THE NORTH EAST RECORD. y

THE NORTH EAST "EECoED."
Evidently, from the tenor of the article
viii Ii appeared in the columns of the
North East (patenD Record, our neighbor
must he considerably exercised, or he would
not have inflicted its numerous CD readers
with its vuumnouS gas. which has been
generating for the past fortnight i'll that old
whisky "clsk,' which looks Us if it had
been filled Il thousand times or more, but
has recently been transformed into the
image of It "rain barrel which became so
full of wigglc tails it boiled over last week
proiuScly. We are inclined 10 think the
Record has clipped another solid chunk OF
wisdom" which enabled him to write such
a fluent and pedantic article, which Is GER
tainly very Interesting reading, and while
he is in the mood for writing, we will
suggest Il problem for his next issue. II it
takes four engineers with that majestic bar
rel 1T the lead, and his corps of efficient re-
porterS (Sumc OF whom We learn are con-
tributorS to the Baltimore american, who,
1t IS said by a contemporary, tooh oboW as
rise as an otcl, two weeks to put up such a
wggle tailed article as that which appeared
last week, how long would it require them
to get up Dutch almanac, "yaw, saviS.
BY the way the Record gathered up sutfi
cheney of news i'll the two weeks, previous
to enable him to issue Il supplement- last
week about the size of Il postal card. We
heard a gentleman say the other day, he
had notion TO put it i'll II frame and hang
it up III his office fora memorial of the hecord
for future reference, us the case might be.
= But the RccOrm still lives - iii that lofty
sphere, where the commingled sounds of
dying groanS of bcSotted husbands and
fathers, the bitter anguish of the widowed
wives and mothers, and the piercing cries
of their baby victims, all greet his ear,
blended into one sweet harmonious sound.
. Still the Record lives poised in that con
genial cline, breathing the sweet atmoS-
phere Of heaven. But, hark, he listens, and
catches the 9 still low voice OF the rum
sellers saying yield not to those pcstifcrouS,
hcartlcSS temperance fellows, who wouid
deprive us of our living and rob us of our
trade, which we are lawfully protected in.
And besides we are recommended To the
courts by twelve respectable freeholdcrS,
bonded in the sum of $500 each by two
wealthy gentlemen CD us Il guarantee of
good faith, that we wiIlnot sell more whisky
TO our customers than they can drink or
carry away and besides, each OF our bonds
is witnessed by 4 gentleman of standing in
good society, who, ii they only owned land
enough To bury themselves would chertu!ly
recommend us to the Clerk us men OF sterling
worth and noble hearts, who have secured
the money which once belonged to the he
sotted husbands and fathers, broken hearted
wives and mothers, and denuded starving
children. But We got it lesitimately in eX-
change for our whisky, and if you should
come To want, or your landlord should at
tempt to distr:sin your goods, we will pay
your rent, all we ask i'll return is to publish
to the world at large, North East has two
respectable hotels, but no drinking saloons"
and we will stand by you.
EXCURSION.
The North East NJ. f. Sabbath School ex-
cu:sion to Colchester Beach proved quite Il
success on Saturday last The day Was all
that could be desired, and everything passed
off tremendously and pleasantly. No bar,
no drunkenness, no dancing, no swearing,
to mar the pleasure of the day. In fact
we heard Il gentleman say that the devil
was completely cheated for the first time on
an excursion from this place. About one
hundred and scvcuty-tive children were
aboard. The Band diScoursed some excel
ent music. Bathing, Grabbing, fishing, Re,
he order ofthc day. The party return
ed home about shutdown, net proceeds about
fifty dollars for the rcplenishmcnt of the
library.
