The vision that floated down Nathan Road in the local phaeton in the region of ten o'clock yesterday morning may have caused a little consternation and uneasiness of mind to the residents (not of course for getting the herbs "") who gazed with such opan-mouthed amazement and not a little adrairation. Even Jehu, perched high on the top. of his orange box, felt a little concerned There was fairly ampls, evidence to convict, him before any magistrate
placing himself in the position of a jury that he did his level best. to hobble out of conveying such a pre eius human freight. We scoured the whole neighbourhood to dig out his shak the night before and having run him to earth made him swear by everything that he held most doar that he would fetch his gingham along at 9.30 He looked all the more pleased when $1.50 was given. to him as an assurance of our bona fides. But at 9.30 or, even half an hour later, Jehu ond his accessories bad not arrived and the process of digging him out again was carried through a little more expeditiously than on the former occasion. Had he heard a few of the home trutha** as to his unpolite behaviour he would possibly never-have tumbled out of the cock-loft. However, he suddenly appeared round the corner dragging at the head of his weather worn pony for all the world like Darky before a reluctant Neddy at Eastbourne.
