THE PEpLAR,s BARGAIN.

One day tin pedlar, with an assortment of
nick-nacks, arrived at village in Maine, and
called at one of the houses to sell his wares
After disposng of few articles to the lady of
the houses, who seemed to live in the midst of
children, che declared her inability to buy moro
for the want ofmoney.
"But, m1rm, aint you got any ragsl"
'None to sell, sir"
"Well," said he, "you seem to have plenty
OF children. Will you sell me one for tin ware!
"Wbat will you give, sirr'
"Ten dollars for one of them."
'ln good tin wareT
80. yes marn, tho best"
"Well sir, it is bargain"
She then handed one Of the urchns to tho
pedlar, who surprised that the offer was accep-
ted, yet convinced that the mother would not
part with her boy, placed him in the cart, and
supplied the woman with tins until the ten dol
lars was made up.
The man felt certain that the mother would
rather raise the money than part with or child
seated himself by the side of the boy, who was
much pleased with the idea of having a ride
The pedlar kept his eyes on the house, ex-
pecting to see the woman hasten to redeem the
little one. and rode off at slow pace. After
proceeding some distance, he began to repent
of his bargain and turned back.
The woman had just finished ornamenting
her dresser with the tin, when the pedlar
returned.
swell, think the boy is too small. I Iguess
you had better take him back again, and let
me have the ware"
"No sir the bargain was fair, and you shall
keep il. You may start off as soon as you
pleaseP
Surprised at this, the pedlar exclaimed
"Why marn, how can you think of parting
with your boy, so young, to strangerf'-
"Oh, sir, we would like to sell off all our town
paupers for ten dollars a head"
The boy was dropped at tho door, the whip
cracked, the tin ratified and pedlar measured
the ground RAPIDLY, and he never after forgot
his pauper speculation IN. Y. Reville.

FATAL AFFRAY.-Two men by tho names
of CORNELIUS TUBBs and DIR. KEARNEY, had a,
fracas at Planfield, on Saturday last, which re-
suited in such severe injury TO the latter per-
son that he died at o'clock the next morning.
A Coroner's inquest was held on Sunday. which
found verdict that he came to his death by
blows inflicted by CORNELIUS TUBES.
The particulars Of the affray, we learn from
the evidence taken at the inquest, and the
cause of the same as reported by residents of
Plainfield well acquainted with the parties, are
rs follows: Some two years since the parties
had some difficulty sb ut COW, which led to
an affray in which Mr.. TUBBs was severely
kicked by Mr.. KEARNEY, and two of his ribs
broken. This occurred after one or both of
the parties had been drinking freely. After
ward they had been reconciled TO each other.
but wheneye or the DR.. became disguised with
liquor if he came in contact with Mr.. TUBBs,
the old feeling was revived, and hard words
would pass between them. On Saturday the
DIR. had beon drinking freely, and late in the
tn, afternoon was assisted in getting on his
horse to ride home, he being scarcely able to
ride. He had proceeded but short distance
when he overlook Mr.. TUBBs, and an alterca-
tion ensued-the DR.. got off from his horse,
and it seems from the accounts which have
reached US, was the aggressor. He struck Mr..
Tubs several times i'm the face with his left
hand This right being disabled by felon)
which led to struggle, TUBBs at last jerked
the club from tho Dr., and he (tbe Dr. fell
PROSTATE. TuBBs then stepped up to him and
gave him three blows, two Of which were up
on tho head. They wero then separated.
The DR.. got up and was helped upon his horse,
but Immediately tainted, was carried into a
neighboring house, and his wounds dressed.
lie remained in a state OF stupor until about
fonr o'clock the next morning, when he died.
Mr. TUBBs has boen arrested and examined be-
four justice MILLER, ofthis city OIL Monday and
bound over to answer tho charge of murder IN
the second degree. His bail was fixed by com
missioner Rood at 1000 DR.. KEARNEY leaves
a wife and several children, and Mr.. TUBS has
also large family.
We learn that Mr.. TUBBs has given the re-
quircd bail.-[Grand Rapids Enquirer.

