1t seems very innocent thing to sign a
petition for q street extension. In 1872 a

tribution of three dollars each from the pc
titioners One accommodating man signet
the petition first to have the stree
opened and afterward signed the petition
not to have it opened. Deputy Sheriff
Crawford meets q good many wry faces il
trying to collect.
Apropos of the clam chowder tonight
for the benefit of those who are not poste,
respecting this article of game, THE House
hold SAYS: The clam resides near tn
water. We never heard of one being Dor
or diving natural death. Viewed with n
artists eye, they have no great beauty
The cast of their countenance is very pr
culiar. They have good neck for a stan
up collar They are built much like
old fashioned snuff box, and open similar
and vary in SIZE from q silver half dollar
a buckwheat pancake. They never go ia
from home and can be safely left any
where without hitchng. They are frug'
and honest, and do all their bushes
through the bank. They are hunted wi.
a hoe. In hunting the clam always get {
low water. The fact that they cannot
taken at full tide gave rise to the addg
"as happy as a clam in high water ]
prepare him for the table remove the GU
side wrapper (never use razor y then CT
off the head just below the shoulder blad
When the clam is undressed they resemo
piece of chamois leather, and some PEE
pile pretend to prefer the leather to u
clam az an article of food, but we lean Il
ward the clam.
