Az ISTELuIokNf VoTEE.=Kn amusing
incident occurred in the town Of Oxford
on election day. A voter whose literary
qualifications were called in question BY
the board Of seleotmen, under the ''read.
ing" law, lately passed in this State, un-
dertook to ehlighten their minds by oom-
plying with its provisions. He could
spell tolerSbly, but found II difficult 70
read. An easier place Was found and by
spelling slowly, the sense was determined
until the last word was reached, which
was governor" The Voter here came
To a full stop--a dead hanl That word
was a poser" He was requested to
spell it, He did so, but he spelled it
wrong. He was then told TO try il again.
He did so, but hesitated again. He stun
Bed among the three syllables for some
time, and at last was requested to pro.
nouneo the word. A long pause ensued.
He was encouraged TO try once more. He
then braced himself up for the effort, and
with determination in his face, he said he
could not exactly say what the word was,
but he believed il was "gornsr." He was
then told that he was "goraer" himself,
but If he would stick to his spelling book
year more. he probably would be so far
in the possession of the legitimate qualif.
cations that he could be made a elector.

ANoTHER WkRNINa.-- Much exotic
ment, " says the Herald, ''has been occa-
sionod by the sudden disappearance Of a
lady from one of the Brooklyn ferry
boats, on Sunday night. She passed out
of the ladies cabin when in the centre Of
the river, and on being sought for, could
nowhere be found. Many surmises have
been indWlged in as to her fate, and the
prevalent opinion regards her as suicide
but there are not few who attribute her
unhappy disappearance 10 some sudden
liAw Of wiudi which, acting on the para
chute Of her dress, lifted her suddenly
from her feet and sailed over the rail be-
fore she could cry for help. This is rath
or a serious subjeo. to joke upon; but the
imprudOnt owe lesson to society, and
we should never reject useful warning,
in whatever shape il may come.
