The beautiful and tasty arrangements of the bountiluy

Mr.. Dennison's remarks were listened to with mark
ed attention and qualification. He repudaled the Fu-

Freedom. He thought the South had used their esrur
against the North quite long enough, and it was time
for The North to be up and doing.

HEAVY DAMAGEs.-Some time since, an acci-
dent occurred on of the railway lines in this Vi
chity; car ran off, pitched over bridge, and pre-
clpltated some ofthe passengers into the mud and
water. Several were more or less injured, and
among the rest an old farmer, residing some miles
distant from the of the disaster, who was con-
slderably bruised, but had no bones broken. The
agent oil the road waited upon the old gentleman
few days after the occurrence, and found him at
home, laid up inbed, covered pretty much over with
wormwood and sticking plasters. The agent in
formed him that he had called to ascertain the ex-
tent OF his injuries, and to make such remuneration
as he might think it proper to ask This was new
idea to the old gentleman who inquired how far the
car had fallen in tumbling off the bridge. 'tFieen
feet" was the reply.
''Well. % said he Il guess, considering that it is
rather busy time of the year. shall have to charge
you dollara foot!'' The agent quickly handed him
fifteen dollars, gravey remarking that it was rather
hlgh' but that the company never had any words in
such cases; they always paid what was demanded,
