-Rumor had it, that Edward Delro,
ST., of this place, was drowned in tho

contradicted. The fact of the party hav-
ing been seen on our streets this morning
is pretty good evidence that Edward still
lives.

been again verified in the fact of re-
ward having been offered by Mr.. Hiram
Scarborough, for the arrest of the Of

and lofty decorating, in the absence o
"Uncle Jake, who was otherwise occu
pied at the time, but he "came in ON th,
homestretch, y for the work in the lowe
part of the structure.
We think it would be a good idea 70
our Democrats here, to get up parade
In years gone by, our Democrats coulC
turn out large and brilliant affair o
this kind, and we think they can do ever
/ still better at the present. "Whoop up

people had prepared Examinations fo
their reception, but were doomed to dis
appointment.

removing it from the dampening in

as punctually swinging it to the breez'
in the morning. But alas it has disap

twineth,' no doubt. We have not ye
dared to question it's keeper as to it
whereabouts, as we sympathise with hi

There has been a serious and weight,
