oeesion in the afternoon and ni'bt of the
15th inst.
I'nf wtmiatciy. but unavoidably, dreneb
iiiS ram bepiu to fall n the "-reiious niaht
and continued until ill tlie afternoon. I hui
was ibx-idv-dly diacourairj;. but the enthusi
asm of the people was nearly or 1'jite e.jual
to tlie emergency, and the turn-out was tin
exceptionally large. Only for this untimely
rain the display would live been un
precedented in this end of the county.
IVspite the rain, by the middle of the af
ternoon there were several hundred strangers
in town. Soon after dinner they cota met iced
coming and kept it up until night. The
rain till began to slack up . little after diD
ner. and .bout three o'clock . demand was
made for the ox, and he bad to come. Mr.
John Wallace. oft?onneIh.vilie. did the roast
ing, and it was well done. Johu knows ex
actly what is need.d. and when the ox came
on the table, warm and smoking. Le looked
like something lit to eat. There was no sand,
dirt or .she hanging on the outside.
The ox was soon carved, and witthe ad
dition of a few hundred loaves of bread, was
d'stributed among the people who seemed to
eat it with . relish. All agreed that it was
good, even the ladies said so.
As soon as the rain subsided . little the
Republicans commenced decorating their
bouses and preparing to illuminate.
When nisht came on every building occu
pied by Republicans wasbeatiufuliy illumin
ated. Wlen the torcb-ligbt pricession
marched upend down the streets the town
never looked more beautiful.
Every body seemed to enjoy himself, even
our Iemocrtic friends tried to look cheerful,
and they did look pleased.
Tiic victory achieved this fall means some
thing more than a mere triumph at the polls,
the benefits of which are t j pa-ss aay soon
and be forgotten. There are eveuts in the
lifetime of individuals, as well as iu the his
tory of nations, that are of enduring im-

j their confluences. The victory so fairly
won this (all will bean enduring triumph

Human slaverv and s cesKn were defeated
in and both lie buried so deep that the
hand of resurrection will never reach them.
Free trade is one of the relics of human sla

and improvident, and bxiked upon the free

in lff will continue to transmit in cir.se

An Important Decision.
Ju.igo Mcpherson, at larbanon. oa Tues
day handed down an imiiortaut decision, in
which he declares . part, at least of the
Brooks high license law unconstitutional.
Jacob Do!!, a citizen of I-chanoti. not . hotel
keeper, anj not engaged in the L.iuor basi-
ners. had disnse.l liquor to bis friends in
his own house on several wasi,.!:. on Sun-
day, with hospitable intent, and for this he
was arreteU and lrie.1 un.Jer that section of
the law wliu h forbids the seii'riig or giving
away of liquors by any jierson. A sjieciai j
venli.it was taken, ami in entering judgment i
thereon for the defen-.a:it the o;inion n..
deiivertsl. ;
The judge says that tiie sweeping language
of the act extends to ail iiersons witiiin tiie ;
coriiinor.wea.th, whethi r or not tin y are
er.gsgvd in the sale of intoxicating liqaors.
and makes it a criminsl offense for any eiti
zen in his own home to give to a frii ml. or
even a member of his own family, a glass t.f
wine on the tirst day of the weex. n liie
grouud, however, that no notice of su ;h an
intention is given in the title of the ocUjind
that lo piare s-jch a construct! m uj-.n it
would be to make the liue misleading, the
court decided that so much of paragraph 17
as Airbills a persou wlio is Dot a seiier of
liquor to give intoxicating drink to any oth
er person on the Sabbath is in cofiict with
the constitution, and i therefore void.
