Tbe students of tbewriting sobool, under tbe supervision of Professor Ttibbe, ar making rapid progress In tbe Speocerian art. Our fellow townsman, Mr. H. Knicker bocker, I am very aorry to lay has beeo afflicted for tbe pait lew dayi with an at lack ol Erysipelas, but we are happy to learn tbat Mr. K. ii now coovale'cant, and strong hopes are entertained cf bis speedy recovery. It appears as if Mr. K. bad been born under an anlucky star. lie will be remembered aa Iba man, wbo laat fall, made a very unsacoessful attempt to pasa through tba shalt of a bull wheel, and tbe conse quent Injuries, resulting from laid attempt, made him a cripple lor a long time. We hope tbat Dame Fortune will yet em He on Mr. K. fur be Is a right jolly good fellow, and the boys all like "Uarve." Three of the viotimsof "not wisely but too wellpresidents of your town, called on our "iportt" one day last week, and creat ed tbe usual ezoilemeot in mob cases, after a drive around tbe Public Squaie, they come to a halt in froot of a "Sample Room." After receiving oongrattilatiooa Irom tbeir many friend, tbey renewed tbeir spiritual strength with some of 'Billy's" best, aod went oo their way tejoiciog. Our town ii blessed, or rather cursed, witb a few first clasa "Buzzers," mea wbo get lull of wbisky aod business at tbe same lima. Wa believe tbat nothing was lu vain, nd that tbeie mea. might be mada instru mental lo accomplishing a greut deal el good. We are opposed to the barbarous custom of banging mea for murder, and we think If tbe legislature of tbe State would repeal that law, aud institute lo iia stead a punishment more horrible in eadure, that that It would have a good jnoral Influence on society. Tbe punishment we propose is to confine tbe convict la a data Cell witb a sufficient number of tbese"Btiurs" to pro duce death at any ipecilied time. As re gards tbe time necessary to produce death in this manner, men differ In opinion. For instance, 11 r. A. saya, Ibai a man cf.j or dluary constitution could endure it for (4S) hours; Mr. D. thinks be could bring aliom tbe necea-ary result lu (30) hours; Unci Billy aayl, if bil cigar would only bold lire, that be could accomplish it in just hours 66 minutes and 11 seconds. If the legislature should make tba cbaiwe we si p pose several of our towoitoeu, no doubt, would be at once tbrown into a good situa tion. Cleaver, No. 1. A. 0. L. W.
