MISCELLANEOUS.

/ Dir. FRANRLIN's ONLY SoN.-As the name Of
Franklin is ever prominently before the public,
1t may not be unnterestng to give so me &C
count Of his only son, William, about whom
we think little is known by the community al
large. Unlike his father, whose chief claim is
for the invaluable services he rendered his coun-
try in her greatest need, the son was from the
first a devoted Ioyalist. Before the Reyolutona-
ry War he held the Office Of Governor OF New
Jersey, which appointment he received in 1773
When the difficulties between the mother
country and the colonies were coming to a cFi-
SIS he threw his whole Influence in favor Of
loyalty, and endeavored to prevent the Lagsla-
tive Assembly OF New Jersey from sanctioning
the proceedings of the General Congress OF
Philadelphia. These efforts, however, did but
little to stay the tide of popular sentiment in IA
vor Of ofresistance TO tyranny, and soon involved
him in difficulty He was deposed from office
by the Wings, to give place toWilliam Living
St0n and sent prisoner 10 Connecticut, where
he remained two years in East-Pindor, in the
house oil Captain E7eneZpr Grant, near where
the Theological Seminary now stands. In 1878
he was exchanged, and soon after went 70 Eng
laod. There he spent the remainder of his
lit1, receiving a pension from the British
Government for the losrs he had sustained by
his fidelity. He died in 1913 at the age of
eighty-two.
As might be expected, his opposition to the
cause OF liberty, 50 dear to the heart Of his ia
ther, produced an eStrangement between them.
For years they had 10 intercourse. When, in
1884, the son wrote to his father, in his reply
DR.. Franklin says
''Nothing has ever hurt me 50 much, and
effected me with such sensations, as to find
myself deserted IN my old age, by my only
son and not only deserted, but TO fad him Ia
king up arms against me in cause wherein
my good fame, fortune and life were all at
stake
Ii his will, also, he aludes to the part his
son had acted. After making him some be-
quest', he adds: 'sThe part he acted against T
me- in the late war, which is OF public noto- /
riety, will account for my leaving him no more (
of an estate he endeavored to deprive me Of"
The patriotism Of the father stands forth all .
the brighter when contrasted with the deser-
t.on OF his son.

CAUCHT on THE JUEY.-The following which
We heard told as fact some time ago, is too
good to be lost, and NAV be beneficial to some
gentleman who has young and unsuspecting
wife.
A certain man, who lived about ten miles
from K -, was in the habit of going to
town about once week and getting on a rPgu-
lar spree, and would not return until he had
time to 'cool off," hlch was generally two or
three days. His vile was ignorant of the
cause of his staying oat so long, and suffered
greatly tlom anxiety about his welfare. When
he would return OF course his confding wife
would inquire what had been the matter with
him, and the invarabIe reply was ''tbat he was
caught on The jury and couldn't get off,"
Having gathered ms corn and placed it in
large heap, he, according TO custom, determln-
ed 10 call in his neighbors and have real corn
shucking iroIick. So he gave Ned. faithful
servant, jug and an order to 60 to town and
get gallon Of whiskey-a very necessary artl-
Gle on such occasions. Ned mounted mule
and was soon in town, and equipped with the
whiskey, and remounted TO set ont for home,
all bnoyant with the prospect OF fun at the
s!shucking."
When he had proceeded few hundred yards
from the town he concluded TO try the ''stuf,"
and, not satisfied with once, kept trying until
the world turned round so fast that he turned
off the mnle, and there he went to sleep and
the mule to grazing. It was nearly night, and
when Ned awoke il was just before the break OF
day, and 50 dark that he was unable 10 make
any start towards home until light. As soon as
his bewilderment had subsidized so that he couldi
get the :'point," he started with an empty jug,
the whiskey baving,,run out, and afoot, for the
mule had gone home. OF course he was con
tempatIng the application OF "two year old
hickory" or piece of twisted cowhde, as he
went on at the rate of two-forty.
Ned reached home about breakfast time, ana
..feched up at the back door with decidedly
guilty countenance.
:siFhat in the thunde: have you been al, you
black rascal, ," said his master.
Ned, knowing his masters excuse to his
wife when he got on a spree, determined 10 tell
the truth if be died for it, and SAID
s.Well, master, 10 tell The truth, acas kotch
on tie jury and coaidnf get of.

AT late school examination in Oxford, Al

Sentinel, ''was conceived by the fancy gents
present rather tight paper, and consequently
