LOCAL EDIToB's DREAM.-Once upon
time local editor dreamed that he was
dead and in another world. He sp-
preached city before him knocked for
admittsnce. but 70 one answered his
suumons. The gate remained closed
against him. Then he cried aloud for
an entrance, but the only response was
scores OF heads appearing above the wall
on the other side of the gate. At sight of
him the owners of the heads set up dis
NAL howl and one of them cried: "Why
didn't yea notice that big egg l gave
you?" At this horrid and unexpected
Interrogation, the poor local turned in
the direction of the voice to learn its
owner, when another voice shrieked:
Where's is that piece you were going
to write about my soda fountainp" and
close upon this was the awful demand:
why did you write piece about old
Tomlinson's hens and never speak OF nv
new gsee?s Whatever answer be was
going to frame to this appeal was cut
short by the astonishing query: "Why
did you spell my name wrong in the pro.
Rramme?" The miserable man turned to
Aoc, WuCu uo was IOUtou W ING KtOuuQ
by these terrible demands: "Why did
you put my marriage among the deaths?"
He was on the point of saying the fore
man did it. when Q shrill voice madly
cried: You spoilt the sale of my horse
by publishing that runaway" and an
other: IF 1 catch you alone I'll lick
you for what you said about me when I
was before the police court" Another:
why didn't you show up the school
question when told you to?" And this
was followed by the voice of female
hysterically sxclaiming: "This is the
brute that botchsd my poetry and made
me ridioulous!'' Whsreupon hundreds
OF voices screamed: Where is my
article? Give me back my artiele!' And
in the midst of the horrid din the posr
wretch awoke, psrspiring at every pore
and screaming for hslp.-[ Sanford Ad.

Why would it not be good thing for both
town and country, if the Commissioners would
set off a part of the rear of the Public Square
for the purpose of accommodating persons
from the country with horses and teams? We
do not desire to say anything that would
iniure the proprietors of livery stables; but
MANY persons come from the country, especial
ly on Saturday, to trade, who do not feel able
to pay bill at a livery stable, for having their
horses and teams cared for. 1t is certainly to
the interest of the business men of town to
have the people come from the country to do
business in town. 1t is inconvenient, and
sometimes dangerous, to have the alleys
crowded with wagons, and to have horses
hitched in the narrow alleys. 1t is hard on tn e
horses to stand in the hot sunshine Only last
Friday, Mr.. Callaghan lost valuable mare, by
her getting scared, and having her leg broken,
and she had to be killed. If it is thought that
the Public Square should not be spoiled would
it not pay for the town, or the business men OF
the town, to secure a lot in some convenient
portion of the town, and have rapidly growing
trees set out to make shade, an d throw 1t open
to the public?

We fell into train of random thoughts" on
Monday night, and could not Sleep Just after
the clock struck twelve, the strains of "Home
Sweet Home," arose in front of our residence
from string band. The large front window,
opening upon the balcony, was raised, and we
went out and sat in the window The band
after a time changed to "The Mocking Bird, u
and other airs 1t was most delicious music.
and we felt indeed fiattered that our young
friends should thus remember us. We learn
that the little band was composed of Davie
DUNCAN, Jesse Laird jr. Harry Bedel and Joe.

One day last week there was tremendous
excitement on Portsmouth street, west of the
School House. It was usually a quiet neigh
borhood, but on that day the morning air was
suddenly smitten by the screams of women, the
shouts of children and general pandemonium
of sounds. 1t was soon discovered that the
ladies and children had been attacked by
deadly, hideous, awful snake and were fight
ing for their lives. After desperate encounter
of some minutes duration, they succeeded IN
killing the monster. Although thus brought
face to face with death in its most horrible
shape Mrs. Shropshire and Miss Anderson both
declare to this day that they were not the least
bit scared. The snake was of the venomous
ssgarter'' species, and measured from UP 10 up
four inches and half.
