How THEY DO IT IN READING. The
authority started across the road to n
house with the ballot box to count the
votes, In the highway they met
man who said he had not voted, they
opened the box and he voted the State
ticket. This was after five o'clock.

The Republican idiots here made a
great howl Tuesday night because
they captured Bridgewater and made
n gain in few towns in the county.
They burned q tar-barrel or two and
fired II few guns, but when the returns
began TO come in from distant parts
of the State they were glad 10 go
home. Drunkenness, rowdyism and
wanton destruction OF property was in

smell tar enough in November.
We advertised cattle in the pound
in Barnard, last week. A nan in
Bridgewater read it and went and got
them. Now We want him to pay for

This We also granted, although ws

with US, and in their speeches IN

OUT, "Shoot the id rebel" "you

party to learn it. But this is only a
