EV A n S VILE:
Annexation.

The citizens Of Evansville and Lamasco
will be rejoiced to learn that the Committees
of Conference for the union Of the two cities,
have agreed without difficulty upon the terms
of annexation. The conditions are most
equitable and must be acceptable to the in
habitants Of both municipalities. 1t propos-
es that the public property Of all kinds, and
the debts and liabilities Of both, shall be con-
solidated and become the joint assets and
debts of the united city, except the debt Of
the city Of Evansville for her subscription to
the stock Of the Z. & c. Il. r, the taxes for
the payment Of which are to be assessed ex-
clusiyely upon the old city Of Evansville; and
as Evansville is to pay for the stock, she is
to retain the control and use Of it for her
own benefit. This will be no burthen as the
Soad will, in few years. work itself out and
the stock will be worth its cost; when it will
properly belong and should be gwen to
those, who have paid for it. 1t ought to
be viewed only as the loan for period OF
the city's credit to the road. The following
is the report of the committee, Covering the
articles of agreement. which we annex The
arrangement was effected in the spirit Of JUS
tice and Cancellation. and with the prompt
tude and despatch OF a business transaction:

IHE HARDsHELL BEDFELLoW Sam Jenkins
IN bis young days, played so many Jokes upon
his venerable daddy that the old gentleman a
last got Wfathy and Sam had to leave, whici,
accounts for our finding him ont West. He
was great lark and full Of fun. After resid.
ing in the woods for several years he got tho
idea in his head that he would like the taste
Of the glorious lobster such as he used to get
at his fathers, so he sent by express and im-
ported some of the real articles which arrived
safe alive and kicking"
Sam had in his employ an Irshman and
his wife who had left the old country when
they were children and who had grown I'D in
the western forest as green and as fresh as the
leaves which shaded their shanty. Sam. fully
aware that they had perfect horror of any
thing of creeping kind, resolved to play a
trick upon the verdant pair Accordingly Sc.
lectng one Of the liveliest Holsters, he obtain
ed an entrance to their shanty, and deliberate.
y pulling down the covering of the bed, stow
ed away the lobster and with a smile of sat
lsfactlon made tracks and selecting a good
sitting position outside the shanty where he
could hear every word spoken in the bedroom.
The evening had far advanced, and Sans
eyes twinkled as he heard Bridget and Pat
rick preparing for bed. Very soon the light
went, and Sam, after stranglng q noisy bull
frog prepared to listen
All" said Patrick, " dreamed last night
my darlint, that we were in ould Ireland. But
what makes your feet so cowld my honey ?"
said he abruptly, something cold touching bis
legs
Sure. its your own feet that are cowld, so
they are" replied Bridget testify
Would We be after telling me that it's nv
own feet that are cowld ?" said Pat deprecat-
ingly, " don't feel your cowld feet on nv
warm legs ?"
-" Troth and it's me that feels the like too"
said Bridget, " and sure, your toe nails are af-
ther making me uneasy now ! But it bites /!
Ah all Och honey /! sure IL has me by the
leg Let go! Bloody murthers but its q
ghost . Let go with yez ?"
Here Pat and Bridget dove out of bed cry
ing bloody murther :" and Sam, choking
with laughter, rushed into the room with
light to find Pat and his lady on a table, one
armed with shovel and the other a pair Of
tongs.
oh boss !" cried Pat, sure the devil is
in the bed, aud he has claws like a needle, so
he has ! and will you look at the blood on my
legs? Oh, murther and its an ugly mouth
that he has I! The blessed Virgin preserve ye
boss, but don't go near it,"
Shut up" roared Sam what the devil
are you making so much fuss about ?" and pull
ling down the bed clothes, the lobster was re-
vealed to the astonishment of Pat and his bet
ter half The undaunted Sam picked it up.
and finally succeeded in calming their fears
Sure" said Bridget, isn't it an uncom-
mon big spither ~
"Spither !" replied Pat " diyi spider is
it sure its the biggest of all bedbugs SO it
is !"

MONEY AND MIND.-Of five hundred and
ffty-one unatics in Great Britain, there are
five hundred and five whose aggregate annual
income is near twelve hundred thousand dol
lars each.
In connection with this fact we may state
that of given number Of lunatics in Massa-
chusettS, three-fourths were Of parents, one or
both Of whom drank liquor largely Extremes
meet Tie rich, who reye in luxury and ease,
and the poor, who riot in rum, furnish the
children for the mad-house thus giving US the
strongest reason to infer, that if our race is
perpetuated in physical vigor and mental po-
wer, it must be done, in the parents, by the
practice of temperance and industry temper
ance in the indulgence of all the appettes Of
our nature, and industry in the prosecution Of
our callingS, whatever those calings may be
giving the preference always to outdoor
activities. No man was made to be a loafer &;
no man was made to be beast And he who
violates nature in either case, is working out
for himself or his children, if not for both, a
certain and miserable end

