Doubtless, prompted by a feeling of
selfishness, and enmity toward those
who may choose to furnish items to
outside papers, a local print in last
week's issue refers, presumably, to your
bumble seribe in a childish way, accus-
ing us in, our squibs, of depreciating the
town. The editor is under a wrong im
presaion. The editor need not imagine
that because ontsicle newspapers con-
tain interesting, and important items a
week previous so their appearing in his
paper, that the town is being belittled;
it must be ye editor who suffers.
On the night of the 13th, or the

$130. Cards were sent out warning the

Too MUCH TODDY.—A most amusing
occurrence transpired here last week.
A gentleman from the Scott Act county
of Huron, who has been working here
for some time had oecasion to go home
a few days since. Wishing to return to
work here, as soon as possible, he en.
gaged it rig and driver to bring him
hither.They arrived here about noon.
After dinner the mechanic, instructing
the driver to start for home, went to
work. When he returned to the hotel
in the evening he found that the driver
had been indulging rather freely during
the afternoon, and was still in town.
The horse was got ready and driver
placed in the rig and started off' He
had not gone far when the horse, buggy
and driver, et al went over a steep bluff.
The buggy was cohsiderably smashed,
but the driver end horse escaped with a
few marks. The outfit was returned to
the hotel stable, the buggy repaired,
and next mornitig the Mechanic owing
to his coachman not having recovered
trent the debauch was compelled to
drive him borne a distance or some
twenty miles.
