Them,s Our Sentiments,

A Boston correspondent the New
York Sun writing of his old home
country paper says
SWELL. you may poke fun at the
country weekly as you will, but I fail
to see why the fact that "a resident of
Unionville has lately bought the place
of another resident of Unionville, and
intends to move into it., may not be as
well worth chronicling in the local
paper of Unionville as the fact that a
dog of q famous actress that died on the
steamer is worth two-column pictures
and half-column description in city
dailies. Blamed if / can see much
difference in merit between a poodle
dog editorial in a city daily and big
cabbage just laid on the desk of the
editor of country weekly.