GONG WEST Yes of course, everybody is
going West We look at no newspaper now
adays, but the columns are overrun with ac-
counts of this migration. We clipped from
the Cincinnati Gazette of Tuesday notice of
the numbers going West through and from
that city, but we have mislaid it. The account
was, however, startling. One county in Ohio,
Belmont we think actually shows the depopu-
lation. We could add similar items in refer
euce to this State. A steamer left our land
ing yesterday, with large company of leading
active men of the first responsibility, from one
county, (Perry,) in this State They repre-
sent large sum of money which is to be drawn
from circulation here, and invested in Nebras
ka, somewhere about Omaha. We were told
by manufacturer in Massillon, short time
since, that he had found it necessary to doub-
le the wages paid, in order to keep anybody
to do his labor. With difficulty he sue
ceeded even then. They will 60 West. So it
goes.
Now, in what we have to say, we shall be
deemed q sort of Cassandra prophet of evil,
no doubt: but we think we see tokens of
grand smash approaching in the speculation
new raging in the West If these people were
going ont upon new lands to till them, TO raise
crops and add to the substantial value of the
national wealth, it would be a far different case
from the present Everybody is raking to-
gether their cash, more or less to speculate
with. Everybody is crazy. We read in the
money article of the ST Paul Times about
week since that money had commanded as
high as II per cent, a month IN TINT place. and
IN one instance e0hiA had fallen under tie notice
Of The edit0r Is per cent How long can such
a state of things continue
You will hear every body saying now, that
they have no doubt about final explosion,
but latter me- will get ready for it and
leave my successors to stand from under."-
Men doing a sound and healthy business in this
city and in the East, are already scenting the
breeze we know of some who refuse to fill or
ders for houses in the West, which have EN-
barked all the money they can spare in lots cities
and towns, and we refer to wait q little and
sell to sane men, rather than risk their
property in the hands of men paying cent
per cent, and more even for money to speculate
upon.
Going West. Well that is all right, but go
young man and know that you are son of
Adam and you must pay the penalty-you
must work There can be no shirking.-Pats-
burg Gazette.

A NAPOR BATH IN FINLAND.-Bayard Tay
lor, in his travels in the North, gives the fol
lowing description of q vapor bath in Finland
Mr.. Woley proposed to us another luxury
in the shape of a yapor-bath, as Herr For
strom had one Of those bathing houses which
are universal in Finland 1t was a little wood
en- building without windows A Finnish ser
want girl, who had been for some time engag
ed in getting it in readiness, opened the door
for US. The interior was very hot and moist
| like an Oriental bathing hail. In the centre
was pile of hot stones, covered with birch
bOughs the leaves of which gave out an agree
able smell and large tub of water. The
floor was strewn with straw, and under the
roof was platform extending across one end
of the building. This was covered with soft
hay, and reached by means of ladder, for
the purpose Of getting the full effect of the
steam. Some stools and o bench for our
clothes completed the arrangements There
was also in one corner q pitcher of water,
standing in little heap of suow, to keep it
cool.
The servant girl came in after US, and Mr.
W. quietly proceeded to undress, informing US
that the girl was bathing master, and would
do the usual scrubbing and shampooning
This, it seems, is the general practice in Fin
land, and is but another example Of the Unem-
barrassed habits of the people in this part of
the world. The poorer families go into their
bathlng-rooms tOgether-father, mother, and
children-and take turns in polishing each
others backs. 1t would have been ridiculous
to have shown any hesitation under the cir
cumstances-in fact, an indignity to the hon
est, simple hearted, yirtuous girl-and so we
deliberately undreSsed also. When at last we
stood, like our first parents in Paradise, - ma
ked and not ashamed" she handed US punches
of birch twigs with the leaves on, the use Of
which was suggested by the leaf of scripture.
We mounted on the platform and lay down
upon our backs, whereupon she increased the
temperature by throwing water upon the hot
stones, until the heat was rather oppressive,
and we began to sweat profusely She took
up bunch of birch twigs which had been
dipped in hot water, and switched US smarty
from head to foot
When we had become thoroughly par-bol-
ed and lax, we descended to the floor, seated
ourselves upon the stools, and were scrubbed
with soap rs thoroughly as propriety permit
ted. The girl was all admirable bather, the
result of long practice in the business She
finished by pouring hot water over US, and
then drying US with warm towels. The Firms
frequently go out and roll in the snow during
the process of the bath. | yenturcd so far as
to go out and stand a few seconds in the open
air. The mercury was at zero, and the effect
of the cold on my heated skin was delightful
ly refreshing.

CATCHING SUcKERs.-Some time ago there
lived in Vermont a queer old man named Mil
Ter. He had lost part of his palate and was a
rare specimen He owned mill, the water
of which was brought for some distance through
a wooden fume One morning an apprentice
informed him that the fume was full of suckers
Miller posted himself at its mouth placing a
large basket to catch the suckers in, while the
boy went to the other end to hoist the gate
There was rush Of many waters, carrying
Miller, basket, and all over the overshot
wheel, fnll thirty feet below. All dripping,
he scrambled ont, sputtering,-" You may
