AN INTERESTING EVENT occurred at one
of our first class boarding houses during the
week, which resulted in amusement to some #
the boarders, and annoyance to others. Al out
o'clock P NJ. verdant couple (past their
double teens) walked into the dining-room, and
the one of the male persuasion e1qu red if ii ey
could have supper and on receiving on affirma-
tive answer the gentleman seated himself t
one table and the lady at an other. The waite r
sugges e that she had better take a seat wi h
her husband, and she did so. Supper over, tn, y
en- aged room, and at once r,tir H. The room
being brilliantly lighted and the curtains left
up afforded rasstrs to witness sundry en-
brace, sses, ard Other expressions of tender
ness. At a later hour lights were extinguisbed
and for time all was quiet But it seems this
quietness was not lasting for the xt morning
ut breakfast, one of our county officials, who c.
crpits an adjoining room On the same floor,
made a complaint to the landlady that his sle' p
had been disturbed during the night, and want'
to know il a circus troupe had occupied III,
room for IT arsal. He said the noise certainly
indicated an acrobatC performance of ground
and lofty tumbling. The landlady replied that
She thought the room had been occupied by a
couple of tourists, and at once repaired to the
room, but found the occupants gone. TIL,
chairs and furniture were somewhat in conf,;-
sion but the bed had not been occupied-th,
noisy demonstrations evidently having been
confined to the shutting of chairs.

Ed. HERALp:--
We in this burg have had considerable dis
cussion on the county printing and Hospital
meat matter. The phase pnt on the matter by
the argus at frs, caused g. me Indignation as
the good people of our town do not seem to JUS
tify our Supervisors in letting contracts to the
highest bidder because their predecessors did so.
But since the facts of the matter have been
made known the tide of indignation, with gath
cred strength, has turned upon the ac,user, and
| often hear even Republicans laugh about t
now, and say, as an apology, ooh, thnt was one
of Lyons tricks" l heard very respectable
gentleman say. few days ago, it was stoopine
pretty low and showed rather lack O. scrupe
to 90 before the Board and offer to do the cOun-
ty printing for less than you had offered to do il
for after YOU had proposed to do it for less than
it had ever been done for before. In conclns-
ion, will say you need have no fears on the
matter at present. l believe the more he says
in the future the worse it will be for him. The
Argus is regarded in our town by great many
as paper that will do most anything fora pen
n.y. We still look to the old HERALD as oui
fr end, and we trust it will never deceive us.

their child had gotten along so well, and for the
child to be doomed to pass through the sam,
