for His Horse.
1y To prove what he says, we think
,u that the discOverer of the South Pole
10 must have brought back with him a
q shiplOad of air. and by the way it feels
now we wonder if he did not bring back
!. the pole itself.
! The birds at early dawn are continu-
Il ously proclaiming the coming of Spring.
S If these little feathery creatures have
c patience, then must not we?
t As we were travelling on the public road
I between the Oysters Rocks and Hackley
Barney last Thursday morning, we saw
n in the road ahead of us two wagons and
q group of eight men, who, it seemed,
were fighting. On approaching we were
not long in perceiving that they were
ir a state of intoXicatiOn, and that one
of the members was in such a predca-
n ment as to give the lesser intoxicated
? ones trouble by desiring to remain
behind. This brought on quarrel which
resulted in a few blackened faces, and
one or two having the trouble of help
ing himself back to his feet again. We
afterward learned that they were from
StOckley, on their way to procure oy-
sters from the Broadkln, and that this
and similar scenes were common occur
rences at other places on the road.
g Now this was a very disgusting and
unusual sight to the human eye of this
f. section, and we 90 not consider that
such men are worthy to be called Am !
erican citizens. We do not wonder that |
the foreigner, seeing such people, asks |
with puzzled exclamation, BE this an
: American, the foremost of all human |
mankind, whom We are taught to re-
spect. "

One of our young men, after being
dressed last Saturday evening, went out
to hitch up his horse to go to see his lady
friend. Just as he was in the act of
4 throwing the harness on the horse, the
| horse jumped for a run and ran for about
a mile across a muddy field. The young
2 man went in the house and got lantern
and went to search for the horse it is
said that in crossing the field which was
shoe deep in mud, he forgot all about
his lady friend Il don't know what he
