what We heard and Saw within
the Week.

Last Sunday evening while passing down
main street at rather a late hour, when
nealy in front of the residence of the hand
some and petite Miss. -, we heard a
noise which sounded like cow drawing her
hoof out of the mud, ''smack. Judge of
our surprise, when we discovered that it was
only the sugar plum" herself and lover
kissing goodnight at the gate. They must
have been studying the beauties OF the
starry armament above them, for we had
proceeded but few steps when she ecstati-
cally exclaimed, my stars Joe, 1--WE will call
him Joe, for short, but was Mt that sweet
In few moments we returned. Again he
kissed her, when coquettishly she said: AT
it again" Then she, with childike simplicity
caught him around the neck, kissed him,
and in soft and silvery tone wispered in
his ear-but we heard her, 'now amt we
having fun" The scene made US young
again, and we thought we, too, would like
to have a little ''fun The ladies think of
organizing praying band " for the pur
pose of laying siege to Tannery." A good
move in the right direction.-Some of our
young ladies think small patches of black
court plaster artisticaly pasted on the cheek,
chin, or lip, adds to their beauty. But it is
not so, dear girls then there is danger of
the patches on the lips being transferred to
the lip of some Adonis who might venture
too close, which would let the cat out Of
the bag. No less than three ladies claim
the hustle found last week. Angels and
ministers of grace" from the shades of
Academy hill defend u.s. The old folks at
home," and we shall meet on that Beau
tiful Shore, - was sung in very creditable
manner by the g brunette and blonde, y
last Sunday afternoon. With little more
practice, the one that " clawed " the Z" ivor
ies will make an excellent pianist.-A
large number of our bloods have invest
ed in immense finger rings. They are cheap.
You can get them in prize packages. Only
ten cents. One adorns the delicate fist of
&" Inkey. Two angels in disguise, serena
since Music hath charms, &c. but it
won't capture him, girls.-The fire laddies
are forming an association to be known as
1.-The Crusaders" 1t is to be hoped they
will do much good.-The handsome and ac-
complished brunette sojourning with
friend in the classic regions Of Loder's
school house, for some time past, contem-
plates taking her departure in few days
L. Il, la, IL ofI
friends, all of which will deeply regret the
loss of her society. IF Madam Rumor in
forms US correctly, with her departure there
will be one or two of our young men who
will need the services of a ministering an
gel - to heal the wounds inflicted by cupid s
arrow. Take bottle or two of Mrs. Wins
lows soothing syrup, boys, and you will
soon be all right. We wish the fair one
bon royage.-Scene-Engine house. Time
Tuesday morning, thermometer ten degrees
below zero, no fire, no coal. "Tannery,"
good -natured John - and ''Oofty Gooft, y
hold council to devise means for procuring
enough coal to build fire at which they can
toast their shins and indulge in a-no, read
few chapters. Tannery" skirmishes, is
successful, and they have pleasant time
discussing the merits of hearts, diamonds,
spades and clubs.-Oficer Keener made his
appearance (but not in full uniform) last
Saturday when the Phoenix Fire Company
were trying their ''mochine" Had there
been drunken row he would no doubt have
been non est.
