We have had lively time here to-day, as there
was an excursion over from New Castle, given by
The ked Men OF that place. They had brass
band with them which made some fine music.
Some OF the excursionists INDUCED in a sack
race, aud just about the time the men got safely
tied up in their bedticks il commenced to blow
great guns, the watering pot from above began to
leak and the people commenced to skedaddle for
shelter, while the bedtick men began TO run to
get out OF the cold. The bedticks began to get
too small, but the men finally got out OF them all
safe.
After the sack race was over there was tub
race, which made fine sport, and in the midst of
it there was an earthquake which shook the town
but did not do any harm beyond dumping the
tubs and their contents, which made plenty of
laughing all around. Then the scientific men
commenced to try to find cut the cause of the
earthquake, but saw nothing more than smok-
ing cannon. Some says il was fred by Tom Col
Inns, but l guess Ton is not to blame for this
trick.
