eats "Particular Fits"
BEALLsvILLE, March 10, 1853.
Editors ~ the IHteiIigeHcer 1t appears that
some one of your city heroes has acted as local
correspondent for. your excellent Weekly, and
has furnished its columns with quite spicy ar
ticle on BeaIlsvie, o., its inmates, &c. This
article appears to have been written on the oath
of Feb. in village, and signed a, published
within your paper under date of March the 9th,
/ 1855 Now, as regards this correspond a. and
his article, we would kindly ask your permits
sion to offer few passing remarks on the same,
! through the columns of the IRtcLtigeRcer.
| In the first place, we would remark concern
! ing Mr. A., that we, the citizens Of Beallsville,
| feel quite an interest in his welfare and where
abouts, and inasmuch as we see by his article
that he left the vicinity Of your city on the goth
ult., and not seeing that he has returned, we
think probably, that he must still be at large,
and, judging from his tone of writing, that he
certainly is in danger therefore, feeling for him,
we ask some one to answer what has become Of
/ him
We think that such a person as cores.
pondent 4, should be seen after, for he might
become useful man, could lie have the proper
! trimming. We judge his descriptive iaculty to
be extraordinary and who knows but that he may
get an embassy to the figy Isles, or some other
planet, should all other qualifications be with
him. And who knows but what the citizens OF
our village could render him some assistance in
TINS enterprise, cOulu we ohlS KNOW hloTe aoouI
hm2
Though judging from the tone and spirit of
his Beasville article, and the description he
gives of his travels hither, we think him to be
some what of n 3 cent critic, city dandy,
man well acquainted with human nature, man
ners and customs, brevity in collar, and things
! in general; person possessed OF large discrim.
| inaton and perception. Such persons as Mr..
! A., we think, Shonld be nouriShed and cherish
ed, and be held up for future usefulness, and ms
I literary productions, such for instance, as his
/ Beallsvillc article, we think, should be placed
within the archives of the nation, in honour to
/ his name and pen. For, listen TO his article,
and perillous adventures. He says: ION SatW-
day, Feb. Goth, left the vicinity ofyour smoky
cityson my horse, (not borrowed Onc,) for this
village, (3eallsville)" Useless to tell, he says,
as everybody knew, that it was the coolest
day of the season, and almost impossible for man
or beast to prevent the collision between old
terra tirma and his capital regions. What Il
hero to leave mama But, says our hero, we
venturcd along, skating forward and backward,
hither and thither at q speed that allowed him
| to make, actually, over two miles per hour; and
bad it not been for the many annoyances he met
with on the way, some OF which he is too de-
cent to mention, it is thought he might have
made somewhat over three miles per hour
| What pity to be annoyed! But why was all
this? Why, simply by being on both sides of
the road at the same time, and being sometimes
| up anu SOllellIIGS QOWu.. DuL why complain AT
] this? This is almost an every day occurrence
Men are are often found on both sides of the road
ut the same time, and some times up and some
times down, especially when they leave railroad
steam and substitute artificial steam.
But this was not the greatest annoyance to
our hero Listen to him again. He says
| We seen so many little, ugly, dwarfish men and
women, with their score of dirty faced pets all
| couped in their ] o or 20 feet cabins only when
| u stranger would come in sight. they then would
be on the look out. This created in the mind OF
our hero, some what Of marvel, why
on such cold and frosty day, these peo-
pie should be on the look out. We shall solve
the query, and venture to say that the tallcst
man in the nation would have been for looking
out under like circumstances. These lit
tie, ugly, dwartish men and women, and their
dear little ones all were amazed to be seen on
was frozen and covered over with snow, some.
thing out of the ordinary course of nature,
make its appearance at their 10 or 30 feet cab
ms. say they were amazed and astOunded to
see something green drawing nigh. Who could
help looking? Could they? No. 1t was their
right, their inherent right SO to do; and there
fore, should not prove n marvel nor annoyance
to any one in Free State like Ohio, nor should
it have proved such to our hero of the city.
Though we are very happy to hear that he
succeeded in getting through all the troubles
on the way, and hear him rejoice that lie ar
rived at last in Our Village with his head above
his shoulders. What u lucky man! We had
haIdly expected such an escape, to reach Bealls-
vile with his head above his shoulders; but we
trust it was owing to the scarcity of cattle on
the way he Travelled that such happened unto
him, for further out west the cattle are more
plenty and very fond of something Green
But he got through and arrived safe at
Bealisville before the pessantry had gone to
snOoze-yes, before the peasantry had gone to
snooZe- What luck to find them yet aw AXE
WE'LL well, some men are born rich and others
lucky, and so twas with Mr.. a. He now makes
his way to II tavern and is again astonished here,
and says these taverns are the merest names,
and why? We judge, because of no liquor or
strong drink being found Mr.. a, our hero,
Inow pounces village Host, calls him a
goslin looking fellow, scarcely out of his teens;
pitches into his hair, &c. But this bye the bye
we think altogether ungentlemanly and ont of
place, for our host knows his business and duty
without Mr.. \. 1t is not necessary, in order to
he host in Ohio, free State, to be as old ms
Mothusaleh was, nor be pulled up like a Wheel
ing beer barrel, nor wear hair like he goat
Our host knows that Paul says that it is shame
for man to wear long hair, aud so we think.
Our village host is not at all beholding to Mr.
A. for license to wear beard. After passing
some more remarks on the construction of our
