with such sharp shooters As these we need no stand

these men IS match for a score OF invaders"
When the involuntary witness laid down the paper,
he was more WIDE awake than ever, and went home
ward with a firm conviction that the people of this
world are dreadfuIy add tied to humbug.
We don't hardly believe the story ofthis ''involuR-
tary witness y II looks too much like those ancient
Joe Millers about shooting woodcock ard catching
bass with silver bullets We deem it altogether a
SANDER since the majority of our companies do know
how to shoot and those who dent always carry
muskes thu: settle at target truly as the needle
10 the pole-many of these old weapons going of on
an annual target excursion as often twice week
for the whole season. We shall therefore protest
against the above SANDER we know that these COM
panles are wen drilled, march well, and gothrough
their eyoIutOns in correct and careful manner, and
we have no sort of doubt that they shoot and DO
shoot all that their targets represent. The "invol-
untary witness Is certainly mistaken.
THE PAVING OF BR0ADwAY.-Ihe pro-
iect of LAYING down Russ Pavement from Whitehall
TO FOurteenih-st which has been deemed as good as
decided upon, seems to have suddenly struck the
Opposition members Of the Common Council as
hurried affair and after four years consideration,
since the first experiment with this sort OF paylng0
they are all at once afraid that the Aldermen are IN
too great a hurry. The Sage OF the Twelfth Ward
thinks that if the people Will wait tunl the Loco
Foco Board get in, We presume they can get Ihe
same pavement for 81 per yard for which they now
pay So So and thereupon he begs that the thing may
be DELAYED. Now it seems quite certain, 10 our
humble APPREHENSION that if the people are especial
" pleased with ANYTHING that the Council has done
within decade. IL IS in The experiment Of the Russ
Pavement, and that they particularly anxious that
II should he put down, in Broadway at least, as
quickly as possible. So think the Opposition Alder
men the real question with them is merely to stave
off the completion of the contract with Russ d Reid
in tba boo hal or their nolliIeal friends
eot their adhesive fingers into the $4,000.
