Tour man, why ask him ? lie was unconscious of llio cise and had to bo guided by the invitations of either side. At last amid cries of “ bring him up bring him this way” and shouts of laughter, li „ was led over to one side or the other, and give Ids vote, we hope according to his conscience, which we presume to have boon alive, though t ho body corporate was wrapped iu sleep.—ludepe ndent.
