fire his big guns at the old Directors.
In his last letter he does not show that |

has drawn from the treasury. He tries
hard to throw shade over these char.
gcs. He says he did not charge for his
visits to the Ihfrmary, but told the other
Directors to allow him what they pleas.
ed. All right. This makes just % per
meeting, as before stated. He says he
did not say the Infirmary might be kept
in good order at $40 per month. For
the truth of this read his 6rst letter.
He says Mr.. Reads figuring propen-
stiles must be very limited, to divide
$1,000 by II and make the quotient $40.
Thank you, Mr.. Schumacher. / suppose
any man in the county knows better
than that. But for your benefit will
tell you how got the answer. | took
the amount you received for goods, add
ed your fees, and divided that sum by
the number of months you served as
Director, and the answer was, $40 per
month. Try It Mr.. Schumacher. Fig
ures will not lie.
Icharged Mr. Schumacher with throw
ing away s1o0in the change Of Direc-
tors. How does he undertake to get out
of this? He tells US that Mr.. Fisher
had 6 or in his family and Mr.. Suls-
berger has but 8. If he had stopped
there it would be true. But hear what
he says: Mr.. Fisher received S400, be.

were the small orders? Mr.. Schuma-
cher dare not say they were any part OF
his salary. / think we bought of Mr..

Sharp's the Word.

Old Judge D was an eccentric
man of prompt action, and, moreover, a
bachelor. Being very rich, mammas and
blooming girls Of the period tried 10 en-
slave his affections in hymen's letters,
though without success. Cupid's arrows
had not reached the Judges heart with
any particular love for them One day
he entered q restaurant in Philadelphia
and was waited on by very pretty girl
at whom he looked 30 hard that she no.
ticed 1t and blushed deeply. He imme-
diately desired her to sit down minute,
informed her who he was, and asked her
point blank to marry him, and told her he
would give her till he had finished his
dinner to decide what answer she would
make. He then commenced his meal,
the young woman waiting on him all the
while. He never took 80 long to eat his
dinner before or after, nor was he ever
known to dispose of so much provender
at one sitting. At length he could hold
no more, SO getting up he called the young
lady, and in his usual short way, said:
times up. Yes, or NO, my DEAR"
Yes, sir" blushed the maiden.
Without another word he clipped her
arm through his, and walking up to the
astonished proprietor, informed him that
the young lady was to be married to him
right away, and begged his company to
witness the ceremony.
They were speedily joined together in
wedlock, and what Is most singular, they
fell deeply in love with each other AFTER
marriage and made the best mocel couple
to be found in the country. The Judge
always held that at best marriage was but
q lottery, and he had drawn prize.
