What a Squirrel Did.

We cut the following from the New

would have been very small, as the
nuts would have rolled out without
some modification in its arrangement,
which Mr.. Bunny proceeded to make
with good deal of architectural skill,
his movements being daily watched by
our informant He first built up o
breastwork of clay, sticks, nutshells
and other rubbish at the mouth of his
magazine, an inch or two high, and
then filled it up with his provisions,
till it would hold no more. He then
added another course of mason work
and another deposit of nuts, and SO ON

it was no worse to make squirrel

The head clerk of large firm in
Charlestown promised an old customer,
one day, half a bale of Russia duck to
be on hand precisely at one o'clock,
when the man was to leave town with
his goods. The firm were out of duck,
and the clerk went over to Boston to
buy some. Not finding q truckman,
he hired man to take it over on his
wheelbarrow. Finishing other busi-
ness, on his return to Charlestown, the
clerk found the man not half way over
the bridge, sitting on his barrow, half
dead with heat.
What was to be done? It was then
half past twelve, and tho goods were
promised at one. There was not a
moment to lose. In spite of the heat,
the dust, and his fine light summer
clothes, the young man seized the
wheelbarrow and pushed on.

Radicals are happy. Small crumbs give

the decisions Of which do not rank as of

The Reform movement, which contem-
plates making voters out Of the great mass
Of Englishmen who are not voters, is for
midable in England, and bids fair Of at
least partial success. When these men be-
come voters the privileged orders will not
fare as well as they Jared in the past. The

nightmare upon the labor Of that country,
may be very violently shaken, II not over
thrown. No wonder, then, that the prlvil-
