Goliy sneeZers!
sGninevere', wrote something about our
being in the galaxy of journalism -
Pretty big words they are, aud we don't
know as we can tell what they mean, but
if she means that our Bitter self is getting
among the gals in journalism, We can
form some faint idea of what is meant,
For | really do believe
That fair sister Eve
And that writer around here,
Who signs herself 'Guinevere,n
VIII quarrel by quill
As to who is "Bitter Pill
There was another wedding IN town on
Monday afternoon.
Richard Goslin's horse did two Sudden
things on Friday last. First he suddenly
stopped, second he suddenly started and
then did not stop as soon nor in as becom-
ing A manner as he should have done.
Four men were in the wagon and were
thrown out and the vehicle was appended.
The horse ran away aud completely de-
moiished the wagon. Mr.. Goslin and ii.
Y. Foster were considerable bruised. 1t
is fortunate that the men were not Instant
ly killed. The horse is not a vicious ami
NAL, but after he got started once he did
not care to stop again, Geeming it a little
too much trouble. as we suppose.
The Gray Bros. have had a very sick
COW. but she is said to be improving un-
der treatment by Senator Wordell.
No doubt the COW will get well,
Doctored by Mr.. Wordell.
For the boys can just bet,
That the Senator is q grand old vet
The shower that passed over this region
last Friday afternoon brought with il
some very heavy thunder and sharp light
ming. The house of a Mr.. WenIzell, in
Pittsgrove, was struck and considerably
burned. A tbunderbolt also passed
through the house of John Johnson, near
YORKTOWN, doing slight damage. We
are glad that the damage was no worse,
but in general we believe that the rain was
rather more appreciated that its accom-
paniment of wind, thunder and lightning.
We have been asked to give our views
upon the breeding and Development of the
trotting horse. We had not supposed
ourself much authority on that pint
and an opinion offered without the indi-
vidual being posted is vaiIeless. A partic-
ular friend of ours got 10 to ride with us
one day and the compliment paid upon
our ssbiood'' was this, that he had just had
the slowest ride he had ever taken in his
life. and that our particular Maud S. could

line from Daletown 10 Ncodstown than
any horse within his knowledge. With
these facts before us We think VIC shan't
venture any opinions upon fiees-footed
roadsters. We might add, however, that
If we had a trotter we believe W wouldn't
know what to do with it. Probably all
things considered from a money stand
point the best thing 10 do would be to
knock itin the head.
A highly respectable gentleman living
near this place and who IS accustomed to
wearing suits in black, one day recently
concluded to make a change. and all un-
known to his wife purchased a very iignf
suit. On returning home his good wife
| espied HIM a little way down the road and
exclaimed, as she saw the new light suit,
well, / declare, if pap hain't been to the
mill. and why didn't he tell me, for | am
| all out of chicken feed. Pap" thinks
he has a pretty good joke on ''raother.
s.Gniuevsre'' makes a charge
That our parrot story was rather large.
Now we didn't mean from her story
To detract any Of its glory;
We did think the arrot story Inaugural
Not only large but a little questionable.
We did not mean TO be super-hyperbolical,
So framed the thing-parrot story fashion
able.
Miss Fannie Ewing is now one OF Dare

We noticed Deacon Hitchner in town
the other day. He must have been IN a
