going to church or to a Funeral and
when performed by Professionals or
Amateurs. But when it comes to Plugs,
why it don't work quite SO well.
AS faithful chroniclers Of the public
history we have to m ention a few facts
in relation to Sunday Riding and we
will commence with number
which was the experience of pair OF
Woodworking, wrong-headed, and
strong headed young spirits, who hired
from Mr.. Whitacre, fine pair of Black
Horses, and two seated Carriage osten-
sibly to visit Centreville, but as the Sc
quel showed they went further.
And this is how it was-getting the
young Ladies in, who were the light or
their eyes, they made the circuit OF the
CORPORATION, and then shot out for Gen.
treville, which was their original des-
tination. Lutte was paid by Congress
$50, 900 to paint the picture OF ''West-
ward the Star of Empire takes its way
but for much less price these wrong
headed, strong-headed young spirits,
had yearning for the friendly city Of
Cambridge and they henced thereto
Now Cambridge has Distillery and
"Spirils FrumentI' are manufactured
thereat and some Of it disappeared dur
ing the stay Of our young spirits and in
due time they started for home and un-
expectedly found themselves in Con
nersville Now Connersville has always
been noted for it's hospitality and our
young friends were not iron clad. They
looked at the points of the compass
through the bottom of flint glass
tumbler until they saw that there were
six Richmonds in the field, and
they started for all Of them and
found themselves in Abingdon, Wayne
County, Indiana. minus one raven quad
ruped who had died from sheer exhaus
tion, and with load of benzine sufficient
for 40 Horse Power Engine. Here
we pause,-we know no account OF the
result of the trip, as for as the young
ladies are concerned; but we learned
that two young gents with the hair OF
Black Horses on their clothes were in
the Calaboose for sDrunk and Disorder
ly''i at late hour on Monday morning.
The result may be sum med up as follows:
Two men drunk one horse killed-one
horse crippled for life-two girls scared
-calaboose-Fines, etc. Loss say 5000.
NUMBER TWO.
LIBERTY OR DEATH!
Early in the day on Sunday couple
Of heavy headed youths might have been
seen behind nice pair of Horses in q
single seated Carriage, ostensibly views
ing or interviewing Richmond.
They were recognized as being resi>
dents of Liberty, and one of them, al
though not the uthor of the Jest Book,
bore his name and was sound on his
pins. Well they looked around, saw
their friends and spliced the mainbrace
u few times or more and start ed home
In the region which makes the beginning
of the descent of Meek's hill, some vae-
abond country man with a slow coach
was meandering along and his pace
didn't suit these ."tSons Of Liberty" so
they pulled out and went by-and went
on-and went to pieces-and went on
venting till one wheel. a chunk of body.
one spring and high fall, was all there
was left to keep the sons company
The Horses didn't get the word in time
and forgo: to stop till they reached
Larsh's Mill. The result may be sum
med up as follows:
Two men drunk-two Horses loose
two wheels gone-two headaches-two
hundred dollars damage
