Campaign Reminiscences of 1852. “1 remember a scrape in which Murat Halst ad wti involved. From ■ 1848 to 1852 the boys 4t Farmer's College (now Belmont College) six miles from Cincinnati, were divided into ; Free Boilers, Democrat* Barn Burn- i era and Whigs, at d contention ran! high. - Among the Democrats were Murat Halstead of the Commercial Gazette.and A. B. Husted now Judgo Hushed. These two bovs were constantly plotting Against old Captain Strong, a fierce Whig, who kept a notion and grocery store near the school. “The old Captair, was the most obliging man in the world, as he would ge*. up at midnight to s«li the boys five cents worth of pea-nuts, but he was a Whig from the ground up, and in 1852 his enthusiasm r n to poles. The Whig boys would help the old Captain to raise a nole one day and :be next week the Democ.atlc boys would cut it down. Strong would put up another pole a little h gher than the o>ther, and in a we*k down it would go. The old gentleman had lost six oi eight poles when his indigo nation took a dangerous turn.

“He put up a pole higher than any that gone before, and publicly announced that be would load up his old musket with slugs and would sit up at night and watch his po»*\ and it any one attempted to cut.if down he would shoot. The boys knew the oH man wa« in earnest, aud for several weeks the pole was not molested But one stormy night Halstead and Husted set out from Cincinnati armed with augers and saws, determined to cut down Captain Strong’s Whig pole

When they reached the ground they saw the old Cnptnic seated in his chair at a wiud< \v commanding a view of the field of their operations. “Th"y waited until 1 o’clock, and still the captain remained at his post At last Halstead crept up. and hugging the ground, tried a saw on *he pole-very close to the ground This made t«o much mi;r and Hosted slipped up with the auger. By lying fla* on the ground and keeping tiie pole between him and the captain he avoidtd observation. But it was slow work, and Husted gave way to Halstead, who having got his spunk up. persisted despite the occasional movements of the man on guaid. About daylight the pole went down with a crash, and Halstead and Hust d made a wild break lor the city. They got in for a late breakfast, mud from head to foot, but up to the time of Captain Strong’s death they never told the story of cutting down a Whig p ole. Int era Ocean.
