For some time past several of our cor- respondents have been using Jonas Boyd’s name pretty freely and geting off a good many jokes at his expense.

While nothing has been published that would in any way be an injury to Mr. Boyd, we nevertheless do not want his name to appear in any correspondence whatever, even if it has onlv been used in a few harmless jokes. We aim to pub- lish nothing that will give offense to any- one, and as we stated last week, we will publish nothing that we have reason to believe will incur any person’s ill will.

The Doctor's ponies became frightened, and making a sudden turn upset the huggv, throwing him and a gentleman who was with him ont. The Doctor was dragged about ten rods and he received sone ugly cuts about the face. The sudden turning of the team averted a horrible accident, as oth- erwise the train would probably have struck the buggy and killed its occupants. —Somerset Standard.
