Doings of Bremen and Suburbs.
ANTI PANIC,

HUetoTS G0zette:
Having ascertained
that you can stand the pressure, I
send you another piece.
This week I have something that
will make you think that you had
better move your press to a more
enlightened neighborhood.
But first will relate what might
have been a fatal accident.
A Caucasian of Teutonic descent
named Otto Schneider (you can
put in a few more cs, hs, and rs if
you think proper, as am not good
at German surnames) has a sub
contract for digging and hauling
clay, of which the brick is to be
made for the new graded school
house in Bremen. ~
Mr.. Schneider had commenced
operations on the farm belonging
to Mr.. J. c. Beery, and everything
was lovely until the bank caved;
when groans and EXPLANATIONS, ap-
parentiy issuing from the bowels
Of the earth, were borne on the
morning breeze to the ears of two
gentlemen, who were not far from
the scene of accident.
These gentlemen FASTENED to
render assistance, and fully expect
ed two or three hours hard shovel
ing to exnume the Teuton, but
were glad to find that he was not
buried, but planted, and as he had
not rooted, he was soon pulled up,
taken to the barn, supplied with
water and taken home on his wag,
on. He was found to be badly
bruised, but was able to resume
work in day or SO; giving his
treacherous mother another chance
to bury her offspring II suppose
Teutons also sprang from thai
source). Z
Now, Messrs. Editors, rub your
eyes, pinch yourselves; do anything
to ascertain that you are awake
also get the almanac, that you may
know you are living in the nine
teenth, and not the thirteenth cen
tury; for what lam about to relat,
is worthy of a long time ago.
