The He LLERlNG WoMAN-There is,
says The Burlington Hawkeye, one 'hol-
lering womon' in every street. A woman
who never goes after any body, but always
calls across the street. Who never looks
for her children, but rushes to the tront1
gate and shrieks for them until in the
pauses OF her shouting, she hears them
answering from the room she has just
left. Every street has one holering
woman No street has more, for ss soon
as two 'hollering women are thrown by
pitiless fate upon one street, the neigh
bors vacate and emigr te until ren4 come
down, or, as oftener happens, one Of the
hollerng women pulls up stakes and
goes elsewhere, for they cannot brook
opposition. The holering woman gen
orally manages to keep her street in a
lively state Of elocutionary excitement,
and if you happen to live within under
standing distance, your diurnal serenade
is something like tnis: Tommy! Tom
meet Tommy! Oh, Tom, You Tom
Come right along here, and break up
some dry wood, orl'll break your back
Mary! You Mar rec! You get right

Last Friday, as Calvin Carr, of New
Haven Mills, was leading his horse from
the blacksmith shop at this place, where
he had had him shod, Otto Moore, very
facetious youth from Middlebury, drove
by, and struck Mr.. Carr's horse SHARP
blow with his whip, causing tho ANNA
to plunge and tear away. He ran about
two miles before he was secured. Such
practical jokes are extremely funny. Il
is said that Mr. Moore's sense of humol
was somewhat heightened by artificiu
means.
Sweet harmony docs not rcign in the
bosoms Of tho denizens of the lively little
section known as South Bristol. and IN.
