VIC aAou hif' W y NC iuhseu So, aho
he replied, nothing, only it always
tires me to saw up frozen meat, We
mistrusted something but kept mum.
When We found market basket full
OF ded kow then we knew what all
that granting was for. Thanks Jack,
and now well close the blinds for veri-
ly we have hash for supper and We al
ways eat hash with the blinds closed,
We're going to get patent on a
new sheet iron lamp chimney. a
small boy can dip the light out the
top with table spoon; or an adept
in the business can suck it up with a
syringe, anu SQUIRT halos all over the
biggest sitting room in town. They
don't break.
We learn by the Mansion Star
that the American House, stable and
out buildings. owned by Andrew
Leight, at New Lisbon were destroyed
by fire on the 4th inst. Loss S., 5000.
Insured for 81, coo. Its thought the
fire communicated by some person
lodging in the hay.
Who'll answer this conundrum ?
Why are so many of our business men
anxious to ''skin out O. this" Be
cause they have got tired Of paying
their tex money towards the support
of faro banks. That's why, but hold
on gentlemen. Things are straight
ening.
"A pretentiors chap tried to ride a
buxom buzz saw bareback up at Me-
nominee the other day, and in one jab
of yellow jackets scratch awl there
were two OF 'em. but they slapped him
together again, only they got one of
i'm 'tother end to, but he didn't stick.
Free funeral, the ''buzz' is making
twelve dollar lumber as before.
Come boys. hurry up that grand
police court expose. In the Tribune
Saturday, will do, or you can have a
column in the Reporter next week.
We are Just hankering for it. We
thought something would turn up by
and by which would bring the council
to do It's duty in the mttter towards zoe
the ex-justice. Whoop er up.
Those who have examined the
granite in the town Of Wood, and
particularly Hon. j. I. Kingston, re-
port the finding of most exquisite spec
linens. Mr.. Kingston told us last
week that he had found specimens
wherein the colors were SO beautifully
combined, the red of deep crimson
hue, bordering on white so transpar-
ent as to resemble snowflake or sea
foam. that the darker colors, after
polishing, would appear to stand out
in bold relief upon background of
prismatic tints varying from bright
pink as clear as crystal to a pearly
white, as pure as the purest quartz.
That was red hot council meet
ing last Thursday evening. 0, how
the Reporter did catch it from his
High Mightiness, Worden. Worden
made one of his finest efforts; he
frothed at the mouth and shot out his
arms like windmill to catch the pop
ular breeze, but there was nary breeze.
Bro. Worden spoke of the publishing
of that report as a contempt OF
court, an assumption OF authority
&c., &c. In short he
made an ass of himself, a remarkable
easy thing for his High Mightiness"
to do on a moments notice. Well,
when Bro. Levi pulls the string these
jumping jacks are expected tc respond
by throwing themselves into the most
grotesque attitudes. Twitch EN- again
Levi.
Our ex-marshals, Lavigne and
McRaith are very much incensed be-
cause of the publishing of that report.
We are '.cursed'' beautifully Now
friends 60 slow The makers out of
that report, neither we in publishing
it, accused you of stealing funds;
they, and we, said simply, that there
were amounts which were "unezplain-
ed =" and the REPORTER distinctly
said that there was delinquency
somewhere, which must stand against
the several ex-officials unless some
thing in the records shall explain the
delinquincies away"
We don't accase either Mr.. La
