WILSON--and GEO.
FRANCIS TRAIN Ulogized.

Resolutions were offered that Congressman MORRISEY be pulverized, by
some talented femail startin' a opposition club house, employin' none
but Tigers of the gentle sects.

After a few more summer complaint speeches agin that Horrible!
Bloodthirsty! 2 legged Monkster, MAN!! the annual Hen convention of
Antideluvian Fossils tide up their bonnet strings--took their husbans

"By the prickin' of my thumb
Somethin' wicked this way comes."

The above, Friend PUNCHINELLO, was as seen by,

Of all the causes that arrest public attention, surely this laying of
wooden pavement is the most enduring and effectual.

People of every grade and degree make a dead halt as they approach this
