—One of the ?scholars in a Danbury
school being a,bsent, the teacher sent to
lita parents for an explanation, and re-
ceived the following straightforward
statement " Atometa,torin." A careful
and patient analyzation revealed the
fact that the delinquent was "at home

tute for "planting potatoes."
—A city gentleman who has recently

mancenvres.

—Mrs. M. P. Handy, in the Phila-
delphia Weekly- Time'
s gives some in-
teresting items of the financial history
of the Confederates dining the last
months_ of the war. She says : "1.
the spring of 1855 a barrel of Baia -sold
in Richmond at $1,200, while a pound
of bacon was worth $15, and sugar $57
pound.; turkeys were $25 a pound;
butter, $50 ; eggs, $30 a dozen, and ap-
plea $5 a piece, while all the n.ecessawys
of life were dear in proportion."
—A gentleman in the snburbs lately
slaw a boy ?stealthily leaving his prem-
ises with an amply filled pillow -case
dragging behind_ The gentleman knew
the bay had something in that bast, and
stole up l in his rear, and popped right
down on it seat first. It was not until
a half-& pint of excellent horoe-m.ade
ointment had been rubbed in that he be-
came sufficiently composed to explain
to hia wife that the vicious young thief
had left the burrs on those cheetnuta.
—A_ North street man went off one
Saturday noon for a half a day of fish-
ing. When he returned he had walked
thirteen miles, lost a forty-five dollar
watch, sprained. his thunala, spoiled an
e.leven dollar pair of pants by sitting
down on his luncheon, and caught a
for -pound mud turtle. He got back in
time to help the doctor out from his eld-
est bore foot one of the several fish-
hooks he had left at home. He took a
cursory view of the situation, and went
to bed.
—A writer says that what the true
man most wants of a wife is her com-
panionship, sympathy, courage and
He is right. The true man
wants his wife's companionship when
he has to get up in the night to see
what that noise is in the cellar. Her
courage is eminently valuable in the
general neighborhood debates over the
possession of some domestic artisle, and
her love is absolutely indispensable
-when he gets in late. But her sym-
pathy Well, any one who has ever
picked up the wrong stoVe lid with his
bare hail, can estimate the value of
that..
—A look at the world when the sun
is rising is a refreshing sight. Early
rising is a refreshing sight. Early ris-
ing on.a summer morning is something
to be proud of. It is healthy for both
the physical and mental forces. It is
hard to break up slothful habit, and to
spring from the couch at the first whis-
pering of .dawn ; but when one has got
up early ;taken a sniff of fresh air, and
bathed his face in theglow of the new-
born sun, be will never lie abed after
the sun is up; and when daylight comes
streaming Into Ins room the next morn-
ing, he will turn over so he can look at
hTs clothe, smile a very sheepish,9mile,
and go to Isleep again.
—At the recent fire. in Fullartou vil-
lage, Dr. Alex. Burns came very near
meeting with a fatal accident, He Jaa,s
been boarding at the burnt hotel ever
since he came to reside in Fullerton.
On the morning of the fire, Mr. Hart
ran up stairs and woke the doctor, and
told him to hurry. , Thinking there was
plent,y of time and taking things coolly,
the doctor quietly dressed. himself, even
to the putting on of his necktie, then,
taking his overcoat on his arm, opened
his bedroom door and atterapted to go
down stairs, but owing to the rapid
spread of the fire he was -unable to do
_
so. He then got out through the room
window on to the verandah but not be-
ing able to keep his feet he slipped off,
p,nd fell on his back to the hard. groand,
a distance of some 8 or 10 feet, and
came very near being burnt to death,
but was carried to a place of safety. He
is now lying in a very criticiLl condition.
Di. Burns is an old man, some 76 years
of age, a good. citizen, and has the sym-
pathy of the entire cornmunity, not only
on account of the injury he has , receiv-
ed but also because he has lost every-
,
thing he had. i
—Since the establishment of a grain
market at the railway station, Milver-
ton'business has been more lively round
the village. The delivery of grain has
been steady, averaging about 1,000 bush-
els per day at that point, while Mr. V.
Kertcher is also a large purchaser, as
his mill, which is now keptrunning day
and night requires a large supply of
wheat. He ships 200 barrels of flour
weekly,besides doing a large local busi-
ness. The price paid for grain is Strat-
ford figures, deducting freight.
