A FROSTIER MARRIAGE,
Ono day rn early winter, my husband
received a summons to Uurk's settle,
mcnt, to unite a couple iu the bonds of
wedlock. It was especially requested
that I should accompany him, as we
shonld be expected to remain all night
and partuko of the festivities.
It was twenty miles to the settlement,
and we reaoi.cJ tbo log house of Mr.
Burke,' the lather cf the expectant
bride about noon. A dozon tow-hairod
children were at the door awaiting our
arrival. They telegraphed the news al.
most instautly.
"Marm ! inarm ! here's the elder and
and his woman. They're nothing but
folks I She's got a man's hat on, und
a turXey wing in front ot it j his nose is
liko Dad's, crooked as a cow-horn
squash.
Alas for Mr. Morrison's aquiline
nose, of which ho was a little vain.
" isam I " cried a shrill female voice
irom the interior of tho cabin, " ruu out
and grab tho rooster, and I'll clap him
into the pot. Kick that corn dodger
under the bed. Bill; you wipe the tal
low out of that cheer for tho minister's
wife, and be spry about it !"
Further remarks were cut short by
our entrance.
Mrs, Burke in a calico Bhort gown,
blue poticoat and bare feet canio for
ward wiping her face with her apron.
" How d'ye do, elder ? flow d'ye
do, marm ? Must exousc my head
hain't had a chance to comb it since
last week, Woik must bo did you know.
Powerful! sharp air, hain't it t Shoo,
there 1 Bill, drive thatjturkcy out of the
bread trough. Sal,take the lady's things.
Set right up to the fire, ma'am. Hands
cold? Well just run them in Bill's
hair we keep it long a purpose."
Bill presented his shaggy head, but I
declined with an involuntary shudder. -
" Law, it she ain't actually a shiver,
ing," cried Mrs. Burke. " Bring in
some more Wood. Here, ma'am take
this hot corn-dodger into your lap it's
as good as aoapstone."
A fearful squawk annouced the exe
cution ot the rooster, and shortly after
ward he Tas bouncing about in a four
quait kevtle, hung over the fire.
fcal returned to her churn, out the
extraordinary visitors must have made
her care.ess, for she upset the concern,
and the buttermilk weut swimming
over the floor.
" Grab the ladle, Bill," cried Mrs.
Burke, and help dip it up. Take keer,
dou't put that snarl of hair in. Strange
how folks will be so nast r. JJick, do
keep your feet out of the buUermilk ; it
woo. t be fit lor the pigs wheri the but.
tcr is gathered. There, Sal, do try and
churn a leetle more keerfnl. If you r
going to bo spliced tcr morror youncedn't
run crazy about it."
" 1 advise you to dry up I" remarked
the bride elect, thumping away at the
churn.
By this time I had got fairly warmed,
dirnier was ready and you may be euro
I did not injure myself by over eating.
Night came on early, and after a so
cial chat about the events of the mor
row, I signified my desire to retire.
Sal lighted a pitch knot, and began
climbing a ladder in one corner of the
room. I hesitated.
" Come on," said she, " don't be a.
fraid, Sam, Bill aud Dick, and all the
rest of yo, duck ycr heads while tho ci
der's wife goes up. Look out for the
loose board, marm ; and mind, or you'll
smash your brains out against the beam.
Take keer of the hole where tho chim.
bly comes through.
Her warning came too late. I cought
my foot in the end of a board,stumbled,
and fell headlong through interminable
space, but it was to tho room I had just
lof t, where I was sr.ved from destruc
by Bill, who conght ma in his arms
and set me on my feet, remarking cooly:
"What made you como that way ?
We gencraly uso the ladder."
I was duly couiiuisciated, and at Injf
got to bed. The less said about that
the better. Bill and Dick and four
others slept iu the same room with us,
and niado the air vocal with thair snor
ing. I fell asleep and dreamed that I was
being shot from the mnzzle of a Colum
biad, and was awakened by Mr, Morri
son, who informed me that it was morn-
The marriage was to take place before
breakfast, and Sally was ready clad in
her bridal robes when I descended the
ladder.
She was magnificent in green calico,
ove crinoline full four inches larger
than tho rest of her apparel, a whito
apron with red strings, bluo stockings, a
yellow neck ribton, aud white cotton
gloves. Her red hair was fastened in a
pug behind, and adorned with the tial

