RATHER ROUGH ON AN oPERATIC SINGER.
In our grsudfathers' days, the hunting
out of comical cross readings was favOrite
diversion of small witliDgs; such things are
OILY produced now by sheer accident, when
in s.making up for the press, portion CT
a column of type gets mysteriously impori- :
ed into place where it bas no manner Of
business, thereby causing things to be
come considerably mixed. By the intrusion
ofthe termination of q criminal trial into
an operatic criticism, panegyrical account
of a new singer finished up with, "he was
sentenced TO i've years penal servitute, 80
that society will tor some time be freed
from the infection of his presence" BY
part of report of public meeting stray
ing into one about the accidents on foggy
night, it was made to appear that "Mr.
Hodson moved the Brandy Quay inlo the
Water."
An English weekly la.ely succeeded in
serving up the following: "YesteIdiy, d
eoal-p0rter named John Sharp was receiv-
ed into the chest ON Friday evening. Ii
| appears that he had gone TO the Royal Free
| Hospital, having received severe bruls es
/ ABOUT the Metropolitan Mark t, to purchase
a horse, aud sseng one 10 pleas him, he
| bought It; he took it home, anc when III
/ The act Of examining 1t, the an maj

| paper contriVsd to beat the above by
| dex erously combining 8 paragraph
| c cppcerning an unlu:ky dog with another
cnncerniug q pular preacher. "Fhe
Rev. J. Thompson preached to large con-
| gregatIon last Sunday. This was bis last
sermon previous to his departure for Lon
don. He exhorted his brethren and sisters;
| and, alter offeriug' devOut prayet, took
a whim to cut some frantic fIeaks. He
ran I'D tie High street, aud down Queen
street 70 the college. AT This stage OF the

great crowd gathered, and for a few min

WHAT MADE REV DIR. NUDGE MAD.
/ Tins was Father hard, though 1t dId net
begin 70 bs anything when compared with
what made Rev. DR.. Nudge mad: The
doctor had been presented with goic-
headed cane, aud the same week patent
pig killing and sausage making machine
had been tr ed at q factory IN the place OF
which he was pastor. The writer OF a
report of the presentation and a descrip-
tion of the machine for the local news
PAGER, thus reports the accident
| tnst ensued: "The inconsiderate Cax-
tonian who made up the forms OF the
PAPER cot the two locals mixed up IN 9
| frjgnJful Kramer; and when we went &c
| mess, sOmeihipk like this was the appalling
result: Several Of the Rev. DR.. Mudge''
friends c allied upon him yesterday, and af
Ter j. brie conversation, the Unsuspic:ou:
pie was seized BY the hind legs, and slIC
along q beam until he reached the hO
water tank. HIS friends explained The Oh
iect of their visit, and presented him viii
a very handsome gold-headed butcher, whC
grabbed him by the tail, swuns
nim round, slit his throat from ear Il
err, aud in less than q minute the carcass
was in the water. Thereupon, he cam'
forward, and said that there were timei
when the feelings overpowered one; and To-
that reason be would not attempt to dC
more tnan thank those around him for tb'
manner in which such huge animal wa
cut into fragments, was SIMPLY astonlsh
ing. The doctor concluded his remarks
when the machine seized him, aD'
in less time than it cakes to write 1t
the pig was cut iuto fragments, and WORKED
up into delicious sausages. The occasioI
will long be remembered by the doctor
friends as one of the most delightful o
their lives. The best pieces can oe prucur
ed for .eupence pound; and we are sar
that those who have sat 80 long under hi
ministry will rel Jice that he has been treat
ed so handsomely"
Taking all things into consideration, !
will probably be generally admitted tha
DR. Nudge nad perfect right ~ get mad
and that if that newspaper man had beel
a candidate for cemetery honOrs the mex
morning the verdict ought to have been
iuslifa6le homicide, in the first, and ever
| other degree.
