Mr.. Noble Tcnnent, when starting to a
picnic, carries along a box Of collars. We
like to see an appropriate collar, but the
l,ssion up North occasions remark i'll this

these degenerate days prefer he flowing
style.
We have not seen the "old Roman" of
the mills, lately. He should come ont

constituents. We suppose he is recruit
ting for the ncxt session, which we hope
will be short.
