There are said to be troubles brewing on
the Canada frontier. This is likely, but
we opine that few will be found desperate
enough to keep any other than the safe side
Of the line. 1t is bad business to be shot
and especially bad to swing in half inch
rope, with no chance to put down fellows
feet, when he gets out of breath.

CATCH HIM.-If ever mortal was gifted
with the power of ubiquty, that person
must be Gen. Scott. If the papers are to
be believed, he is either "three gentlemen
at once" or he has the power of being
where he is not. The same print often tells
us, he has gone great variety of ways,
and is staying at. at least half a dozen DIFF.
ferent places. From Buffalo paper, we
learn he has gone west. Detroit print
received on the same day, tells us he has
gone east, and by the way of CLEVELAND we
receive the startling intelligence thuthe has
gone both ways. We are sometimes dis
posed TO fear that the General will prove the
strongest opponent to our favorite. John
Smith, in the presidential canvass, for il
John has the faculty of being IN great ma.
ny places at time, General Scott car
match him by being continually on his way
to about twice as many. Besides, John, be
ing sedentary fellow will be in danger oil
being outstripped by competitor, who be.
ing continually upon the run, cannot fail te
run well when he is put to his speed.

The Defiance Barometer goes on the ad-
vance pay system, and as natural conse-
queDce, the editor is always in good spirits,
1t Is strange that people who read newspa-
pers do not see their own interest in this
matter. A half starved editor will make q
lean parer; even his flights will be lugu-
brious, and his broadcast jokes tinged with
black bile and melancholy. He may be a
keen satirist, but never a good natured, jol-
ly, funny fellow. Fat and good humor 60
together, and sour fat man is a monster
that seldom makes his appearance in this
world Of ours. We have tried the credit
system on newspapers until we are tired Of
1t, and not only tired but soured. Ourface
exhibits the tracks of care, and trouble has
wrought premature wrinkles on our brow.
But bide the closing of this volume, will
you, and if we, ever get caught in the
scrape again, may the sheriff scrape ac-
quaintance with our sleeve, and barbarous
catch-poles tug at the tails Of our upper
garment, till we are fully purged OF this in
iquity.
