A Deer Story~-A Fact.

FEW days since as two small boys,
aged eleven and thirteen years, sons of War
rem Morley, who resides about twelve miles
ffom this city, on the lake shore road, were
tFawlng wood, they were startled by the
b'rkiag of n dog in the bushes close by
GA going into the bushes they were met BY
large two year old buck having tussrl
with the dog. One Of the boys cttched up
club and made for the deer, but no sooner
had he done this than the deer made for him
with his hair standing straight up on his
back, aNd his eyes glistcning like wild6re.-
AS he made for the boys, the dog caught
him by the hind leg and threw him down
and then both boys pitched into him with
their clubs, and pouR&cd him pretty severe
~, but he soon gained his footing, and made
second dash Mt the boys-as he did so
striking at them with his horns, the boys
struck him on the head with their clubs
The deer not liking this treatment, and hav-
mg to fight Three to one, concluded to take
French leave, which he did, with the dogs
and boys in pursuit. The deer made for the
lake, ONE fifty rods from the scene of ac-
ton, and went on the ice, closely pursued by
the dog.

the horns with the other, to keep the deer
from kicking him, and then calling on the

The Editorial Life.

Col. ScoULER, who has just retired from
the Editorial chair Of the Boston Atlas, for
the purpose of entering into some other pur-
suit, holds this language in his valedictory
address:
=" We have taken this step after due con-
sderation, and never did prisoner released
from confinement feel more pleasure than we
do in casting from our shoulders the cares
and responsibilities OF an arduous and diff
cult profession. For fourteen years we have
held almost daily communication with the
public through the columns oft press, and
in this connection, what We have done and
what we have left undone, have passed be-
yond our recall. Whether We shall ever re-
enter the profession, and resume the pen ed
itorial, depends upon circumstances beyond
our power ut the present to determine. 1t
IS profession full of difficulties, and hcdged
around with responsibilities. The editor
who does his duty, with independence and n
honest purpose, has his reward. We have
had ours. We have, in many instances, ran
counter to our personal interest we have
never violated, thank God, the honest convic-
tions of our understanding. We leave the
paper to-day with the same feelings which
we entertained when we connected ourselves
with it seven years ago.

Mirabile Dictu.

"THE ingenuity of the present age is wor-
thy of admiration. 1t lays aside the suppo-
sition that the days or miracles are over
yea, the exploits of modern ingenuity, when
handed down to remote posterity, will far
surpass those ofthe Apostolic age. Form
erly it was thought necessary for man to
obtain an extensive education before he en-
barked in the study of any of the learned pro-
fcssions. But thank our stars those days
have fled. Nowadays a common English
education is all that is necessary previous to
the study of law or medicine, and rs to di-
rinity, the only prerequisite is the holy spirit,
which is miraculously infused in their hcav-
en- born souls.
But is it likely that these freaks will be
progressive! Most likely. We may expect
in short time to see men instantane ously
receive knowledge of the most intricate
science without that application and hard
study which was formerly employed by old
fashioned 6lockheads. This is a great i'm
provement indeed. II saves much precious
time that was formerly spent in reading the
dead languages. And what proves more
manifestly the folly of old times, is the ali
suitableness of the new plan to the main
purpose. How eloquent and how graceful
are our professional men Of this description!
Oh how cogent their reasoning!!

Scientific Prophecy.

THE following is n singular instance of
the accuracy with which science predicts re-
suits
"An exchange paper states that about
eighteen years ago, Mr.. Halt, of Wilton, in
Fairfield County, Conn, then n remarkably
good student in his collegiate course, was
suddenly deprived of his memory and reason
Under these circumstances, his father, the
Rev. Mr.. Halt, sent him to Hartford, but
finding no relief he sent him to DIR. Chaplin,
of Cambridge, Mass
The Doctor said there was no present re-
lief for him, but at the age of thirty-six or
thirty-seyen there would be a change; that
the brain was too much expanded for the
Uranium, and there would be at that age
contraction, which would enable it to act
healthily. His anxious father add friends
saw their hopes peremptorily deferred for
eighteen years.
That time has recently expired, and to
their great JOY the prophecy is fulfilled
The man began to inquiie for books rs if he
had just said them down, and resumed his
mathematical studies where he had left them
There was no trace in his mind Of this long
blank in his life, or anything which has oc.
Cured in Il, and he did net know that he
was forty years Of age"
