The editor of the smut machine, on the other side of the Cove Mountain, ycleped the Fulton Democrat, is calling upon Col. A. K. McClure to come over into Fulton County, and "bring his long purse with him."
What is Samson to do with McClure's purse? How does he know that the Col. carries a "long purse?" Has he ever seen it? If he has, under what circumstances? Please explain. The Spirit, just now, is very anxious to find some-body who has handled "the long purse" of the gallant Col.; or who has filled it for the man above all others whom the conductors of that journal hate. But they have not succeeded. Haul up Sansom [sic] and make him explain the dark meaning of his editorial.
When we hear a calf bellowing at the tail of a cow we infer that it is after milk--and when we see a man calling upon another for a sight of his purse we conclude he wants money. We would not insinuate that Sansom is purchasable--well, stop, we feel like taking that back, when we consider that he is a locofoco--or that he is thus making an offer to McClure, (whom he alleges will buy votes) but we ask for an explanation of the mystery surrounding his appeal to McClure to "come to Fulton County and bring his long purse with him."
We say that considering that he is a locofoco he may be among the purchasable. Our reason for saying this is founded upon the charges made by the Democrat, and the Spirit that McClure buys votes. Whose votes does he buy? Are they not locofocos? This slur is of their own manufacture.

--Whenever this solemn word must be pronounced, it carries with it sorrow and pain. Sometimes, and under one class of circumstances, the grief can scarcely be assuaged which arises from the cause that requires this word to be uttured [sic]. At other times the bitter cup is so well mingled with sweets that the paroxysm of grief is of short duration. It never can fall from the lips of parents upon a daughter about to leave the home of her childhood, without being attended with heartfelt anguish. No matter how good a match she may have made; no matter how happy may be the prospect before their loved one, she is lost to them--a vacant place is made at the family table.
Sometimes a Father, Mother, Sisters and Brothers are called upon to part with one whose voice has ever been gentle and kind in their midst--who has never been long absent at any one time--and whose place they all know can never be filled. Such was the case last Saturday morning when Mr. John L. Cooper, of Santa Cruz, California, left his place, with his young wife, the youngest daughter of our townsman, Mr. W. W. Paxton. She, the tender, beloved, amiable Alice, departed for her new home in the far off golden State with the husband of her confiding heart's choice. The separation was too tender for the eye of the public; we will draw a vail [sic] over it.
The happy couple are to set sail this afternoon, from the port of New York, for their home on the Pacific coast. As an evidence of the excellent choice our highly-esteemed young neighbor--the loved Alice--has made of a partner for life, we have but to say that, in addition to the Carriages, Stoves, & c., of which we made mention in a former issue, which Mr. Cooper purchased, of Chambersburg manufacture, for his own use in California, we have the pleasure to add that he subscribed and paid for the best family newspaper on the Atlantic side of the Rocky Mountains--The Repository and Transcript.

Drowned

--A child of Mr. George Cook, residing near Mt. Hope, Quincy township, aged about 18 months, was accidentally drowned on the 24th ult., under the following circumstances: The mother left the child, which was unable to walk, in the room, while she went to attend to some domestic affairs. During her absence, which was but for a few minutes, the child crept from the room into the yard, where a small stream of water passes. As soon as the mother returned the child was missed, when search was made for it and its lifeless remains were found in the rivulet referred to. No pen can describe the distress of the fond mother on beholding her dead babe--certainly no blame can attach to the parents for the sad accident.
