An old man, grnmbling tramp, a few
days ago, in passing through street in
Lewistown talked 50 loudly that h. drew
the attention OF a pIrts OF shoem ikers, at
work in The second story of building,
along which the tramp was passing. One
~ the party dropped water on the pave
ment near the old traye'er. Looking around,
the tramp saw ouly one man near, and that
man is the District Attorney of MItfiin
county, and feeling like the Indian when
provoked, like whipping and scalping the
iirst party met, he pitched into the legal
gentleman with vigor that brought out the
muscle OF the Attorney in seif-d-fence.
After round or two, the tramp Wa. put cut
of fighting humor, by b..ing knocked down,
.fIer which he was ready to Proceed on his
journey.

money, the volume OF currency with which

tand there is no telling now much relief it

years more. thr-e-fourths of the natious of
the civilized world must bankrupt AMI must
repudiate their obligations.
