A Queer Town.

A communication received from Aque- tong. Pa. reached the nosegay editor of The Philadelphia Record the other day. containing a rather curious bit of infor- nation, in reference to a town in Bucks County, which consists of twenty-six houses, with population of fifty. There are. in the first place. twelve old maids. There were fifteen, but three died during the past year. The total number of wid- ows is seven, and there are six single men among the householders. three being bachelors and three widowers. Four houses are unoccupied, and five are ten anted by married couples with children. The correspondent doesn't name the town, and while the communication bears the postmark of Aquetong, it is dated Lahas- ka. 50 the intelligent reader can pay his money and take his choice The writer of the letter adds. naively: If you know of any town to equal this I would be pleased to read about it." Here's a chance for residents of queer communities to spread themselves.