feathers of tho defunct rooster before
mentioned.
When it was announced that Lcm.
Lord, tho groom, was coming, Sally
dived behind a coverlet which hung a
cro i one corner of tho room to conceal
suudry pots aud kettles, and refused to
como forth.
Mr. Lord lifted ono corner of tho cov.
orlet and peeped in, but quickly retreat
ed, with a few tdinrp words from Sally,
advising him to mind his own busiuces.
Lemuel was dressed in bluo with
bravi buttons. Tho ontire suit had
been made for his grandfather on a simi
lar occasion. His hair was well greas.
ed with tallow, and his huge feet encas
ed in fikin pumps.
Very soon tho company began to
gather, aud the room was filled in a
short time.
" Now, elder," cried tho bridegroom,
" diivc ahead ! I want it done up nice;
I'm able to pay for tho job. Do you
hear ? Come, Father Burke, trot up
that ere gal."
But sally refused to bo trotted out ;
Ehe would bo married whero she was or
not at all. We argued and coaxed, but
she was firm; and it was concluded to let
her have her own way.
Mr. Morrison stood up ; tho happy
couple joined hands through a rent iu
the curtiu, and the ceremony proceeded.
Just as Mr. Morrisoifcvas asking
" Will you have this women," ctc.J
down came the coverlet, enveloping
both tninislcr and bridegroom, and fill
ing the houso rrith dust.
Dick had been up in tho loft and cut
the strings whioh held it.
Mr. Morrison crawled out, looking
decidedly shocpish, and Sully was oblig
ed to bo married openly.
To the tedious question Lemuel re
sponded

Sally replied-

son, when all was over.
" I in ready to do anything elder.
said Lemual, but Bkin mo if I know
about that, sir. Just show me uow,and
I'll do it if it kills me."
My husband drew back nervously,
but Sally advanced, threw her arms
around his neck and gave him a kiss
that made the very windows clatter.
" I turn it I don't do ditto I " cried
Lemuel, and hastily taking a huge bite
from a piece of maple sugar which he
drew from his pocket ho made a dash at

watch guard into a dozen pieces, tore
my bair down, and succeeded in plant

Then he turned to my hucband.
"Now, elder, what in tho damage 7
Dou't be alraid tq gpeak."
" Whatever you please," said Mr.
Morrison,
Lemual produced a picco of fur.
" There, elder," said ho there's a
musbrat tkin, and out in the shed is
two heads of cabbage, and you're wel
come to tho whole of it."
3Iy husband bowed his thanks, tho
young people went to dancing, Mrs.
Burke went to getting breakfast.
At my earnest request, Mr. Morrw
son got our horse and wo bado them
adieu. I never could have lived
through an other meal in that house of
love.
I have since heard that Mr. Lord

