"A Danbury agriculturist made scare
crow so internally frightful that it not
only kept away the crows, but caused a
winterkilled pear tree to leave.
The lawns are quite verdant now, and
natures monograms illuminate the linen
pants of the romantic. They are the only
greenbacks current everywhere.
The dying counsel of a Monroe wo-
man given to her daughter should be
craven in gold and impressed on every
young girl. 1t was, Never turn blue

"A Danbury man who bought a new
pair of boots Saturday, says ship may
stand on one tack all night if it wants to,
but he finds an hour and q half to be an

We rarely say anything against the
oldest inhabitant, but if he doesn't cease
the habit of coming into this office after a
hard shower, and setting his umbrella in
our boots, we are afraid Danbury will be
deprived of that useful ornament.
