FUNNY.
We see funny things in Saratoga. Within the last week many
inanimate objects have been seen in full motion. We have seen
a Saratoga hop, a watch spring, a note run, a rope walk, a horse
fly (that was Longfellow), and Southgate says he saw the big
elms leave last spring. John Cecil says they wanted to go and
see the Pacific slope and the Third Avenue Bank run. The Rev.
George Knowlton says it is a common thing to hear a locust (low
kuss) sing—down on Broad St. when stocks are up. Col. Heywood
carries a pair of door hinges constantly in his pocket. He says
they are something to a door, like the ladies.
