the conduct Of Passmore Williamson toward Col.
Wheeler's servants characterized as ''ill-timed,"

str Get, and when near an Orange County" Milk
depot, saw the storekeeper at the door with his
right hand immersed in the milk can. lie was
making violent demonstrations to obtain some
thing from the can, and this attracting the atten-
ton of the Lady, she awaited the result. Present
" the man, whe happened to be a native Of "Fader-
land" drew from the can, by one of his hind legs,
a fine, large-sized bull frog. Without considering
the injury which he might sustain in his business
by an exhibition of this kind, he unceremoniously
dashed the frog upon the sidewalk, and carried the
can of milk into the store, where it was duly re-
E tailed to his evening customers.
