JOHN McCARTHY.

! Thp gentleman, whilom editor of the £ta. nner ' afterward postmaster at this place, recently has removed to Delphi. No public iinnouncetijent ol his business there had ever’ been to our knowledge, until the publication of the follow complimentary tjotiee jn the last Delphi Journal, from which iL appears that he is keeping up the reputation he gained in this comm unity: “We have read John McCarthy’s report of the Republican meeting at JRockfield, as published in the last Times. His report curifiTms'cme fact only, and that r.'as as to his inquiry and information as to who Mr. Gould was. AB the rest wiis apoehryphal. But then J lin didn’t mean any harm by it. ‘There is no malice in your soul,’ is there, John? You intended to report so that noli dy would he so- 1 enough to believe you, didn’t you, John? YVelI, you succeeded w>-l I, John. You are a farmer, ain’t you, John? You have read ‘Sinbad the Sailor,’ and ‘Biron Munchausen,’ hadn’t you, John? Wouldn’t you like to he a Baron—a real live Baron Muncliauson! ' Ah! we know you would, you rogu Well, John, you used to be one of them fellows that the Times calls Tories and British YY bigs, didn’t [you? Then yon turned to be an Old-liner, i didn’t you, John ! Now you nre ‘ Conservative,’ ain't you, John, very?. YVhat are you going to be.jnext year, John? YV-ill, John, we are going to have another meeting next Saturday in Jefferson, and we wun’t you to be over there with us and report. It you can get the report ready by adjourning time, it would he a good idea to read it, as the last exercise; but if you can’t John, perhaps you can finish it next Sunday at the Recorder’s office. Come to our next meeting, John, and if you won’t report lor us, report for the Times. If anybody don’t appreciate that report of yours, John, you shouldn’t care a bit; it’s only because they never read ‘Gulliver’s Travels,’ and have dull imaginations. ‘Good bye, John.’ ”
