IT HAS FALLEN.-Mr. Wanamaker
has refused to appoint US to the post
mastership of this town. The blow
has at length fallen. Honesty, integ
rity, merit. intelligence and enthusi.
asm have gone for naught. A wall
eyed, mp-backed ignoramus, who
cant spell gum, and can scarcely add
two and two, is retained in preference.
Do we turn the other cheek?
Not much! The first thing we did
after receiving the news last night was

at Wanamaker' ten years ago. We
shall never, never buy another dud

Wickham, Judge Perdue, Professor
Wise and others tumble over each other
as they broke for the sage brush. Ar
unfortunate accident occurred in this

late, of Indiana, probably believing
that he had been sent for for barn
burning, or horse stealing. fell over a
bench in his hurry to abscond and
broke his left leg. and it will probably
be two months before he will be able
to be about again.

are very sorry. The only way he car
