"A little incident was related to us
last evening, which we consider quite
rich, and did we not know the gentle
man who made the blunder, we would
most certainly think somebody was
tight, maybe. The incident occurred
at private boarding house in this
city, about four o'clock yesterday
morning, and was related to us as hav-
ing thus occurred: f,..
A certain young gentleman, who
boards Mt certain private house--a
respectable house, too-had occasion to
remain away from his bed until four
o'clock in the mornin0. This is not
uncommon with yonng gentlemen in
our eity-this particular one, especially. L.
Some time after tea, OH the evening of
that eventful morning, two beautiful,
buxom young ladies from the country,
friends and aequalntanccs of the land

scarce, and the young gentleman not
expected to be home that night, with
out word Of explanation or warning,
one ofthe young ladies was placed in
the young gents room. Asa matter of
course, after going through the usual
manipulations-unhitchjng clasps, but
tons, hooks and eyes, &c, the beautiful
dalnsel was properly arranged for ,ta-
king charge of adowny bark, and ship
ping for the land of dreams. We will
leave the dear creature in her slum-

young gent. 1t is now nearly four

TO awaken the inmates of his boarding
house, cautiously approaches the door
and, after carefully Inserting his night
key, is pleased to find the bolt yields

approaches his room, and, knowing the
location of the furniture, &c, being
without matches, enters the room,

as it may seem-a dig in the side, in
