SERENA DING-I see paragraph
going around telling of girl who
fell out of a window while listen
ing to a serenade. This reminds
me of Peter Lambs adventure
down our way year or two ago.
He was serenading one of the
Metcalf girls and she was leaning
out of the window, with shut
tiers bowed so that he could not
see her. Lambs little tune con-
tanned one high note, and he
struck it suddenly and with such
terrible force that it made her
Jump. She lost her foOthOld, fell
out, and described half somer-
sault, one foot hitting Mr.. Lamb
squarely on the face, and the
other smashing in the top Of
his guitar. Simply calculating
"Gosh!" he ieaped up from the
gutter and fed, under the i'm
preston that old Metcalf had
thrown hedstead at him, while
Lucretia picked the catgut and
Eastwood from her toes, twisted
her back hair and went into the
house. Lamb stopped visiting
her, and last year he married the
widow Jones, who has four chill
dren and a cOW-lick.

FASHION NoTEs-The latest fashion
notes, and most correct, doubtless, are
given by New York correspondent -
As they are appropriate for this section,
we copy them. He says:
I'VE have all got neuralgia in our
shoulders from wearing spring clothes,
and many new dresses are supplemented
across the hacks by porous plasters, and
next to vest front mustard poultice
is generally most worn. Young ladies
alternate between a necklace for street
wear and flannel rag for the house.
Diamonds are worn in the ears with
much effect abroad, but lock OF cot
ton and little roast onion is the usual
adornment at home. Pearl powder is
applied to the shoulders for full dress,
but camphorated oil and hartshorn lin
iment are considered very pretty also
bv the sufferers I notice silk stock
ings, with colored cloakings, are the
things for low slashed shoes, but pals
Of hot mustard water and warm bricks
are also much worn on the feet. Thus

UnderpAid Mall Matter OF the
Third Class,

There are large number, about a
cord, Of underpaid transient newspapers
and other matter of the third class at the
postoffice, which cannot be forwarded
under the law. Persons caring to do so
may have an opportunity to call and put
on additional stamps necessary, for the
rest of this week. 1t is safe to say that
every person who has sent such pack
age with only one cent stamp, any time
since the new law went into effect, will
ind their package held for postage. The
law requires that such packages shall be
sold for waste paper, and the proceeds
turned in on government account. The
law being very inadequately understood
by the public, the postal authorities here
take the liberty of holding such matter,
temporarily, as shove.
1t may be we'll to say in this connec.'
tion that the. Columbus Gazette, the
Church Record, and the Mute's Chroni-
Gle, are the only papers published at Co.
lumbus that will go for one cent. The
Gazette, with Government wrapper, is
