RENSSELAER LAD RUNS AMUCK.

Monon News: Tuesday afternoon one of Rensselaer’s smart alecks droppetl into our city and attempted to show off. He smelt a beer bottle cork and some one hit him with a sour apple and he then started out to have a time. He resorted to a little “guying” but being adjudged a little weak in the upper story no one expostulated with him. He finally wound up his day’s doings by unrolling some biota of calico which were displayed in front of one of the stores and throwed them on the walk. The marshal oaught him just as he was getting on the evening train to go to the world’s fair at Francisville. He was brought up before Squire Jones and his fun cost him $4.50. We truly sympathize with our neighboring town for containing such specimens of puppyism, but when they come to a town where people are civilized they must take the consequences and our marshel is not to be mqnkeyed with.
