RoBBrNG AN EDrroR.--0ne night last week
rogue entered the meat house of the editor of the
Parkersburg (Va.,) News, and feloniously took
and carried away six hams and two shoulders.
The editor considers it great loss, for two
| reasons; first, because he has no money to buy |
any more; secondly, if he had money, no more
hams Of such quality . are to be bought In that |
regioIs The rogue doubtless thought an editor |
| had no business with six hams. 1t was piece |
| of extravaganza not allowable for men who are |
remarkable for their observance Of the com
mandments of the Bible. ." Give us our daily |
Bread says the good book; but such is the
extravaganza of the times, that even editors are
sometimes expecting also their daily meat 1t
| is time such extravaganza should be rebuked.

Just astern Captain Greenlaw's new steamer,
