'!D-^n thatßot, He's Asleep Again."— A yonfth, about fifteen years of aare, the son of Mr Manalbch, a publican at Brunswick took it into his head, we believe without the consent of his parents to seek:his fortune in the Ovens district. On noble thoughts intent; h^ joins a carrier coming this way and aistingufsh'^d himself on the road by his exti-aor-dinary capacity Tor slfjop. On arriving at Batley Town, the carrier who accompanied him *' chaffed* him witli his; propensity, suying that he was too lazy to do any Kood. The boy stoutly denied this, and declared himself capable of great things. To test him, the., cimer, who among other articles had some wher Ibarrowa for the rail, said he vrould give the boy £1 if he wheeled a bag of rice into Beechworth alwayslceeping within sight of the dray. The boy " tackled" the barrow manfully,- and with a stoppatm here and the c, maaaged to keep in sight of the team. till he arlived atFeeley's of the Black Springs hay-ing-performed the distance of seven miles, with only three more lo come. Here, however, his drowsiness overcame him, and the carrier on missing him, returned to find him coiled up in the barrow, upon the bag of rice, fast asleep. Knowing from experience how impossible it would be to rouse him, he wheeled him up to the dray aud bundled barrow, bag1, and boy into it. He hail his rest .but lost his money. 'The fat boy in Pickwick tri.iy not, after all, have been a' creation of fancy.— Ovens Advertiser, Ist November.'