—Mr. George; Hamilton, who has for
naany years carried on thernianufacture
of cheese near Croarty, , his disposed
of his factory to a joint stook company,
which come into existence under the
name of the Cronaarty Cheese and But-
ter Manufacturing Company. A board
of directors has been appointed, with
Mr. David Mitchell as President, to
carry on the business in future, Mr.
Hamilton contemplates removing to
Stratford, by which that community
will lose a valuable man, and Stratford
gain a useful citizen.
—Two or three of the fast youths of
Listowel have been makingla practice
of visiting several of the sthall villages
around, taking with them a avheel of
fortune a pack of cards, dice,&c., for
the purpose of gambling. One of their
latest expeditions was to Tyrone, on
Tuesday of last week on the occasion of
Mr. Windholt's ball. They expected to
make a haul out of the country boys,
but were disappointed, having had to
return home with leas cash than they
brought, and a bloody nose into the
bargain.
—George Clouthier, son of Mr. Her-
cules Clouthiet, Stratford, a bright boy
of some seven or eight years old came to
-hie death on Monday afternoon of last
week in a peculiarly distressing manner.
Along with a playmate about the same
age he went • into the tannery on Erie
street, a short distance from his home,
and while there he rea,naged to fall into
one of the leach tubs, which was filled
with boiling tan liquor. As soon as he
he fell in his scream's- brought some of
the workmen to his rescue, and he was
soon extricated with considerable diffi-
culty. He was taken home, and medic-
al assistance was sent for, but nothing
could be done for the little fellow, who
died in a few minutes in intense agony.
•
131aying Horse With a Bear.
Once there was a man whose life had
been spent in " goingWest." His father
and mother moved from New England
to Michigan when he was a baby, and
settled six miles from any neighbor.
But before the farm was all cleared,
other settlers came, and the family
moved on. "Don't want to be crowd-
ed," the old. man said. " I heard -a, rifle
and an axe that wasn't mine yesterday." -
And he went farther and. farther West
every year, till by the time the boy I'm
telling you of was ia grown-up man, they
had got clear to the west part of Oregon,
on the Pacific Coast. And as the old
man couldn't 'novo West any farther,
without getting into the ocean, and
neighbors had moved within l two miles
of him, he gave it up, went to bed sick,
and died. " 'Tain't no use" he said,
"they're bound to crowd an old. man
outer the world. I can't a -bear to tech
elbows with folks, no -how.?' And so he
died,with his nearest neighbor two miles
of his son's
built their
a hill ; but
it was so low and damp that James—
for that was Ins name—started to build.
a bigger one higher up, half a mile off,
near a mountain brook, with grand old
trees around the spot, and a fine view of
the country. He took off the two front
wheels of the old emigrant -waggon that
they had crossed. the great plains in, and,
made him a good strong twa-wheeled
cart, with a box on it. And in this he
drew back and forth his carpenter
tools, and his ,dinner, and chips for the
fire, over a rough road that he had cut
through the woods.
He used. to take a little nap after his
noon -day -meal; and and one day when
he was sleeping on a splendid bed of
evergreen boughs that he had fixed near
the timbers he was at work on, he.was
wakened by a loud rattling of the tin
dishes in his cart. He looked. around
quickly, and what do you suppose, he
saw? A big black bear, pawing over
the luncheon he had left, and. smacking
his chops over a piece of wild. honey
and Borne corn cakes that James hadn't
eaten up.
away.
But I was going to tell you
scrape with a bear. They
first log house it the foot of
tin -dishes in the bottom of the cart rat-
tled like a peddler's waggon on the
pavement: the axe and gun bounded on
to the bear's toes, and he looked as if he
didn't know which was the Worse—his
mad or his scare.
Down the steep hill James ran,
straight for the cornor of his log -house.
He had hs plans all made, and as he
turned the corner he ran the cart
-against a log, and tipped it right over,
bottom side up, with Mister Bear onthe
under side.. His other rifle hung over
the door, in the house, and he grabbed
that down in a hurry, and as the bear
stuck his head out from under the cart
he tilhot lam right between the eYes,say-
ing: "Thee, that settles the question."
"What question?" asked his wife,who
came running out to see what the noise
meant.
" Why the question whether I had
caught a bear or he had caught me."
Mercy sakes !" be said, as she saw
the dead bear. Then he told her the
story, and she kissed him, and laughed.
and cried at the same time. And he
had. an overcoat made of the shin, to re-
member the time when he "gave a bear
a free rido."
