A PUzzLER.--"Look at that Individual, -
said Blobbs to us yesterday, as we stood in
front of the Postoffice. "His long, thin legs
look as if they had been melted and poured
into those tight pantaloons, 1 can't tell how
in thunder he undresses. He can't haul them
pants off over his head, can he? His feet
are too big to get 'em off in the regular
way. By jings, I'd like to know he does
it. Then look at his coat. Nothing in the
world but side pockets and sleeves. A
healthy coat, that. But the pants get me.
How does he get 'em off," And the boy
wandered off for a glass of beer and plate
of old smearkase signing, allow in thunder
does that chap get them things off,"

STONE Coal BY WEIGHT.-The follow
ing communication contains good sug-
gestion. Will our City Fathers attend to it !?
Mr.. EDITOR: There is statute law reg
ulating the standard weight of stone coal,
which the City Council ought to bring into
practice in the sale of coal in this city. All
coal sold to families is delivered in wagons
said to contain 3315 bush. Who knows how
much they hold? especially, as they never
are filled. Let us have some arrangement
by which we can buy our coal by weight
in accordance with statute law. 1t is hoped
the City Council will put in force the law
passed March 81, 1864, as follows:
SECTION l. Be it enacted By the General As
Senably of the State Of OHIO, That the stand
ard weight of bushel of stone coal shall be
eighty pounds avoirdupois for bituminous,
and seventy pounds avoirdupois for camel
coal.
SEC.2. All sales of stone coal shall be
made by weight unless otherwise specially
agreed by the parties to the contract.

JERKS AT LOCAL EDTToRs.-If misfortune
will overtake any one, we believe that per
son will be local editor.
Misfortune appears to have particular
liking for7that unfortunate class of indi-
viduals.
No other Miss has the same weakness.
No good ever comes to a local editor.
Everything bad he gets easy.
Every one says he is an inquisitive cuss.
Supremely impudent.
And always attending to somebody's
business. h1z - --sa
Wherever he goes people act suspicious
of him.
If he asks a question he will be told to
mind his own business.
If there is public entertainment, four
hundred and fifty get mad because he don't
''pitch into it''-four hundred and fifty get
mad because he does so, and another four
hundred and fifty don't care a continental
any way, though If he don't. they get mad,
and if you do, they get ditto.
You print story to-day.
Tomorrow you have to take it back or
take whipping. .H
Especially if you are small man or a
boy.
A local editors best capital is:
80 A great deal of cheek.
And some common sense.
The latter is not so much needed, as the
public will not recognize it as readily as
they do the cheek part. "'
Modesty is not needed.
IT'S great drawback.
We commenced business as local editor
on morning newspaper, at the age of
nineteen.
Our capital consisted of an unusual
amount of modesty.
But it soon run outfit it hadn't we
should have been an utter failure.
Our first attempt was at reporting a dog
fight, which occurred between two small
dogs and three large men. 80
It's fatal stroke. srs
Never report dog fight or any other
fight.
It will invariably get you into row of
your own.
Be careful whom you question.
Some people will tell you the whole
story-all about it; but those are the peo-
pie that don't know anything about it if
they did they wouldn't be so anxious to
tell.
Those who don't know will never tell
anything, and always swear if you don't
have full report next morning.
A local editor should never report man
killed or drowned, or mysteriously disap-
peared, or anything else, unless he has the
facts direct from the person.
Then it's often unsafe.
Oh, its nice thing to be local editor.
JOu Odu udNO every yOu
want-by paying for it.
A local editor is so popular-with those
who don't know him.
We have served our time at the business
are completely disgusted.
Shall try and get bill passed prohibit
ing the existence OF local editors by law.
It's nuisance to the public.
And demoralizing to themselves.
We are totally wrecked.
And sign thus:
Playedoutedly Thine,
GENTLEMAN JERKS.
