Marbleheaa,s Bad Boys.

1t seems that Marblehead boys have the
reputation of being the worst in the state,
and worthy minister who went there to
fill vacant pulpit one Sunday had occa-
sion to verify The truth of this, for on his
way to church he was numerically hoOted
and stoned. Filled with righteous indig-
nation, the worthy divine remarked from
the pulpit in mournful tones upon the de-
pravity manifested by the old towns boys.
Some time later he again visited the place,
and this til q he met with no insults and
did not even see single hoodlum on his
churchyard walk Being a just man, he
desired to praise as well as blame, and so
he said that he was truly rejoiced to see
that the yo' tn had seen the error Of their
ways and h. turned aside from the path
of the evilt 5. Thereupon arose II small
boy in the .lery, who shrieked forth in
gleeful MAJ entity; Don't you believe it,
They've just gone down TO Barnegat to
stone funeral, and when they come back
