Very true. The first number of the Remington Record has been recivcd. It is to be published every Friday, by Kitt & Clarke, who are the editors and proprietors. If each succeeding number is as well filled and as nicely printed as the one before us, we are pretty cei tain it will receive a liberal support at the’hands of the Befflingto&ians. A young Remington gentleman took a young lady a buggy-riding last Sunday afternoon. He drove the spanking bays up to tbe gate, alighted, and, in the hurry and excitement of the moment, neglected to make the s. b’s fast. which resulted in a little runaway; but he succeeded in spoiling a first-class item by climbing over the back part of the vehicle and getting a hold of tbe reins while the horses wove i>n a full gallop.
