They buy a load of produce or souielhing else of a farmer, and count the money out by turning over the ends of the bilis riglit before his eyes, so tliat he can see it is all rljtht, Uien hand it to liini, and he puts into his pocket, wheu he comes to pay it out he liuds a live or ten dollar bill doubled in the center, and that botli ends of the bill had been counted. The Howell Itcpublican sa3-s: It is said that Governor Hoadly, of Ohio, will accept a renomination "to oblige the President," on whom he has oallud at Washington.
