Mdgnanimity.-A young man on the
point Of marriage was drawn for the mi
litia Of Lorrian.--ln despair he applied TO
the Count de Mitry, captain Of the regi-
ment, who in compassion gave his word
that the service should not exceed one
year. The term expired, the captain ex-
plaiued to the colonel, and requested the
macs discharge, which the colonel fatty
refused, as he said the subject was an exc
cellent soldier, and did credit to the
corps. Next day he was surprised when
the captain waited on him in the soldiers
attire, kDapsack and musket, with this ad-
dress " My colonel, as the word Of
gentleman is sacred, and | have pledged
mine that this man shall only serve for a
year, here is my commission of captain,
which ] resign. and am ready to serve 10
his place" The colonel With shame and
amazement signed the discharge.

Butter.-As the season again approach
es for making this valuable article il is
thought by the writer of this, few hints
respecting it, under existing circumstan-
ces, cannot be Improbable -
Churn the milk or cream, while it is
sweet work out all The butter milk use
salt that is clean and fine; put in no more
than if it was for your own immediate use.
Should it now be sent away to sell let it
be done in the cool of the morning, that it
may Dei be heated. Those who receive it
may put it into strong pickle for one or
700 days. The kegs, into which il is TO
be packed, must be tagged, and water
tight, to contain 20 or 25 pounds Of butter.
Soak them thoroughly in strong pickle
"a hours, then tare them, strew a little
fine salt in the inside, carefully pack each
color aud quality of butter by itself. Fill
the keg within one inch of the top, take
thin slice and separate the wood from the
butter around the inside of the key, head
it, make small hole 10 the top, aud fill it
solid with pickle, in which is little salt
petre dissolved.
In this way, il the kegs are tight and
we'll made, of thick slaves, so as not TO
stain through, the butter will keep sweet
as rose for years, and every key would
inspect first sort for hot climate would
command an extra price, and be superior
to any put up 10 any other common way
" The pickle used to put butter inio
where it is first taken in. should be boiled
once in two months, and il will become as
clear as wine--the older the better.

A letter from Burgundee, dated May

the following shocking recital -" About
5 O'Clock in the afternoon of Tuesday the
29th inst. some OF my servants came run
ming into the room in the greatest alarm,
say ing that an alligator had just taken a
boy about Ia years OF age, from one of

near the place were seen running TO the
ghant, to which proceeded in company
with gentleman, as fast as possible, in the
khopes of rendering some assistance. A
little after we arrived at the river side.
some one among the vast number of ma
lives collected, cried out that he could
see it on looking down the river, at q
short distance, we clearly saw the aliga,
tor with the boy in his mouth; shortly
after which he disappeared, then rose
again, and eleyatihg himself with his head
out of the water three or four feet, he still
held the boy in his mouth by the hand
and tossed him from one side TO the Other
in the air, with the greatest violence anC
rage; then dashing him on the surface o
the water, with the hope, as we supposed
Of dislocating his bones, the more easily Il
Egorge him. This he repeated severa
times, but nothing at the moment could b,
done. In the hope Of saving the ooy'
life, every thing was thought Of to recove
the body, and people we're sent off 10
fishermen residing near the place; bu
about an hour expired before they cam
with boats and draglines. On their arri
val We provided them with these, in tn
hope Of obtaining the boy, and after drag

the place where last seen, we succeede.
in hooking up both boy and alligator
The latter, however, made his escape
but the body Of the boy was secured, ant
though dreadfully mangled with the loss o
head and shoulders, was brought on shore
and delivered to the parents for burial
The boats we're again sent out, and agar
caught the alligator; but in drawing hin
to the surface Of the water 10 harpooI

nothing more could be done, but the fish
