Now and then the editor, who has
nothing to do the most Of his time, is
brought to an account by a few per-
sons whose feelings have been agrieved
by ''that item' which appeared, and
whose feelings must be soothed or the
paper will be stopped. Last week,
unfortunately was no exception. an
other little personal item appeared,
and after a severe castiRation the edi-
tor left for parts unknown, being afraid
he might be challenged to mortal COM
bat. But such is an editors life. Boys
if you wan. to lead an easy life, and
have lots of people down on you, take
our advice and all become editors.

nifty will give him a trial His place OF

We were sorry. that,a report OF the
celebration of the Fourth at Pedi IL
town did not appear in our columns
last week, but it was uniLtentiansl on
owl part. For fear that Plod would
not be at home and we should fail to
get n report, we tried to make arrange
ments it'll a gentleman who WAS there
taking notes, to give us a report, and
supposed our arrangements were COM
plete and the report would come in due
tine, as he promised; but, We were sur
prised to learn on our arrival home
that no report had come fiom Pedrick-
town. II may lie that Plod was there
and may yet come to our rescue. Ii lie
does not, we hope our readers will eA-
cuse us, as tie fault was not ours.
