consequence of the horses taking flight
On the 18th, William Lochridge, stone cutter,

ANEcDorE. We heard a story some time
since, of Joe -, which will bear repeating
Joe was one evening seated in the bar room
of country tavern in Canada, where assem-
bled several old countrymen discussing various
matters connected with the "pomp and crcum-
stance of war" In the course of some remarks
one of them stated that the English govern
ment possessed the largest cannon in the world
and gave the dimensions Of one which he had
seen. Joe's yankee pride would not allow him
to let such an assertion pass without contra
diction.
"Poh! gentlemen" said he, 81 won't deny
but that is q fair sized cannon; but you are a
leetle mistaken in supposing it to be the largest
in the world. It's not to be named in the same
minute with one of our Yankee guns, which |
saw in Charlestown last year. Judas that was
a cannon Why, sirs, it is so internally large,
that the soldiers were obliged to employ yoke
of oxen 10 drao in the BALI"
1.-The devil they WERE" exclaimed one of his
hearers, with smile of triumph; ''pray can you
tell me how they got the oxen out again2"
"Why, you fool, " returned Joe, "they ,tnpok-
