A Gentle Frost.

The ipgratitude of Republicans
has been remarked and likewise
the tendency of autocratic rule to
suppress or dwarf genius, but sci.
dom has such effects been brought
directly home to our own commun-
ity. Here every aspiration has gen.
orally been fertilized with abundant
and profuse promises, the seeker
after political preferment has been
buoyed with the cajolery of friends
and enemies alike and led along the
pleasant pathway of roseate hope at
least, until the proper time to sacri-
flee him arrived. But now a party,
fertile in resources, for some unex-
planned reasons, applies the AK and
decapitates a candidate before he
fairly enters the race.

The Democratic party of this
county, evidently for the purpose
of excluding the hoi polloi from its
ranks of office holders recently
passed a cast iron rule that no one
could 60 on its ticket without see

cases, is no doubt intended to be
proscriptive, and so it has proven in
the case of the learned and orna-
mental gentleman who has hereto
fore filed with such individual
dignity, and party credit the Office
of Coroner in this county. Why
the chieftians of that organization
have nipped the glowing aspirations
of this ornament of their party with

themselves, but they have, and

STRANGE FISH.

STRANGE FISH.
Years ago, it is related of cele-
brated hunter who was fond of tell
ing remarkable tales of his prowess,
he told to a select company how he
had killed fine buck, and strange
TO say, the bullet passed through
the hind foot and ear of the animal
Some of the company expressing a
little surprise at the extraordinary
shot, the hunter called in his faith
full servant to confirm the state
nent, and asked him: "Pompey,
didn | shoot deer, and didn't the
ball go through his ear and hind
foot?" "Yessir, was the prompt
reply, "it did " "Well, said one Of
the guests, twill you explain how
that could be?" "Yessir," " said
Pomp, with little hesitation. "You
see it was dis here way; dat deer

in front of the house. There are
some, too, who have fished in that
same spring with extraordinary re-
suits, but they did not get over two
kinds of fish. The 'Rev. " attached
