A Happy Daddy.

Dear Sister Emma Il now take my
seat. and sit down to take this oppor-
tunity, to inform you that 1 am a
"daddy" at last; that is, suppose |
am, for Addie has got a nice, fat baby,
as ever made up faces. We hope that
these few lines may find you enjoying
the same great blessing. Now this is
to be strictly business letter. First
ly, as I said before, Addie has got a
nice baby. Nextly, I have swopped
away Old John, and think I have got
pretty nice horse, it is a girl, and
weighs nine pound-I mean the baby
it is just as fat as butter, and has a
good strong pair of lungs. She is red
and has a bobtail--the horse l mean
and white stripe in her face, and is a
good driver; she has got blue eyes and
dimple in her chin-I mean the ba-
by-and just the prettiest mouth that
ever opened to receive pap; Judging
from her teeth | should think she was
about six pears old mean the horse
now-she is sound, smooth and kind
[ mean the horse or baby either now
and the doctor says she is the fairest he
ever saw without any exception-he
meant the baby-I got twenty-five do!-
lars to boot, not on the baby though,
for in its case the boot is on the other
foot and two or three sizes larger, as
near as | can find out. lam going to har-
ness the horse now and 60 after moth
er, she was born last night at twenty
minutes past nine-I hope you don't
think l mean the mother of the horse,
[ mean the baby. She is as hearty as
a pig; eat an egg, biscuit, and drank
three cups Of teal mean Addie-she
is getting along nicely, and if she don't
have any bad luck she will get along
firstrate. She is subject to disorders
of the stomach and they say that is a
sign of colic-I mean the baby-I
hope it is, for the nurse says colicy
babys never die. She talks about her
nose as she takes snuff mean the
nurse. I am going to name it Ediema
I mean the caby. There, I've been
reading this over and I see plainly that
| amt fit to write. The amount of it is,
| am frustrated; | am happy daddy,
and that accounts for it, so you must
excuse me this time.

but of general insubordination. In the
State elections of September, October and
November next, from present appearances
this Republican insubordination against
party rings and party candidates will be
very emphatically made manifest. The
issues between the opposition and the
dominant party, growing out of the short
commings and the corrupt doings of the
late Congress have hardly yet taken a
definite shape; but in the interval to the
fall elections the Republican budget of
blunders at Washington and that at AL
bany will be fully exposed"

that about 900 men are employed With tbia

Among those recently completed and shipped
were three ftrst-cass freight engiues each weigh

engines, weighing $4,000 pounds each, for the
Don Pedro road, and ten freight engines are un-
uer way and will be completed in u few months
Tor the same road. Five wood-burning locono-
tives Will be shipped this week to Finland, for
use on the Hangoe Railroad, and four more will
be sent to the same road before the close of the
year. A number Of first caes engines are also
being built for the Grand Trunk Railroad Great
