F. Nh. EDIroR:--In my last, I informed
you that the "Vagabond Tsmperaac,
Lecturers" were expected to visit US
The friends Of the cause looked for q
rare treat, while the enemies hung
their heads in dependency. Well,
the day arrived, and before 10 o'clock,
crowds were to be seen vending their
way to the fair ground, the place Of
meeting. There was some disappoint-
ment felt, when it was announcedtha
Hawkins was not present: But this
was soon dispelled when Jccelyn in
his eloquent style began to address
them. He kept them chained to he
spot for about three hours, by his I'M
answerable arguments, interspersed
with wisicism, BY the way Jocelyn is
full team, hitched to the temperance
car. Everything progressed harmo,
niously and in good order, except that
doggery keepers sign, had strayed
away from its proper owner, and was
found at the meeting. But not being
able to ascertain the rightful owner
(none claiming it, nothing more could
bedone than lead him from the ground
after which there was no more dis
turbance.
AssAILINo AN EDIroR.
Quite an excitement was kicked up,
by an attack made upon the editor
last week; growing out Of an article
published in the last Herald, which
states that certain persons had threat
ened to "whale" the editor. One Of
them accosted the DIR. in a menacing
manner demanding the authors name.
Getting no satisfaction he made some
threatning movements but finding
the Doctor not easily scared, the
farce ended without any serious re-
suits.
