There is . reporter at the Times Office VIII,
writes with equal rapidity with either hand
He is an ambidexter, and a bold, bad n a

I office, and the devil is shouting scopee" lik,
] q fend incarnate, this useful reporter sit!
down at the desk in full company front, ant
with a pencil in each hand slings of loca
{ happenings by the yard. He writes on two
! sheets At once, and don't let his right hanc
! know what his left is driving at, but sits driv
! ing all the same. Recently he got a little OF

l skull, and things became terribly confused,
This is the way his items telescoped each

l SAT Grace church last night the nuptials
of Mr.. Thomas johnson and Miss Julia Law
lrence were celebrated in the most magnificent
style; a costly floral horseshoe being directly
over the altar, and when the yellow cur saw
the flames of anger darling from the eyes OF
1.-THE brindle fyste, he opened with the strains
of the wedding march. Is the handsome
,couple walked down the aisle the excited
crowd began to get frantic, and there were
.yells of Sick 'em, Bull AT him now, Tow
SER as the spectators became interested in the
fight. The bride was elegantly attired in
pure white garments of the most costly
fabric, II she wore the traditional white
veil and wreath of orange blossoms had him
by the neck and his tongue began to Toll out
and his eyes 10 turn SOmersetS as in the Gus
tomary black dress suit, white gloves, ears
cropped close to the head. He was a disrep-
utable looking dog in the beginning, and
ought to have been whipped for being so
homely. He is of good family, and is en-
gagged in one OF the most extensive manufac-
turing establishments in the west. But the
yellow cur seemed to be getting a death grip
OH the throat of the big brindle, and when
he rapturously kissed the bride, ac-
cording to the ancient custom, his bark was
covered with mud and his off hind leg was
terribly chewed up. Among the costly pres
ants received by the happy pair were a fine
piano from the father of the bride, hair had
been scalded from his back, and one eye
seemed to have been struck with an augur.
Af.er a Short bridal tour, the happy couple
will settle down to one of the hardest fought
BATTLES the reporter ever witnessed, and it
vas difficult to tell which dog had been pun
shed worst. The fight ended at exactly 4:4S
fter having been bitterly contested at the
esidence of the brides parents, and lie was
AIKEN to his owners home in a wheelbarroW. |
lie will probably never recover, and if he
oes, will be totally blind, besides being per-
lanently lame in the left hind leg; the beau
full bride received the congratulations of
osts of friends. The groom is one of our most
romising young men, and his owner breads
ne possibility of losing him, as he fears he
an never replace him. The father of the
ride is one Of our wealthiest merchants, and
he yellow fyste limped off with a knowing
box in his eyes and a saucy curl in his tail,
) much as to say, who else wants to try me?'
he ambidexter..was summarily 'fired.'-Ean-
