with Mr.. Tilden in New York, and says he

There is firm in .his town, and q very solid and respectable one, too, which perhaps now knows the folly of trying to get along without taking the towh paper. The firm has never taken copy of the paper. and sup posed it was getting along all right without it. But mark the result !: Some time ago our county court made an order directing that all old county scrip should be filed in tho clerks office for examination and reissue, on or before a certain date. The order specified that all scrip not so filed should be forever barred. The court had it's order ,duly published in the DEMOCRAT for the information Of the people, and in addition, the DEMOCRAT called editorial attention to the fact. All the readers of the paper were thus apprised of the matter and all nled their scrip and lost none. But mark what the firm alluded to lost by trying to save the sum of one dollar and a-half for which they could have had the DEMOCRAT whole year! The firm had over hundred dollars in the kind of scrip called in. None Of the firm took or read the DEMOCRAT, and in blissful ignorance of the order calling iH the scrip they slept on. Long after the time for filing had ex- pired they heard of 1t, and hastening to Dover they found they were too late andthey were losers of over hundred dollars. We are sorry for tho loss of the firm, but the general verdict will be that it served them right, for any firm which will allow as important an enterprise as town newspaper to struggle along for six years barely making tongue and buckle meet and by it's efforts in that length of time doub- ling the trade and importance of the the town, without even contributing the price of one years subscription to the support of the paper, certainly de- serves some chastisement for such q course.

 Respected Audience At the request of your honorable committee, l am present tor the purpose of reading an essay suitable foi the occasion.
 Aside from the delicate compliment you are pleased to bestow in selecting me as your essayist, it is a rare treat to escape for while the arduous tolls of the schoolroom in order to enjoy the pleasures of recreation and association.
 It is an acknowledged law of nature, that reaction must Invariably follow action, and as proof of this law, we see the young and old, tho happy school girl, and grave matron, the romping restless youth, and aged sire, they are present in attestation of the fact that amusement is not only pleasure, but q necessity, to actual enjoyment. If the merchant never closed his ledger his mind would become so entanglcd in it's musty records, that the old time "rule of three" would be | problem more difficult to solve than Euclid's. If the lawyer never closed the ponder ous works of Blackstone, he would soon cease his eloquent pleadings from sheer weariness. It Is true that the mind IS elastic, but too much pressure injufes

The Festival Last Night.

When we say that the festival given by the ladies of RussellyIlle last even ing, for the benefit of the Russell vile Brass Band now being gotten up by the young men of the town, was most pleasant and elegant affair--we use words, by no means extravagant ln their application. Numerous festivals and suppers have been given in Rus sellville at different times and for vari- ous purposes, and they are always we'll gotten up, and well conducted; :; but this last one, and likewise the one that preceded it q few evenings ago, prepared by the same ladies and for the same purpose, have exceeded them all that makes such an occasion one of pleasure and social enjoyment of the highest quality. Both of them were personally managed by the following young ladies:
 Misses Bettie and Lallah Doggstt, Ina Mckenzie, Maggie Miller, Porah Boswell, Jennie Moseley, May Wash bourne, Mrs Thach and Mrs. Mary Err win.
 They did every thing that could be done by tho exhibition of energy and good taste; and 'tis said that 80 great was the brass-band patriotism of some of the young ladies, that they permit ted one of the young moa to bite their little fingers at 10c bite. This nov el and pleasant way of raisir.g funds WAS practiced, we expect, at the yard gate or on the door steps, just before he said ''good-bye", for the evening. May the Russel,ville brass band be a success. and the ladies who contribu- ted so much to that success, as well as all others who so generously gave of their means, can receive the assurance, the young gentlemen composing the band, fully appreciate all their kind ness and liberality. The following persons compose the band.
 James A. Miller, John, Arthur and Henry Erwin, James, Charley and Ed Shinn, w. C. Renfrow, John White, Really Doggett, Dr. J. K. Perriman aud James L. Tucker.
