COULDN'T HEAD IT OFF.

An officer of the Andy Johnson, a gen.
tleman from the east, where wood stoves
are as great rarity as roc's eggs, is
boarding with a private family in
this city. He was led to believe
that the climate was cold, and his
first step On being shown to his room
was to study the construction of the wood
stove. The interior he rightly con &C.
tured, was where the wood was placed,
and he naturally inferred that the proper
thing to do was to Fill the stove to its
utmost capacity. He succeeded in get
ting in quarter OF a cord of wood and
then sat down complacently to await
developments. In about one-quarter of
an hour the boom in that room was of
greater dimensions than any ever gotten
up by q candidate for the presidency.
| The officer began to turn screws with q
| monkey wrench in hopes he could make
the intense heat subside. With every
| turn of the screws the stove seemed to
redouble its efforts in throwing off calor-
| ic. The uninitiated officer next tried the
efficacy of prayer and began, "Now lay
me down to Sleep" but his prayers were
unavailing and the thermometer was fast
running up to the boiling point. The
stove gave full promise that if che lay
him down to sleep" he would be beauti-
| fully cremated. He began to wish for
the company of Bob Ingersoll and Henry
Ward Beecher TO learn their opinion OF
hell. 1t now occurred to him that by a
flank movement he might subdue the
fire. Pushing forward bureau to pro-
tect himself from the fire of the enemy,
he managed to dislodge the stove pipe,
open the stove door and remove the top.
He now had a volcano on his hands,
The fire and smoke issued like the pillar
of cloud and the pillar of fire which
he had heard of when he learned the
little prayer which may successfully
combat fire in the next world, but which
was useless in this. The family were
drawn to the room by the noise created
by the officers last attack upon the stove
He was like the old guard, he could die
but not surrender and was returning the
fire of the stove with copious libations d
water. He insists that he was gaining
on the stove, and if not interrupted
would have gained decisive victory.

long before the public as lecturer, and
is considered one of the most finished

Matthias FELTON,, of East Wrightstown,

A case of assault and battery in our

the Justices idea was that the plaintiff
