SHARP SHOOTING,—Some young lady at Bloomington has sent Carlton, the editor of the News Letter, a "Sugar Teat" recommending him to use it, as she would judge from his crossness that he was either weaned too soon or inthewrongtimeofthemoon! Carlton replies that he knows the lady who sent him the letter accompanying the "Teat," and says she ought to know something of the subject of weaning as she commenced learning before most of ladies deem it altogether prudent! Carlton, fight the Know Nothings, but for your own sake let the women alone, if you ever wish to join in the bonds of wedlock.
