was rung yesterday at about half past
eleven A. NJ. The early bird catches the
worm," we know, but did the landlord
want to catch his boarders when it had
not been long time between meals? Can
anybody tell?
incidents at the Brawner House.
A friend who has been on the high road
to matrimony and from whom we are al
ways glad to hear. hands us the following
item:
We know our proprietor of the Brawne-
House is genial, good-natured and good
looking, but he is also very neat. for his
boots were so brightly polished, that d

said, Jack, those are patent leather shoes
you have on, amt they ?" and the little

shave not seen you for long time
"where have you been 2" and our bachelor
friend said, Il thought you were out West
preaching Temperance" He replied, 'oh,
no." But he is here nor to preach temper
ance and to establish an association in OPP
position to the Changers, for they are the
producers Of things that might lead 70 the
ruin of many.
