A pretty reception was rendered Mr..

last Saturday pirht in honor OF Mr..
Dickerson's nomination for Lieutenant
Governor. 1t was nonpolitical and re-
pubhcans and democrats alike epoke in
praise OF Mr.. Oickerson as a citizen and
as a man. About 9 o'clock a committee
consisting Of W. B. Root. John Harville
aud Allen c, Bragg was appointed to
go to MIR. and Mn. Dirkerson's resi.
dencv on Garden street, and say to

no feel fattered by such a reception Of

more the position he occupied before

than it was to him as an Individual, but
all the same he appreciated most highly

deafening round OF applause.

Emhnw 4 Cnllege Or A Cat.

That the proposition to "endow a

throat prevented her from eating. In
her case there was no objection to the
~euthannaia which is proposed for the
hopeiessly i'll, and by DR.. Osler for men

Pinkey is described as the richest
cat in the world, but in fact was only
ono OF two. Blackie, her companion,
Was equally well Off and iuherits her

fifteen years ago by Benjamin +. Dill.

A nurse has taken care Of them,
II they have slept in soft beds

Whether these rich cats were happier

made by the republicans IN the present
campaign for congress to impress the
