we're transposed and tricks of varying
brilliancy were played.
In the residence portion OF the city
the usual number Of gates were carried
off and outhouses over turned, which
seems TO be the limit OF invention for
most Of the prank-players.

was hoisted and fastened up in tree, a
position in which no well-conducted
buggy is ever supposed to find itself.
