B-Tpo eases Of DrunL.-Yesterday one
Mr.. Burke, an Irish gentleman, ente.ed the
house Of one Mrs. Manict, who is said to bear
striking resemblance to a common red lizard.
Nr. Burke was drunk. Mrs. Manick told Mr.
Burke to go away for fear his chronological de.
reloPments might become unfavorably discon.
nected. Mr.. Burke hoped his future state
might be other than Paradisiacal if he did. AT
that Mrs. Manick was proceeding to execute
her threat when the redoubtable Lancaster
doomed upon the scene. Mr.. Burke, it was now
discovered, was too drunk to walk, and the off,
Ger started off after cart. When he returned
to The scene, the lizard had dragged Burke into
the house and locked the door. She appeared
At an upstairs window overlooking the quiet
horse and cart, and insisted that Mr. Burke had
done nothing, and must not be removed. Ian.
caster forced passage into the house, brought
forth the befuddled gentleman, and took him to
AID QuiglOy's and thence to the Jail. 1t seems
that after the officers departure, in quest of q
cart, Burke-the "persuadin' divil"-had,
drunk as he was, insinuated himself into the
good graces of the lizard and she became his
protector, who was but few moments before
his striking enemy.

lows the lawful business of cordwainer in Centre
Wheeling, bought half gallon of whiskey. He
put as much of the article down his alimentary
"canawl" as his plethoric corporosity would
eeverly hold, and dashed what little remain.
