gentlemen from Rockville, Conn, visit

lures Of Springfield. The ladies' acted as
escorts foI tie gentlemen, ordering the

comforts Of he trip generally.
On the subject of leap year and the
rights and privileges of the ladies, the
Philadelphia Ledger says:
"Don'l be prudish, ladies', we beseech
You, any longer. Matrimony is the best
condition for us bru;es of men as well as
for your charming selves and you will
really be doing service by seizing all
stray bachelors Of this leap year, and i'm
pounding them in matrlmony. Some Old

the sexes were halves of pair of scissors.
and neither was good for much without
