The Front Royal (Va) Gazette tells of a
horse well known in that community as sold
ROAM" who lost shoe the other day, and
successfully, of his own free will and accord,
went to two blacksmith shops. At the first he
was repulsed, but Vulcan No. 2 was more ac-
commodating. Whether Old Roam disbursed
the quarter or directed it to be charged, the
Gazette does not state.

The practice Of bluing the paper pulp had
it's origin in sngularly accidental circum-

some linen, when accidentally she dropped her
bag Of powdered blue into the midst of some
pulp in forward state of preparation, and so
great was the fear she entertained of the mis-,
chief she had done, seeing the blue rapidly
amalgamated with the pulp, that all aluson to
it was studiously avoided, until on Mr.. But.
