Mas. BLoBBs AT LONG BRAxcH.-In the middle
of the season, the Rev. Mr.. Blobbs who is theo-
logically ''sound,' sent his wife who was physi-
ogically unsound, and their son Billy, to Long

whose father cautioned him not to forget to
write to him, penned letter few days after,
unread by his mother sent it. The same mail
carried to Blobbs letter from his wife. We
print both letters below. The first, Billys, read

Mrs. Blobbs' read as follows, the only point of
contrast being that it gives different view of
the same matter:

Mr.. Blobbs, preached very eloquent sermon,
taking for his text the following: " Who can
find virtuous woman? for her price is far
above rubes."
