BAY VIEW, February !, 1855
Bob still lives and although he expects to
90 the way of all flesh, Jabin's thereat
causes him no uneasiness as he does not APP
prrhr-J an untimely death but GnleSs
/ Jabin gets more sleep and less excitement
! he will ore long inhahit rhr city Of rh" dead.
\ hur-t attached u a 5IeISu driven by the
Misses Simcoe being smooth shod fell on the
ice: hring tutaugied in the harness it vas
unable to get up but the ladies soon took in
the situation and in due tine aud with
much skill they succeeded in getting the
animal loosed from the sleigh, after which
they led him across the ice, fastened the
harness. rehitched 10 the sleigh and went
on their way rejoicing, proving themselves
to be useful as well ~ Oruame ntal.
The other day entering the store we
were shocked to the prophet and leXico-
grapher, and one of our noted Scribes quar-
relling over IA lot of items each claiming
their authorship. Each commended their
points well but the prophet being SLOW of
speech that the scribe was getting away
with him ventured to cut off his wind by
SuttLluS MS THROAT puI WAS pt'N'hV'N w
one of the by-standers. Shame on you
scrihes thus to wrest!e.
Il. T. Tyson's horse Bell still holds the
championship as the fastest trotter in and
around Bay View.
Mr. George \. Burns who has been seri-
ously ill for several weeks past is now con-
valesceat.
Our p. NJ, Mr.. John Jauney, has been on
the sick list thes efew days past.
We are sorry to learn that our wheel.
wright intends TO leave us in the spring.
We believe he is going to start carriage
making on his own hook III one of our
neiguhoriug villages. Bob is n fine fellow
and we wish him success not only in his
enterprise but in his efforts to win . certain
one OF the fair sex.
We would now like to say few words
concerning Jabn, the SCRIBE in your late
issue. Now we all know j Adm and have all
known him TO be man OF BRILLIANT agi-
nation and have patiently borne with him
as such, knowing that he was unable to dis
criminate between the truth and the hallu-
cinations of his boundless Imagination.
But now that he has become involved in
love troubles and has deXterously succeeded
in getting the upper hand of his opponent,
the joy of gaining the prize and the victory
over bis rival has been too much for him
aud HIS thrown him from his base. While
in that state, trautically clutching his pen
and giving vent to his imagination which
had not been impaired, he succeeded in
scribbling off what we saw i'll your last is
sue Being lovers of truth and knowing
that it is mighty and will prevail, we will
kindly correct the errors OF Jabin and say
to him that we forgive him for be knows
not what he does As TO Mr.. Jeffries having
the govt is Il mistake. Mr.. j. never was
enjoying better health than at present, and
were some of Mr.. Us friends of the fair sex
to get a-hold of Jabin they would make
short work of him.
Concerning tue races of which Jabiu
spoke do not deny the speed of Mr..
Leedom's horse, but the three heats with
| Mr.. Tyson's bay mare Bell never oc.
| CURED MIR. LeedOm's horse did beat the
| others, but when Mr.. T. put in an appear
ance Mr.. L. promptly left the course and
thus far there has been no race between the
| two, but as we have seen both horses trot
| we predict an easy victory for Bell. Being
lovers of the truth we are forced to make
| this explanation, hoping that Jabin will not
soon aspire to the office of a scribe.
The funeral of James Johnson took place
here today, and was one of tue largest in
| attendance that has ever been ia the church,
there being ~ carriages accompanying the
| hearse from the house to the church at
which place the services were held by Rev.
| Mr.. Miller from North East, assisted by the
| Rev. Mr.. LtSinger of Bay View. Mr..
| Miller delivered very appropriate dis
course from thoughts suggested by his text
Hebrews 9th chapter ana 9th verse. Mr..
johnson was well known throughout the
county, and will be much missed by all his
| friends and neghbors.
Expecting to write again l remain yours,
BOB.
