The yelocipede is one of the new
things of the day, or rather an an
cient invention modernizrd, and
new to most people, which has been
agitating the cities and country the
past winter. and the fever has
spread to almost every village of
any considerable size. We have
had it here in Bradtord-to limit
ed extent, and in fact have not got
entirely over it, two of the fiery an,

Trotter House hall. 1t is something

how man is to maintain Lis cQui.

little practice it is done with the
utmost ease, while the machine is
kept in motion, and it requires but
little eAertlon to p ropcl 1t when one
gets used to the operation of pad

well expressed by contemporary as
follows: YOU straddle, paddle and

In regard to the talk about our
next Governor the Windsor Journal
says:
"SOme Of the newspapers have
been very busy of Late in helping
the people to nominee for next
Governor. We have no fault to
find with the name mentioned, but
If the people are to do the voting, it
will be perhaps more fair to allow
them to make their own selection of
the several gentlemen in Windsor
County, who are eminently quail
fled for the position, and whose
friends may have something TO say
when the question is pushed home"
We fail to discover anything I'M
fair in the expressions Of the Press
of the State in regard to our next
Governor, and as it is a legitimate
subject for discussion, we think the
formal has no reason to find fault
unless it does not approve of the
opinions and preferences of its con.
temporaries. OF course that journal
has perfect right to wait until tie
nomination is made, before giving
its views on the subject, and ten
it can be sure of being with the ma.
jority.
