The challenge Of Mr.. c. II. Nelson of
Watrville offering to trot his colts against
those got by the stallion Broadway. owned
by Mr. A. Y. Gerald Of Fairfield, has not as

have good colts and both have faith in their
stock. For these reasons the friends of
each wait the tinsl arrar Kements, for when
these colts came together for a matched d

ing brought to an end before the close of this

OOZY-HEADED PEOPLE.

Beware Of Persons Between Whose Esrs
and Mouth There IL No Partition.
You would not pour precious wine into
sieve, yet that were as wise as to make q
confidant of one Of those ''leaky vessels'' Of
society that, like corporation water-carts,
seem to have been made for the express
purpose Of letting out what they take In.
There is this difference, however, says the
New York Ledger, between the perforated
puncheon and the lea,ky brain-the former
fats the dust and the latter is pretty sure to
raise dust.
Beware Of oozy-headed people, between
whose ears and mouth there is no partition.
Before you make bosom friend Of any man
ne sure that he Is secrettight. The mischief
mat the non-retentives do is infinite. In
war they often mar the best-laid schemes
ana render futile the most profound STRAIT
egy. In social life they sometimes set
wnoie communities by the ears, frequently
oreak up families and are the cause Of In
aumeraole misfortunes, miseries and
slames. In business they spoil many q
Ss9mlsing speculation and involve hundreds
osnkruptey and rum. Therefore, be very
U0i TO whom you irtrust information Of
