HUNTERS STATION, Nov. 10, ~.
Mr.. EDIToR:-I see in your last
issue an account of my menagerie,
which is very fine, but then you ought
not to misreprescnt feller, cause
why, you see | have only two dogs in.
stead of five. And as for the coons,
one Of them died at the hands, Cor
rather the mouth) of one of the dogs
and the other was purchased by Lon.
Stroup and jim Hulings, consequently
am clear out of coons. AS regards
the deer, you guessed pretty close; |
have a pair of very fine ones. 1t
would do you good to see them dis.
pose of glass of cider. l am pre-.
pared to wager that either of them
will hide glass quicker than you can.
But you should see my Ourang
Outangs, the very finest creatures in
the world. One is called Buck" and
the other "Brindle." They are very
intelligent and have thus far escaped
the epizoO. Mr.. Rowley refuses to let
them ride on his train, averring that
the Superintendent don't allow such
looking critters in the cow.boose. l
think they will compare favorably
with him, Darwin, Greeley, or any
other man.
If l wasn't hard up for currency
just now, / should purchase another
"dorg and present him to some fine
looking editor. l hear one of my
Ourangs blowing his horn, and must
suspend for the present.
Yours in Haste, d. G. II.

rannis f. Pluribus Unum! All that
now remaius to be done is to put on
the plank, and finish filling in the
abutment at this end of the bridge.
and then all that remains to do is for
some chap to stand eternally at one
end Of it and collect toll. Time works
wonders. For several years past the
bridge question has been the standing
Joke all winter, especially if the cross
ing were difficult. A year ago no
man, unless it was Geo. Hunter, would
have risked ten dollars that q bridge
would be built across the river at this
place for ten years TO come, barring
oil excItements, or unusual growth of
Of the city. But it's come is actual.
" standing monument to the obsti-
macy of Mr.. Hunter, who built the
bridge simply because so many of our
townsmen told him he wouldn't. That
is one view Of the case. Another is
hat the ferry has paid for two years
past good interest on the cost of the
bridge. 1t is likely that the travel
'ver the bridge will average onc.third
more in year than that over the fer.
y for the same length of time. So in
long the town a good turn, Mr.. Hun.
er will also be putting money in his
'urse. Which is right.