This is a pretty fix.," said James jto
himself, quick as a flash. " My rifle
and axe are both in the cart, and that
ugly beast would claw me to pieces be-
fore I could get 'em out." He was afraid
the bear would_ chase him if he ran, and.
corner him if he stayed, and so he set
hie wits at work to find a way out of the
serape. Good bright wits are too ranch
for a bear, or a hard. lesson, or a tough
job of any sort, if they are only kept at
work, with no "1 can't," cpr "1 don't
want to," �r " Oh dear!" to binder'
them. It didn't take James's wits so
long as I have been telling it to you to
make a plan for him.
He jumped to his feet quick as aflaela
grabbed the tongue of the cart before
the bear could say "Jack obinson"—if
he had known how—and started on a
keen run down , the hill, drawing the
cart and the bear in it after him.
Well,I s'pose there never was a bear
so astonished since the pair saved from
the flood stepped out of Noah's ark and
found the whole world drowned. He
liad never had a ride before, and didn't
want one now. But the cart was going
so fast that he dareu 't jump out; and so
he just clung on, and looked from one
side to the other, and. fairly howled as
the cart jumped over the roots and
stones. James had :been to the city
once and seen the street cars, and when
he found. he had the bear caught,thefun
of the thing made him laugh.
When the bear roared once he hal-
loed. back: "All full inside !—take the
next car 1" And when the bear gave a
terrifid growl, he saidN Move up in
front, please,—and don't grumble. This
is a through car. Git Up there !" and.
he buckled down to'it, and ran just the
way the car -drivers make the horses do,
when they are 'late, and pretend they
don't see a littlaboy crooking his fingers
for 'em to titop on the croesing. The
Getting Clothes.
When a woman buys an article of
wearing -apparel, it is all right- She is
not couns lled to take it back because
of this cr that defect. She ignores
man's kn wledge in the Matter, and he
is only to 'glad -to escape to make any
protest. FBut when he upholsters him-
self in an particular, she gives the ar-
ticle the thost critical examination, and
in nine cases out of ten hurries him
right batik with it. Between_ that
man's regard or his wife, and. fear of
the -merchant, he loses a great deal that
is pleasant in this world.. It is.. also a
little singelar what a wonderful effect
the store 'where you have made the pur-
chase has upon the ft of the article -
1 have kn wn a man to go back three
times wit a coat. The first time it
pinched. 1. e a little under the arias.
The dea er had. him try it on; then
pulled. it s own in the back, stood off
and sq sted at it, and then said, "How
does that feel now?"
The m n, perspiring at_ every pore,
and feel g that he was guilty, in some
way, of aking uafair advantage of a
trusty fe ow mortal, confessed that it
was muc better, and. went off.
The neL t day he appeared, with the
impression that there was no wool in
the cloth ;- his wife said so. The sales,
man gav: 'him such a pitying glance,
and Whi aped the coat over from one
side to ti e other so rapidly and talked
so fast a lout texture and. wool that the
miserabl wretch was glad to get the
garment back, and get out of the
store.
Two d ys later he sneaked in again
with th: coat under his arm. This
time it 'inched across the back, the
tailor h d him tty it on again, and
then rub led it across the back, and pull-
ed it at t e front, and saidhe never saw
anything fit like that in his life; and
the man went off with .ft itimilas belief.
He didn' go back any more ; but he
used to :tand in front of that store,
when no one was looking, and shake his
fist tihro gh the window at that tailor,
and thi • up things he wanted to do to
him, but which there appeared no im-
mediate orospect of doing.
Opinm Eating in the United
States.
Opi I. eating is the live issue in the
Shertano oah valley of Virginia. A lo-
cal pape has been investigating, and
reports 'hat the habit is frightfully
ptevalen , insomuch that the drug
stores of Staunton, a place of 10,000 in-
habitant:, retail about 100 pounds a
week, ra: .y of theirbest customers be-
ing youn- ladies of "the first families,"
while storekeepers in the country find
their trao e in the drug so increased. of
late, tha they are now purchasing of
wholesal houses at the North. The
excitem nt aroused lay the exposure,
has bee • fanned by the rather tragic
death of a Harrisonburg woman, who
had. sent ,two horses to be sold, in order
to raise so on.ey to buy morphine, and
was so o ercome when she saw the man
returnin without having made the
trade, t at she fell to the floor and. died
in a few hours. A public meetinabwas
held at Staunton, shortly after, to or-
ganize ublic sentiment against the
vice, an a petition to the Legislature
is being I umerously signed, asking for a
heavy t: • on "opium. The introduction
of the b 11 -punch which has raised the,
price of "drinks," is held to be partly
responsible for the spread of the evil.
