Why Don’t You Name Him ?

Monon News. one of Rensselaer’s smart alecks dropped into our city, and attempted to show off. He smelt a beer bottle cork, and some one hit him with a sour apple, and then he 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 bolts of calico which were displayed in front of one of the stores, and throwed them on the walk. The marshal caught him just as he was getting on the evening train to go to the world’s fair at Francesville. 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 marshal is not to be monkeyed with.
