"Miller an insect whose wings
appear as if covered with white dunt
or powder, like a miller's clothes.''
Webster-on-a-bridgc.
The clothes of our miller arc not
covered with dust. The dust is In his
head, where in ordinary people the
brain is located.
Oyster, Kime and Burke men buy
their Stoves and Tin Wure at 42 Main
Street.
In the late canvass, not one word
was said ii our hearing against Kime,
and, defeated, every one lias a kind
word for him, but alas, like poor dog
Tray he was in had company. The
Democrat however "went for" Oyster
personally and secured his election.
Thanks.

"A prophet is not without honor,
save in him own country and in his
own house."
As a prophet the moustache that
runs the Democrat is not a success at
home or abroad, that assumed infalli.
bility should be so mistaken is matter
of surprise. To use one of his own fa
vorite quotations. "Can such things
be, and overcome us like a summer's
cloud, without our special wonder."
Miller says its a lie; be is to be
berth clerk and not bar-tender on that
salt river tnn.

mistaken about the sheriff or did he
only lie? STARRY.
Some of our Democratic friends, and
a few of our slick let on to be Republi
