both very old, were not able 10 save
themselves by flight.

"shall we find more precious treasure

AN ARGuMENr.-A hoosier, of rath-
er scanty means, visited New York
lately, with Introductory letters, for the
purpose of buying a considerable
amount of goods upon credit. The
jobbers to whom he applied were very
courteous, but didn't exactly like to
trade.
'What's the matler9' enquired the
buyer
Nothing particular was the reply,
'only we don't much like this credit
business.
SWELL, but don't ask for only thirty
days.
Very true, but you might die, you
know
'Die!--why who the d. ever heard
of any body's dying in thirty days9

Bctting with a Mule.

A Georgia Niger "a veritable

with that struck the mule over the ears,
which made him nod his head sudden.

A Woman sent to Prison Ten Years for Muir


From the Boston Traveller, April 25.
In the Municipal Court yesterday afternoon
Mary Carney, middle-aged Irishwoman, was
brought up for sentence. The jury had found
her guilty of manslnughter, in killing one Culhi-
ma, at East Boston, first by striking him on the
head with n hatchet, and pitching him over the
bannisters Of piazza in front Of a building
Judge Hoar remarked that il was one of the most
aggravated cases which had ever come to his
knowledge either in his practice or upon the
bench, and he was surprised that the grand ju-
ry had not deemed 1t thoir duty to return an in
dctmon, for wilful murder, to which all the evi-
donco pointed The extreme penalty which the
law affixed 10 the crime of manslaughter was
twenty years Imprisonment. In this case, no
should not. he conceived, be doing his duty if he
failed to impose lengthy period of imprisonment
he therefore should sentence the prisoner to ten
years at hard labor in the House of Correction.
This is the case where man went with friend
to tho house of the prisoner, and while there was
set upon and grievously wounded. lie was seen
pitching from the piazSa, was picked up,and soon
after died

TIE FIRST OYSTER EATER.-We hardly need
recall any readers recollection to Charles Lam's
essay ON the Origin of Roast Pig. 1t has often
been said that he must have bsen a bold man who
first ate an oyster. This is said in ignorance Of
the legend which assigns the first act OF oyster
eating to II very natural cause. 1t is related that
n man one day picked up one of those savory
biyalvcs just as it was in the act of gaping. OBJ
serving the extreme smoothness of the interior of
the shell, he inserted his finger between them that
he might feel their shining surface, when sudden
ly they closed upon the exploring digit with
sensation less pleasurable than he anticipated.
The prompt withdrawal of his finger was scarce
ly more natural movement than its transfer to
his mouth. tits not very clear why people when
they hurt their fingers put them to their mouths;
but is very certain that they do; and in this case
tho result was most fortunate. The owner of the
finger tasted oy ster juice for the first time, the
Chinaman in Elias essay having burnt his finger
first had made great discovery; SO he picked up
the oyster, forced open the shells, banqueted up
on their contents, and soon brought oyster-eat-
ing into fashion. And unlike most fashions, it
has never gone, and is never likely to 60 out
