Getting Square With Bursted Bank.

During the bank mania in the West,
when every little village and hamlet
boosted its bank, one Of these public
accommodation" sprung up in Mount
Vernon, Ohio, under the cognomen of
"Owl Creek Bank" taking its name
from q small but beautiful stream pass
ing through the village.
The affairs of the institution went on
swimmingly for short time, but short
time only. Like all its kindred Of
money representation, it was declared
insolyent. A morning or two after this
important fact had come to light, mys-
terious-loolling person, wrapped up to
his eyes in cloak, presented himself at
the counter Of the bank, rendering some
of their bills, and demanded, in a seri-
GUS manner, their redemption in gold or
silver. He was told that the bank had
neither. He then demanded Eastern
funds.
"No funds on hand" was the brief
reply.
"Can YOU" said the mysterious per-
sonage, "give me tolerably well execut-
ed counterfeit notes on solvent banks Z?
| would prefer them to this trash"
This was a home thrust not to be sub
mitted to.
"Out Of the bank, you insulting
puppy"
"Hold ! / may have made some mis-
take. Am right in supposing myself
in the Office of the Owl Greek Bank?"

Curious BIunders.

The numerous instances OF mistaken
identity on record are constantly receiv-
ING new additions. There is IN amusing
account Of French lady who was very
jealous Of her husband, and determined
TO watch his movements. On one occa-
sion, when he told her he was going to
Versailles, she followed him, keeping
him in sight till she missed him in a
passage leading to the railway station.
Looking about her for few minutes,
she saw man coming out Of a glove
shop with rather oyer-dressed lady.
Making sure from the distance that this
man was her husband, she came sud
denly up and, without II word of warn
iug, gave him three or four boxes on tho
ear. The instant the gentleman turned
round she discovered her mistake, and,
Mt tue same time, caught sight Of Lcr
husband. who had merely called at n
tobacconists, and was crossing the
street. There was nothing for it but to
faint in the EARNS Of the gentleman whose
ears she had boxed, while the other lady
moved away to avoid n scene. The stran-
ger, astonishcd to lind an unknown lady
u his arms, was further startled by
gentleman Selling him by the collar and
demanding what he meant by embracing
that lady.
"Why, she boxed my ears, and then
tainted, " exclaimed the aggrleved gen
tloman.
"She is my wife |" shouted the angry
husband, "aul would never have struck
yUu without a cause"
And worse than angry words would
probably have happened had not the
cause OF the whole misunderstanding
recovered sufficiently to explain how it
nil happened
An amusing blundor was once made
by dyer, who was given by Il farmer
four flannel shirts to be dyed fast gray
color, instead Of which he dyed them
red. On wearing the garments, the
color came out Of them 80 that, us the
farmer expressed it, she looked like a
red Indian; ;" and, as it cost him several
BhiIIings in baths to turn himself into
white man again, he sued the dyer, and
obtained damages.
An embarrassing incident once hap
pened to an Euglishmun III Rome. In
tcrlng one OF the churches in that city,
as Il service was going on, he nat quietly
down, placing his hat ON the ground
beside him. Some little time passed,
and US there seemed no immediate pros
pect OF the ceremony coming TO an end,
he reached for his hat, III order to leave,
but WAS stODpcd hy un unseen hand.

We'd rather be kicked by a charger lean,
Than have to eat oleomargarine.

The regular annual picnic OF Miss
Kellar's school took place last Tues
day, in one OF the beautiful groves
near Covin.ton. The weather was
very unpropitious. however, and a
heavy shower abont eleven O'Clock
put a dampener up"n the juhilant
spirits of the little folks, and they
were compelled to repair to the
re sidence of Justice Kennedy. where
tn y were taken in out Of the wet.
There the festive board" was soon
spread, anI the balance of the day
spent i'll youthful enj. 'yment. We
acknowledge the compliment of
M invitation, and intended to
be present in the evening, had not
the rain sandwiched between us and
our promised pleasure. We return
thanks 10 tn talented teacher. how
even, for liberal samples of some OF
the good things provided for the
occasion.
