placing the end of the thumb of his right
hand In contact with the end of his nose
and vibrating his fingers. Having rode
about two miles he jumped off from the
train when in full motion and followed on
after 1t some distance. apparently in q
carriage with one wheel, but was uniniur-
ed. But now came turning point in
Johns luck, Officer Smith tracked him
close and put both hands on him this time
and didn't let go till John was safely lodg-
ed in Manchester Jail, where he now is.
When Mr.. Barron, merchant, assigned
out or sold out and bis assignee or pur-
chaser, Mr.. Howitz, had to go to Manches-
ter, and so "friend after friend" departed
all the week.
The lecture of Edward Conant did not
come off as advertised on the 25th inst
Mr. Conant was present, but the raging
snow storm made it certain that he could
have but a small audience and he thought
best to defer his lecture. Nor did the lee
ture to farmers by Mr.. NJ. A. Ballard come
off the Goth inst.
The second number of the Wallingford
Standard and Rutland County Advertiser
contains the unfavorable notice of its first
number by the correspondent of TIE
GLOBE at East Dorset and reciprocates that:
EMIT (Y). When Mr.. b. L. l.. writes
something in its favor probably it will re-
ciprocate, Bull (Y). Wit that depends
for its quality upon the accident of the ini-
tial letters of a name and the misspelling
of word is rather far fetched and is quite
as severe n criticism on its author as on its
object But as this specimen comes
| down to lis under the sanction of the
| name of one who had occupied

seven days, it is shielded from the unquali-
fed condemnation of ordinary mortas.
Editors, so says MIR. SAKE, ''are so high
above the common stand, it takes the plu-
raj to express the man." And the editor
of the Wallingford Standard seems to feel
this dizzy emnence all his own. Having
| been ineXpressible in the singular number
| whole week, he assumes legislative func-
| tons, changes the name our mother called
| us by, and advertises us as hollow
ware. This he does by the use of
| a single letter of the English
alphabet, penned or clipped. Had
he been cruel and employed the remaining
twenty-five letters of the same alphabet or
''cut his Eng ish on Greek or Latin, like fus-
tian heretofore on satin" any one with
half an eye can see that we should have
been just DO ware at all. 1t is fearful
thing for the writer of vicinity items in q
little obscure village that has to be hunted
for sharp on county map, to citicise the
| first number of newspaper in which the
editor himself informs the public that mine
out of every ten predict failure Before
taking the risk correspondents should look
10 their initials and see il they
are not capable of such felicitous emen-
dation as will amuse all who are "pleased
with feather and tickled with straw. u
There are seventy-four letters not yet used,
belonging to the alphabet, which the
learned editor of the Wallingford Standard
has at his tongues end and these he will
doubtless prefix, insert and annex as the
case and initials require. And every time
he uses letter in any one of these three
ways he will demonstrate somebody's
littleness and his own greatness.
