton Il what makes such desperadoes
down there. Andy jackson was not
desperate; he was bred outside of
the circle of that class, but he could
not get outside the circle of the in
fuence of the beautiful mellowing
Southern nights, and that's why he
was such an ardent lover and wooer,
all of course within the letter of leg
islative enactment. He underwent
the humping of his heart under his
vest. Most every man has had that
experience some time in his life; even
the bachelor class have felt it, though
the most of them affect to know
nothing about the throb that woman
imparts to man when she has found
her way to his heart they declare
that their heart has not been reached.
Who knows7 Perhaps It's so with
some of them; perhaps disappoint-
ment causes others to so declare
themselves. But I guess love for
other objects than women gives man
Leart-ache, particularly when he don't
reach the object.
Mr.. Tilden, who ran against Mr..
Hayes, is bachelor, and perhaps he
has had the woman heart ache; but
rs he is not on public record on that
point it viii not do to say that he has
had the woman thump under his vest.
But what he salt, last Tuesday evening
in aEttlespeech, in New York, put him
plainly on the public record as hav-
ing an ache in his heart for another
object which had no woman In 1t.
They were talking about his little
speech at the Stars this evening. 1t
