EG- POSTMASTER.
From the Toledo Bladel
CoNFEDRIr X ROADS witch is in
the State Nv Kentucky, Nov. 6, 'S4.
Never sence the fust battle of
Bull Run, when it wuz represented
that the Fedrel army he'd bin entire
ly destroyed and that the Confedrits
wuz in posseshun NV Washington,
wuz there sich a feelin Nv absloot
Joy in the Corners ez Wednesday
mite when we reserved the glad in
telligence that our noble standard
barer, ex-Sheriff Cleveland, he'd bin
elected.
The nooze cum over from the
stashen at Seceshunville by Bascom's
Oldest boy, Jeffson Davis, on his
mule, witch he he'd contributed for
the occashin. Jeffson was seen rid
in down the bill at a furious pace,
holdin on to the animals tail with
one hand, while he wuz belaborin
him with hickory club in the other.
We knowed that he he'd good moose
or he woodent be so reckless NV
mules, and the eggscitement was in
tense. He wuz half way down the
hill, when the mule stopt suddint,
pitchin Jeffson over his head. The
noble boy didn't mind it. Regain
in his feet he thought moment ez
To whether he shood remount the
mule or do the rest on foot Strikin
into a run he rushed into his fathers
bar, with the paper which contained
the glad intelligence, and exclaimln
"d-n that MULE" sunk faintin to
the floor. His mother revived him
by givin him grown PERSONS dose
NV moo whisky, and | seezed the pa
per and red the glad intelligence to
the drlitid popuis.
THE EFFECT wUz ELECTRIKLE.
The overjoyed Dimocrisy howled.
Issaker Gayitt footed the horn wich
we use, OWN to the fact that the
money fur bell wich wuz sent us
by the Moo England Church Exten-
shun Society happened to come to
me, ~ the pastor, and Bascom know.
in of it made me apply half NV it to
the likwidashun Nv bill at his bar,
and the other half I lost that mite at
game Nv seven-up with Dekin Po-
gram. However, the horn does very
well, ez it is one NV CRATE power and
remarkably soft in tone.
We perceded to wunst to get out
the relix NV the late oneasiness to
decorate the church with. The rifle
witch Dekin Pogram yoosed in bush
whackin Fedrel pikits wuz festooned
and put in its ola place. Mirandy
Pogram came rushin up with the
skulls NV the Fedral primers wich
her brother, wich wuz guard at
Andersonville, he'd shot, and clean
ed and preserved for her, ez memen-
toes NV his valor, and the old war
flags NV the regiments wich went
into the Confedrit servis from the
visinity wuz all dustid and hung out.
We wood hev he'd speeches, but
Bascom, wich is a ass, wuz so full nv
Joy that he spilled the hull thing by
remarkin that his wife and son, jeff
son Davis, wuz putin
FRESH BAIL ON TAP,
and that the Corners wuz welcome.
Good the citizens endoor stayin in
the meetin house under these cir
cumstances? No indeed! There
wuz wild rush for his place, and
the bari wuz set runnin, and the mite
wuz given over to SIGH rejoicin ez
seldom falls to the lot NV man.
AT about 6 in the evenin, wuz
pulled out nv my chare and stood up
on whisky bari, for speech. /
he'd skasely commenst when | wuz
roodly pulled down. 1t wuz that
feend, Joe Bigler, who remarkt that
he felt very much like maxim a
speech hisself, and when in the
mood Nv diSchargin hisself he didn't
want no interrupshen.
| "My friends" he commenst, 81 am
with 700 to-nite to rejoice with 700
over the glorious results Nv the cleo
shun!"
