The Result of Stopping a Paper.

A certain man got mad at the editor and stopped his paper. The next week he sojd his corn at soar cents below the market price; then his property was sold for taxes because he didn’t read the sherif’s sales; he lost $lO betting on Mollie McCarthy ten dayß after Ten Broeck had won the race; he was arrested and fined eight dollars for hunting on Sunday, simply because he didn’t know it was Sunday; and he paid S3OO for a lot of forged notes that had been advertised two weeks, and the public oautioned not to negotiate them. He then paid a big Irishman with a foot like a derrick to kick him all the way to the newspaper office, where h paid four years subscription in advance, and made the editor sign an agreement to knock him down and rob him, if he ever ordered his prper stopped again.
