week before last that delectable sheet con
tanned such chaste phrases rs 1.-The Braw
'ers." Spread Eogle." "WhangdOodle
Timothy" In his remarks about the re-
port that G. II. Reeve and wife had parted,
which no one hal before heard of, he en-
ploys the following elegant terms:
Go and look over the files of the Re-
puJiiran. and if you can find an article a
bout Democratic candidate. that is not
filled with lo,r, rulgar slang and personal
ties. we will acknowledge that we have
not read Alright
Here is another specimen of elegance
and refinement from the same number:
Timothy OLDBUCK.
This gentleman makes some pretensiops
toward pleading law. Once upon a time
when Common Pleas Court was in session
in this place, Timothy desired to leave the
room. on some business, whereupon he
arose and said to the Judge:
IF your Honor please, should like to
have leave of absence for a few moments
"Judge-'you can have it-you'll not
be missed
Timothy waddled out. and as his steel
pen coat-tail disappeared down the stair
way. the sound 'yef gre, ye" echoed back
through the Court room door. amid the
laughs (iaughs9) of the Judge and Law
yers."
The individual alluded to is not candi-
date or an aspirant for any office, and new
err gave the editor any occasion to assail
him. No such circumstance as narrated,
he informs us, ever occurred in the Court
room. in which he was concerned
What right has the editor to complain
of personalities and epithets when he him
self deals in them as frequently as any one
else? His whining under the circumstan-
ces is contemplate in the extreme When

Of the public for his misfortunes.
We used the terms he complains Of in. a
6gurative sense. and did not suppose he
would understand them otherwise. If he
cannot bear such rubs without becoming
offended he is not qualified for the post he
occupies, and had better evaporate at once.
We are not angry at him, notwithstanding
all the ugly names and hard things he has
said Of us. and will do him the justice to
say that we believe there IL many worse
fellow in the peniteniiary,-and better one
too, perhaps.
He saws he regards us beneath his con-
tempt, and that when he stoops SO low as
to compare human being to the brute
creation, he shall expect to be scorned by
all respectable people. tarred and feathcred
and carried out of town on a rail. VIVA,
is "Whangdoodle?" Is it bird?
Again, he says, after quoting what VI
said in reference to tho puppy that would
bark up the wrong tree:
