IDLE REPORTS.


Some people, of both sexes, possess the pc
culiar moral characteristics of enlarging upon
every subject that may reach their ears, and
repeating what they have heard to every
willing listener, without going to the trouble
of investigating the truthfulness or falslty OF
the SANDER or praise, the case may be,
scattering it broadcast to the world, regard
less of consequences, and not caring whether
it strikes friend or foe. One of these cases
came under our observation yesterday, and
per consequence, the only strictly religious pa
per in the State came nigh publishing an un-
truth in its veracious columns. Oh, horror.
We shudder when We think Of it. Yesterday
we were informed that highly respected gen
tleman of this city were to be welded to-day
to one of our most accomplished widows;
lady possessing all the intellectual and moral
charms to render home pleasant and happy.
We were assured that the event would trans
pire to-day ''eyen were the heavens to fall
There certainly was nothing wrong about that,
and we rather felt pleased to hear that two
that terrestrial realm of bliss We wrote up
an article forsthe occasion, full of sentiment,
gush and sugar plums, which was to have ap-
peared in our issue of this morning, and felt
rather that we had distinguished ourself in
this particular, when a discreet and prudent
young friend of ours informed us that there
was not the slightest atom Of truth in what
we had heard This prompted us to make
further inquiries into the matter, and we &C
tually ascertained that we had been made the
dupe of by person possessing the above char
acteristics. He says that he fully believed
what he told US to be true as gospel. Not
only is of the most sentimental
articles that ever fowd from the pen of the
Volunteer Aid lost to the world, but we just
escaped wounding the feelings of an estimable
lady and gentleman. People should be more
careful about repeating what they may casually
hear, and there would be less misunder- |
standings and heart aches in this world.

drove up to his station and he was unlocking !
the team, one of the leaders became loose, |
and ran off around the barn. Our hero rose
up slowly from the lead bar where he was at
work uncoupling, and looking around asked |
lesurely, "where's that near leaderl" The
driver who is wag in his way, replied, Lift
up your boot and look under"
Com SHIPME,, IA huge pile of regulation
boxes stood on tie platform last evening and
was an object of great interest to the impecu
NOUS loafers who do there congregate. The
energetic Pinckney OF Wells Fargo & Co.,

If sec, 900, to New York from the Mint, and
vas the balance of a $3.50. 900 lot, all of which
S pretty good silver bill (of lading)
FINE Books Mr. Isaac Mcconnell re-
,eived from the East two of the most elegantly
pound and printed volumes of Shakespeare
We ever saw, and we must confess that W0

A sight at the above books is enough to make
Shakespearean students mouth water.
