EDITOR UNION RECoRD:-An article appeared in
your last weeks issue. headed the Bitter Bit. :.
Your correspondent from Nimshew'' peryerts the
truth when he, she or it says that two weeks
ago a notorious chicken thief, well known in Dog
town and vciEity. having devoured all the chickens
in and around that place, determined to make raid
upon our quiet little town of Nimshew-he and d
boon companion, with cspacious pair of saddle
bags" etc. The facts in regard to the matter are
simply these: Two gentlemen on the Sunday des-
ignated, repaired to the nei, hbolng town OF MIN
shew for the purpose Of obtanirs some articles OF
merchandise On arriving at the que; little town,
ii was suggested in the parance of the boys. that
they might have little fun; that there al c'd
lady residing there whose amiabe disposition never
became rutiied, whose temper was only equalled in
mildness by the summer zephyr and that it would
be good joke to take few of her hens with the
understanding that she should be fully compensated
for them. With this intention, and this only they
got five of the old ladys hens-and 10. it had tie
desired effect. The amiabe disposition disappeared:
the summer zephyr became the raging tempest;
the virtues of resignation and moekness though
beautiful to read about, couldn't save the hens. Such
is the history of the immense raid on that quiet
little town The sadde-bags have been replevied
by the owner with costs to the losing party. When
ever the "old lady alluded TO in Bitter Bit makes
the proper application, she will be compensated,
not on for her hens but also if she requires it, for
the fun The boys have had by the occurrence of the
raid on the quiet little town OF Ninshew. p.
