Some weeks have elapsed since We have
had recourse to the ladies chip basket, and
in consequence some Of our fair friends ask
what change has come over the spirit Of the
dream. Do we love the ladies more, or love
them less? In answer, we give the following
dots:
The Grecian ladies counted their age from
their marriage, not their birth.
Mrs. Snidkins says her husband is three
handed man-right hand, left hand, and a
little behind hand.
The man who tried to swceten his tea with
one Of his wifc's smiles las "falien back on
sugar"
A lovely young lady says its all mistake
about her not taking an interest in married
gentlemen, for she does-in those whose
wives are dead.
"Margery, what did you 60 with the talow
that Mr.. Jones creased his boots with to-
day?' s'Piease mar:l. tried the griddlc
cakes with it," Lucky, for thought you
had wasted It."
Milton Was asked by friend, whether he
would instruct his daughter in the different
languages; to which he replied, "No, sir,
one tongue is enough for woman"
ABOUT THE Town AND COUNTY
The absence OF the chief ''gatherer" will
account for the limited number Of dots this

Sheriff Darlington discaims tic fault Of
issuing false cxecutions-th papers are given
him for collection, and he serves them. Ag
gricyed parties who have receipts will so for
the County Treasurer, not the Sheriff.
Mr. J. l. Houseal, for several weeks past
