PROF. HEINRICHs theory of a mild win
ter is not looking so ridiculous as it did
a month ago. The weather for the past
two weeks, could only be called winter at
all by courtesy, for it has all the charac-
teristics of balmy spring. The worthy
Professor, at the State University is
doubtless enjoying the discontinue of
those editors who, for the past three
months have been, with their quill points,
puncturing his weather theories. The
only possible criticism, under present cir
cumstances, is that Heinricns is a little
winter, and little premature if spring.

A BAD BERRY.-Some weeks since we
had occasion to mention some of the ras-
calities perpetrated by one Sam Berry in
this vicinity and his sudden departure
for other regions, after embezzlement of
money belonging TO his employer. He
went to LIE Roy Mimi, where it seems he
played his peculiar role of dead beat, and
with his usual success. The following
article is from the LIE Roy Independent,
of February Sd:
SKIPPED.-That young man who open
ed saloon at P. McTigue's old stand
under the name of Sam Kline, alias Sam
Berry, and we don't know how many
other "alirses," has skipped out, leaving
bills behind him to the amount of about
$4,000. r. NJ. Slitor, proprietor of the
Leroy House, was one of the heaviest
losers, his bill for board of the rascal
and his wife being about $4,000. 1t seems
that the young scoundrel came hele from
Independence, Iowa, for the express pur-
pose of dead beating everybody he had
any dealings with, and he has done SO to
ptTIcCtlOu. II WIS SOIllt clSHt WCCkS ago
that the chap came here, and rented p
McTIgue's building for $35 90 per month,
and opened up saloon, which he run
about a month; but since the first week
has paid nothing to any one, and run in
debt to everybody he could find that
would trust him. He remained long
time at the hotel under the pretense that
he was expecting some money from his
father in Il few days with which to settle
up his bills; but the money did not come,
and last Saturday the fellow managed to
take his valise to the depot unobserved by
Mr.. Slitor, and, with his wife concealed
himself in an out building at the depot,
until the passenger train came along,
when they silly got aboard, and bidding
adieu to Leroy and its hospitable citi
zens, left for parts unknown, probably
he has gone after that money his father
neglected to send HIM, leaving behind
him an old trunk containing half dozen
empty pcrfumery bottles with which to
pay his bills.

IT has been said that the man who
can conduct a newspaper without max
ing enemies, is we'll fitted to become the
editor in-c chief of medical almanac
Our experience for couple of weeks
past, enables us to fully appreciate the
force of the remark. We suppose we have
no right to hope for distinction in the lat
ter position, though we hope to offend
those only who are enemies of the public
and preying upon it. From such we ask
no quarter.

THE latter part of last week our city
had visitation as distasteful as one OF
the plaques of Egypt, in the shape of Il
score or more of the blackleg fraternity
One or two of the sleek looking rascals
who were pointed out TO us, are the same
fellows who figured in our county once
before in the kindred capacity of cloth
pedlers. We have not heard that they
picked up any flats. A vigorous appli
cation Of the vagrant act is the proper
remedy for such raids.

Several good-looking editors are in
town. They are from abroad, which ex,
plains it.-Cons rcatics.
Explains what? That they are in town,
explains that they are from abroad, we
suppose. We suppose our friend Barn
hart means to intimate that when there
arc good-looking editors in town, they
must necessarily be from abroad. We
think he is too modlst by half. We can
prove by testimony, that he will not at
tempt to impeach, that our neighbor is a
very good-looking man--for an editor.

SAM BERRY, whose latest exploits In

he could make it into dollars, to last HIM
