EDITOR:--I'm a kind of a fussy old fellow, and want things to salt me, and I'm a great hand to >eac| the cor­ respondence from the dltlerent towns. First: I want to know what's going on; who is dead; who l» married; who Is going to be mart led; whose new baby has come to town, and who Is burned out or come near it, and lots of thing*; but I don't think It's ju9f. the thing to be hinting at things and folks and promising "to let the cat out of the bag" about To n, Dick or Harry, when nobody away from that town knows who they are. For instance somebody migh^ sa^ "Dick, look out." Who is Dick, and what Is he to look out for? Who knows, or cares ? Then things happen, or are going to happen, that are prominent and no word Is mentioned about It. For Instance your Nunda correspondent--a good oue, too --gave a fine notice of t'ie doings of the "Woman's Relief Corps;" splendid. I enjoyed It ever so m.ich. T'len to begin with ths correspondent grew enthusiastic over the meetings at the Methodist church and the revival, and the converts, etc., etc., which was ex­ cellent and all right; but what a taut the Uulversalist meeting? arid what about the Universalist's Washington Birthday party f Has a correspondent a rl<ht to be partial? I don't thh k so. We have Methodist meetings here and revival services In that church, and we have Universalist meetings here and a largely revived Interest in that church, and our minister read a notice, all printed, of the Universalist's Wa?h. Ington Birthday party, at Nunda, and then we looked at the correspondence, and behold It was not there. Dumb as an oyster. O, now, come, let's have it all; and to pay these correspondents for lettlog everything out we'll tell them that we have some ugly boys right here In McHenry that are "spotted" for jail ir they don't quit untying horses and letting them go, and somebody will soon have a stove blown "sky high" with ths gun powder they will find in the wood they steal. We don't know who steals It, but a "busted" stove will reveal the secret. And now, Mr, Editor, we don't want to edit your paper. We are uot hungr^ for that kind of business. We don't think we could do It if we tried; but we wouldn't bury folks until they were dead, because they might nor die ; and then we should dun our subscribers so sharply so as to have something to buy bread with, buy paper, pay debts, etc., etc., ami maybe'-make them so mad that they wouldn't take the paper any longer. By the way wouldn't that be just as well as to not get pay for It? Anyway. I guess that Is enough to say for once by a newspaper DYSPEPTIC. New Music.
