There is a corner on the slope Of Beacon
hill, at the junction Of Mount Vernon and
West Cedar streets, where the sidewalk
slants desperately, where in winter the ice
collects and around which it is at any time
rather difficult to get without falling. To
jewellers at the West end this is known as
Point Judith, and many are the wrecks that
have been made on its treacherous verge
The familiar title Of a portion of the next
street is one Of the happiest examples of the
sort OF local wit we are considering. Arisso-

its leisurely and dignified way between
stately and antique mansions to Charles

hoped there is none ugher-is variously
known as the Church of the Holy Dragons
TAIL the Church Of the Holy Corn-Cob,"
the Church Of the Holy Corkscrew," and
from the fancied resemblance Of the spire to
