" EDITORIAL SQUIBS. We are often highly amused at the witty sayings of 6ur brethren of the Tress, who seem always ready with a pun or retort, on any and every subject of the day. Often when wearied with looking over our huge pile of exchanges, we find our very souls refreshed by a hearty lauh and we belong to that class of people who know just how to laugh caused by some editorial witicism. In the hope that we may cause a moment's pleasure to some wearied and worried fellow editor, we have clipped some of these "Squibs," and "let off" a few ot them occasionly in the News Letter until we "run out" of the supply unless a fresh assortment should arrive trom the same sources. For instances, an editor heads an item, "Another Editor Dead." In go our assistant editor, the scissors, to clip an item to be placed under its appropriate heading in the News Letter, when to our chagrin and ammuscmcnt we find 'tis Tbut a ioke. This is the item: "Wm. Fisk Esq., edit-

or of the jfress is aeaa. iur. r . was a, poet uui from some reason or other, did not like our views up on the merits of his poetry, and so cut us Irom his exchan"e list. We, however, continued to send him the Transcript and yesterday it was returned to this office marked, 'Send this paper to .' This was the first intimation we had ot Mr. F's death, and we suppose he left word with his son to send his exchanges to his new abode." Phanzy phriend Phisks pheelinks. Killing a man off in that way is too hard, but we can scarcely wonder at it if the poetry spoken of was anything like that received by an editor, who upon declining the same, remarks to the poet, "Your lines entitled 'Sympathy' are respectfully declined. The sentiment is excellent, but the rythm sounds like rolling frozen dumrjlins on a barn floor, and the measure is not what it should be." If a production answering the above description was really received, we can agree with Punch, who says, "The reason why editors are so apt to have their manners spoiled, is because they receive from one correspondent and another, such a vast amount of evil communications." But to find the happiest hits, and thrusts we turn to those which are written about the editor's unhappiness, for while "An editor in Iowa has become so hollow from depending upon the printing business alone for bread, that he proposes to sell himself for a stove pipe," another one, in a neighboring State, "Is so poor that he never stands upon more than one foot at a time, for fear that he may wear out his boots quick," and another in Minnesota "Threatens to break up house keeping, and go to boarding with his delinqueut subsribers." Next is one who says "To those who promised to pay their subscription in grain, that unless it is delivered before the first of Febuary, he will be compelled to receive old clothing in its stead," from which we may infer that anything is good enough for the printers. Upon the same subject anothe one says, "We've no turnips to mix with our potatoes. Don't bring us any more apples. We have for the present, quantum sufJicit, which means great slathers," while still another with his mind rather tending towards animal than vegetable food, informs his delinquent subscribers that "lie has responsibilities thrown upon him which he is obliged to meat" One editor announces that "The publication of liis paper will be suspended for six weeks, in order that he may visit St. Louis with a load of bear skins, hoop-poles, shingles, oak bark, pickled cat-fish, &c, which he h;id taken on subscriptions," while an able cotemporary "Issues half a sheet, and says if its subscribers don't pay up better, the editor will have to issue semi-monthly, monthly, or not at all." One who aspires to foreign correspondence but who was short of traveling funds, "Sat upon a saw-horse for an imaginary journey and wrote a letter home to his paper." But the most accomodating one is a Pennsylvania editor who says "He intends taking a tour through the country to visit his patrons and will be prepared to take in trade, wheat, oats, corn, pork, beef, buckwheat, apples, potatoes, chickens, turkies, pumpkins, butter, eggs, sour crout, horses, mules, wagons, calves, wheel barrows, harness, hoop-poles, lath, lime, apple butter, stocking yarn, hard soap, cider, dried apples, beans, turnips, wool, feathers, geese, ducks, dry goods, groceries, hardware, queensware, and ready made clothing, or any thing else eatable,at the current market value." One nearly as accomodating says "Although we prefer the money, yet those who cant pay it will please send us some of their old clothes, shanghai eggs, sour crout, rotton pine apple, &c, we will take anything in the world except a scolding wife or a dull razor" and then to sum up all these ills, some desponding quill driver must needs put into circulation the fact that "The tables of mortality show that the lives of editors, compared with other men, are compartively short. They wear out before their time," as if the only hope they have for a respite from their great troubles is an early release from them. Compliments are also sometime bestowed upon our friends which they hasten to give to the public. We have retained some, and those who recognize them as applicable to their own cases, can take them, and welcome. "A gentleman was promenading a fashionable street, with a bright little boy at bis side, when the youngster cried: 'O Pa, look! there goes an editor!' 