We copy the following good advice
from an exchange paper :" Be con-
tent as long as your mouth is full and
your body warm--remember the poor
kiss the pretty girls--don't rob your
neighbor's hen roost--never pick an ed
itor's pocket--kick dull care to the deuce
black your own boots, and pay for
your newspaper"

pa- On Wednesday afternoon, Mr..
Marsh, Constable of Bloomfield town
ship, Jackson county, o., fortified by
a search warrant, stopped a man and
woman named Duncan, who we're sus-
pected of stealing a watch and revolver
belonging to a man in Bloomfield town
ship, who accompanied the Constable.
The official, a rough specimen of the
genus castos. proceeded to search the
bundles lin the open Streets, and af-
forwards the person of the woman,
but was prevented from perpetrating
the latter indecency. by the assembled
crowd. who had ascertained that the
warrant only extended to the man and
the bundles. Neither watch nor re-
volver were found.
