The "Atlas" still occasions good
deal of talk, and while there is still
good deal of indignation manifested tow
ard the parties who are delivering it,
and toward White, who inveigled SO
many to sign, there are not few laugh
able incidents connected with the mat
ter. In several instances, the agents
who are delivering the books, have been
pelted over the head by the atlas, drove
from the house with brooms and cudgels
and threatened with assassination. Our
little item last week, in regard to the
meeting of the geography class, was
taken seriously, by several who came out
on the evening mentioned and made in
quiry in relation to the atlas meeting.
One day last week, school district clerk
living some distance from the village,
came here to make oath to and hand in
his report. While looking for magis-
trate, he was directed to certain shop
where he would probably find Mr.. -,
who would administer the oath for him.
He stepped in and saw gentleman who
he thought had about the proper build
and dignity for Justice of the Peace.
AS he approached the officer of the law,
he took from under his overcoat some
thing about as large over as an atlas,
and while handing it toward him, asked
if he was not Mr.. -. In an instant
the Justice, forgetting the dignity of his
Office, seized the surprised and startled
district functionary, and started him to
ward the door with violence that was
not at all agreeable. The clerk founC
words to say that he only wanted tt
take oath to his record, when he was re
leased, with the satisfactory apolog.
from the justice, that he supposed he wa
one of those COMPOUNDED atlas fellows.
