He sets forth his woes as follows; "First. We know enough in Maine to know that a pine knot' is a tough customer." ; You are right, brother Telegraph, the Pine Knot is hard and tough. Don't batter the keen edge of your wit on it. "Second. Blue ink always has a grievous effect upon our feelings." We are sorry. Would have used green or red if we had known with what a super-sensitive spirit we were dealing. We are not sure that we can correctly diagnose your case, but think the condition you are now in is due to too great mental strain. We would recommend complete rest from attempts to be witty, wise or critical. "Third. The pine stump of the diffi culty lies in the discrepant accounts which we get from Florida cones pondents; they can't be split to get at the truth of the, matter."

The Raleigh fctfaston R. R. Co. are fitting up a hall and and reading rooms for their employees, near the round house. The house is a two story frame building, with one story wings on either side, and is enclosed by a; neat picket fence, giving quite a spacious lawn ornamented with shade trees in front of the house. A neatly designed verandah extending nearly across the whole front of the building giveji an additional cheerfu I and. pleasant appearance. The main hall is considerable size and is to bo furnished with chairs, settees, table and books standard works and pa pers! This will be a very pleasant and profitable resort in the eveniugs for the employees, of whom there arn about 120 in the shops besides the road men. ,Capt. Wm. Smith, superintend - i ent of the road, says he thinks the men greatly appreciate this act of the company. Neus and Observer. TOO LIBERAL. We have received a flattering offer from Jno. T. Patrick, State Commis sioner of Immigration, to give us a whole town lot somewhere in the State of North Carolina in payment for ten inches of our valuable npace for a period of one year. Furthermore we are privileged to coiue and squat on the aforesaid lot and Iring with us our broken constitution and by laws, and stay there until we have everlastingly cemented the pieces together with pine tar. We veiy much regret that, owing to the beastiy good state of our health, the horrible state of the roads and the impartial manner in which the railroad officials are enforcing one particular section 01 the inter-state commerce law, we must, very reluctantly, de cline to accept Mr. Patrick's flattering offer. However, not to be outdone in generosity, we make the offer to carry the ad. free and throw in a town lot in one of the suburbs of Denver if Mr. Patrick w ill transfer his vital energies to this glorious climate and go in pards with us in the real estate business.
