we THOUGHT IT WAS 4 PART OF
CoxEY's ARyY.-Un Monday evening
q wagon train came into toWh, ana
from its general appearance it sug-
rested Co1ey's army. There were
twenty-five mules, some six or eight
wagons and perhaps as many men.
They filed into Hail & CraWfero'S 5
stable and r::s up for the night. They
did rot strike camp, and We knew
then that it was not Coxey's army
We learned afterwards that this was
the railroad outfit belonging 10 ihe
late r. r. Halliburton, and was on
their way TO Chester. They had ceci'
ct work on new railroad in Orange

Edinburgh, where they teach the young
doctors. There's a place called Surgeon
Square that could tell many tale of
horror, for It's all composed OF anatom-

laddie belonging TO this town that went
to Edinburgh and became an artist. A
son OF Thomas Porteous, the bdker-a
fine laddie he was. but he did not live 10

Well, I've heard the Gallant my III tell

Surgeon Square among the doctors There
was lecturer that wished to have some
paintings made OF I " beautiful cases

lucifers next day, and hands II to the
provost, who took him under strict
promise to keep all quiet for two or
three days.
Now, you must understand, next door
to the provost there was a man they
called Sanders Niven, that kept public
house, as quiet and decent a sort of
body as could be, with quarter boots
head, and the hair aye stroked smooth
over his brow. Sanders was taxman of
the customs of the burgh, and in that
way was we'll known to the provost
and the Council. His house was prin-
cipally for tradesmen: but there was
one good back room with a carpet in il,

three of the bursesses who might be

what does he devise but that he'll give
Sanders Niven a fright with the luci-
fers. Why, you know, Sanders had
never heard of lucifers all his days;
and l dare say II you had named them

them. he would have been just as wise
as before. So the provost asked Bailie

cordingly, by o'clock that night we
were most of US gathered round Sand

When Sanders brought in the jug and
glasses the provost asked him how he
did, and requested that he would come
in and sit down a while, which he
blithely consented to, and In five min
