The Volcano lubricator. (Volcano, W. Va.) 1871-1879, 1873-11-11

Jonas Wickford's little son made q
leap for fame, Saturday, and nearly
landed in eternity. lie was in an ap-
pie tree OF his fathers on branch that
overhung Mr.. O'Clarence's premises.
He was standing on the branch, pre-.
pairing to jump and catch another
branch as he had seen a man in the
circus do on the bars, when Mr.
O'Clarence, who was looking for the
eggs Of a deceitful hen, appeared be-
meath the tree, and got down on his
hands and knees to examine the grass
The boy says he did not know Mr.
O'Clarcnce was there, and it is likely
that he did not, as otherwise he would
have forbornc making any experiments
that might bring him within reach o.
the dreaded neighbor, who never car
forget that disastrous affair on the las
anniversary Of our national indcpcnd

TUESDAY, NOVEMBER ~:

ence. When all prepared, the youth
made 4 spring, missed the coveted
branch by sixteenth Of an inch, and
came down with n dreadful thud on
the back OF Mr.. O'Clarence, hattening
that gentleman to the Garth, driving
his nose into the sod, and making
every bone in his body snap like so
many popping corns. For an instant
the miserable man beliyed that long
series Of fated accidents had finally
illuminated in stroke ofextra strong
lirhtning-the next, the heel Of Master
Wickford's shoe ploughing across his
neck awakened him to 4 vague sense
Of the trouble, and he sprang to his
feet, and half crazed by pain and rage
he ran to the clubhouse for his axe,
and securing it, returned to murder
the youth, but was too late. The lit
tie rascal being too scared to cry. or
even realize his wounds, had sealed the
fence on reaching his feet and taken
refuge under his parents roof. When
Wexford came home in the evening,
Mr.. OrClarence started over to see
him and was met by him at the division
gate, wheu;that gentleman very per-
tinently inquired "what IN thunder he
meant by prow'ing around under trees
soaring boys that were in their own
fathers trees getting pie apples for
their mothers" Mr.. Wexford topped
of this demand by announcing that
"desired to live in peace with every
body, but if people were bound and
determined to be always kicking up
bobbery of some kind, crippling the
land, he should call in the law and let
it's majesty crush the culprits." Stun
ned and bewildered by this reception
Mr.. O'Clarence retreated to his house,
where he grappled with an imaginary
assailant and gave him a ferocious
beating.

A PARTY ofgrammarians were mr.

Some were certain it was right while
others insisted that are was right.
DO you mean to say sir, said one
grammarian very much excited, that
six and seven are eleven?'
1t, are" replied another, equally es'
cited.
Much confusion ensured, and colli-
sion was feared between them. In fact
after conjugasing each other sharply,
and working themselves up to the su
perlative degree ofwrathful mood, they
did make a few passes, at each others
heads. In the present tense OF affairs
it was agreed to leave the question to
Chris Gerne, who stood by. Said one
ofthem:
"Chris which is right-to say six and
seven is eleven. or Nix and seven are ele-
ven?"
'Vich is recht?"
Yes
Sex and seven ish elenen, or sex and
seven are eleven"
Yes, yes that's it,
