ALONG the line of railroad you see wo
men taking care of switches. do mo-
mean their own back hair, but those in
genious contrivances for throwing trair
off the track, aud the blame anywhere
but where it belongs, which no well regu
lated railroad is without. Passengers

it now quite as well as men. 1t is lonl

youth and an old stone school house az

necessary for running a first-class loca
paper and job printing establishment, an(
we can't and won't stop this paper anC
things connected Herewith, to crafty thu
whim of man, woman or child, in thu
circle of our readers. The man, however
meant that we should erase his namt
from our list book, which was quit
another thing, We hope we shall no
again be requested to "stop the Gazette, ;
for unless our mind undergoes a grea
change we shall not do it.-De1ter (Ke.
