mention last week, was brought before
Justice Churchill on Friday and fined
$23,5O for procuring rum Of the Agent,
Joel Eaton, by false representation,
getting balmy on the same, and calling
the ladies down at the Jail oirgjnS, etc.
Cheap enough for somuch FUN. There
are but few men in the world who can
handle rum successfully, and f. d. is
not one of them.

AN EDIToR's DREAM.-An editor.
who was evidently insane, or had a
strong and vivid imagination, recently
got Oft the following appropriate item,
if true:
had dream the other night,
When every thing was still;
! dreamed that each subsc riber
Came up and paid his bill.
Each face wore q look of hOnNsty
And smiles were round each eye,
AS they handed out the scrpJ
Saying, "IIow is that for high?'
The Woodstock Dramatic club gave
an entertainment at the Town Hall on
Monday eve, in aid of the G. A. r.,
and some $40 was realized over and
above expenses. The house was nearly
filled and 10 doubt would have been
crowded had there been more notice Civ
en-. The parts were well played and
the Troupe is certainly deserving of
much praise. We should be glad to
have the play repeated and might it
not be under the auspices of the Wood
stock Cornet Band; with proceeds for
their benefit The band is deserving of
aid, and we are sure the Club would
consent if applied to,
An exchange says it is not good taste
for gentlemen to stay after 10 o'clock
