NO. 95. — A MIXED PUZZLE. 11 Mr. Five-quarter Wood : Sir —Your who, which and that came to see me the other day, when the most extraordinary word connecting sentences of circumstances took place. But I must recount the facts in order that you may see the position without magnitude of my story. They had brought with them a most beautiful twenty-one shillings hen, intended as a gift for a neighbor. During the night it escaped into the public twelve ounces , where had been left some poisoned thirds of an inch, with which to kill rats, at which it immediately began to eight quarts away as fast as it could. Asa matter of course, a . was put to its existence. They were much alarmed when they found it gone, and even made no twenty grains to hint that a distinguished ex iled Five and a half yards, who was staying at my house, knew about it. Os course I was shocked at so twelve dozen an insult to my friend. It in censed me to that three hundred and sixtieth part of a circle that I thought under the circumstances it would not be too forty square poles to order them to leave my house. Why, they might as well have accused me of being in three miles with a rogue. Happily, however, the keeper of the twenty shillings, who is a leader of the twenty four sheets of this village, found the body, brought it to my house, the whole matter. Your who, which and that apologized to me, and the Five and a half yards. We smoked two hogs heads of tobacco apiece, and happiness was once more restored. I am very well with the excep tion of four roods in my lower jaw. Business is good. The tenth part of a cent here is running again, and every four inches is again employed.
