Having deadly fear of one Thieving Bill,
a resident of that burgh | lost no time in
continuing my trip While progressing
through one of the streets heard the cry Of
"all aboard for Jackson" and thought GER
tainly the stage, in waiting was the only
mode of transportation to the field OF my
vision and concluded to embark. Did so,
and found myself ensconced in a three scat
wagon, having brought myself down from a
perpendicular to a horizontal position. The
floor of the vehicle was occupied by innumer-
able singular shaped boxes, aud each seat was
cushioned with variety of packages rare

had good opportunity to examine the per-
sonal appearance Of my companions dU royage.
Immediately in front of me sat decayed
looking gentleman who from his loquacty on
theatrical subjects, Iconcluded to be an actor.
His companion was evidently barber, for
although be wore shocking bad clothes his
hair was nicely oiled and curled, his chin was
smooth and in his hand he carried package,
through one end of which appeared the type
of his profession-a razor. The remainder
Of our travelling party comprised a half doz-

peculiarly delighted with the swinging Of the
stern of our vehicle. From an occasional
light laugh, coming from the drivers seat, l
concluded we had fair one with US, but as
am prejudced against the sex, will not at

opportunity of viewing the gorgeous works
of nature, which presented themselves at fire.
quent points on the road, the vehicle ceased
to progress and our conductor gratiied us
with the information that we had reached
Jackson. ! descended and carefully placing
my wardrobe in my bosom, looked about me,
expecting to behold the object of my search;
the natural paradise which | had read SO
much about. Having, to great degree, re-

to appear during the day, our fun-seeking trio
determined on buresque, and burlesque

rapturous applause, and will not be forgotten
by the villagers. Pro6ting by our experience
an opposition buresque of a similar charac-

the point was not made Our trio caused
many hearty laugh, but as a recapitulation
would not meet with space, suffice it to say,
