One dispatch says intense excitement prevaiisc* on the 26ih, and there was danger of toe Governor being lynched. Scott was detained by the Sheriff and under guard. The particulars la brief seem to be that young Soott got drunk, and young Drury t< ok charge of him for the night, taking him to a room In a drug store. Mr*. Scott first sent for her son to come home, but he ref pawl to go. Governor Scott then went.— Drury refused to admit him to the room, whereupon the ex-Gorvrnor drew hta pia ol find fired, Ui« ball felt abouhl be designed to amuae the company as a whole, and never to offend the portion call* d upon to pa) ic In outer to llh.atr*tu our Idea of a good forfeit, and eDo to furnUb suggestions to ihoae who enj «y and ’’ake purt In etirh |!e«uM.nt amuse- raoLts, we give a few of the forfeit* that may be Imposed. (1) Put a news paper upon the fl >or In such a wa) that two porsoos can stand on it and not be able to touch ouch other with iheir hands. This forfeit Jiao the honor of being old, but It was not our goiriTortune to meet It until a short time ago, and was forced to ’give it up * By puttingr the paper In a doorway, one Lalf inside and the otbet -niiekle the -fmtm.- and closing xlr^ door over It the twd persons can easily stand upon It and still be beyond each other’s reach, (2) To go out of the room with two b‘ga, and come In with six. Not difficult, if onw-thiuks to bring a chair along on return. 8 To act the Dumb Servant. The per son who has the forfeit to pay must act out the answers to the questions put by the master of the ceremonies; as How do you make bread? How do you eat soup ? etc. This forfeit will cause much merriment If proper ques tions arc put. (4) Pot one hand where the other cun not touch It. One can get out of this difficulty by put ting one hand on the elbow of th'- other arm. (5) Place a pencil on the floor so that one can not jump over It. May be done by putting it dose to the well of tbs room. (6) Put a question that no one can answer with a NO! This D not hard if one thinks to ask. What doea YES spell? (7) Push a chair through a finger ring.— This forfeit is made by putting the ring oq the Anger and pushing the chair—any.other object #t!i do as Wfll —with the Huger.
