to him who waits, but the OPP
portunity is now passing, why
not grasp it!

we see the time has come for a
leg-pulling.
-Messrs. Decheux, Nicholas
and Rose, of.Harrisonburg, Va,
were here a few days ago, look
ing for location. We welcome
these gentlemen to our city.

fight the latter part of next
month. Two pugilist came
near braking our stovelifter last

numbers of others, as regards
their health ETC., we propose
20 throw in some music TO r..
vive their dropping spirits, and
we trust they will listen to the
strains and not become offended
