The family opposed to Newspapers

The man who don't take his county
pap was in town yesterday. He brought
his whole family in two-horse wagon.
He still believed Gen. Taylor was Pres
ident. and wanted to know if the tx
chatkians" had taken Cuba, and, if so.
lchere they had taken it. He had sold
his corn for twenty-five cents-the price
being thirty one-but. upon going to de-
posit the money, they told him 1T was
mostly counterfeit. The only hard mon
ey, he had was some three-cent pieces,
and those some sharper had run on him.
for half dimes! His old lady smoked a
"cob pipe" and would not believe that
anything else could be used. One Of the
boys went to blacksmith's shop to be
measured for pair of shoes, and another
mistook the market house for a church.
After hanging his hat on meet-hook.
he piously took seat on butchers stall.
and listened to an auctioneer. whom he
took TO be the preacher. He left before
"meetin' was out" and had no great opin-
ion Cf the sarmint."
One Of the girls took lot of "seedon
ions to the post-office to trade them for
letter. She had baby. which she car
ried in 'suga--trough. stopping at times
to rock on the sidewalk. When i: cried,
she stuffed its mouth. with an old stock
ing and sang Barbara Allen The oldest
boy had sold two coon SKINS and was on
bust When last seen, he had called
for glass of 'sody and water, 'and stood
soaking ginger bread and making wry
faces. The shop-keeper, mistakeing his
meaning, had given him mixture of sal
soda and water, and it tasted strongly of
soap. But he'd heard tell of sody and
water, and was bound TO give tia fair trial,
puke or no puke. Some town fellow"
came in and called for lemonade with a
fly in it, whereupon our 'soaped' friend
turned his back and quietly wiped several
flies into his drink.
We approached the old gentleman and
tried 10 get him to subscribe but he
would not listen to it. He was opposed
to internal Improvements and he
thought 'learnin' was very wicked in
wentlon, and culterwated nothin' but
vanity and wexation.' None of his fam
lily ever learned to read. but one boy, and
be .teached school awhile, and then went
to studying divinity. Madison Banner.

SignOr BlitZ.

The yankee Blade" tells the follow
ing good story, showing how Blitz ONCE
was nonplussed. The occurrence took
place at town in Connecticut.
The Signor contrary to his usual cos
tom, had consented to stop at this town
on his route through New England by
the assurance of certain persons that 1t
would pay we'll for the trouble. as amuse-
ments were scarce, and the free list"
small. He accordingly gave short Sc
ries of performance in large hall in the
principal tavern in the place, which was
a large old fashion structure. The hall
was crowded to lis fullest on each of the
three evenings, and every thing worked
to admiration until the last night. when
q mischievous boarder conceived the idea
of varying the entertainment, slightly.
One of the most popular things in the
whole entertainment was ventriloquism
when the Signor held an animated con-
versation with Peter" in the chimney,
which was situated on one side of the
hall, near the middle. The aforesaid
boarder was aware that the smoke house
HlS oAA(C Va OoNOi =" 80
cured, was situated over the hall, and an
aperture in the main chimney at that spot
gave access to the hue which led from the
fireplace of the ballroom.
He accordingly captured large cat,
and ensconced himself in the smokehouse
just before the feat OF ventriloquism.was
to begin. When the Slgnor commenced
calling for Peter he allowed him to
converse with the imaginary interlocutor
for short time without interruption,
but when Blitz requested Peter" to come
down near the Fireplace for little fam
iliar CHAT, the boarder's voice replied, that
he would see him in certain place OF
wouldn't"
Bltz was hardly able to conceal his
establishment at this reply, but the audi
ence thought the magician was outdoing
himself, and cheered him tremendously
peter, come down, will your"
''See We in my home first. Nor my
name amt Peter, neither. He keeps the
keys of the other place"
.'What is your namc?"
al am Old Scratch
Blitz scratched his head. and the audi
ence thought he was getting ether pro-
fame. Blitz knew he was sold, but cod
think of nothing better than to continue
the talk.
''Are you Old Scratch. the FIRE king?'
"Yes."
ii would be happy to see Old Scratch
here"
"Well, are you ready?'
Eyes, all ready"
The words had scarcely entered the
chimney. when the big tom cat come
tumbling and scratching down, filing the
magician's eyes with SCOT, and his audi
ence with inextinguishab laughter!
The cats eyes glared like flash from
two loco-foco matches, and he disappear
ed with a bound, and Blitz was utterly
discounted, and was compelled to clos,
the performance with finishing the las
act.