'hush, hush 1 eaid the father ; 'don't make sport of the poor man. God only knows what you may come to yet'" It is too hard for parents to influence the minds of their offspring in such a manner. Even the colored race have no regard for the editor's feelings ; things have certainly come to a great pass. "An editor got shaved in a barbor shop lately, and offered the darkey a dime, which was refused, because, said he, 'I understand you is an editor!' 'Well what of that?' 'We never charge editors nuffin !' 'But such liberality will ruin you.' 'Oh, nebber mind, we makes it up off de gemmen"" Here is an other compliment "A horse dealer, describing a used-up-horse, said he looked as if he had been editing a daily newspaper." But the policeman who rescued from drowning a shaggy spaniel who had been in the brine some fifteen or twenty minutes, was more sarcastic He said of the grateful cur, as he wagged gracefully his caudal appendage, "He looks like the editor of a monthly magazine, trying to please everybody and just missing it." If these compliments are in any manner doubtful, here is one which does show meanness and no mistake. "The editor having lent Lis axe to one of his subscribers, the borrower unfortunately broke off the handle. On returning it, the man said, 'you can easily have it fixed.' 'Yes,' replied the editor, 'but that will cost at least a quarter of a dollar." 'Well,' rejoined the borrower, 'if you aint rather small for an editor. Here's the quarter; but I'll thank you to stop my paper at once.'" Such a subscriber must have belonged to that family mentioned by the editor who wants to know, whether "If the devil were to die, the newspapers wonld not eulogize his character. If they didn't the editors would be very likely to get unceremonious orders from some of the relatives of the disceased 'stop my paper.' " - ' - Perhaps the following "squib" may give some light upon the way of keeping up newspapers in some places. It is certainly a novel plan, to say nothing of its mstice Some of our friends may do well by urging the passage of a similar law. "Our paper has been unavoidably delayed, on account of the arduous duties devolving upon our hands. During the day they are busily engaged in sticking type. And when the mantle of darkness covers the face of nature, being anxious to do all the good they can in this world, by circulating the Visitor, they chase horses and cattle from the neighboring counties, into Warren, that our citizens may take them up as strays, and the law requires the notices to be published, we thus raise the 'Jeems' to buy paper and keep the Visitor going.1 . Editors may make good drovers, but they certainly do not succeed as gardeners, for one says that "A litte garden patch of his was very unprofitable last season. The snails ate up the cucumbers, the chickens ate up the snails, the neighbors' cats ate up the chickens, and we are now in search of something that will eat up the cats. Can any of our agricultural friends aid us ?" We suggest the maunufacture of catsup. We must not suppose that all editors are in trouble ; mark how this man talks evidently as happy as a king. "An exchange says that editors, are as a feneral thing, not overstocked with worldly goods, lumbug.' Here we are, editor of a country paper, fairly rolling in wealth. We have a good office, a .double barrelled rifle, seven suits of clothes, three kittens, a Newfoundland pup, two gold watches, thirteen day and two night shirts, carpets on our floor, a pretty wife, own one corner lot, have ninety-three cents in cash, are out of debt, and have no rich relations. If we are not wealthy it is a pity. Hurrah for hurrah ! Who cares for cash ?" This one in the "happy strain" corresponds with the one who wrote "It does an editor good to have his pride flattered once in a while. We realize the benefit of it once a year, when the asessor come round, ask how much money we have at interest; how much stock we have in the pubic funds

or in the banks, and various other questions that are supposed to be put only to the 'solid men.' If there be anybody about, we straighten up slightly, expand our corporosity, and in as heavy a chest tone as we can command, answer, 'About the same as last year.' They know well enough what that is. So do we." And so do we, at least we ought to, because we haven't been assessed these three years. But we must save some of our "Squibs" for next time, and close with this one by an unfortunate editor whose soul, devoid of all poetry and romance, could raise no higher than the paltry matters of dollars and cents. "He and his wife were walking out in the bright moonlight, one evening. The wife was of an exceedingly poetical nature, and said to her mate : 'Notice that moon; how bright, how calm, and beautiful!' 'Couldn't think of noticing it,' returned the editor, 'for anything less than the usual rates a dollar and fifty cents for twelve lines.' " '