LETTER FROM GENERAL 11ASC0CK.
Louisville, July 27. Tho follow

St. Louis, July 13, 1SC7.
Major General Hancock :
1 deem it proper to direct your aften.
tion to statements made by the lladical
press to the effect that you aro greatly
disgatifified with tho results of tl.o Na
tional Democratic Convoution. Tho ob
ject of the statements is to create an
impression that you do not acquiesce in
the judgemcn-t of tLo Convention. That
your friends do hot, and in -consequence
Seymour and Blair will not havo their
cordial supportj I wish you to kuow,
General, that I huvo taken tho liberty to
pronounce these statements lake, and to
assure those who havo spoken with mo
ou the subjoct, that nothing could cause
you more regret than to find your
triends, or any of tbem, less earnest iu
supporting tho ticket which has beeu
nominated than they would havo been
had your own namo stood -in tho plaoo
of Mr. Seymour.
(Signed) S.T. Glover.
Newport, Huode Island, July ID.
S. T. Glover:
My Dear Sir : I am greatly obliged
for your favor of the 13th iust. Those
who suppose that I do not acquiesce in
the work of thS Xationel Democratic
Convention or that I do not sincerely
desire the election of its nominecs,know
very little of my character. Believing,
as I really do, that tho preservation of
constitutional government depends on
the success of the Democratic party in
tho coming election, were I to hesitate
in its candid support, I feel I should
not only falsify my own record, but
commit a crime against my country. I
ucver aspired to tho Presidency on ao
count of myself. I never sought its
doubtful honors and certian labors and
responsibilities merely for the position.
My own wish was to promote it I oould,
the good of the country, and to rebuke
the spit it of revolution which had inva
ded every sacred precinct of liberty.
When, there, you pronounoed the stato
mcnts in question false, you did exactly
right. Principles, not men, is tho mot
to for the rugged erisis in which we are
struggling. Had I been made a Presi
dential nominee I should have consid
ered it a tribute, net to me, but to the
principles which t had proclaimed and
practiced ; but I shall cease to revere
these principles because by mutual po
litical friends another has been appoint
ed to put them into execution ? Never ;
never These, sir, are my sentiments,
whatever interested parties may say to
the contrary, and I desire that all may
know and nndcrstand them. I shall
ever hold in gratoful remembrance tho
faithful fricuJs who, hailinur from every
section of tho Union, preferod mo by
their vote3, and other cxprc&sious of
confidence, both in aud out of the Con
vention, and shall do them all justico to
believe that they were governed by pa
triotic motives ; that they did not pro
pose simply to agraudize my personal
fortunes, but to servo their country
through mo, and that they will not suf
fer anything liko personal preferences
or jealousies to stand between them aud
their manifest duty.
I have the honof to bo, dear sir,
Very scspcctfully yours,

Important Testimony. All the
Radical papers of this city publish tho
statement of nn anonymous correspond
ent of the Springfield (Mass.) Republi
can, to this effect : He, tho anonymous
correspondent, met a man, not named,
who said ho 6crved in an Illinois regi
ment which onoe was part of a corps
under General Grant. Tho anoymous
correspondent avers that tho anony
mous soldier said he "never saw Grant
drink." We congratulate cur Radical
contemporaries on tho progress they are
making in contradicting a notorious fact,
by this equivocal piece of hearsay
through two anonymous witnesses.
Andersonville. Gen. Graut wrote
to Butler, when the exchango of prison
ers was going on with the lull approval
of tho rebelo;
Send no moro men in cxehnngo for
our sick prisoners iu the enemy's hands,
livery man released beoomes an active
soldier against us. If wo commence a
system of exchange wo will havo to fight
ou till tho whole South is extermiuated.
It is hard ou our men iu Southern pris
ons, but is humaulty to thoso left iu our
ranks to fight our battles.
That shows who was responsible for
the horrors of AudersouviUo.
The Radicals aro iu a peck of iroublo.
They can't trust the negro the Democ
racy, themselves or anybody elf c.
VOL UME E1GUT NUMBER Yd.
LIES WON'T SAVE THEM.
Governor Wise, in a speech mndo
Binco tho nomination of Seymour, said :
Secession '' not tha I ; the people arc
going to sweetie from RaiLcai'tsni.
The Radical journals have been nuot.
ing the first part "of the above Hcntetice
and omitting the conclusion. They
might in tho same way prove that thero
is no God by quoting from the Biblo.
Thero is a passage in that sacred book
which declares :
Tho fool hath said in his heart, tltere
is mo Goth
It would bo just as fair to quoto tho
latter clause in proof of atheism, oh it
U to quoto tho fust clauso of Gov.
Wise's remarks, omitting the rout of tho
sentence.
This is a ppesinicn of tho fairness and
decency of Radical journals. Knowing
that tho peoplo loathe their corrupt
party they have no hope of carrying a
single State except by bayonets, or tho
mo.it reckless lying ; and tho conse
quence is that the columns of their
newspapers are crowded with tho gros
sest of falsehoods. Tho same policy
will be adopted by their spcakcrs,if over
they manago to get peoplo enough to
gether to m.ike up a meeting. But it
will not do. The masses cannot be gull
ed this timo by tho lalse statements and
flimsy sophistry of the men who brought
such disasters upon tho people. The
cry for a change rings throughout the
whole laud, and no frail barrier of lies
cau stop the sweeping torrent of popu
lar excitement. In spite of their nkill in
lyiug tho Radicals will be utterly rout
ed. Lies wont save them this time.
Tho postmaster of Norwich, Conn., a
disabled soldier, has been assscssod $14
by tho Radicals for campaign purposes.
Being ouo ot thoso who voto as they
fough, ho declines tho invitation to pay
for four years more of usurpation.
Precocious Compoition A very
email boy has been writiug a series of
very funny compositions for tho Utica
Observer. The girls will hugely appre
ciate his last ono, which is as followK-
Girls I don't liko girls. Girls is dif
ferent from what boys is. Girls don't
play marbles and also giris don'c play
hookey. I played hookey once aud got
Whipped for it. Girls sometimes get
whipped, but not so much as boys, their
clothes qin't so well suited for it, that is
the. reason I supose' I never seo no
girls play base ball ,they say they do in
Boston. There aro plenty of girls in
Boston and big organs. Last year then
I was young, the teacher used tc mako
me set with the girls becauso I was
naughty. I cried. Big boys like girls
better than little boys. I went ou a
sleigh ride ono night with my si.star
Nancy and Tom Sykes. Wo wero going
to New Hartloid, aud when wo got up
wilh Pcgg's taveru Tom asked mo to
look in tho bottom of his sleigh for his
whip; and while I was looking he fired
off a torpedo. I asked him if ho had
any more torpedoes, and he said no, but
he red off another when I wa3n't look
ing. Girls dont liko to have men kiss
theiu. they always say dou't ! If they
wasn't fools they would turn their heads
iho other way, but they never do that.
I saw Tom kiss Nancy once aud I told
my mother. Then my mother put mo tu
bed. When a young gill takes out
her handkerchief iu the street aud wipes
her noso, the meu who earn their living
by standing in-front of the pine block
always wip their nnsc3 at tho same time,
if they see her. Girls get married some
times but not always. Thoso that don't
get married don't want to. When they
get married they have wedding cake. I
like wedding cake; but I don't seo any
fun iu getting marriod especially to a
girl-
The Radicals aro busy making p a
Cabinet for. Horatio Seymour. Th'
shows that they fully expect to see him
elected.
A love of Naturo, the handiwork of
God, is almost essential to the growth
of pure thoughts as-is the lovo of God.
With ueither, tho heart is barren in

