de Sat!
On Friday last r.. j. W. Bloom, the
Dude Of the Record. remarked ut An.
derson's grocery store, in the presence
of a number Of persons, that he would
''play u trick on Miller" Sure enough,
Friday night there was "a trick" play
ed. Three dead cats. securely tied to \
pole, We're set up against the storm
door Of our house. The pole was ap-
parently of hard wood, shaved smooth,
and appeared to hava teen gotten up
regardless of expense. Whether the
Dude gathered up the dead cats himself
and executed the herculean plan which
he had conceived, or whether his weak
intellect was sustained in the great
work by others. we are not informed.
We have noticed, too. for some days
past that placards have been hung to
cur building and pasted on our win.
dows. and in this work, we are ill.,
formed, (and names are given,) lie has
the aid of a sm all boy or two.
1t only remains now for the Council
to appoint him Village Scavenger to
gather up the dead cats, dogs, etc.
These should be boiled into soap and
the soap should be used III washing the
Dirty Dude.

American Builder says of them:
Palliser, Palliser 4 Go. are WELL
known European architects who came
to this country some few years ago,
and were the first to introduce this
modern taste into our domestic archi-
lecture, striking ut everything III the
shape Of ugliness and putting forth in
stead sound and economical cOnstruc-
ton combined with good taste in de-
sign. They are gentlemen who have
had Il thorough practical training. are
able mechanics and constructors, and
their artistic ability is seer in every
thing that comes from their hands; in
fact there is nothing thar can compare
with it. They have earned i national
reputation.
HOW A LAWYER TREATED TIE CASE.

We learn that the Imbecile Dude OF
the Record complains that we do not
exchange with him. We Shall certainly
not recognize this creature rs i printer,
Il publisher or Il man. The attacks he
has made upon US are spit+ful, devi)ish.
malignant personal attacks. and not
attacks upon the ADVANCE or its poll
tics. Tie man who would expect us
to recognize this wretch rs Il legitimate
publisher must lie us weak us the Dude
himself.
Moreover, his reputation is that of Il
common liar and he will invent and
publish forty lies while we are denying
one. 1t WAS freely reported on the
street, and we have looked the matter
up and find it to be 50, that his former
partner i" the printing business with
drew from him chic fly because he found
him to be such 4 liar that he could not
take his word about ordinary business
affairs. Dr.. Dunce took t. is creature
into i partnership to sell patent me.'i-
cines and kicked him out after y few
| days because he found him to be al
unbluslling liar. lie would come to
the Doctor and make Il statement and
then come around in less than IN hour
and swear up and down thai lie never
made any sucl. statement
| But We have Il hundred reasons
for never recognizing this fellow excerpt
by such recognition AS we give to Il
blackguard. He curses every man who
brings us an order for job-work; he
curses the church people Of Worthing-
ton to whom he looks for support; he
curses the man who brought him here
and set him up in business as "a dandy
son of IT,"
! More anon and much worse if this
| creature continues his attacks.
