Jzsg~ Our "brother of the quill" the local
of the Petersburg Express, lets off the follow
ing funny squib for the amusement of his
readers:
VERY NAUGHTY BUT FUNNY.-An old man
was quietly hobbling down Old street yester-
day, when an overgrown club ola boy seized
his hat and made Off with it. Not being able
to run, the old gentleman requested a savage
looking urchin who was passing at the time
to run after him and get it. .What'll YOU
gi' me p responded the youngster. The old
man is noted for his generosity lover the
left. ooh 'said he, I'll give you,-rll
give you run make haste, he'll turn the
corner!" 'But what'll you GIN me?" per-
sisted young America. ooh! | wish could
run-gracions - ''Can't you rum" asked
the urchin. "No." -"Welf then, here rocs
it for your wig !" and off the scamp botcd
with his hempen prize, leaving the Old codger
as bald as the bottom of brass kettle Per-
hops the unlucky wight didn't swear at the
depravity of the age!
Had our old friend Williams fulfilled his
promise to Mayor Ferguson, and left the city,
we might very reasonably suppose that he
was the aged gentlemen alluded to by our
friend of the Express.