Home op tiie Next President. A
correspondent of the New York Snnf
who has lately visited Gov, Seymour,
ihus describes his domicile :
" 'Tho Governor,' m the DemocratM
nomiuec, is faiucliavly known by all his
friends and neighbors and that includes
pretty uiaeh everybody iu this region
'The Governor' resides in a plain, un
pretending farm co-tago, about two
miles north of, aud overlooking tho city
of Utica. Something in the outward
appearance of the houso, though uot ex
actly in tho aichitecturc, something in
the pastoral air that surrounds, it, some,
thing' in tho approach to it, and in tho
view from the verau luh that stretches
along its front something thero is in
a'l these features of the Governor's
home that, while not oll'jrditig particu
lar points of refemblar.ee, inevitably call
to oue,s mind Mount Vernon. A snug
little (arm of about three hundred aud
fifty acres surrounding the rural reheat
has been the property of Mr. Seymour
and bin ancestors for half o century.
Tho house in which tjio proprietor iiuv
resides was built for a tenant of the
farm, aud wheu a few years ago, Mr.
Seymour grew weary ot law and
sought privacy and retirement, a few
alterations nud repairs rendered tho
place amply imposing and Fufliiiienly ac
commodating lor his own wants and
thoso of his lnmily. A fne grove of
ancient trees surrounds tho house, af
lordiugttn inviting sh-ade,whilo walksand
drives aro abundant without materially
encroaching upon tho uncfulncis of tho
soil. The houso is furnished iu keep
ing with its outward appearance, its
suriotlinlings, and tho well know tastes
and character of its occupants. An air
of refined comfort peivadcs the whole.
From tho verauduh a view is oltained
well worth u long journey to enjoy.
Down the grocu slope aud ucross the
rich meadows of the Muhawk valley, ull
covered at this time with toiling farm,
cis hasteuing to secure the over abuud
ant crop of hay, taking in the r -n'iro
city of Utica, aud all its eun'ouj;,,,
stretching far awuy up .; ,o.Tn j"
