For some time we have been inclined TO
the opinion that we are possessed of an an
gelic temperament; but we were fully con-
WINGED of the fact on last Monday night
when we entered our Office and found the
entire report of the stock convention
nearly three columns in all-in one huge
pile on the floor. We looked at the wreck.
but neyera word spake the editor. There
were not words enough in the die
tionary to express our feelings on that oc-
casion. If there is any thing under the
heavens that will cause the cold chiIls to
chase each other up the spine of printers
back, it is to hear the noise of type falling
ON the floor.

not a drunken individual was seen on
