CLARINaroN, o., Aug. s.
On yesterday. as foreshadowed
thorough the Register some time since,
under the auspicles OF the "Salem Town
ship Hancock and English club" pole
was brought in from the woods Of our
fellow Democrat, Arch. j. Goodhue, and
desosited it near the place Of raising 1t
was discovered. on going for the pole
that some miscreant, during the night
after it was felled, sawed of some thirty
Eve feet Of the top. Another piece was
procured, but necessited the making ol
two splices. This however, was readily
done, and at 2 P. NJ. it was raised in q
manner pronounced perfect success.
Then followed short speeches by Hon.
Henry Maury President of the Club
Jacob T! Morrill,. Recording Secretary
James Rutter, Corresponding Secretary,
and Judge r. K. Walton, all OF whom
we're introduced by Professor Wire ia
his apt and pleasant manner. A recess
was then had until night. The audience
was quite large and during the interval
seemed to increase rapidly.
At night the first was the torch ligh,
procession The march was BY twos
and when formed, there being some VIC
hundred, 1t was about the length OF the
street from east to west. The march
was through the principal streets, and
occupied about hour. There was one
continual hurrah for Hancock, English
and Warner. Two bands furnished the
music for the occasion.
After the first speech at night, men,
toned hereafter, they sung campaign
song published in the Register few
days ago, which was listened to atten :
lively and Interestingly and cheered vo-
cifercusly.
After the return to the stand the
torches were dispensed with, except
enough to light the platform and sur
roundings, and the Hon. A j. Warner,
our present aud next Representative 10
Congress, was introduced to the very
large audience by Prof. W. +. Wire in
an unusually appropriate and happy
style. He spoke for some two hours
handling the various points presented in
an entertaining and beneficial manner
and with perfect ease to himself.
Judge X. K. Walton was then intro

wThe Bsrnesville. Enterprise, Inde-

letter:
ut Is not only not reasonable doc
ument, as charged, but is in reality let
ter which does credit to the General, and
shows that he is something more than a
mere soldier. He displays an under
standing of our system of government,
an appreciation of the difficulties of the
situation. that would be creditable to o
statesman. 1t displays common sense
and exhibits qualities of craftsmanship
in greater degree than the letter of &C.
cep,ance. 1t also shows that whatever
may be his deficiencies, he is not dem.
agogue, but an honest, straightforward
man, with q clear appreciation of our
constitutional system Of government"

during the exciting period which inter-

event of deadlock between the two
Houses of Congress over the electoral

Yet the superior officers of the army are
so regarded in such great crises and are
held to such responsibility, especially

to dare to determine for themselves wha

This morning, about O'Clock, the community
was shocked and gricved at the sad death of
Mrs Lively, the beloved wife Of our esteemed
fellow townsman, Mr.. M. Lively. For some
weeks Mrs. L. has been in poor health which
had greatly affected her mind. This morning
she was allowed to walk out with q nurse and
she took the direction of the Cascade "a
small, deep sink. near the railroad-apd when
on It's banks suddenly sprang into the water, and
though the alarm was Immediately raised assist
ance could not be obtained In time to be of any
avail, The body was recovered, and though
every remedy that medical skill and tender
hands could suggest was employed life could not
be restored. Her body was then borne gently
10 the residence of her husband. The sympathies
of all are with the stricken family. Mrs L. was
a most amiable. sweet-tempered lady, the. idol of
her household and beloved by all her friends.
Pure-hearted and good, she is at rest al last.
