MELANCHOLY CAsUALrY.-Mr. Shields, editor
of the Glenwood Times, says some miserable
cuss" stole his two only shirts! And t.e worst
part of it was, they had just been washed and
ironed by his better half. Brother Shields was
reduced to the necessity of shifting for Sunday
or hiding out, and chose the latter alternative.
We think Iowa does not hold villain SO de-
based as to steal an editors shirts He doubt
less came from Missouri, Kansas or Nebraska,
and we hope, when he gets them on they will
adhere like the poisoned shirt of Nessus, until
he makes restitution ten fold. We condole
with Mr. Shields.
