The GRocERs GIFT TO HIS PREACHER.
A Covington (Ky.) correspondent tells this
A merchant visited the city few days ago,
and, going to Cincinnati, purchased from a
dollar store table-caster, which he took
home with him, and after putting a tag on
it marked (fourteen dollars) made it a pres
ent to Methodist preacher, whose church
his family attended. The reverend gentle
man took the package home, opened it, and
examined the contents. The next day be
brought the caster (with tag attached) back
to the groceryman, and said to him: I'll am
too poor in this worlds goods to afford to dis
play so valuable caster on my table, and if
you have no objection I should like to return
it and take fourteen dollars worth of grocer
les in its stead" The merchant could do
nothing but acquiesce, but fancy his feelings.

During the election campaign of 177S, par

were said. The candidates we're accustomed
to make speeches in different sections of the
district To these meetings everybody went
The audience was a mixed multitude of men,
women and children. At one of these public
meetings, Colonel Williams discovered his
opponent-Cunningham standing very near
him whilst he was addressing the people,
Turning round, he said to Cunningham: "Y ou

reply. Colonel Williams, without making
any reply or taking a moment to reflect
struck Cunningham. The result was, the two
candidates were soon engaged in fight
Mrs. Williams rushed forward to the scene Of
conflict, and sezing Cunningham by his cue
was about to render her husband material
aid. Some one of the by-standers relieved
her grasp, and removed her, with the inten
tion that the two candidates might have a
fair fight. The contest resulted in favor o.
