CHEsTER.-Is South Chester asleep !?
There is no doubt of il, Notwithstanding
the .futte7 which the idea causes in GER
tain quarters, and she cannot throw off
her cognomen of "Sleepy Hollow" until
she has proven herself awake. The truth
ia, she has got the "rathers"-that is, she
had rather sit still and see the means of
improvement slipping from her grasp,
| than bestir herself and retain them. She
is also troubled with the "bond" disease,
and coupons are the pills that keep her
quiet II she raises number Of active,
enterpriaing business men, she drowsily
mods them out of town. If she cOnfessea
that she needs good substantial sidewalk
to the depot, she thinks of the cost and
concludes to keep the cow path she has
got. If she petitions for an efficient fire
department, she INDUCES in another dream
and then goes back upon her petition. If
abe is heartily ashamed of the interior Of
Chester Academy, she hears liber i offers
made for new building, and at once be-
takes herself to her bedroom. She is
very weak and "takes" EothiDg stronger
than river water, or Mrs. Winslow's
Soothing Syrup. Her nerves are call I'M
strung OF course she is asleep. Better
say that than say she is dead. Therefore,
let the entire earth send on 10 "Sleepy
Hollow" their uneasy old womeu-dear
souls-they will fad just the rest they
pine for.
