HERE AND THERE.

A man who docs not deserve tho name,
has cut the tongues out of about forty
animals over in Indiana county. His last

you kiss her."-[Blizzard.

| If you own few foot lot it's not so
much to boast of in the way of width on
the surphage, bat it goes down 1900 miles

Just think of it. Take my advice an buy
a few feet all round you an 1000 miles
under you and set it out in Vick's plauts

! pay back subscription: at is a sad duty
TO us to state to the many readers Of this
paper that we are actually in need of a
SUIT of clothes. We would like to attend
! preaching, but remain away because we
are ashamed TO enter the church with the
suit that is worn daily; we go occasionally
but have to slip in quietly and take a back
seat. This piece is not written for the
purpose of soliciting some kind friend Ia
donate us a suit of clothes, nor some tree
hearted merchant TO sell us a suit on time
but TO arouse the sympathies of those
owing us. We have spent the last dollar
in our possession 10 accommodate you
now come to our needy assistance, and
receive the blessings that only a poor,
/ oppressed newspaper man can bestow."

handsome January number. One can de
