concluded on last Sunday that possibly his
sizing might be heightened out by few
sticks if he were to put in an extra lick or
SO on that day, went to the office in which
he was employed and laid off his coat,
rolled up his sleeves, and waded in for all
that was in sight. He had not been at the
case long before certain mysterious and
omlnous sounds were heard in the build-
ing; the doors and windows creaked, and.
he says, "by jolly" the type in the case
even ratified. At any rate, it was not long
before he was seen emerging from the
Office with all the hairs left on his head,
each standing separate, and his eyes look-
