FUNNY!
The last Richmond Enquirer contains the
following paragraph

H"a great pity that the Enquirer aud our.
serves cannot agree even as to a matter Of ftc,,
occurring between ourselves alone. We asser,
that the Enquirer has requested an exchange
oil papers with the Lynehburg virginian. in the
manner such requests are ALWAYS made-a,d
that we refused it in the manner such ,.ooests
are always refused, to wit. by not paving anv
attention to ii. We wlrecite the crcums,an.

every body else. The battle continued. and
wonderful TO say, we were enabled to carry on
our paper without the advantage ofan exchange
with the Enquirer-(as We hope we shall now
be enabled TO continue h, Notwithstanding we
have lost s l6 by the withdrawal OF the Post
Office patronge.) Al length, however, the vic
tory was won, aud The staggering Editor OF the
Enquirer found himself, as usual, in the nlnjoyi-

most ioftily above the heads of his neighhors
but he declared that he was in such a ine
humor (good.natured soul y thai he would

things in the same condition they were in be

five or six successive numbers, directed and
