fiat, 75 feet long, 20 feet wide and

Bull Nuisance.
There is scarcely a day in tho year
not
one or
more
in

yokes of oxen tied to the racks
Dublin, and at this season tho town
is alive with therm These oxen are
in constant danger of being injured
or made to break loose by two
three bulls that are habitually bol
lowing around town. They arc
nuisance and the council should
should have it abated.
Masters Braxton and Chappell
Beitclmm arc keeping bachelor’s hall
in the new house in Dublin, recently
built by their mother, doing their

the Dublin Academy. Such an eco

able, and in that sign they will surely
make men. Some of Goorgir.’s most
distinguished sons obtuiued their
education in a similar manner.
The Wilkinson Appeal is out in a
long talk with its delinquent subscri
bers. It seems that some of the said

qnent duns fulminated against their
persistent delinquency, and hud paid
up and quit with a grand flourish of
trumpets. The Appeal explains the
folly of such a course, and tells them
that, it, meant no offence, hut adds
with frankness and much good sense
that it, prefers subscribers who pay
up and quit to those who continue
taking the paper and never pay
The Post is of the same way of
thinking.
River Improvements.
We had a long and pleasant talk
last Monday with Capt. Singleton
who has charge temporarily of tho
work on our river. He tells us he
has put the river in a condition
to take the Colville through to
the Railroad on two feet less water
than when ho commenced work
few weeks ago. He thinks it per
fectly practicable to make the river
navigable at all seasons. The trou
ble at the shoals he considers amounts
to but little. A little dynamite will
easily remove the difficulty there.
The tug of war is with the logs.
A Joke Carried Out.
An amusing incident occurred at
the last election in Montgomery
county. Dr. 0. Hicks, in order
merely to have a good-humored word
with the numerous candidates whose
attentions had to be met, told them
each and all that he would vote for
no man for any office that did not
support him for Coroner. The can
didates said nothing to the Doctor
abont their intentions, but passed
round the wink, and when the votes
were counted out Dr. Hicks was
found to have been elected Coroner
by the unanimous vote of the coun-
To carry out the joke and not
to be set back, ho has mudo his bond
