p CAMPAIGN Bosu.-Nothing SO disgusts a
sensible man as to be covered over with slob-
Der and gush. Garfield and Hancock are both
SWIMMING in sea of newspaper drivel ana
the waves Of fattery are rising higher as the
campaign advances. All the little common
place incidents in their career are being piled
up fer the public to look at. Some journals
devote columns describing how Hancock gave
lame boy q handfall of marbles at school
and how Garfield used to lie on his stomach
and read "Pilgrims Progress" when he was
nine years old All this is the dreariest kind
of nonsense and no doubt the rival candidates
relish the abuse heaped upon them infinitely
better than the drool which flows over them
from their journalistic admirers. Some of
these Eastern editors doubtless see fortune
in a nine hundred dollar postofice.

The STARS AND STRIPES HAULED Down -
A gentleman in Toledo, Ohio, received a
letter from friend in Vicksburg, who was a
resident of New Orleans at the time General
Hancock was in charge of that city. He en-.
closes copy of note sent by Gen. Beaure-
gard to Gen. Hencocks in reply to an Invita-
ton from the latter to dinner. The note ran
thus: "Gen H: Please don't humble me by
those flags. I'll come and see you, but first
remove them" The flags were accordingly
ordered down, and Beauregard dined with
Gen. Hancock who was thus guilty of an
open insult to the flag to seothe the irritatea
nerves of an unrepentant rebel. Cincinnati

That Ministers Cider.

A friend of ours, who keeps generally three or four pairs of fine steers, was working on the road one day near the minister's, when the latter appeared with u largo pitcher of cider. The hired men took each glass, and our friend was urged to take second one, ito save it, it being too good to throw away" He took it down, when suddenly his steers began to show several extra pairs of horns. The horns continued to multiply for a long time, until the cattle were covered all over with them! Our friend kept his visions to himself all the while wondering where the parsOn got that cider. He further found that he was driving three pairs of steers ard three scrapCrs at the same time, and wondered if tho parson could be a good Christian. He stumbled somewhat over the ''duIlps" and stones, but thank fortune" he said "his men did not notice any more steers than usual" He called on the minister in the evening and found it was barrel of rlue cider. except two gallons of good rum, and ono dollars worth of sugar Enough to cover many cattle with horns.

History of New England.

Crocker's Popular History of New England, 1llustrated," is in many re- ~spects noteworthy book. It is hand somo quarto of oyer 800 pages. with finely tinted paper and type of the best captiva- ting to the eye.
 The plan of the book Is excellent Flrst, an article of ten pages on Early Explorations ;" then ffty-four pages on the general history and peculiaritles of Massachusetts, followed by articles on each county, and every town in the coun- ty. The other New England States are treated in a similar comprehensive and caroful manner, over sixty different wri- ters from the various States having con- tributed to the work.
 The work is we'll done. An immense amount of labor is condensed in this handsome volume. We have here the substance of hundreds of volumes, of thousands of pamphlets, and of all town records of New England, along with ac- curate descriptions of the geography of each town, it's settlement present non.
 ffSNAStiVfFoJ prominent men, churches. schools in short everything we want to know. It contains information which can be fonnd nowhere else, and ought to be in every intelligent New England home. It is just the book to interest parents and children,
 The articles on Litchfield and Fairfield Counties were written by William Knapp. Esq, of this village. and are remarkably well done. The undersigned, having had occasion to go through history and rec ords of this town. thought he knew all about 1t; but he has learned sorne things from Mr. Knapp's article In this valuable book. He has read many books on New England, and can confidently recommend this one as both accurate and interesting. He, who would understand the position which New England occupies, and the part she has yet to play in our nation. as well as the source of her prosperity and influence. ought to read this book. It IS just the book for the farmer. the merchant. and all others who ought to be acquainted with the history of New Eng land. yet cannot read many books.

The furnishing committee wereless fortunate: but a few such returns as they had from the concert to which he alludes, and the fine entertainment given by the Dramatic Association last evening, will soon free them from all liabilities.
