the Convention. We name Richmond rs the place.
because Il 10 the most accessible point and affords
the best means Of accommodation. and because
many members ofthe Convention who will have
other business In Richmond in the Autumn, can
avail themselves III the opportunity TO attend 10
their private interests and the public welfare on

the time. because many gentlemen who have been

GA waggish chap, whose vixen wife
by trow ming, lost her precious life, called
out his neighbors, al! around. and told ZEN
that his spouse was drowned; and, in spite
of search, could not be found. He knew
he said, the very nook where she had tum
bed in the brook, and he had dragg ed along
the shore, above the place a mile or more.
"Above the placer" the people cried
"why what dye meant"
The man replied: "Of course you dOn'i
suppose I'D go and waste the time to look
below. I've known the woman quite spell
and learnt her fashions tol;ble well; alive
or dead, she'd go, swow, against the cur
cent anyhow!"
