A Eappy Family.

There are but few places which can
boast of happy family" such as we
have witnessed in our midst the first week
of the new year. There was the father. a
gray haired man of some seventy winters
arraigned before Esq. Freemans court
and fined by jury two dollars and half
for choking beloved daughter-a poor
widow who had the presumtion to ask
him to pay small debt which she declar-
ed he justly owed her. Then we had a
dutiful son, who had been brought up in
the fear and adnonition of the Lord =?
hunting the father with the declared in
tcntion of taking his l4e for poisoning,
as he avered, his deceased mother; then
We had the affectinate father III hot pur-
suit of his first born, the idol of his heart,
with double barrelled shot gun. willing
to make bleeding sacrifice for the good
OF the country, and to cap the climax, the
old sinner SUNG out peace warrant and
claiming the protection of the law. or
probably. desiring the solitary eonfine-
ment of his hopeful son in prison who it
was conjectured by the court had forgot

can be found we would like to see them

be, and their contributions to your last
issue convinces me, they have made the
discovery and like him, they want it rem
berked-&c., &c. Now Mr.. Edition, |
certainly do not desire controversy with
any one, and especially at this time as ]
am busy as the undertaken | lin con-
clusion, however, refer your serene ficti-
tSous correspondent" to the fifth chapter of
Ecclesiastes, third verse and last sentence
thereof, and recommend that he read the
whole book, and he will see Mirror Re-

The Warsaw Union editor, refuses to
be comforted, He voluntarily withdraws
from the Editorial Association, on account
of little joke of ours. We should grieve
10 think that we had been the cause of his
withdrawal, if such had been the case
but that cannot be. He evidently had
some other reason, if any The Union
says:
ut is a huge joke indeed, for half doz-
Ell papers to perpetrate malignant SIAN
der upon an editor, by charging him with
being drunk, and being under the care of
peace officer" &c.
The Union creates the impression in
the above quoted paragraph, that we had
charged his brother, the editor ofthe Mes-
senger with being drunk and under the
charge ofa peace officer;" for which there
is not the slightest foundation N truth
