-0uSaturday we received, by the hands of a
mysterious looking person, closely sealed
paper box, marked on the outside with the
word Tape" at first We thought it was an.
internal machine sent by some malicious per-
son, for the purpose of killiugL us all of, and
that the villain had used the harmless word
Tape" TO cover his nelarious designs. AT last
however, we screwed our courage to the stick
ing point and pryed of the lid. The first thing
we saw was the tail ola squirrel, then lot OF
little minnows, wrapped in an old yellow 10th
Ward Ticket" with the name of James E.
Wharton, for Mayor; next came dead and
badly mangled Ely up the Greek, then piece
of Limbourg cheese; CpohL then cracker, and
last but not least small, blood stained bottle,
labelled "0ld Rye" When we saw that all
doubts vanished. We knew that it had come
from the gay old fishing party that left here last
Monday for Middle Island Creek For sending
US such Sinking mass of stuff, We hope, they
may realize the we'll known couplet. about the
nSaerman's luck; especially the first part of it.
