The last meeting of the Polecat Literary Club to discuss the proposition that "The fiddle produces finer music than the violin," wag a brilliant red-letter day in the history of the Corners. The popular Nickel Zwei Beer was acrimoniously chosen president pro tern. Each speaker hud either a fiddle or a violin. Father Hubburd, as chief disputant on the atlirma'ive, commenced his argument with the execution of the "Wacht am Khein" on his five-s'ring fiddle. Nickel slummed his left hum on the table and shouted, "Call dut gentleman mit order!' Hubbard stopped and asked, "What's wrong, Dutchy?" "Vy, die 'Wacht am Rh in' ish so? ' President Nickel pro duced a fiddle-violin made of a leminine wooden shoe and begun to saw his way through a waltz. "Cull the president to order," cried Pickles Sniggles. Nickel did not listen but kept on. Everybody got mud and the ladies became hysterical. 'Dutchy has one of his crazy spells," said my brother John, and went up to him to jerk him down into his seat. Nickel de fended himself by smashing his instru ment over John's head, who fell like a calf with a bleeding sculp. In a second everything was in a tumult and we had the liveliest debate yon ever saw until Tony Hops shot out the lights. Bloody noses and black eyes were as plentiful as the most exacting critic of a rough-and-tumble debute could ask, and every one went home happy with the thought that the evening had been spent peaceably and profitably. The feast of reason ami flow of soul closed with a selection by the Sniggles fiddle quartette, and a song and war dance by Nickel Z. Beer.

Bubbeil has gone gunning for the guilty pair "The Wild Cat" will soon cast the rays of its intellectual freaks over the benighted world. Its great mission will be to proclaim to the public and others tho advantages the Corners offers to men of push and grit who are ever ready to give or take either a thump or a dumpling. The Oat will be printed on a cider pregg. A little sugar in mine, please. A tripple wedding bee is on the tapis for Christmas eve. The brides expect their sun-down red gowns by the next balloon express. The happy swains will appear in the newest style of evening jumpers and overalls en truine with corncob mere shams to match. Rumors are out. Father Hubbard hug instituted a divorce suit against his spouse. Accord ing to the complaint filed at Salem where he ought to be he accuses her of cold feet and other cruel ties. Mother Hubbard has the unanimous sympathy of the Oorncrs. My brother John has a blue boil on his left ear. That's what he got for tak ing the rubber out of his neck 10 tie up his dog with. Now his neck is so stiff he can't wink. Serves 'im right, by gum. Old man Sniggles has lost his kneecap; suitable reward will be aiven to the finder, Another pall of gloom has fallen over this community. ' Tom . Tumbledown and his wife have had a scrap and only married a week. They were at break last Sunday, morning and Mrs. T. had spread herself on' the biscuits.
