 We are sorry our amiable neighbor of the Connecticut Western NEWS permit ted his back to get little elevated be- cause we criticised rather harshly Out no more harshly than it deserved) an ar ticle from Salisbury correspondent but as the criticism in no way reflected un- kindly upon the editor of the paper, he perhaps will consent to permit his back to resume it's normal perpendicular po- sition.-Thonaasto,e Express.
 Back elevated Not in the least neighbor James. We knew your iaa- tentions were good even if you were mis- taken in your opinion of the correspond ent, but if you are going to play the role of critic you must not think persons back is elevated if he turns the laugh onto you. If you were in the habit ot getting elevated that would explain your wrong conclusions, but we suppose you are temperate, especially when cider is $5 barrel. Now don't let your back get elevated but be as willing to take a joke as to give one.
