OF this place, and the jurors which
| he ordered summoned could colleci
pay for their Services rendered on ac
count Of an inquest recently held by
them on the body Of an unknown man
who foated from Harrington to this
town and On examination was found
to be dead. II seems as though The
Squire went before the County Court
with his documents and that they did
NOT seem to take with the honorable
body which he said was sitting in
their Office with more Of an air Of
pleasure than business and that the
tale about a dead man did not seem
to take serious with them, much less
make the hair stand straight upon
their heads as he thought 1t would.
The squire did not expect anything
else hut a racket out of Buckley Elem
ing, the president Of the court, but
was much astonished at as sensible
looking men as Bill Cordray and Kale
Moore sanctioning everything Buckley
said either with a half awake nod or
pat with his foot.
The squire as well as the jury who
viewed and examined the remains Of
the floater also the constable, as well
as those who pulled him to shore, are
very anxious to know what course to
pursue should any Of Fairmont officers
come floating down the riyerdead and

OF course there is no danger Of
Buckley floating down as he lives be-
low us, but the squire as well as some
others think he is about contrary
enough to float up stream, so he had
better Join with the rest and help to
adjust the matter referred to, Sas de
lays are dangerous, for instance, once
upon time there was a very rich old
gentleman who had but one son, who
was very much devoted to his father,
who was the victim Of a very large
tumor somewhere on his anatomy.
The son thought that surgical oper-
alton would be in order and persuad-
ed the old man to submit to the same
thinking that It would be the death Of
his old dad and he would get his in
heritance. So he called in some emf
nent physicians and surgeons, but they
decided much against the youngsters
will and postponed the operation two
weeks, and what the result was should
be warning. The tumor grew SO
fast and big that the doctors thought
best to take the old man of of the
tumor. So delays are dangerous in
various ways and hint to the wise
should be sufficient. Rumor has it
that the old man got well.
Whoop 'em up, ha! ha! ha! All in
fun, but the County Court had better
pay for that inquest.
