MILTON.

The funny man ofour town tells the follow.
ing as good one, upon one of our popular
and energetic clerks. A lady drove up to
the store ;hitched and informed the clerk that
she had supply of butter in the carriage.
The ever accommodating young man rushed
and grasped what he supposed he had gone
after. When he reached the butter depository.
he made many vain attempts to open the
box; he then appealed to the lady for assist
ance. why" said she, 'you have made
mistake, that is not my butter" It was soon
discovered if he had opened the object in
view, he would have found a set of survey
or's instruments. The Georgetown surveyor
had better keep sharp eye on his case when
lie again visits this place of business, for the
said clerk is ever on the alert to capture
everything presumed to contain the fruit of
the creamery.
