J. W. Pattison, Esq., of Fontenelle, Nebraska.-- He was connected
with the Bugle during the summer of 1854, and associated
with Mr. Johnson in the publication of the Omaha Arrow
the same season. "Pat" has forsaken the quill, got
married, settled on a farm, and gone to raising all the
'oncommon' sure crops of the west; in which occupation he has
grown fat and saucy. So mote it be, ever and aye.
