A Joke ON a Supervisor

Somebody, says the Hudson Star. p]aved
a practical joke on Supervisor Ostrom at
the late caucus at Stockport. After Mr..
Van Buren, had been nominated, and while
the caucus was celebrating on the remain
der of the ticket, some facetious person
passed outside and informed Mr.. Ostrom
that his fellow townsmen had again hon.
ored him by the choice of his name to head
the ticket, and suggested that it would be
proper for him to address the convention.
Fully alive to the requirements of the oc.
casiOn, and without stopping to make the
preparation which usually characterizes his
forensic efforts, the gentlemen presented
himself to the caucus, and i'm few well.
chosen words expressed his thanks for the
honor conferred upon him. He had ad.
vanced 80 far as to allude to his continued
and laborious efforts in preceding boards.
and stated that, while his election would
entail great personal inconvenience. and
that he would much rather be left to the
quiet retirement of his rural home, he was
in the hands of his friends. Having reached
this point, and when he was about ready
to declare that he would endeavor
to honestly represent his constituents,
some charitable friend pulled his coat and
informed him that he was laboring under q
mistake that Mr.. Van Buren, was the nomi.
nee. Imagination cannot depict the EN-.
barrassment of the veteran Supervisor
Suffice to say he retired as gracefully az any
one could under the circumstances, and the
caucus proceeded in the regular discharge
Of its duties.

they have had to wait until women, inebri-
ates, negroes, horses and dogs have been
befriended we not know, unless for the dis.
graceful reason that they were too feeble to
resist, or to force their complaints upon the
people about them. The society formed In
New York last week, and which will ask to
be incorporated under the name "The
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Children" contains among its founders
many men who seldom fail at what they
undertake, so we shall hope for speedy
spreading of CONSERVATION among the brutal
and incompetent overseers, teachers and
parents. We would willingly walk mile
