Barker, of Newton county, democratic candidate for representative in the State legislature, made us a friendly visit last Monday. Mr. Barker is a man of honesty and sound practical judgment and we would like to support him were it not for his abominable copperheadism and — for other objections. We understand that ho concedes his defeat by any majority loss than 150. —i *•«*-• Last night we were the recipients of a pleasant serenade by the Brass Band. As the result of patience, Eereev-erence and natural talent, the oys arc becoming fair musicians and make rather a good noise.— While concluding their entertainment with our favorite Yankee Doodle we thought it was a good thing to belong to a Brass Band for the reason that after the carpenters have driven their last nails and the season has closed, after barbers have dressed the last poll and patrons become bald, after public officers have made their last entry and audited their final aocounts, after millers have ground their last grists and can take no more toll, after apothecaries have mixed their and patients have all recovered, aftor postmasters have delivered the last letter and correspondence has ceased, after shoemakers have driven their last pegs and people go barefoot, after printers have set their last types and run off their last jobs, each member of a Brass Baud has still means ieft to raise the wind. Gentlemen, thank you for the compliment; and in conclusion permit us to suggest that yon ever accord when ’taking your hftrns—be moderate in your taps —keep your symbols untarnished—keep firm ou youv ba: ; .
