Chinese widow being found tanning the
tomb of her deceased husband, and being
asked the cause of so singular mode of
showing her grief, accounted for it by say
ing that he had made her promise not to
marry again while the mortar on his tomb
remained damp, and as it dried bot slowly,
she saw no harm in aiding the operation.

Uncle Sam Behind Time.

We received on Saturday evening last
through our Post Office, letter from a valued
friend in Red Bank, dated January tentA
giving us some items of local news in that
vicinity, for which we return him our thanks,
although the contents of his letter is now
too old to be published; the substance how
ever has been given to our readers long
since. We hope this will be sufficient apology
to our friend, as he has no doubt thought it
strange that his letter did not appear in our
columns We hope the hardness of Uncle
Sam will not prevent him from writing again.
Perhaps we shall both have better luck next
time
There has been great carelessness somewhere,
but who to blame, we cannot imagine. We
hope Uncle Sans servants will be more par
ticular with our letters for the future. Four
teen miles, in four weeks, is rather slow work
