WE CAyE.-So completelv stunned

i WE CAvE.-So completely stunne,
have we been at the cruel sarcasm o
the Courier for the past few weeks
that we haven't had word to say
Yet we feel somewhat better and ar,
able more easily to bear up under i
from the fact that we have furnished
them numerous subjects for locals
1t has borne heavily upon us, from
week to week, not having even kind
ness enough to give us time to take
breath. OF course the fact that the
editor, Bro. G., declares that he is
the father of calf, and that its
weight was 3G pounds, just one.ilf.
teenth the weight of Its pa ah. makes
no difference. We couldn't straight.
en- up and answer it. notwithstand
ing that we thought his, Bro. G.'s,
weight was less than $40 pounds
10 times the weight of his calf. Be-
sides another thing we couldn't tell
whether the calf, his son, walked up
right, as it were upon its hind legs,
and might at any hour of the day be
secn wandering around the streets IN
a stately manner SO peculiar to itself,
or himself, Certainly people infer.
red as much, but that didn't help us in
the least.
But the criticisms furnished the
readers of the Courier are lucid and
worthy of man of brains. No one
without an immense amount of that
necessarything, could Gull from an ar
ticle O number of disconnected ex.
tracts and put them together, leaving
the reader to infer that they appeared
so in the paper from which they were
taken. 1t is very rough and we can
only congratulate the Democratic
party of the county upon having q
man.bull of SO great weight--540
pounds! OF course we don't give
the weight of the brain--that is new.
CT done till man dies-but we pre-
sumo it will rank with that of Geo.
III, of England, or at least with that
of the Australian children.

ExcIrrMENr-LAw FrnM ON tn,

i ExcITEMENT-LAw FIRM ON TIL
WING. - An incident which was
amusing, if not of much Importance
occurred in town on Friday last
Two members of the Bar of Findlay
and partrers--namely Dunn Il Black
ford-took sleigh ride on the day
named, and from the way the matter
resulted it may be concluded that
they understand law much better than
driving a horse. The two gentle.
men in preparing to starting on their
ride, for business or pleasure, hitch
ed up their horse to cutter. Mr.
b. acted the part of the "whip" and
drew steady rein over q somewhat
unsteady horse. The horse started
gradually and steadily, increased his
gate till he got into pretty lively
run. Down Main street they came
the horse, cutter and law firm-till
opposite Neibling d. Co.'S, when Mr.
b jumped out, hanging on the rains
to stop the horse just as he jump.
ell the thills came loose and the horse
stopped. Not so the cutter--that
turned square around and went on
with Mr.. D., who, in hanging on,
made two angles of himself, each of
forty.five degrees. The cutter stop.
ped-Mr. ID. also. While he was
going on without the horse some one
who had not the fear of lawyers be.
fore them, yelled to Mr.. d., wanting
TO know where lac bought his sleigh
and when lie invented perpetual mo.
ton. Neither of the gentlemen were
hurt-both were excited.
Naturally crowd gathered
crowds always dc when there is any
excitement. Crowds love excite
ment--the incident narrated didn't
furnish enough. Consequently o re.
turn fight was arranged between
Bird and Dick, two dogs holding
forth at the stores ofMr. j. Cromley
and Neibling IL Co., that have often
before had a set-to. One came out
ahead, but We don't know which.
Who is responsible for the dog
fight. If there hadn't been a sleigh
ride attempted, there wouldn't have
been runaway; if there hadn't been
a runaway, there wouldn't have been
a crowd; If there hadn't been crowd
there wouldn't have been dog fight:
Lawyers should never do anything to
disturb the peace-either intention
ally or ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS look
up to them and expect better things.
However, folks are generally willing
to excuse the parties indicated.

SOMEWHAT GREEN. 1.-Two young
men from Pennsylvania, got badly
swindled in a saloon opposite the
Fremont Depot, on Monday last -
While waiting for the train tor Fin
dlay, they went into one Of the sa.
looms near the depot to "while" away
the time--they did so, and some
thing else. There were two Others
in the saloon besides the two who
were swindled; and the first-party
No. 1--were watching the latter
party No. 2--throwing dice. Pres
emily one of them threw the dice sc
that twenty. one spots were upper
most. One of party No, / oflerered
to bet that there were not twenty one
spots up. Party No. Q jumped al
the chance, thinking they had got s
soft one in tow, and between then
raised 800. The latter, with one Of
party No. l, went into back room
to get an equal amount of money
After getting it, they returned, pu
the money into the hands of the one
that remained in the room, and
counted the spots, and behold! bu,
nineteen were up. or course the
betting one OF party No. l received The
money from his confederate, and the
soft ones were minus their pile
When they left one of party No. ! il
the room while they went for th'
money, it is supposed that he turnet
one of the dice. The losers pocket
ed their loss quietly, not attempting
to have any arrests made. We un
derstand that nearly every day som,
person is swindled in the saloon re
ferred to, and think it about tim,
that the authorities of Fremont look
ed into the matter and thereby saw,
the credit Of their town.
