An Amerscah country newspaper thai describes the editor of a riral journal — " The editor of the Hooking Sentinel ? seems to be. much excited at the tone of our paper. Did any of our reader* ever seethe Sentinel? Take a six-bushel sack, about as long one way as the other; fill it with bran ; hit both ends heavillyin the centre. Scent it well throughout with bad whisky and onions,- and you have him physically, smell and all; .Take a half-witted, well-fed Hottentot, inject into him the largest possible amount of conceit; extract from him three-fourths of his brains, and all his principles; beat him over the head until he forgets what little be did know, and you hare him intellect* ually." .
