THE EDIIoIt’rf APOLOGY.
We apologize for mistakes made
in all former is-ucs and say* they
were inexcusable, as all an eji'or
has to do is to limit news, and clean
tho rollers, and set type, and sweep
the floor, and pen short items, and
fold papers, and write wrappers,
and make the paste, and mail the
papers, and talk to visitors, and dis
tribute typo, and carry water, and
saw wood, and read the proofs, and
correct the mistakes, and hunt the
shears to write editorials, and dodge
the bills, and dun tho delinquents,
and take cusslngs fiom the whole
force, and tell our tul scribe: b that
we need money.
We say that we’ve no business to
make mistakes wbilo attending to
these little matters, and getting our
living on gopher tail soup flavored
with imagination, and wearing old
shoes and no collar, and a patch on
our pants, obliged to turn a smiling
countenance to the man who tells
us our paper isn’t worth $1 anyhow,
that he could make a better
one with bis eyes shut.—Exchange

several fine pieces, among them was
“Shaimts O’Brien” which was high

laughter caused by “Dai bins family”

Saturday morning 1 joined at

each armed him and herself with
pole, line and hook and made a raid
on the mumows and crawfish. At
1 o’clock each appetite sounded its
dinner bell, and wending our way to
the wagon a dinner just “too too’’
was immensely enjoyed, and a little
skirmishing resulted, but no ragular
engagement was brought about, (at

ner a little more fishing, and an in

was 290 minnows and 79 crawfish,