- A PUZZLED YANKEE. ' BY PAUL LAURIE. One very pleasant day in July last, I was riding from St Paul towards Alton, I overtook a ' character' in the shape of a ' real live Yankee,' who, it appeared had nothing to recommend him save his own assurance; but of that there was no lack. As we caught each other's glance, I nodded slightly, my fresh acquaintance imitating a bow as he jerked out : ' Mornin,' mighty pleasant dry Square.' ' Yes, it is rather pleasant' . 1 Some of a horse, that o' yourn.' I did not reply, but instead scanned my neighbor's beast closely. His eye detected the scrutiny. ' I guess he'll do, wont he ?' ' 1 ' I should judge so,' I replied, no little amused at my fellow traveler's manner, 'I presume he belongs to you.' He puckered his lips, half closing his eyes at one side, as he managed to squeeze out ' Yes yes no 1" a long pause. ' Wall, stranger, I'll be hanged if I know who owns it,' and he made a sorry attempt to laugh. Evidently the man is poking fun at me, thought the reader's humble servant, but I could not forbear remarking aloud ' That is a little singular.' The giggle died away, the grimace left his face. Not ef vou knew the hull of it You are a new comer, I take it, stranger ?' ' No I am not. 1 answered, drily. ' No offence, Square ; come from the east ?" Yes.' My companion blew his nose vigorously, patted his horse on the neck, and placed a fresh quid of the weed between his lantern jaws. ' Wall ; about this hoss ; it is mine, and it ain't mine ; leastwise, I'm not sartin yit It would take a Philadelphia lawyer to decide on it ; that's even so ' And here my companion assumed a meditative manner, working his jaws freely. I deemed it best to give him his own time to explain himself. After riding a half a mile in silence, he broke out with ' Much acquainted hereabouts ?' ' Very slightly.' Praps you belong to St. Pater's river or to below.' I shook my head, and once more he came back to the ownership of the horse. ' Wall, about this yar hoss ; I'll bet you never heard of sich an idea as this hoss trade, but maybe you could guess where I come from ?' ' From Connecticut ?' ' No, from Vermont, I'm an out and out Yankee name's Treadwell p'raps you've heard of Governor Treadwell that used to be ; he's my father's uncle, you see. . borne how a poor cuss ham t no chances there at least I used to think so so one day I pulled up stakes and preambulated out here to Minnesota ; thought I'd make my fortin', sartin, and I mean to do it some day. xou see, major, when I came out to that place over there, (pointing significantly to St Paul) I hadn't more than shilling left ; the rascals almost took the clothes off my back. Now I don't mind telling you all about it, ' cause you don't know Jerusha nor the rest on em; xou see, afore I left home, I used to beau Jerusha round to parties considerably, just to keep my hand in, you know. Jerusha, she kinder got struck after me, but laws ! I wan't the least mite after her. I here was a pooty nice gal lived near her, called Susan I epperiU, and so I divided my attentions, acted unpartial, you understand ; but the first thing I knew, Jerusha moved away with her folks, and ef you believe it, stranger, that was the first time I ever knew Jerusha was worth a dollar. Come to find out, she owned five hundred. That riled me, and to aggravate it, Susan took up with another feller, and laughed in my face. So I never asked anything about Jerusha, but come out here. I jest worked here one month, when I met who do you suppose ?' 'Jerusha?' ' No 1 you're out ; 'twas her aunt an' laws ef we didn't laugh I Of course I had to go right along with her, and on the road I faund out that Jerusha's uncle owned three hundred acres with forty broke in. You'd orter se Jerusha smilin' at me. The old folks wanted me in the family right along, and I seen that they still kept drawing me on, sorter kinder. But Jerusha ain't no beauty, no how, an' she's pretty tart, two, so I didn' let on that I knew what they were up to, Jerusha ; she's cot a yoke of oxen, and cow, and two pair of ceese besides, the only geese in the Territory, and she las a hundred dollars laid away to buy another, so I con cluded U) marry her. ' Her an' the old folks heard me talk about lookin' over the country, an' so after a long talk, says she one rln.v. ' Sfpvc f Viivf. fines is wnrtb. n Vmnrlriail anii oiylitv dollars, cash, any day 1 now you wan't to look aSout you. Take the hoss, Steve, pack off to Stillwater, Prescott, Oceola, and them places, take yer time tew. The hoss is your'n to keep or swap, ef you mean what you'rabout; but mind, Steve, if you ownthe hoss, Town youT Her precizely identical language, Mr. , what may your name be ?" 