A DISPATCH from New Bruins
wick, n. j., states that Jonathan
Earle, Treasurer of the Norfolk and
New Brunswick Hosiery Company,
is a defanlter to the extent of S142.-
GOO. The real defaulter is said to
be George Earle, son of the Treas
urer, who acted as book-keeper for
his father, who was in the habit of
giving him checks signed in blank
to be used as they were needed, and
young Earle used the money thus
obtained in speculation in Wall
street. He had squandered over
$140,000 before his father became
aware of the state of affairs. Mr..
Earle, the father of the scapegrace.
declares his willingness and ability
to secure the company against any
loss. He owns cotton mill at Bur
lington, worth 100000, and New
Brunswick real estate valued at
$4,000, besides other real estate
and stocks worth 100000. The
Company will not be embarrassed.

THE HIPPODROME
BrOt her Il. to Broth er ID.

Well Bro, D., the last dose operated
and we think you can stand one more
pill from the same box. You begin til,
argus article with, "Bro. H. is fearfully
worried, and thoroughly scared by hi
own big shadow" We were only once
thoroughly scared" 1.-THE object that sur
prised us was a sprucy looking individu
al, in short, fine looking sprout, who
carried in his hand a pretty little cane
on whose vest was pinned beautiful
blue ribbon, bearing aloft the word "Po-
liceman." Said individual would, three
times in fifteen minutes, take from his
pocket a small mirror, view his angelic
countenance, and with comb and wetted
fingers proceed to arrange any stray lock
that would seem to mar the beauty of
his lovely features. Then at moments
warning dart off to administer law or
justice, as the case might demand.
When we beheld this we were "fear-
fully worried, and thoroughly scared"
and never have yet fully recovered the
shock. The locality was Lyndonville
Grove, the occurrence was Camp meet
ing. the time was not far from that bliss
full period of your existence that you re-
ceived unlawful food from Dan. johnson.
Out Of sympathy for your many friends
in Bradford, we refrain from publishing
any names. If it would not be infring-
ing on the demands of the public, we
would show every clause in your beauti-
full reply, proper respect; we must for
the present forbear, and content our
selves with looking into few of the
most prominent features Of your wonder
full production. In regard to that "wick-
ed joke" you have jumped at it again,
and we wonder if all of your Bradford
locals eminate from your Imagination,
ifso the argus and its patrons should hold
you in high esteem and cherish you as
dear friend, "the chiefest among ten
thousands, and the one all together love-
ly." No, we did not laugh, nor did zoe
euer say or think, 1t aoas a fine thing, 70 r
a person in your position, to publish such
things. No doubt you thought you were
doing fine thing for yourself. and gain
ing friends, but to be plain, when GER
tain parties have made cats-paw of you
a little longer, and Will e you are reach
ing for nice chestnuts, you will lose
your balance, pitch forward, and the pro-
prietor of the Bradford Box" will be
among the things that were. In regard
to the "benediction," our limited educa-
ton will not allow us to drink in of the
ef'ulgence of such masterpiece of COM
position. Suchwords and sentiments are
worthy of Webster and Demosthe-
nese. We admire your brilliant witt I
,isms, love your sweet innocence, and I
,nce more pity your ignorance. B. "a
