in which, on certain wet day, chaiss
containing two Of the town council stuck
fast. DR.. Bylcs came to his door, and sa.
luted the officials with the remark, "Gen-
tlemen, have often complained to you OF
this nuisance without any attention being
paid to il. and am very glad TO SEQ you
stirring in this matter nos."
In the year 1880 very dark day occurred,
which was long remembered as "the dark

Doctor to know II he could tell her the
cause Of the obscurity. "My dear" was
the answer Of the messenger, "give my
compliments to your mother, and tell her

threo hundred street lamps. The same day,
the Doctor happened to receive call from
q lady whose conversational powers wero not

the ship this morning from London, and the
sclec,mcn have wisely ordered them to be

forthwith dscampedin search Of tho particu-

When brought before his judges at the
