THERE is story going the rounds Of
the press Of a young man whose imagin-
alton gave grandeur to ordinary scenes.
He attended ball given by Mr.. Smith
one night and wrote up a glowing de-
scription Of the affair, in which there
were many classic illusions and splendid
figures of rhetoric. The young man in
vulgar parlance, had "Iaid himself out"
to produce a sensation, and he awaited
in feyerish anticipation the appearance
of the paper which was to make him
famous. What was his modification to
find that the editor had taken off the re-
dundant matter and gave the only fact
of interest that the essay contained,
namely, "There was q ball at Smith S
last night" This was the bald headed
fact which the editor had rescued from
the mass Of words with which the writer
had encountered it. There is little
moral to this story which we wish to
press upon the attention of some Of our
readers, apd it is sufficiently obvious
without being stated in express words.

THERE is no longer any apprehensions
that there will be scarcity Of Ice during
the coming summer. The recent spell
Of cold weather has been improved to
the fullest extent in putting up ice. The
prospect of scarcity induced a great
many to go into the ice business and
there is probably more ice stored now
then can be used. It is not of the best
quality but will serve every purpose.

ALL the officers and members of the
fire department resigned on Monday.
The fremen complain that their services
do not receive proper recognition from
the city authorities. They at present
receive ten dollars per year, and this,
they say, is not sufficient TO make good
the damage to clothing by attendance at
fires. The city council refused to raise
the salaries and hence the resignation.
The fremen say that they would accept
any little advance in salary as token of
appreciation.