TEcUMsEH BRANCH r. r. PROCEEDINGS -
In passing up along the line of the extension
of this road a few days since, we found it quite
alive with hands and teams, making ready for
the iron horse. There is quiet demonstration
about this thing on the part of the Southern
Company and the people here that only smiles
at the important rage and chicanery of the foil
cd Central monopoly 1t may storm as much as
it chooses, but the road is being built, and in
less than two years we expect to send our Rep
resentatives up to Lansing upon it, to unite
with our neghbors of the Grand River Valley,
in proclaimiug and showing to the world, that
the majesty ofa free people is above the power
or purpose of any corporation.
The high handed assumption and acts of the
Central company for the last few years have
opned tho eyes of some, not wont to see be-
fore-but now the dio is cast-they will never
be ln!led into security again.

The gentleman wishing to indulge him in dis
playing his knowledge, begged leave TO pro-
pose question, to which the old man consen-
ted. He III n asked who was the fret circuu-
cised! The Indian Immediately replied father
Abraham; and directly asked the gentlemen
who was the fret Quaker lie said il was
very uncertain, as that people differed in their
sentiments exceedingly. The Indian perceiv-
ing the gentleman unable to solve the ques-
ton, put his fingers into his mouth, to express
bis surprise, and told him Mordccai was the
first Quaker, for he would not pull of his hat
to Hamsn.

Singular causa of Death.

On Saturday last, young man. son of Mr..
Bond. of tho firm of Bond & Tibb, Woburn,
died; the circumstances attending his decease
wero remarkable On Thursday last while
in bis usual good health, he was called to ro-
move some hides from wagon; he had a slight
scratch upon his face, so slight az scarcely to
DO noticeable, and during his work he incau-
tiously touched the place with his hands; i'm
mediatcly redness was observed, swelling
quickly succeeded and extended over his face.
although he bad the best Of medical aid, the
poison which he had received by innoculation
was too active and too powerful to yield TO
medical treatment. The poison was received
from the hides. This is the third death which
has occurred in North Woburn within year
from similar cause.-[ Albany Register.

PRorANE SWEARING. This sin is daily in
creasing. In almost any company-among the
learned and unlcarnd, poor and rich, among
the female sex, this sin is daily committed
II is surprising that persons learned in the arts
and ciences--intellectually and morally,
should be guilty of so heinous an offense in full
knowledge Of the impertive command Of God
to che contrary. Notwithstanding, in this
country where education is priced, the COM
mission of this sin is frequent. 1t is not only
sinful but degrading, debasing, and offensive
and altogether unnecessary .-Itis vainly con-
sidered to set off and earnish colloquy, but in
the eyes of the truly wise and considerate il is
viewed in far different light.

the roads were worse than they ever will be

ence, that they who drink the least of any
thing and above all. of any kind ofspirits, will
be the freshest of their party when they arrive,
and what is more, for the day or t,co suecee-
ding, for it is then that tho spirit drinkers

DISTRESSING OccRRUENcE.-One night last
week fire occurred about fifteen miles from
Lawrenceburg. Dearborn county, Iowa, by
which the house of Mr.. Kissel was burned, and,
shocking to relate, little granddaughter,
seven years old, was consumed in the flames
All that reiiiaihed, few bones, we're gathered
up the next day and buried. Mr.. Kissel was
so overwhelmed with grief at tho loss of the little
girl that he could not find heart to forward the
sad intelligence to the child's mother, (who
was his own daughter )living in Cincinnati,
until another casualty made the blow doubly
heavy one to her. A few days after the fire the
old gentleman Kissel went down into the we'll
belonging to the house to repair or clean it,
The air being irfipure, he was afflicted by the
damps, and drawn up corpse.-[Cin. Eng.
