Will you please j inform a sufferer by tbe explosion of the powder magazines on Arsenal hill, now far the city council ia liable to be used for damages iu ca?e auch a catastrophe should again occur, the new mannzmea being legated in City creek near the flour mill, a short dieUuce irom the centre of the city, il you can inform me you will much; oblige A Small Potato, i The chances are that the city cao-not cao-not be held responsible for any explosion explo-sion which might occur. If the city coul-i compel them to be moved out of the city limits, it would, ol course be desirable, our experience in this matter niaktug them anything but desirable neighbors.

Pei mit me to tirowl. I have not been scrubbed by the bending foliage ol the umbrageous umbrage-ous locust. The papers come regu Urly (from my neighbor's box) every morning. My mother-in-Uw has not been to viait me since conference; the red-headed editor baa not bowed to ld8 of late nor is it a nocturnal Tomcat that lieu at the bottom ol my urief Liatl I am a young man of ttteady habits, and early hours but o matter how early in the morning I come home, there is a young fellow wno comes noine every morning jusi atierward with a young girl who lives next door, and as the loving couple dure not bang on the parental gate inge and murmur their mutual vowa of constancy and spruce gum, they utilize our pickets for that pur- poee to the banishment of tired nature's sweet restorer and the in- finite disguBt of all the inhabitants ot the immediate neighborhood. What can be done tr-at will afford speedy relief? I bavo a shotgun which naa neen loadt-d ever since last 4ih of July, or I could stick spikes on the leuce, but I am anxious that all pacific measures should be tried erB I rush into extremes.

There are several remedies for this complaint and among others we recommend that "Apollo" prevail on nis male tormentor to fire ofl the guu I which he says baa been loaded since last 4th of July. If this does not effect a permanent cure, it wilt sd fix the young gentleman that our corres ! pnndent will have a few days in which to recuperate. Or ho might take down the fence. If neither of these plans is practicable we suggest, us an infallible remedy, that he have the agrieving couple arrested and pun- 1 lsbed under the ordinance relative to cruelty to animals. |