1 ' Smith, John Smith.' ' Her exact words, Mr. Smith, an' ef I claim this, (patting his horse gently) Jerusha claims me, an' can prove it by the old folks, to say nothin' about a piece of paper 1 signed about this time yesterday ?' ' Well, of course, you'll marry her,' I ventured to remark, as I strove in vain to control my muscles.' ' Oh, sartinly, sartinly ! only I'll be hanged ef I know who'll own the hoss. Howsomever, I'll keep the critter, (that's your way, Mr. Smith ; good day I) I'm bound to keep the critter.' And Mr. Treadwel parted from me, muttering, PU keep the critter ! The Editor. The Richmond Mail throws off the following capital illustration ; "They have a steamboat on the Western waters by the name of The Editor. This is the very best name ever eiven to a steamboat. We are surprised that it has never been thought of before. The editor is a working engine whose fires are going by day and by night. Now he sails against the tide, now with it, going along at a dashing rate, until suddenly he comes up standing against some hidden snag, which entirely shivers his timbers to pieces. Whenever he moves he puts the water in agitation, and leaves a wake of troubled waters behind him, which lasts about five minutes. He serves everybody but himself carries freight and passengers in any quantity, and goes off puffpujfing down the stream of life. Often his powers are overtasked and the boiler bursts, but fortunately it kills no one but himself, and who cares for an editor?" . . JIigh Water is Lake Erie. A correspondent of The Painesville (Ohio) Telegraph states that Lake Erie is now higher by six feet than it was from the first settlement of the country in the year 1828, and that from the year 1832 to this day, the lake has been making constant inroads upon lands bordering thereon. Much loss of land has been sustained where farms are not protected by rock coast, of which there is comparatively little on the southern shore. The vriter attributes the uniform high stage ot water to the Black kock dam, though wet seasons ot course cause fluctua tions. A BUNDLE OF ALL SORTS. The four great evils of life are said to be standing collars, stove-pipe hats, tight boots and tobacco. The "Louisville Journal" ,wj-kedly says, that Cairo has more "floating population -than any town in Illinois. "Thanks V said an old bachelor, "no more women in heaven They can't get in their hoops are so broad they will have to go to the broad roadcan't get through the narrow gate."

HODACK'S t Iilood Furifier and Blood Fills. : DISEASE VANQUISHED By Dr. Itoback's Scandinavian Remedies. AFTER YEARS OF STUDY AND EXPERIMENT, DR. RO- ; RACK, the eminent Swedish Physician, succeeded in producing a medicine from twenty-three different mountain herbf of his native land, which acts directly upon the causes of disease in the blood, and by restoring the corrupted fountain of life, to a condition of health and purity, expels dis ease from the system, wherever it may be located, or whatever may be Its character. Indigestion, nervous complaints, epileptic and other fits, coughs, consumption in its early stages, sore throat, bronchitis, fever and ague, asthma, low spirits, sexual incapacity, femenine weakness, pricking of the akin, symptomatic of paralys, rheumatism neuralgia, tumor, cancer, diabetes, lassitude and debility, diarrhea, and all other disorders of the organs of respiration, the liver, the kidnev, the stomach, the nerves, or the muscular liber, are unerringly cured by this preparation. It isto the materies morbi, or seeds of disease, what an alkali is to an acid : it neutralizes them with absolute certainty, while at the same time it. regulates the secretions, removes obstructions from the bowels, creates appetite, renews bodily vigor.and regenerates every animal function. Such is the nature, such are the effects of Dr. Roback's famous Scandinavian Blood Purifier, which, if taken in conjunction with his Scandinavian Blood Pills, will not only ob literate tho most painful disease, but prevent their recurrence, and lengthen life bevnnd the ordinary span. In the SCANDINAVIAN VEGETABLE BLOOD PILLS, Dr. Roback prcsentsthe result of over twenty years of experience, hard study and experiment as to what a perfect pill should be. No one can doubt their superiority after one single trial.

Mr. McMdiikn, Pastor of Roberts Chapel :, -Indianapolis, Oct. 5, l8o'r. Dr. Roback Dear Sir : I have used your Blood Purifier for a nervous affer tion, rrnm which I have suffered much at times. While it is pleasant to the taste, it certainly has a happy effect upon the nerves. Please accept my thanks for Tour kind regards and believe me, Yours, J. W. T. "McMullen. Cincinnati, Friday, Rept. 4, 1857. Da. Robacr Dear Sir : Having been afflicted with neuralga; or rheumatism for the past year and a half, and having seen your medicine, called the Scandinavian Blood Purifier, highly recommended by gentlemen with whom I am acquainted. I was induced to try it, but not before I had used various other medicines. After using two bottles, I felt its effect very sensibly, and upon using two more, 1 found mvsclf perfectly cored.
