correspondent of the Columbus journal,
is pitching into the "Steam Fire Engine"

Indeed 1t certainly must be very in
terestiDg to the patrons of the Columbus
Journal to read the communications Of
this illiterate damphool in relation to the
purchase of q Steam Fire Engine for Ash.
land. Would it not be as well for Kerr
Chug" to write an article, "pitchipg into
the Steam Fire Engine movement at a
furious rate" and send it, eia the Gable,
to the London Times? No doubt the
entire population of the United Kingdom
would stand aghast OF tho announcement
that the citizens Of Ashland had purchas'
ed a Steam Fire Engine, aud that . few
old fogies didn't like it!
We advise "Kerr CHING" to cease writ
ting about Steamers, and continue his OBJ
scrvations ou'the weather.

Twas meath a spreading chestnut tree,

While winged Time, on double-quick,
Ran ''o'er me and my dearie."
Young Cupid perched, with bow in hapd,
Amid her auburn ~tresses,
From quiyrlng dimples Love peeped out,
Inviting my carcssea.
And, as her velvet cheek was flushed.
She seemed to me, her lover,
As IL she'd search my "heart Of hearts
And there my love discover.
"Be mine |" / said with trembling voice,
My cheek with bushes dotted,
She coolly said she'd ''rather not"
And then l ~ather-notted.
