D~ During the violent wind sto

% During the violent wind storm
ofyesterday, many laughable incidents
occurred to footpads. We noticed a
sober-sidsd old gent preambulating the
center of the street, bearing his coat
tails upon his shoulders, and leaving ex-
posed to the gaze Of the curious, ample
evidence of the melancholy fact, that he
was deprived of the blessing Of having a
helpmate, who would consider it pleas
ure to make the necessary repairs in his
dialapidated unmentiona bles.
Among other things, our friends of
the "Cottage were under the necesi-
ty Of removing their Eagle +" from his
high perch on the sign-post, (wherc he
hung by one wing,) to prevent his de-
parture on prospecting tour!
