troublesome molars extracted. He said his
teeth went through his jaw and were clinched

1t is wonderful to contemplate the devices
used to get ones name into noteriety with the
people. The means used for that purpose are
as various as can well be imagined. While 1t
suits the taste OF one person to acquire fame
through rugged paths of scholastic acquire
ments another will take TO fast horses, billiards,
or the gaming table another will seek the
tickle goddess by acquiring wealth through the
medium Of honest trade, the professions. spec

sort to other means to attain the same desirable
object The latest effort in this direction that
has come to our knowledge is an elopement,
wherein young married man, named pet

the daughter of an humble citizen enacted the
part of heroine. The hero OF this episode has
run the legal gauntlet several times heretofore.

Wheat has got unexpectedly dull the past

Is supposed to be Liyerpool's countermanding
large orders and the consequent weakness OF

more immediate cause is the absence of ship

they may be obliged TO buy when the price is

duce more plentiful arrivals than we have yet

But if more pleasing to thy sight,
Then take them both and end the fight.
