the character of Oliver Liveoak, sus-
tsined his reputation IS an actor OF

SLIPPERY SrREETs.-The quartz teams
coming down Main street have. to US.
for n day or two past, been a special
| object Of interest as well as anxiety.
The c~harioteers thereof, with whom,
| by the way. we would not exchange
| places on any consideration, appear to
| be masters of the situation. They rough
lock both hind wheels, Notwithstanding
which precautlon the heavily laden
wagons come down the street Side
wise, enlisting the sympathies or every
~bystander for the poor animals, which
instead OF propelling the wagons,
merely act rs brakes. We arc inclin-
cd to believe that both In going up
and down Main street, our freighters
load too heavily, and we do not be-
lieve that Mundell, Blanchard, Ogg,
Fox or Gallagher enjoy seeing teams
struggling up Main street with a big
ger load than they ought to haul.
