The following is taken from
Webster's dictionary to illustrate the
fact that the old man Webster didn't
know how to use the word quite:
"The same actions may be aimed at
different ends, and arise from quite
contrary principles"
The following highly interesting
item we take from last weeks Gazette:
We are under obligations to Hon. j.
l.. Brown for political map of the
State. It is very valuable for refer
ence. For man it has no equal. For
beast it is not excelIed. What? Ken

tisement.
The Democrat says that Fl. 5.
Brockway, superintendent of schools
in Forest county takes umhtrgo. Fhat
is bad for Brockway, to take such
stuff. Why don't he take salts, pills,
or other phy>ic of a milder nature
Embargo is not fit for any one,except-
ing the C iitOr of the Demo :rdt to take
and we believe he take magnesia in
steal.
The following and annexed very
lucid and able paragraph en-
plains itself as being one of the most
uninteliigible pieces of writing that
has appeared this century. 1t is
taken from the st. Marys Gnzfftr:
Our county is fast becoming mining

and its designers, intruSted with Il

classes
The editor of the Democrat feels
grieved because we "studiously
avoided the mention of Gen. Han
cocks name," etc, in our descrip-
tion of the trip to Washington. We
did not "studiously avoid" etc., but
even if we had there is no particular
harm done. Hundreds of other men

defeated Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, whose names we did not
mention at all. Besides the gentle
man most talked of al the time Of the
Inauguration was not Hancock at all
hut Jas, A. Garfield and he was inau-
xurated too. Then. Mr. Editor, of the
Democrat, why harp OH Hancock.
Or, are you, as during the past four
years, sorry you are unable to say
"his fraudulency?'
Many things worry the mind of
the anliable editor of the Democrof
He is greatly troubled and scarcely
sleeps ut night because Senator CAM
eron and Mitchell keep right on at
tending tn their public Business not
withstanding the slurs and threats
make against them by the Aforesaid
editor. Now he has it again that
Cameron and Quay have quarreled.
Then he remarks, "But, thank God,
he has been reidgdted to the shades Of
private life," This he says of Presi-
dent Hayes. That the word reidydted
(italics are ours is Il goo word no one
doubts, that it is new word is equally
plain as Webster fails to record the
word at all. The cares of running
the government must rest heavily on
the mind of the editor of the Demo-
crat. And to conclude We hope
the friends nf the distinguished gentle
men whom the little editor takes oc-
casion to abuse will not allow them to
read the great Democrat as it might
turn out disastriously. Then they
might exert their influence to cut
down the circulation (?) of the Demo
crat in Washington, and that would
turn out disastriously for the Demo
crdt. There is a way, however, to
compromise all these difficulties, and
we move that il be done. viz: When
ever these gentlemen, Senators, Rep
resentatives, etc have meeting that
Miller be consulted. then will all he
