A Town Site Lost in the Grass,

The marshal employed in taking the cen sus, writing to the Dubuque Tribune from Fayette county, Iowa, relates the following characteristic anecdote:
 t"While crossing one of the extensive prairies that stretch along the southern bor- der of Fayette county, upon which the grass and vegetation lad grown to the height of four or five feet, then scared and yellowed by tbe autumnal frosts, we were suddenly startled by the voice of person shouting, Hello there, stranger, did you come from this here course!' Turning in the direction of the voice, we discovered the head of person just peerng above the top of the tall grass, while the arm was extended in a southern direction. We answered affirm atively, when the man continued, Well, stranger, did you see any thing of town site in your travels, slanting little towards the sun, with bustin' spring coming out right by the side of boulder? found one. down in these parts last spring before the vegetation was up, and I've been looking for it again close on to two days, and, by thunder, can't fnditn We answered that we had not discovered his lost town site, when he continued: Well, stranger, reck- on Pll have to give it up till the grass burns, and if you'll let me ride behind into the set clement, Pll make you deed to lot front ing on the public square as soon as I get my land warrant squatted on Empire City, Not being the owner of any town property, we accepted the offer."

How a Wife was made Jealous.

Boy.-Ma, isn't Miss Lovelock a nice lady? isn't she though?
 Mother.-Yes, love, she is indeed, very fine lady.
 B.-And don't father think heap of her? don't he, though?
 M.-Yes, father, as we'll as myself, thinks very highly of Miss Lovelock.
 B.-Thats what thought to-day when l see him hugging and kissing her in the front parlor.
 M-(springing to her feet with all the agility of having pressed her foot on a hot smoothing iron) Your father hugging and kissing Miss Lovelock? B.-Gn the highest glee)-My eye! was n't he.
 M-(distractedly)-And did she suffer him to do such thing without raising an alarm2
 B.-(wnking his left eye in remarkably cute style)-She didn't suffer any at all; she just hugged and kissed back again, as if she liked it better than apple dumpling covered with 'lasses dip.
 M-(widly hysterical and hystericaly wild)-Oh! the mean, rat-eyed, pug-nosed, red-headed fright! The scandalous, how dacious huzzy! I'll tear out her eyes, l will. Falls down fainting-tears her hair, and kicks her heels on the carpet, crying aloud for divorce, while her son runs off for a doctor, and meeting pappy coming home, tells him, em passant, that he, his hopeful sonneu, would n't stand in his boots for something, and a trifle over.

The Hon. Judge Judson, of the District Court of the United States for the District ot New York, in his recent charge to the Grand Jury, uses the following eloquent and forcible language in reference to the execu- ton of recent laws passed by Congress-:
 'The laws of Congress just alluded to, and all others, are binding upon us, and that, in the discharge of all our duties as public servants and private citizens, we are to believe and know that the Constitution of the United States, framed as it wasin wisdom and patriotism, is our paramount law, and must guide and govern every man who has taken his oath for its support. No mans conscience can justify it's infraction or ex- cuse its election, in whole or in part. Who has right to say to the community around him, will obey only this or that provision ot the law, and trample under feet the residue! Then every other man must have the same right to select his rejected portion and the consequences would be, that nothing would remain of our noble fabric but shreds and patches. No; this paramount law must and will be upheld by all good men, and all true patriots. You are of that number, and so must every one deem himself, as he steps his foot into court of justice. Here we will support it, because it is the best the world ever saw; because we have become a great and prosperous nation under its ban ner; because without it we should become a distracted people, warring on each others property and lives; and, last of all, because we have solemnly sworn to its support The obligation on our consciences and in our hearts, is so mpressively fixed that it cannot be released and it may be as well under stood that the judiciary branch of this gov ernment stands unitedly and firmly to this oath"

TREATMENT OF SCARLET FEvER-IMpoR- TANT PREsCRIPT1oN.-We notice letter to the Boston Medical and Chrurgica Journal, strongly recommending the mode of treat ment ot scarlet fever resorted to by Dr. Schneemann, physician to the King of Hanover. It is as follows, and exceedingly simple:
 Treatment of Scarlet Fever Jy Munction. From the first day of the llress, and as soon as we are certain of its nature, the pa- tient must be rubbed. morning and evening. over the whole body, with piece of bacon, in such manner that, with the exception of the head, covering of fat is everywhere applied. In order to make this rubbng-n somewhat easier, it is best to takea piece of bacon the size of the hand, choosing part still armed with the rind, that we may have firm grasp. On the soft side of this piece, sits are to be made, in order to allow the oozing out of the fat The rubbing must be thoroughly performed, and not too quick ly, in order that the skin may be regularly saturated with the fat. The beneficial re- suits of the application are soon obvious; with a rapidity bordering on magic, all, even the most painful symptoms of the dis ease are allayed; quiet sleep, good humor, appetite return, and there remains only the impatience to quit the sick room.
