The occurrence Of an incident
ut the Dramatic debate, Thursday
night, has set us to thinking, as to
whether q feller's,' own bouquet
looks the prettlcr, or smells the
swceter after the process of coming
through the hands of a young lady,
to whom 1t has been consigned for
presentation?
Capt. John Matthews, has been
appointed Vice President OF the
A. G. 7. U. in place of Capt. II. M.
McVeigh, who is one of the State

moro energetic thorough-going
worker IN the cause than John Mat
thews, and his appointment is a
handsome recognition of that fact

of friend, for sale keeping, while
he delivered himself of his maidcr
speech, presented him with compli
ments. But under the circumstance
bouquets being scarce, this one was
doubly valuable.
Tom. Goblc, we arc reliably
informed, will be candidate fol
The office of Sheriff. He came tc
this decision upon the interpreta
tion of dream which was dreamt
by his wife some time ago. Tom
is q good hand at interpreting
dreams, and by the way, a pretty
far dreamer himself, and if he Ii

The question, "Rcsolved, tina
