The Campaign is over but Campaign stories |
are still circulating. One of the latest is the
following: On the eve after the November |
Elections, some boys, in Q town not far of, |

Democrats were nearly all drunk. One Irish !
man stepped up and commenced conver- |
sation. Finally he became angry and pulled |
out a revolver and put it in his hip pocket, |
also changed the position of q dirk, then |
stepped up and said. III you want to fight, |

A. NJ Fitch, while taking an airing around
town New Years. day with his fiery creamer
met with accident. He was turning a
corner at the rate of about mile a minute
when his cutter turned seventeen times over
in two seconds by actual count. The air
was full OF clothing merchants all around
the west part of the village. The horse ran
up town, was caught, driven back, the pieces
gathered up, put in the cutter, brought up
town and by the aid Of a little court plaster
soon made right. Fitch ought not to drive
such q fast horse. Better trade with Stan or
vischer. or Lee Wadsworth and get a horse
that his family can ride after in safety. c.
Wellington people mostly observed New
Years day by staying at home and going
| through their ordinary business routine. A
few families and Young people got what
pleasure thev could out of the beautiful
sleighing, but the weather was too cold to
make that diversion very enjoyable. The
custom of making New Years calls has for
some reason fallen into disrepute, and was
entirely omitted In Wellington this year.
Tho necessity of 60 much extra work on the
part of the ladies to provide refreshments Is
enough 10 discourage the average woman
from undertaking 1t. and We are not surpris-
ed that they fail to find sufficient pleasure In
New Year'sreceptions to warrant their con-
| tinuance.
