HOTEL HUMORs.-The hotel keepers
have their perplexities and humors of
professional character like other
people, as was shown in an incident
last week. The prOprietors of the
Smyrna and Delaware Houses had
each a hanger on" that they got tired
looking at, and one proposed to the
other swap as matter of mutual re-
lief. The services of third party were
engaged to help carry out the joke.
He of the Delaware House was asked
to take a ride and the driver, (whO had
been let into the secret promptly
dropped them down at the Smyrna
House, Ostensibly to take a 'smile''
before entering on their journey.
While the vehckle was waiting,
proposition was made to No. to play
joke on the party at the bar by riding
off in their team. In he jumped, and
the driver putting whip to his horse,
soon had him safely landed at the
Delaware House. but the joke after all
rests on the proposing proprietor, for
the last soon found his way back and
now he has both.
