4 A MERCHANT CowHIDED. him Right.
l few days since, quite an excitement was
created in dry goods establishment, in Eighth
+ street 1t appears that while lady was max
ing some purchases, quantity of lace was
missed, and she was Immediately charged with
r the theft, but she persisted that she was inno-
% cent, A proposition was then made to search
Z her, but this she declined to permit unless her
E husband was present, and she expressed her
1 willingness to send for that gentleman. This
arrangement was agreed to, and she dispatched
L 0 note to her lord, giving him statement of
the position of affairs and her unpleasant pre-
{ dcament. The husband fastened to the store
on the receipt Of the note, but stopped on the
road thither to purchase q cow-hide. Thus
< armed, he went to the dry goods establishment,
I and a search Of the person Of the wife was at
once instituted, but no lace was found, The
missing article was soon after discovered in o
= drawer, where it had been mislaid. The in
dignant husband then invited the dry goods man
teAstep out into the yard of the store, and he
thea and there applied the cowhide with much
yigor As may reasonably be supposed, con-
siderable excitement was the result Whether
the affair will end in pistols and coffee, or in
law suit, or whether the affront will be pock-
eted, we are not prepared to say, and will offer
no opinion concerning it. [Phil. Register.
An 0MEN,--The local editor of the Southside
Democrat has had, his curiosity excited by the
exhibition Of Shanghai egg, having on the
smaller end the letters N. ]. distinctly raised
from the surface. Had the letters been 7. ].
friend would have deciphered it easily; for
Tom Jefferson, Tom and Jerry, etc. instantly
suggest themselves to all. But N. J. is poser
Without claiming to be profoundly versed in
mysteries, we unhesitatingly say that N. j..
stands for New Jerusalem, and it follows that
the end of the world will come--some time.
Punch says that the reason why editors are
$50 apt to have their manners spoiled, is because
they receive from one correspondent and another
such vast number Of evil communications.
