Mr.. Sheppard Obtains "a Lift"

Every Tuesday, Capt. Lewis Pillsbury drives down
from the Penitenary for the purpose of taking up
such prisoners receive g condign' punishment al
the Court of Sessions On these occasions he pulls
up his establishment, large one horse wagon in
front of the City Hall. Captain P. did this on Tues
day last He drove down about noon, hitched his
horse to post, and went into the Jail, to " burn
orch'-with the Sheriff Lewis smokes The best Ha-
vanas, three for quarter, While he was lighting
his cigar, and taking memorandum of the prisoners,
an old fashioned old gent came along with bundle
under his arm. The old fashioned old gent saw
Officer Whal IN, with whom he entered into CONVEX
sation:
"Whose wagon is this 'ere o.

'' In which direction %
"West!"
Wonder if he would not give me lift, and let
ride as far as the Cherry Valley turnpike I'm
very tired having tramped thirteen miles since
morning"
Let you ride! Of course he will-get in and take
a back seat"
He was adjusting himself comfortably when Pillsbury
returned from the Jail. Psbury seeing an old man
with bundle in the wagon, and an officer standing
by the side OF H. came 10 the conclusion that the for

keeping watch over him. In a moment after this
the policeman marched out of the City Hall with
thfee ladies and seven gentemen-' convicts'' going
up for various terms, from thirty days 10 six months
The ladies and gentlemen having taken their seats
Capt. Lewis jumped in, introduced twenty shilling
whip to the attention of $10O horse, and started
for the Penitentiary. The old gentleman talked

in the bottom of the wagon. In this condition he
reached the Pententiary.
What place is this ?n
"a chair factory-jump out and take a look"
"Chair factory want no chair factories. | tell
you again, I've got business on the Cherry Valley
turnpike, and can't fool my time looking at rattan"
The protest, however. did no good. The old gent
was bundled out: He was marched into the recev-
ing room, where he was astonished past belief"-
He was undressed, and before he could enter pro-
test, was soused into bathing tub. rubbed down
with soft brick, and installed in " the cussedest pair
OF tro"sers he ever saw" He was then registered
ana sent to the shop for job of work. Here his
nulgnaton broke out fresh, and was rapidly lead
ing TO rebellion, when one of the keepers proposed
TO give him "a showering" Instead of that he was
locked up in cell. This finished up the business
on tuesday evening. On Wednesday, Mr.. Pilsbury
was down street, called at the Police Office and en-.
tered INTO conversation with Whalen.

chap that got in the wagon for the purpose of riding
TO the top of Washington street."

~ told him he might. Didn't he tell you ?''
Of course not; would not give him chance
The result of this interview may be very easily
guessed. Mr.. P. discovered that he had made mis-
take, and made all speed to recify it. AS soon as
he could return to the Penitentiary he released the
old gent and apologized. The old man said "want
no apologies; man that shaves my head has got to
pay for it."
Saying this, the old gent seized his bundle, slam
med to the hall door, and came into the city. He
called at the Police Office and made the acquaintance
OF Counsellor Brice. Brce heard the story, and i'm
mediately commenced suit for false imprisonment
He lays the damages at $4,000. The old gent re-

RICH SELL.-A writer in the Buffalo Republic
gives the following interesting reminiscence, which
may be remembered by some of our readers:
In 1888 came to Rochester, and was there when
that sublime farce enacted on Mt. Hope.
wag at Mount Morris found quantity of bear bones
which he palmed off as the bones of Col James Boyd
and company, of Revolutionary celebrity. The mil
itary took it up and completed the humbug
pompous funeral was planned, and Gov. Seward in
yited to deliver the funeral address The cheat was
discovered by some of the Rochester faculty day or
two before lis consummation, but such was the fear
of these military mobocrats that they kept the secret
to themselves Never had poor Brutn such a pom
pous funeral 1t is supposed that seven thousand
persons followed in procession. Gov Seward was
particularly eloquent on the farccal occasion
Fellow Citizens said he in his exordium there
is history contained n the mouldering bones depos.
tied in that urnn
He was right. There avas history. Net of bat
lie, blood and Indian massacres but of devastated
corn fields, murdered porkers and unflial cubs;
theme fruitful and diversified if not as spirit
ring and interesting. t at
In a few days the secret leaked out--the joke was
too good TO keep editors wrangled doctors quarrel
ed, the military swore but they had no redress-hey
had been most numerically Sold and to this day you
cannot touch an nhabitani of Rochester in a more
tender place than to ask him if he made one of the
bear procession to Mount Hope if he was particu-
larly edited with Gov. Stewards oraton over Bruins
sacred remains
