In Luck AGAIN We'll, we are de-
cidedly in luck this week, surely. On
Wednesday evening, our neighbor, c. E.
Holbrook, who keeps first rate boot
and shoe store on Westminster street, en-
ticed us into his store, and there in a very
few liable" but patriotic and practical
remarks, presented US with a pair of ex-
ira fine boots Do you hear? An editor
with pair of ne,o boots! POUNDS An
earthquake, with the tumbling of king
doms and thrones, could hardly have be-
wildered him more Recovering lit
tie, he thought he was member of Con-
gress, and if the next census increases
our delegation he still thinks he will be,
Friend Holbrook modestly disclaims any
merit in his act, and says he is simply
doing little duty, being so far as may
be in his power, aiding good public
understanding!
These boots, by the way, were made
by Mr.. VIM. L. Stiles, employed by Mr..
Holbrook, and an old friend of ours in
Windsor during our apprenticeship more
than twenty years ago, and than whom
there is not probably a better workman
in Vermont. The whole job, therefore,
will last the editor for pleasant refec-
tions for long time TO come, and We
shall not be blamed we apprehend, if we
feel as though we were preparing for a
foreign mission under the next admins
tration!
