something Of surprise. The cry for
free rum and no Sunday swept the state.
The Democrats have majority of over
twenty thousand and have elected pro.
badly fifteen out Of the twenty-one

for the liquor dealers, and the Democ-
racy may felicltate themselves upon at

a monster bear. The combat was fierce,
and passed from play to work as the

the negro. Bleeding and exhausted he
finally got the bear off the stoge, amid
overwhelming applause. The assembly
insisted upon an encore. When the
tumult had reached its height, the
negro appeared carrying bag. After
acknowledging the Kindness of the
spectators, he stopped down, and,
drawing knife from his pocket, COM
menced TO tumble with the bag. The
people supposing this to be some new
trick, preserved a brcathless. silence.
Then he cut the bag open, and there
issued from it a swarm of bees. AS the
insects buzzed forth, there was a move

finally a wild rush for the exit. Some
got out by cutting Sits in the canvas of
