dweller of the city, who was
supposed to be-and ought to be-a
Sabbath observing person, went ber
rying on Sunday. He had the
hardihood to bring the fruits of his
Sabbath breaking to the Journal Office

have been overlooked had he brought
along, also, sugar and cream for the
garnishing of the berries, which are
