was perpetrated on one of our citizens, a
go-ahead grocery-man, early last Sunday
morning. 1t seems that company Of
dogs had set up their canine chorus by
way Of series Of ear-shocking bowls, in
close proximity to his bedroom window.
Springing from his bed with bitter i'm
precautions on the wanton disturbers of
his peaceful slumbers, he haste ned to the
window, to discover, If perchance be

"donned his lnen," and together they set
out for the dolefuI scene, adding fresh re-
cruts on the way. The next question,

hanging out of their sockets, plainly
showed the wholesale mortgage fear held
over him. Approaching cautiously TO
the poor unfortunate being who had thus
"robbed Nature Of her dues" judge of

from a friendly limb, nothing more nor
less than a cleverly manufacture efiigy,
the bandiwork of some mirih- loving gen
Jus, met their visual organs, bearing as its
ensign, and introduction to its new own
