s.Oh! What A sight Was there My
COuntrymen."
An individual who was yesterday
meandering his silent way about our
streets, having a bask of plaster fig
ures which he was attempting to sell,
had quite a unique way of dealing
with such as refused 20 buy. TIL
hardened sinner, for such he seemed
to be. invariably in meeting a refusal
to buy his wares would say naughty
words which betokened that he was
rather hab1tuatad to ways THAT we're
dark and tricks that are vain" He
however met his merited reward for
oace. When he scaled the heights of a
stairway and having knocked at the
door of residence, where he was re-
fused it seemed to rile him and he re-
piled in high sounding epithets, more
emphatic than nice or polite. This
proved, however. to be the wrong place
for such exhibitions. for he was taken
by the shoulder and given q shove
which landed him aud his wares at the
foot of the stairway in one lumbled
up mass of ''confusiCn worse con-
founded" He picked mp the shatter-
ed remains of his fortune and silently
stole away A complaint was subse
quently lodged at the Mayors Office

New Plan for q sound Rsstde ce.
We were shown yesterday by Mr..
! JAS. F. Post a new and ucquestionab'y
an admirable plan for Sound resi-
dence. This plan is by Mr.. Post him
self, and combines unlimited means
for ventilation as we'll as the greatest
| conveniences. It is well known
fact that many of the summer residences
along our sea shore are sadly u neet
of facil ties for enjoying the ocear
breezes, the very object for which oul
citizens seek the rural districts during
the summer months. Too many o
our summer residences have beer
thrown up pro tenn, as it were. ane
too often the dwelling is coLstructei
so that it needs ABILITIES for giving
especially the sleeping apartments
plenty of air.
The plan in question remedies thl
defect, besides giving the households
ample and extended conveniencles u
other respects making an exceedlngi.
pleasant abode, to give residents tn
full b nefits of the advantages of If
on the sea shore.
