Last election the democrats tried to buy
republicans over with apple-butter, COW
pasture. blankets, boots, shoes, &c, and
this year they are using fine Southdown
rams. A better price, it is true, but orr
friend, Mr.. VIM. 2. Fravel, living on Stony
creek, says he is too staunch republican
70 be bought even with SOuthdOwn rams.
We would suggest without being ofiicious,

Miss Eliza Reedy, who, the Washington
correspondent of the Alexandria Gazette
says was in that city soliciting subscrip-
tons for the purpose Of organizing dem
ocratic brass band in this place, returned
last Saturday. We are informed that a
prominent member Of the band called on
her and reported to Tammany " the same
evening, but as yet nothing has been made
public.
We suppose it was mistake abont col
lecting money to organize band but
rather TO uniform them "A the band was
organized last February, over six months
ago.
As TO uniforms, the members Of the
republican brass band have no objection
to seeing the democratic boys come ont in
a new uniform at any time, nor do they
care how they get it, but they do object
to members Of that band casting slurs
about the Way they got theirs, after the
agreement that was made between the
leaders Of the two bands.

of fully 800 people at our town on Thurs

Col. Allen came into our town quietly and
made a pleasant and plain speech, and
left bearing the good wishes Of the people
with him. No parade, or trumpeting, to
herald his approach, no personal allnsions
TO himself. except TO refutc the ISLANDERS
charged against him by his enemies, no
rehash Of all the old dead ISSUES Of the
past. but q sensible and forcible argument

bill we're mastery in their effect, and will
tell on the Sd Of November next. We
wish all the people in the county could
have heard it, rs that is the kind Of speech
we need. The party that is not afraid to
discuss the issues need never fear the con-
demnation of the people.
Senator Riddleberger and r. J. Walker
were also present, and were called on, and
made short, stirring speeches.
The writer, with brother typo and the
Junior telegraph operator, of this place,

Justice to the delicacies of the table, the
