Mrs. Darlington says she has noticed
that whether -four was dear or cheap, she
had invariably to pay the same money for
half a dollars worth.
A wag observing fellow steal fish
and put it under his jacket, which was too
short to conceal the theft, hallooed to the
purloiner to steal shorter fish or wear a
longer jacket.
"A Judge in Cincinnati is said to have
SO much real estate on his hands that moth
ing but soap and water will relieve him.
This recalls to mind the remark of Chas.
Lamb to person of rather unclean 6igits,
while playing cards. "Well," said he,
elf dirt was trumps, what hand you'd
have" ~
-"Sammy, Sammy, my son, don't
stand there scratching your head stir your
stumps, or you'll make no progress in life."
"Why, father, I've often heard you say
that the only way to get on in this world
was to scratch a head.'
Once upon time, man met an old
woman in an English town, driving several
asses.
ssAdieu, mother of asses" said he.
ssAdieu, my son." was the old woman's
reply.
The fellow went on his way feeling for
his ears.
Judge B, in reprimanding a
criminal, among other names, called him a
scoundrel. The prisoner replied

"Put your words closer togsther,'' said
the Judge, reddening.
This is evidently an age of refine

not count your chickens till they are hatch

of etiquette: ssThe producers of poultry
should postpone the census of their juvenile
fowls, till the period of incubation is fully
accomplished"
Not many years ago, when high-top
bonnets were fashionable, preacher took

told his audience that his text was in the
Bible. An attentive nearer on returning

and found it in Matthew, "let him that is

purchase horse of a quaker.
ssWill he draw well ?" asked the buyer.
"Thee will be pleased to see him draw, -
answered Nehemiah.
The bargain was closed, and the farmer
tried the horse, but he would not stir q step.
He returned:
nThat horse will not draw an inch"
aI did not tell thee he would draw, friend;
only remarked that it would please thee to
see him draw, and so it would me, but he
would never crafty me in that respect"

HORRIBLE MURDER OF POLICE OFFICER.
On Saturday, 18th inst, s. H. Ferguson,
constable of the Seventh Ward, accompanied by
John F. X. Jones, another officer Of the same
Ward started to Butte county, with process
from Court, for the arrest OF Casper LAudpar-
ter, who recently kept rum-shop in Diamond
alley, indicted in our Quarter Sessions for the
larcsncy of gas, by tapping the pipes Of the Gas
Company, and for keeping tipping house.
We learn that, on Thursday, in an endeavor to
effect the arrest, Laudparter killed Ferguson
with knife, severely stabbed Jones, and eff
fected his escape.
We learn, from some persons from the
neighborhood that Landparter resided six mileS
from Butler, on the Freeport Road, where the
officers arrived on Thursday afternoon, 2lst in.
slant, at one o'clock, but did not find him al
home. On calling again they found him up
stairs, and he expressed willingness to accom-
pany them, bat desired first to change his
clothes, refusing to do so, however, in their
presence; he went into an adjoining room, pre-
cured a dirk-knife and pistol from a stand
drawer, returned and at acked themj Jones
Knocked the pistol from his hand, with stick,
the only weapon he had, and Mrs. Landparter
endeavored to prevent the murder, but the ruff
fan succeeded in inhicting seven Stabs, upon
officer Ferguson, and cutting him badly about
the right wrist, in his efforts to ward of the
blows; he was wounded in the heart, right
breast, back, abdomen, and hip, Jones was Sc
lverely cut in the neck and groin and received
other slight wounds.
