idly now.
The Standard had vocal treat to-day, by

Of phenomenal purity and sweetness.
Itisone of the saddest spectacles of a lack of
political wisdom to see man electioneering
for the Republican candidate for Governor, and
using the Scott Law as an argument. An old
and respected Republican politician and former
temperance lecturer, was at this in town, a few
days ago, but found it uphill business.
Our old friend George Dever is one of the most
polite, gentIemanly and warm-hearted of our
citizens, as to his treatment of his fellow men.
But Uncle George cannot stand everything.
Sometimes the boys try to be little too friend
1y, when Uncle George lets out on them in a
manner which jerks them out of their boots.
He became offended at a coIored man, yesterday
evening, and read the young gentleman severe
lecture, on Broadway street, which will be apt
I to cause him to fight shy Of Uncle George for
! some time.
To-day a young gentleman named Thomas
Cunningham, while attempting to interpret the
Scott Law, became so badly confused that his
legs started ofon a little excursion of their own
and it was about all he could do to ride them.
They brought him up to washam's corner, and
while he was trying to keep his balance, they
, ran around in circle two or three times, and
sat down in Washam's door-where Thomas
treated the public to fine vocal serenade, after
which his legs ran away with him again, and
he went to Pickrels store, where he entertained
few small boys until friends took him away
THURSDAY.
Cold enough this morning to make fire
comfortable.
There was select dance last night al. the resi-
dence of MI. .Bentine, also one at the old Central
Hotel, near the M. & C. Depot. Society Dancing

An old citizen was driving along the street
this morning, shortly after breakfast, mounted
upon a load of hay, smoking his pipe, as con-
tentedly as he would have done had he been
mounted on a load ofgun-powder.
We trust we shall not hear any enthusiastic
Democrat making any remarks about the
County Treasury. At least until the Democrat
ic party pays to the County what it owes.
Some time ago the Standard said that MAI
who died had been doggery-keeper, which
was true. Mr.. Henry Bloss publishes "a card
saying that "iustice to the memory of the dead

truly glad to see Henry deny that the dead mai
was as 'ornery'' as he is himself.
MiIt. Phillips, young man from Oak Hill

ted, and his friends returned home with hin
where he will be kept for the present.

A few days ago three Democratic political

Squire -, and that is to nominate Wells
man-"Oh, mol" replied another, quickly, "y
