Somebody suggests that Grant is shaping

A wild furry was produced in Boston last
week by the report that President Arthur had
been shot. One man declared he had seen the
announcement on bulletin board. The shoot
ing of president is not now so uncommon
an event as not to have such report gain
ready credence.

sense of victory to ransack the old trunks
and now and then fish out and sell story that

The discussion relative to the retirement OF
Justice Hunt from the supreme bench must
be humiliating to that venerable gentleman il
not to his family. Messrs. Bayard and Hoar
plainly intimated that they think it is the
duty of Judge Hunt to resign, and that his
