The Abba Republican came to us
in a new dress last week, full of news
and advertisements, the result of a
new press, but Horace persists after
all the good we have said of him, in
joking about the Herald. He says the
natives were much surprised to find
an unopened key of beer in a sewer
and he thinks it would startle them
to find an unopened keg of beer any
where in Oskalo6sa, much less in a
sewer. This kind of talk might suit
Abba, but when it gets to the sacred
soil of Oskaloosa,- We say, halt!
