DID NOT ENJOY THE SERENADE.

DID NOT ENJOY THE SERENADE.
 One of our prominent citizens had a disagreeable as we'll as laughable ex- perlence one night last week, when the air was balmy and the snow soft and sluShy. One of the cat family thought they would entertain the gen tleman with Serenade which evident ly was not appreciated for the gentle man in question, who arose from his bed and armed with stick of wood went to the door to give the serenader a polite invitation to move on. The gentleman stepped out on to the porch to get better aim at the cats when his feet slipped from under him and he fell flat in his night clothes in nice, soft and slushy place in the snow. When he got up how provoking to find hls catship still complacently sitting there looking at him. Our gentleman returned to the house, conc! uding the battle was over.
