"THE GRAY MARE THE BETTER HoRsE."->
The Bangor Wing relates that in the little
town of Eddington, there is family consisting
of six children, the mother of whom is robust,
healthy and active, but tho father is of quite
a different character. 1t had been arranged
that tho wifo should GO to California, and make
her "pile." whilst the husband should stay at
home and take care of tho children. This ar
rangcment was mutually satisfactory, and the
woman obtained her oniit for tho land OF gold.
On arriving at New York she found an oPpcnr-
tunity to cook during her passage out. and she
Immediately sent back to her family fifty dol.
lars of her funds, and has gone on her way ro-
joicinQ, and with the determination to get hel
share OF the gold Of California.

"On landing we were at once surrounded by
a mob Of fellows i'm white ;urbans or fez caps,
and blue cotton shirts tied round the waist by
a string, offering us their donkeys with loud
shouts. thrusting each other aside to get at us,
and blocking our way so that we could not get

" no alternative took the one who stood
immcd'a IL before mo by tho throat, shov
oil him ou, of my way. and then attacked the
next in like manner till made my escape out
of ,hecrowd. The good-natured Mussulmans
smiled at finding themselves thus unceremon.
iousy handled by an nfdel, and jumped
upon one of the best-looking of their animals
and tro,ted off through tho streets swimming
with white mud to a hotel followed by a
shouting donkey driver, who brandishcd long
stick, which he occasionally brought down or
tho quadruped's nanks to encourage his speed.

Many years ago there was in tho eastern
part OF Massach chuset,s, worthy Old ID. d., and

and good christian, yet, it must be confessed,
that hc loved good joke much better, even,
than the most inveterate jokers. 1t was before

The people stared and the minister then

"Don-woo woo,' went tho bull again, as he

The parson paused again and addressed the
choir:

THE SPIRIT RAPPING HUMBUG.
A Long Island Farmer Robbed Of $50. .O00-
.4n0ther Candidate L,paaiic .4suium.


A farmer residing on Long Island, short
distance from this city, and possessed of con-
siderable property, having his interest excited
by tho reports of the doings of the mediums
resolved to make himself acquainted with the
mystrics which they pretend to disclose, and
proceed 10 the city of Pittsburgh. where he
was introduced to professed medium. a lady
named Mrs. French, whom, after short ac-
quaintance, he invited to visit him and his FAM
lily on Long Island, and from that time (some
two years ago) until a recent date she has
been cOnst stant visitor Mt the farmers house,
where she was, at the wish Of the unfortunate
man,trea,ed as ono of the family.
A few weeks since, however, she arrived in
the city of New York. and took rooms ut tho
Irving House, where she was accompanied by
strange man. who, she informed the farmer
upon visiting her, was about writing an inter-
estng legend of the spirit land, she furnished
tho materials and matter. The ultimate effect

The medium took advantage of tho poor mans
insanity, and induced him tn adopt her his
daughter, and finally to make over to her
nearly his entire property. BY threats Of vio-
lence he compelled his gentle partner to mako
an assignment of her interest in his affairs to
him after which he proceeded to convert his
effects into cash--which amounted to about
$4,000 in ali-and this ho Immediately paid
over TO the medium ut the Irving House, upon
which the latter took French leave going, it is
reported, back to tho city of Pittsburg. Hav-
ing made frequent attempts at suicide, no fl
naily went home and his friends, with very
natural misgivings as to the propriety of per-
hitting him to have unlimited restraint, had
him arrested and conveyed to tho New York
Lunatic Asylum, where he now remains con-
firmcd Lunatc. A telegraphic despatch has
been sent on to Pittsburgh for the arrest of the
medium. Who it is hoped will not escape ''un-
whipt of JUSTICE The victim of the hellsh
conspiracy is the father of two very interesting
daughters, and has many respectable relatives
and connections in this city whose feelings
with regard to the sad event may be easily i'm
