Eelnburg Notes.

The election passed off pretty quietly
here. little difficulty occurred in the
morning, but soon died out, and every
thing went to work TO make votes for his
OF her political friends.
The Young man who has been showing
a Woodstock lady's (O picture around IN
the stores of Edinbnrg, should get the
photo of the other Woodstock beauty who
is so badly mashed on lin, and then he
will have pair.
Our worthy Sheriff. Dad, met with
painful accident on the night OF the cleo
ton. He was rushing along in the dark
for the depot after election returns, when
his face came in violent contact with
board that had been carelessly left pro
iecting over the sidewalk at the vacant
lot opposite the Methodist church. The
blow was a very severe one, knocking the
upper lip through, and breaking his front
teeth, but this part of the damage the
dentist can repair for abont $500. Such
carelessness, or rather reckless disregard
for other persons safety as TO leave board
project over a sidewalk should be punish
ed by heavy fine if nothing else
The dam at S. P. Hollingsworth u Bros
furniture factory and saw mill, on the
creek, near town, was washed away 10y
the heavy food on Friday last, causing a
heavy loss. The dam at the Graudstaii
Touring mill was also carried away about
the same time, causing serious loss Inc
dam at the Allen mill, farther up the
creek. went along with the Others, thus
helping to swell the losses. All the loot
bridges across Stony creek, above the town
were carried away. The low lands were
badly washed and much fencing was
swept away. As far as we can learn all
the dams on this stream were either
washed away or seriously damaged.
Hon. Thos. II. Dudley addressed re-
publican meeting here on Thursday night
of last week. His able speech was listen
ed TO with the deepest attention, broken
at times by ringing rounds Of applause.
Notwithstanding tho inclement weather
the audience was good one, and Mr.
Dudleys speech amply repaid them for
Drawing the rain and storm. At the close
Mr.. Dudley was presented with a beauti-
ful silver goblet by the republican ladies
of Edinburg. 1t was handsomely engrav-
ed with his name and an appropriate in
scripton.
Our young men and boys concluded to
raise a little old Cain, in our midst and
give the "Burg" shaking up on CAN
IIallow Fen" They succeeded as was
abundantly proved by the condition of
things the next lmorning. Every wagon,
buggy and vehicle in town went visiting,
some that had not had their Squeezing,
rheumatic wheels moved for "lO, these
many years" All the boxes in the place
were piled in front Of Wightman Il Bro. :
store and the wagon yard was blockaded.
A bar sign was placed over the door Of
well known prohibitionist. In fact every
thing movable was moved, and the cold
est inhabtant' was bewildered the next
morning for all the old landmarks had
been so changed that they were in the
condition of the cold woman in Mother
Goose, who event to market, her eggs for
to sell" and who went to sleep by the
highway. NoCLing was injured, we are
glad to say, and the only harm done was
the work required next morning nputtng
things to rights A few inscriptions were
posted on doors, but we are informed it
was only for fun, no malice being intended.
Everything was performed quietly and
in regular order, the captain Of the squad
giving his command by certain low notes
which he whistled.
