foram a gaping choir to be in attendance
. at the' Methodist church every Sabbath,
,particularly,, in fine weather, to• shire at
the young ldies as they enter, and make
delicate I and gentlemanly remarks on
their dress, person and behavior. Who-
ever wishes to join said regiment will at-
. tend at the market square on Saturday
evening, where they will be duly examin-

-- that of a well-bred monkey.
