Crampton Fixes It All Up.

Delphi Clltzen. All the parties are now at home in Monticello attending to their usual avocations. Sills swears by the great horned toad that he was not out of White county at the time, and Hums ton is equally as positive that he was not closeted with Miss Spenceraud their friends stand by them. It is now in order for Miss Spencer to assert that she was in the back yard making soap on the day mentioned, and the measly constable who tracked the party should be “seen,” (Kit can do that), and he will probably recollect that he was fishing for suckers that day. Of course.everybody will believe them. The Monticello tongues will cease wagging. Society will bo satisfied and the classic Tippecanoe will ripple by the illustrious -namesake of the home of Jefferson -on its joyous course to the'sea. In a few months the much abused parties can pose as martyrs, and later on ns sabits, when momuments will be erected to their memories and the kids of the coining generation will point to them ns the statues of Saint Rae, Saint Kit and Saint Hump.
