6TThe following story is going the rounds
of the English papers,
"Two sons of nobleman, at school at Eton,
were asked one day to Windsor Castle to
spsad the day with the Prince of Wales
His highness having, in the course of the
days amusements, given himself some airs
which the Etonians had no relish for. one of
them gave him a sound drubbing. The cir
cpmstapce reached the ears of the Queen,
who having uscertaiEed on inquiry that her
son had given sufficient provocation to merit
the thrashing, had the good sense to express
her satisfaction at the lesson taught him"

Hints TO fhoTHEKs.-If you wish to cult
vate gossipping, meddlag, censorous spirit
in your children, be sure when they come
home from church, visit, or any other place
where you do not accompany them, to ply
them with questions concerning whst every
body wore, how every body locked, and what
every body said and did; AID il you find any
thing in this censure, always DO it in their
hearing. You may rest assured, ifyou pursue
course Of this kind, they will not return 70
you i.nladen with intelligence; and rather
than should be uninteresting, they will by
degrees, learn to embelish in such manner
as shall not fail to call forth remarks and ex-
Pressions of wonder from you. You will, by
this course, render the spirit of curiosity
which is 90 early visible in children, and
which, if rightly directed, may be made the
instrument Of enriching and enlarging their
minds-a vehicle of mischief, which shall
serve only to narrow them.

We understand that the opera troupe who
gave concert.lost Saturday night at Foster
Hall, intend giving a concert this evening at
the same place, for the benefit Of Mr.. Stein,
who assisted these gentlemen at their con-
cert last Saturday evening. twill be recol-
;lected, Mr.. STEMS residence was burned a
few months ago, and he lost almost every
thing. This benefit is to assist him in max
ing up his losses. He will have the assist
ance of a number of his pupils, and -we are
sure the concert will prove the finest musical
treat OF the season, and that every lover of
music will attend. both for their own gratii.
cation and. to assist Mr.. Stein.

George DELPHI was bound over at Louisville
on Wednesday, in $4,000 to answer the
charge of manslaughter, in killing his uncle
Reuben Lyster, and VIM. Terrence in $1,000
bounds for aiding and resisting. In the ex'
animation of this case, it was shown, as we
learn from the Louisville Times, that Lyter
was the FIRST to accost and strike DELPHI while
he was walking by, not interfering with any
body. There had been, however, difference
existing between the parties for some length
of time about woman up town. DELPHI had
gone 10 her house and kicked up fuss there
fer which there was warrant issued against
him. Lyter had been living with this wo-
man, keeping her, and was uncle to the pris-
oner. DELPHI, together with Terrence, 1t
appeared, went on last Friday morning, the
day after the issuing of the warrant, to the
house of Lyter to try and have it withdrawn,
when scuffls ensued, and they retired to-the
railroad depot, and DELPHI addressed the iol-
lowing note to him.
When came to yoar house it was for the
purpose OF settling amicably this matter
about Anne. She says you was the instiga-
tor of the whole Of it, and can prove it by
respectable witness. Now sir, if you don't
! aye this matter withdrawn from court this
morning, will promulge some truths about
YOU. You remember what on told me about
burning your property for the insurance. l
have more in store for you, and unless you
have this thing withdrawn will make pub
lie example OF you.
GEORGE. w. DELPHI.
There was NO evidence that they met after
this until the next night Saturday in the
market house, when the lie pass between them
scuffie ensued, and DELPHI fred pistol at
him which caused Liter's death.
