There is a law in Kentucky al
lowing any widow who has a child between
SIX AMI eighteen ySars Of age, to vote in
school district mee,ings.N
The grant by Congress Of $4,000 acres
of land 10 the University of Minnesota, will
enable that institution when in operation, 10
do vast deal for education in the territory.
The University will be erected on a site con
tanning 81 acres of choice ground.
In a town in Orange county, New York,
man and his wife have not spoken for eight
years. They work together, sleep in one bed,
take their meals at the same table, and show
not the slightest anger towards each other
The only reason to be assigned for their OBJ
stinate and protracted silence is, that each is
too proud to speak first.
The Chinese are decidedly industrious
people. The shop-keepers open at early
dawn, say sunrise, and continue digent in
business until 10 P. NJ, or after, either sell
ing, writing or counting their cash. In fact
no Jew or Yankee could have his mind more
set upon making money, or be more diligent
in his acquisition than Chinese shop keeper.
The Somerset (Ky.,) Democrat says
that child was born at that place last week,
which had but one leg and one arm. The
hand contains four well developed fingers
no thumb-.and the foot but two toes. There
are no bones in the neck or head, save
small part of the Uranium. No eyes, mouth
or nose visible.
AN itinerant quack doctor, in Texas,
was applied to by one of Colonel Hays Ran
gers TO extract the iron point of an Indians
arrow from his head, where it had been
lodged for some time. al cannot 'stract
this stranger" said the doctor, because to
do it would go nigh killing you; but l can
give you pill that will melt it in your head"
"A committee of the Ohio Legislature
are investigating a case, in which tits charged
that convict has been deprived of his sight
by the ignorence or reckessness of the peni-
tentiary physician. 1t seems that the physi-
c;an operated upon one Of his eyes and put it
out. The convict then refused to allow an
other operation, but the doctor insisted, and
now the man is stone blind.
The New BANK BrLL.-The Springfield
Nonpdrea is in fovor of the passage of the
new bank bill introduced into the Senate by
Mr.. Brazee, and says: The vote on the
bill of last winter was a miserable failure,
and thousands of people remaining entirely
Ignorant of the issue sprung upon them
Yet wherever the question was tested, large
ma iorities signifed their favor toward the bill.
Let the thing be tried over again, and tried
fairly"
The MAN WHO GOES BARE FOOTED IN WIN
TER The Auburn Advertiser says that john
Ford, one of the eccentric citizens of that
town, declares he knows the weather is get
ting colder, because his feet are so much
warmer than usual. For two winters, now,
this man has gone barefooted. He says his
feet are never cold. He wears shoes in the
Summer, but nothing can Induce him to do so
in the Winter. We doubt if another exam
pie like this can be found in the state of New
York, or indeed in the United States, except
among the aboriginees.
We are informed that letter from Mr.
Rutan in Iowa to a citiz IN of Lexington,
states that his daughter-Miss Sarah J. Ru-
tau, the beautiful young lady who took tie
premium at our County Fail for Female
Eluestrianism a year or two since,-is frozen
to death.
From other sources we learn that Miss R1t-
! an started to attend a social gathering about
, one mile from home, and the next morning
was found frozen upon the prairie. This is
indeed, terrible news, and we trust the rumor
may prove untrue.
Its said the letter from Mr.. R. further
? states, that just before writing his letter, the
last of his cattle were frozen to death-so in
tense was the cold.-Aan$feld Herald
HEED THIS, Young MEN.-That the "exces,
ses of your youth are drafts upon your old
age, payable at sight," is well exempfed in
e this humorous description of that species of

OATS" A crop that is generally sown between
eighteen and twenty-five the harvest gen
0 orally sets in about ten years after, and is
# commonly found to consist Of broken con-

J. the press to know that DR.. J. O. Aver of Lowell
(Cherry Pectoral and Catharic Pills } has as soci

y |, Snow WEsr.-A gentleman of this city
ir who bestows much attention on such matter,
70 informs us that from careful measurment
there has fallen this Winter Jifty sic inches in
. depth of snow. This quantity so early in
y the season is unprecedented in this vicinity
S. Our friend estimates that only about four in
,e ches more is to come. The snow has settlet
III down to something less than two feet in depth
y In travelling from here to St. Paul, We learr
III that the most snow is found for about on
to hundred miles in the northern part of low
US and Southern Minnesota, where it was three
or four feet deep well packed down at that
Galena Advertiser.
