The Importance Of spelling correctly is
seeen by the following especially the ne
cessity Of spelling lager beer as it should
be. A country rum-scller, wishing a sup
ply of that beverage, wrote as follows:
BUNGvII.LE, July 1, 1860.
Messrs Blotch & Drinker sen me up as
soon as posibal cask Of Brandy and one
Large Bear for forth of july sen the Bear
by express.
in IIaiSt RoUpEN ToDD.
The answer came as follows:
Mn. ToDD- Dear sir: We send you
to-day, one cask of brandy and the bear,
by express, as requested. You must feed
him on raw meat and be very careful that
he does not escape, as he is very savage. -
He cost $500. and we let you have him for
The same. Please forward payment.
Yours, respectfully,
BLoTCH & DRINXER.
The CONSERVATION of Reuben Todd was
complete, when the furious animal was
landed at his shop door with a halfscared
curious crowd around it, ard it was only
by sacrifice of the caSk of brandy for a
keeper, and couple Of trips to New York,
that he got rid Of his ugly property, and
learning how to spell lager beer.

A Mild Cigar!
Old "Dexter," in Delaware county, New
York, kept a country tavern. He never
would confess to being 'out'' Of any brand
Of liquor, though the fact was that he never
had anything to drink but raw whisky,
which he bought at a ncighboring grocery
every morning, and brought home in a
Shaker pail.
One day stranger called for bottle 81
small beer The old man said he had got
it, and forthwith commenced search un.
der and behind his bar. After waiting pa:
tiently for some minutes. his customer ex-
pressed doubt as to whether the house
afforded the article in question.
EYES," said the landlord, 81 have got
small beer-always have it; but to-day it
is 50 mighty small that cav find it."
The customer then inquired for mild
cigar. This rather stumped the old man,
for he never kept any thing in that line but
"short skies" and the old-fashioned 'long-
nines." Handing out box of each, he
said:
81 don't know exactly what you mean
by mild cigars; but here is some abo"'

The red, white, and blue-thc red checks,

Each day brings its own daties, and car

Childhood often holds truth, with its
feeble fingers, which the grasp of manhood
cannot retain, which it is the pride of ut
most age to recover.
A matron, lately being asked why she did
not learn the French language, replied that
one tongue was sufficient for woman.

If he saw them greasing the ways, or doing
anything stirring this morning, to hurry and
tell me; so at a. m. he rushed into my room
and informed me that everything was ready,
and Lieut.. Hamilton would give the word in a
few minutes. Arrived at Palmetto wharf
saw small crowd gathering, which each mo.
ment increased, as the news spread through
the town. By 81 O'Clock at least 5000 people
were present, and the unknown quantity,
