4 APPOINTMENTS BY THE NEW SHhRlffj
The Herald rejoces over tho election
OF Burlington Anthony us Sheriff Of this
\ County. VIII the Herald please to
make record that the first act of this
new Sheriff was TO appoint as his dcpu-
ty Jabez j. Potter, that bloody "AIgcr-
inc" officer who arrested and committed
TO prison Thomas w. Dorr2 "Is there
any Democracy in that?" If,here be-
II is the Democracy Of the Post, and
not of the Herald. The Herald may al.
so have the satisfaction Of knowing that
this appointment was made literally, in
the language of the old commissions,
"by His EXcellency's command" Gov.
Allen whom the new sheriff owes hls
election, no. only approved of his selec-
ton of first deputy, but distinctly and
positively required it. William G. Bar
ker, who was at one time a candidate
for Lieutenant Gov on the ticket
with Dorr, under the 'people's constilu-
tion," was an applicant for the same
| place but his claims were rejected
Samuel A. Wesson is another deputy,
and Russcl Clapp, who stood guard in
| the Algerinc ranks at PaWtuchct, will
probably be another Mr.. Clapp did
not, we believe, belong 10 the "Carbl-
nceIs,' the company which Was equip
ed in good part by Gov. Aliens liberal
|. ity, but he was in another company
that was equally serviceable.
A deputation was Offered to David
Parmenter, who declined it by saying,
Il" that uudc- the circumstances il was no
place for a gentleman. ."-PrOr. JouHdi.
TrE "FAKIR," AGAIN. This wonder
iul Lccromancer assumes, Proteus like,
as many shapes as characters. We
hear Of his actually performing in the
market the other morning the following
experiment on an egg man.
whats the price Of eggs 2" asked
the Fakir Of a broad brimmcd country
man.
Eight cents a dozen, if you want a
single dozen"
IL only want one" says the Fakir,
"will you take five cents for one"
Go away, Mr., don't bother me, want
to sell my eggs"
81 Il give you five cents for this one"
replies the Fakir, coolly picking up an
egg.
"Wcll, il you're such a tool you may
take it,"
The Fakir gave him the five cents,
took out his knife and cracked the egg,
and out roll,d d ten or twelve half eagles.
Placing them in his pocket-'I'll take
another" says the Fakir, giving the
man another five cent piece.
/ Cracking the next, ou, rolled rs many
more.
ell take all them eggs" says the Fa-
kir.
"No you don't" says the man, cover
ING his coat tail over the basket, and
making tracks away for home, in such
haste that expert boys could have play
ed marbles on his coat nil, it stuck out
so short.
We have not heard the result, bat
rather guess" that if the country bro
kcr opened the eggs, he did not find
much else than the yolk and white and
shell.
We saw the Fakir drop a dollar in
the bottom of the basket. so that the cost
that should cnsuc, would not fall on the
egg dcaler.-( mc,HndH IHdS
INTERESTING TO School TEACHERS
A teacher was recently tried in Rock
ingtam CO.. at the Court OF Common
Pleas, for puuisu uing Il girl who did not
obey the orders of the school. The
Judge instructed the jury that teach
cr had right to punish TO Il reasonable
extent for the violation Of the rules,
that he had the same right TO punish
that parent had his own child. But
that neither teacher nor parent has the
RIGHT 10 punish to IA unreasonable CX-
tcut The jury acquitted the teachcr.-.
Dover (N. IL. Star.
i nPThc following opening remarks
made 10y Sir Henry Bulwcr at the Mary
land Historical Society dinner, are
very happy:
"Since we last met, the brave and
gallant spirit OF that soldier who then
ruled over the dcstnlcs OF thus Repub.
llc. and TO whose high achievements |
had then an opportunity OF paying Il
casual tribute Ut respect, has passed
from us to that land where there Is no
honor To the victor no humiliation 10 the
vanuushcd. Sad aud sudden, gentle
men was that event, but even whilst
following the remains of the honcst-
hearted Taylor to the grave, ! could not
see. without admiration, the quiet aud
dccorrus manner ~ Rhlch thC rclns OF
government passed throughout this cX-
. tended empire. from the hands of the
Great warrior to those of the peaceful
. magistrate"
