his wish could not or was not gratified, although
he was industrious in searching the streetsand
making enquiries for him. He was forced to

An UxOrIOus Monster,

While lying in Black river harbor, ia
maica, two sharks were frequently seen
playing about theship. At length the female
was killed, and the desolation of the male
was excessive. What he did without her
remains secret, but what he did with her,
was clear enough for scarce was the
breath out of his Eurydice's body, when he
stuck his teeth in her, and began to eat her
up with all possible expedition. Even the
sailors felt their sensibility excited by SO
peculiar mark of posthumOus attachment I;
and to enable him to perform this melan-
choly duty the more easily, they offered to
be his carvers, lowered their boat, and pro-
ceeded to chop his better halfin pieces with
their hatchets while the widower opened
his jaws as wide as possible, and gulPed
down pounds upon pounds of the dear de-
parted as fast as they were thrown to him,
with the greatest delight and all the avidity
imaginable. / make no doubt that all the
while he was eating, he was thoroughly
persuaded that every morsel that went into
his stomach would make its way to his
heart directly. 6" She was perfectly con-
sistent," he said to himself. "She was
excellent through life, and really she's ex-
tremely good now she's dead P'-Nduttcat

An Old Dancer.

A biographical notice in French paper,
of Madame Saqui, who, at the age Of seven
ty five years, is now dancing on the tight
rope at the Hippodrome, states some curious
facts to account for her being compelled at SO
advanced period of life to continue so
fatiguing and hazardous performance.
1t appears that Madame Saqui had acquired
handsome fortune many years age, and had
resolved TO retire, when her brother, who
was the manager of the Rouen Theatre,
WAS on the point of becoming bankrupt,
with debts Amounting to 6O,000f and to
save his credit, Madame Saqui paid the
whole amount, and reduced herself to po-
verify. Since that time she has never been
able to accumulate sufficient wealth to retire !;
and latterly, according to the Patrie, she
met with terrible misfortune. She was
returning from Spain with about 100000;
the fruit of great exertions, when she was
stopped by banditti, and robbed of the
whole of her money. In her youth she
was patronised by the Emperor Napoleon,
who frequently made her presents and on
one occasion, when much in want of mo-
ney to meet her engagements, she applied
to the Emperor for the large sum ofl0,O0Of;
and he sent it to her Immediately,

LOtterX of Death.

The Polish and German peasantry have
given the authorities at Posen considerable
trouble by their inquiries respecting
Rothschild's Lottery" They have been
led to believe that the great Rothschild'
has been sentenced to be beheaded; bu-
that he has been allowed to procure a sub
stitute, if he can, by lottery For this pur-
pose, a sum of many millions is devoted,
all the tickets to be prizes of 5000 thalers
each, except one; that fatal number is a
blank; and whoever draws it, is to be de-
capitated instead of the banker Notwith-
standing the risk, the applicants for shares
have been numerous. There is nothing
surprising in the number of applications
for these shares. Every man who enters
the army in wartime, takes out ticket in
a similar lottery. In China, human life is
of still less account; for there it is easy for
a condemned criminal, whose escape the
authorities are willing to connive at, to OBJ
tain a substitute, who, for a sum of money,
suffers death in his stead.

New METHOD OF RAISING CALvEs.-While
on a short visit to the farm Of d. M. Crowell,
Of this town, a few days ago, our attention
was drawn to a plan of raising calves for early
sale, which to us in this section of the coun-
try, has the appearance of novelty, and seems
worthy of the consideration of stock, growers.
Mr.. Crowell took ten calves (all heifers)
last spring, and commenced feeding them on
sour milk at few days old, keeping them on
the same kind Of food during the summer, ta-
king good care to feed them uniformly, but
not very abundantly, so as to keep them grow
ing thriftily, without forcing too rapidly. In
the fall they were put in the stable and fed on
hay and little meal, increasing the quanti-
ty Of the latter gradually, with view of
fitting them for beef in the spring, at one
year or a little under. These ten calves now
look like young oxen, and are estimated to
weigh about 500 lbs. each alive.-NeW York
