A Combination of Errors.

In Washington, Warren County, New
Jersey, lately, young man employed
ON farm was out late counting, and
on reaching home endeavored to get in
surreptitiously and quickly. Unfor-
tunately the farmer was an early bird,
and seeing the man in the twilight mis-
took him for burglar and aimed chair
at him, at the same time shouting for
help. A third man, sleeping on the same
floor, rushed TO the farmers assistance.
The courtier had sloped up stairs on the
instant, unframed, and the third man
also falling into error as to identity,
knocked the farmer down with chair
The farmer thinks his help had better
take night key his next "sparking
night"
