We are sorry that in justice to ourselves we
ire at last compelled t pass notice on a pur
ported correspondent from Pleasant Hill who
writes over the expressive name of "Gossip
)er. Although we see no nam he should not
shorten his pseudonym so as to expre-S ap
tiearsnoes as well as character something like
'Gosling," or "Greeny Goshen." Of course,
many of his vagaries and poetical effusions may
be aooounted for by the epproaching change
In His condition of life of which his trading
his dog cart for a family carriage is an index,
Vet no charity will suffer us to pass over in
ilenoe the aspersions and vile insinuations
Which he has heaped against certain Trent
correepsndents. As for morals we believe his
hind sunning has only stained his own hands
without spotting honest, genuine, local corres
pondents. In conclusion permit us to say,
Mr R, please pull down your vest aud give us
rest, Gcem Who.

were digging a sewer hole in the rear of Mr
Samuel Swift's residence last Thursday after
noon, they came upon a box chisely nailed, sn I
ut onue it ruu through their mind probably a

knocked the top of it off, when to their surprise
and consternation, instead of a large amounted
money they liebeld a well preserved human
skeleton. After due consideration the bone
were again placed in the box and rehuried. The
skeleton is generally believed to be that of a
man who a number of yean ago handed him
