5niffIes on a Fire Engine.

SiillIlCS I'll q hS
Our distinguished friend Sniffies does
not allow small things to engross his
mind. His higl excitement in regard
10 bis boys last week went down like
the bead on tumblcr of beer. Now
he is exercised on . more important
subject-that Of fire engine. For the
life of him be cannot understand why
a respectable, intelligent, energetic and
prosperous community like this of New
berry does notimmediately, if not soon
er, raise the funds and procure the
means Of fighting fire. Why, says he,
only few nights ago we had another
episode in the destruction by fire Of the
little brick and mud rum mill on the
corner of Main and Nance Streets. Sup
pose that it had been q more elevated
building (elevating however much in
its character and spirits) and 3 dead
wall did not intervene, why we would
have had another fire equal to the two
former. We barely escaped it by the
skin of our teeth, and yet no steps are
taken, not word is said. I cannot see
into it, it beats me, our people act like
first class donkeys. I don't look for
any change, however, till we have 4
fire which will lay all former fires in
the shade, then meeting will be called
of the houseless at the B:hdusian Spring
and unanimous resolution carried to
get an engine The old story of locking
the stable door after the horse is stolen.

Although sometimes without being

weekly by Postmaster Boone, and last
week had call from a colored indivi-
dual for registered letter. On being
told that this was not the Post Office,
be said he had been directed to come to
the Dead Office. This is rather hard
on the HERALD, but We publish jokes

A Sharper Caught.

Tuesday negro came to Mr. Thos.
S. Abrams in town and proposed 10
hire. lie then asked Mr.. Abrams to
change $40 for him; Mr.. A. told
him he didn't have the change. He
then asked Mr.. A. to walk down street
with him and he'd show him trick.
When near Mr.. Taylor's carriage shop
he drew out pack Of peculiar cards.
and showed him; which one to bet on to
always win. He then induced Mr.. A.
to walk further with his,. While stand
ine near the bridge on Helena Street
and explaining the cards second ne
gro stepped up az if he were stranger,
ana offered to bet Mr.. a. $40 that be
couldn't draw the right card. Mr.. A.
didn't take the bet. Mr.. Geo. A. Lang
ford came along about this time and
MIR. A. told him what had occnrred.
MIR. Langford started for the negroes to
arrest them; they both ran, but he sue
ceeded in capturing the one that had
been so kindly explaining the cards.
On his person he found q counterfeit
$40 note, i pack of peculiar cards and
q razor. He gave his name as Billy
Jones, and says he is from Virginia.
1t seems that these two negroes are
playing exactly the same game that

ed on old man Dick DeWalt last fall,
and for which Judge Kcrshaw sent
them to the penitentiary for three years
at the November Court. Billy Jones

address, and then introduced the par
Elephants in their order. Mr.. Edward
J. Houseal read an essay on The Falla-
cies of Youth. Mr.. Houseal thinks one

estimation, than their fathers. ''Is a
Republican preferable to Monarchical
form of Government" was debated by
MIR. Jno. r. Lea7ell, Jr., in the affirm
ative, and MIR. Wm. J. Cherry in the
negative. Mr.. Leavell insisted that re-
publics are more conducive to the liber-
ty and the happiness of the subjects.
Mr.. Cherry contended that monarchies
were more durable Mr.. ". Gustave
Heuseal delivered an Grafton on The
Object of Life". While the speeches
were all good this vas specially so; ii
was thoroughly solid and sensible.
At the close of Mr.. Houseal's speech
a fine looking stranger in the rear par
of the hall arose and addressed the
President in a very earnest tone. HI
expressed the qualification afforded hin
by the exercises, and continuing be de
lif::ered what would be considered :
first ~ate sermon in any pulpit in tht

prise, as tois part of the exercises wa
not down IN the programme and wa
