•fm prison. : _*The Editor of the Maumee Express reads his neighbors a pleasant, practical lecture, upon the Canada war, from which we make the following extract:—' i » ■44 Friends and fellow-citizens—Keep cool and don't make fools of yourselves in the Canada business.— Stay at home—mind your own affairs-—keep yourmoney—don’t tear your shirts, nor hurrah before yon are out of the woods. Form as many secret societies as you please, practice your winks, nods and grips as-you please, but don't get drunk—don't pledge yourselves—don’t trust yourselves ,ou British ground.— They handle guns very carelessly on the other sido of the boundary. Them Britishers always shut up their eyes before they shoot, and there is no knowingwhat they may do, if they should getshooting bullets. It’s, perfect folly to get in the way of a gun in careless-hands—so keep shady—dnn’t join the “hunters;'*don’t go wandering off away from home 44about yourbusinessdon't '■•have as good aright to be in oneplace as another.'” If.you want to look mysterious, look so at your wife.; if jrou want to shako your.headrshake it at your children. Do bu.duess on your own capital—pay a sufficient respect to the soundness ofyour skiu-— taken newspaper and pay for it, and youcan learn all about these matters as well as if you.were on the ground.”
