There are some tricks played that
are smart, and then again there are some
that are not smart. Last Monday night,
while the buggy of DIR. John Ewing was
standing under the Union Hotel sheds, in
Pennington, some one removed the burs
holding the wheels on the axle and threw
them under the wagon. The Doctor has

petrated in spirit of pure deviltry. Had
the Doctor had occasion to drive out in

County Temperance Alliance, held in the
M. E. Church in this city, last Friday,
drew out very small crowd. By some

ignored in the operations of the Society,
and its influence seems to have been to
disintegrate the temperance forces of the
county, instead of uniting them.
The temperance meeting on Thursday
evening, in the M. E. Church, was slimly
attended, owing to the storm. The adj
dresses by Rev. Mr.. Rooney, of Fleming
ton, and Rev. Mr. Hill, of Clinton, were
excellent, and were worthy of better
audience.
