The newspapers
that had the Bibles telegraphed to them from the east, were also pirates.
O, the revision is a three-card monte speculation; that is all it is.
A BLACK BEAR AT ONALASKA.
A black bear was brought into town for sale on Friday, having been killed
by Tom Rand, near Onalaska. He killed it with a little rifle that didn't
look big enough to hurt a hen. If bears are so sociable as to come within
sight of La Crosse to be killed, it will be a good excuse for husbands to
stay at home nights.
ANOTHER DEAD FAILURE.
Again we are called upon to apologize to our readers for advertising what
we had reason to expect would occur at the time advertised, but which
failed to show up. We allude to the end of the world which was to have
taken place last Sunday. It is with humility that we confess that we were
again misled into believing that the long postponed event would take
place, and with others we got our things together that we intended to take
along, only to be compelled to unpack them Monday morning.
Now this thing is played out, and the next time any party advertises that
the world will come to an end, we shall take no stock in it. And then it
will be just our luck to have the thing come to an end, when we are not
prepared. There is the worst sort of mismanagement about this business
somewhere, and we are not sure but it is best to allow God to go ahead and
attend to the closing up of earthly affairs, and give these fellows that
figure out the end of all things with a slate and pencil the grand bounce.
