Two bcys, aged respectively l3 and
Is, became intoxicated few evenings
ago, and lay on the sidewalk near one

funds in every county and town Of the
State for the relief of those bercavod BY

ior is undoubtedly the finest Office in
the State, located ina town of the size of
Warsaw. Its presses alone cost nearly
$4,000, and the entire office is proportion

to the place, and the enterprise of its
proprietors in rewarded by most liber-
al and proftsbls patronage. We did
not meet Gen. WILLIAMS, though we
are happy to state he has returned from
the editorial excursion. When we got
ready TO start home we went TO the
depot and got aboard the first freight
train that came along and stopped there;
making the home trip-24 miles-in a
triile over three hours.
