The Newberry herald. [volume] (Newberry, S.C.) 1865-1884, 1873-04-09
AROUT THE TOWN AND CouSIY. :

The weather at present writing is delight
full. Spring has come in with a hop, step
and . jump. Amateur gardeners exclaim
now is the winter Of our discomfort, made
(amost) glorious Summer by the sun of
Spring, for it is very warm.
On Tuesday afternoon last, the heaviest
cloud Of the season hung in the heavens, it
was as black as an Ethiop's face and looked
angrier than four score of angry amendments.
Chickens went to roost and people hunted
safe places. Happily it blew over, and 4
moderate rain fall only was the result.
The aluson to chickens going to roost
was only a metaphor. There are none here
to take such an elevated position. A basket
of chickens tied behind q wagon would excite
more attention than a circus band wagon.
Eggs Of course are consequently scarce. II
there are any of either in the county, please
bring them in.
Farmers of Newberry are advised to use
corn torpedoes asa protection against thieving
crows. They are so arranged that as soon
as one is swallowed it explodes, to the ever
lasting damage Of the crow. lis sure, try it
much better than silent, pe-ambulatiag
strychnine.
This reminds US Of q common mistake
many persons make in saying they "go
through course Of medicine" Of course,
it is not so. Vice versa.
And by the way, we mind that Dr. FAINT,
the accomplished and handsome druggist
down town, has Just returned from abroad,
and has brought with him many things
which the public will liketo have.
Like to haye-that is 6 key-note-thcre's
whole sermon in it. Isn't there something
every o.: would like to have. We would
like to b.. re every subscriber and advertiser
who is in arrears pay up Immediately.
Speaking of paying up, we became very
near making final settlement on Thursday
last. In this wise, and at the hands of the
immortal ~ n" We inadvertently forgot
to remind our myriad of readers that the
great philosopher and philanthropist would
crate on that evening. He came up post
haste TO know the reason. An explanation
was attempted-It was an accidental over
| sight. J. n. could not see it in that light
He raved, stormed, famed, his eyes flashed
fire, his hair stood out, as did his coat tails,
we tried TO s ct out. The situation grew
aarmns-hc called US ugly names, till at
last patience ceased to be virtue, and there
were pair of excited men dancing up and
down the readingroom Fortunately he bolted
about this time-and no one was hurt. The
next time he proposes to lecture here, we will
give him blamed good-notice.
In consequence Of this fright, we renew the
offer for double-dsted fighting man to take
care Of all persons Of q violent character,
who como up into our sanctum. One who
has served in that capacity before is pre-
ferred.
