A Rich ssSelI7,

A writer in the Buffalo Republic
gives the following interesting remini-
cence:
SIN 1888 | came to Rochester, and
was there when tI.at sublime farce was
enacted on Mount Hope. A wag al
Mount Morris found a quantity of
bear bones which he palmed off as the
bones Of Col. James Boyd and COM
pany, of revolutionary celebrity
The military took it up and completed
the humbug. A pompous funeral was
planned, and Gov. Seward invited to
deliver the funeral address. The
cheat was discovered by some of the
Rochester faculty. a day OF two be-
fore its consummation, but such was
their fear of these military mobocrats,
that they kept the secret to til, m
selves. Never had poor Bruin such a
pompous funeral. 1t is supposed that
seven thousand persons followed ii
procession. Gov. Sewarward was
particularly eloquent on this fearful
occasion.
Fellow citizens, said he, in the ex-
ordium, "there is history contained
III the mouldering bones deposited IL
that urn"
He was right. There was history.
Not of battle, blood and indian mas
sacres, but of devastated corn6elds,
murdered porkers, and unflial cubs; a
theme as fruitful and diversified, il
not as spirit-stirring and interest
ing.
In few days the secret leaked out
the Joke was too good to keep, edi-
tors wrangled, doctors quarrelled, tht
military swore, but they had no re
dress, they had been most unmercl
fully sold, and to this day you cannot
touch an inhabitant Of Rochester in 9

A correspondent in the interior

par describing a frog barometer used
IN Germany, sends us a description of
a very simple one which he has used

Then fill up the bottle with spirits Of

''A trial took place at our assizes.

A GOLDEN THoUGHr.-Nature
will be reported. All things are en-
gaged in writing their own history
The planet ard pebble goes attend
ed by its shadow. The rolling rock
leaves scratches on the mountain side;
the river, its channels in tie soil; the
animal, its bones in the stratum; the
fern and leaf their modest epitaph in
the coal. The falling drop makes its
sepulchre in the sand or stone; not a
foot steps into snow or along the ground
but prints in characters more or less
lasting, a map Of its march; every
act Of the man inscribes itself on the
memories of his fellows, and in his
own face. The air is full of sound
the sky of tokens; the ground is all
memoranda and signatures, and every
object is covered over with hints that
speak to the intelligence.

so much loveiiness. The defendant S
