NOT BAD nsr--YANKEE VS.. ENGLISH.


The Vicksburg Inelligencer recalls
the story ola quiet, bat enthusiastic
Yankee who, some years since, was
travelling in stage coach with
two Englishmen, who annoyed him
very much by running down every
thing they saw in the country, and
freely determined that every thing in
England was decidedly superior
Jonathan bore it but impatiently.-
After some time thunder storm broke
over them, the horses dashed off in
alarm and the Englishmen were nearly
dead with fright, when SUDDENLY bolt
of lightning struck the two near horses,
killing them instantly. and arresting
the stage, which, in the sudden
piunges of the leaders was upset
Jonathan was the first to come out, and
as the Englishmen crawied out, badly
hurt, and half dead with fear, he ex-
claimed, There, quail darn ye, have
We any better thunder than that in En-
glandl'

our statement that he was formerly Wing, turned
against Us for the sake of Office &c. We made

positive that unless some one testiies to his person
