Caret Initio et Fine.

(Which is some more Latin.) Charley Hathaway ••eturned last Saturday night with a bran new wife. Corkins still tells his snake story occasionally, and he is getting to believe it himself. , “John Syler’ ‘ has had a severe attack of the mully-grubs, hence the last two issues of the Record were minus his bow. Some of the fest stock of Remington have gone to the races at Templeton to show the the Benton county chaps how to make the mile in 7; 49. The Pan Handle base ball club, of Monticello, took the wind out of the sails of the White Stockings, of Remington, last Thursday—3B to 29. There are about eighteen hunters and eleven dogs to every prairie chicken in this end of the couhty. The worst of the joke is that the chickens are noun of them Demo crats; they can all read, and they hunt around fora farm where haDgs the sign: “No Shooting Allowed on this Farm,” and there they sit and pick their teeth while they sing : “There is no use knocking at the Door,” and watch the dogs with their hunters, sitting on a rock, outside, eating beer and drinking “Swibser Ease.” “Oh 1 A Hunters Life is the Life for me.” “Shellßark” got himself into trouble writing for the Record. He couldn’t let folks alone. Whenever he saw a man running around minding everybody else’s business but his own he must characterize that man as a jack--knife carpenter and log-house joiner, and accuse him of lacking in courage. “Shell Bark” wont do so any'more, for one day on the fair ground, this same! man, whom he had slaßderedso outrageously, went (or him, and then you onght to have seen “S. B.’’ shake, and tremblej and beg. I tell you the miserable hound 1 bought his time had come. G'O d enough for him. He is always pitching into sombedy—bach-biting and crossfiring. W'hy can’t he let folks alone? Suppose a man does try help his neighbors adjust their little difficulties by mobbing, hanging, replevying, &c., etc., is it any of “Shell Bark’s” business? Nay verily? Is it a fact tbat those five R asons who went to Rensselaer, last Wednesday night, 'from Remington, got on a big drunk while there? “Shell Bara’s” “j. k. c.’* and “1. h.j.” would like to know. Spitz. (We have made some inqury in regard to the five gentlemen referred to aud find they were duly soboi while in Rensselaer— Ed.)
