DEPLoRABLE DEPRAvITY. -" In the Police
Court, (says the Boston Post9 after a trial as
impartial as the lot of humanity will admit Pat
rick Murray was fined 81 and costs, for permitting
dancing within his premises between eight and nine
O'Clock on Saturday evedng. This atrocious in
fraction of the law was commenced about three
hours after the fountain in the Frog Pond had
ceased to dance for the amusement and edificaton
of the members Of the Legislature of Massachusetts,
while their Sundays wages joyously jingled in
their well loaded pockets. After the sentence, Null
ray had the audacious efrontery TO say that he did
not know that it was unlawful TO dance at such an
early hour; and if he had been allowed TO proceed
with his remarks, he would probably have capped
the climax of his contumacy by declaring that he
knew not the meaning of the merciful maxim OF the
law-IgnOrdntia Legis non crcusdt It was under
stood that some Of the dancers were laborers, who
must have defrauded their employers by carrying
away after their weeks work, life and strength
enough in their legs for the shocking sport.

The vote, says the Arkansas Banner, is 5000 short
of the number polled in August.
The counties from which no returns were received
in 1874 are reported to have given Polk an aggre-
gate majority of about 725, which, added to the
official. would make his majority in the whole State
4767 a true addition Of the wing column for the
same year would make the footing $685.. Whether
the error is in the details Of the counties or IN the

That this, at the present day, is a well understood

Journal ola Tour in Greece and the Ionan Islands,
At Argos, evening, at the table of Gen. Gordon,
then commanding in-chief in the Morea, the con-
versation happened TO turn on the number and
ferceness of the Greek dogs, when one of the COM
pany remarked that he knew a very simple expe-
dent for appeasing their fury. Happening, on a
Journey, to miss his road, and being Overtaken by
darkness, he sought refuge for the night at pas
toral settlement by the wayside. As he approached
the dogs rushed upon him; and the consequence
might have been serious had lie not been rescued
by an old shepherd, the Eumeus OF the fold, who
sailed forth and finding the intruder was but be-
nighted traveller, after peltng off his assailanfs,
gave him hOspitable reception in his hut His
guest made some remark on the Watchfulness and
zeal Of his dogs, and the danger to which he had
been exposed in their attack. The old man replied
that it his own fault for not taking the custO-
mary precautions in such an emergency-that he
ought to have stopped and sal down until some per-
son whom the animals knew came 10 protect him.
As this expedient was new to the traveller he made
some further inquiries, and was assured that if any
person in such predicament will simply seat him
self on the ground, laying aside his weapons of de-
fence, the dogs will also squat in circle around
him; that long he remains quiet they will fol-
low his example; but as soon as he rises and moves
forward they will renew the assault '-COHcb's u
