During my VACATION I've had a
celebration; and via variation, ham
mered out all inspiration from my
fingers ends-tacking down the car
pets, guess better take another tack
These have been noui,ag moments
sole stirring times. The first of April
wave swept me out of my latitude
somewhat-but Providence is kind
it landed me as usual, before church
door; If / am not save it will not be
chargeable to Providence i and in q
pleasant neighborhood to which l am
becoming acclimated as rapidly as the
weather permits. In the mean times
what shall / say to interest you ?

would suggest to my friends, the
small boys of the city, that they use
the public square in which to play
hide and seek"; there are lots OF
hooks they could utilize IN the
game; one of them is at the entrance
to the Statesman Office. I was in d.
M. Kilmer's store room the other day
and seen bottle carry man into a
recess behind the door. Poor man !;
he seemed very dry, and he wasn't
allowed to drink in peace either. For
further information, see Mr.. Kilmer.
DIR. Snodgrass is having the house
he lately purchased on the corner of
King and College streets, taken down,
with the intention of erecting build
ing of fine proportions and modern
architecture on its site, which will be
quite an addition to that part of the
city.
Mr.. Fiery intends to build hand
some cottage on the lot fronting the
rectory of Trinity Episcopal Church.
The Silver Leaf Dramatic Compa-
ny render a drama entirely new to
this community, at the entertainment
they intend to give in few weeks.
They are an efficient and painstaking
company, and promise an enjoyable
entertainment to all their patrons and
friends.
l was hind cred from seeing "Si
Slocum," but am told that they play
ed to a full house, and that it was the
play par excellence.
More entertainments are coming
this way, of which ample notice will
be given.
Mat. Mccormick says Andy let a
postal card fall on his foot I'd rath-
er believe it was love letter., and
that's what gave him the rheumatism;
but then you know that Mat. like all
Irishmen, is not responsible for his
witticism /; he can't help it.
The business end of vigilance
committee ought to take some of the
West Va. Press reporters of the noun
tain district. They have clear COM
prehenslon of our State motto, Montdai
Semper Liberi- else they would not be
so free in turning over mountains
and sending the bottom of Cheat river
through to China. If somebody had
sent them on after the rock, we would
have been spared the lurid stories of
and the friends of Hon. w. III. H.
Flick would now be in ignorance of
the fact that instead of being after his
official business at Parkersburg, he is
sick alb ed-in your mind.
l felt SO m melancholy over the de-
generacy of the press of the State since
my entree intoit, that / dropped into
poetry.-that relief for an overburden-
ed mind, and safety valve for too
much pressure generally. l would
remark by way of preface to those
who may be tempted to organize
shotgun campaign in this direction,
that the Artillery company and Zou.
ayes are '',cith" me.
