WOULDN'T BE FOUND DEAD WITH Him.
This expression was recently used by
citizen who intended to express his COM
plete disgust for an acquaintance. How it
happens that this absurd expression is SO
often used is beyond the comprehension OF
most men. Is there any man in the world
that the speaker would like to be found
dead with Probably there Ia not, hence
she stupidity of the expression.
Nor THE RIGHT MAN.-Fridav night,
late, Just before the steamboat Bart Able
landed at her wharf, a police official In.
formed the reporter that Mate Stanton, OF
that vessel would be arrested, as there was
o grave charge pending against him. This
was a mistake--one easily made. bnt not
