Somebody sent Our good natured
young friend, Mr.. G. D. Blume, an
April Fool last Saturday, which was
cruelty ridiculous in ita appearance,
and calculated to prey upon the mind
OF q gentleman so exquisitely sensi-
tive. We would advise G. d. to get
married or go West. The young
laeies will never let him have any
peace as long as he remains here as a
single man.
One II. T. Leggett left shooting
stick hanging on window to the
ladies' parlor ut the depot ON Wed

persons as had no opportunity to sub

Shepperson, corner South and Market
Streets, Richmond, Va. Many will
probably not value it less when they
learn that the profits will all
