A good story is told by the New Haven Reg
lister of :" Bishop" who was sent down to
New York with one of his patent hy-trap
machines as a =" specimen number A butch
er was very desirious he should SCI it going
in his shop, and in the course of half an hour
something less than a peck of flies had been
g hived.' The butcher was pleased, but con-
cluded, as the flies were " all trapped" he
didn't want the " machine"
Every well' said Bishop " I'm Yankee,
and won't take advantage of you by carrying
off your aies," and drawing the slide he liber-
ated the whole swarm about the butchers ears,
and beat retreat under cover of little the
loudest buzzing ever heard in that vicinity.

to draw off their attention, and close upon them
from both sides. As the two last made their
exit, Mohawk discovered the retreating forms,
and discharged his arrow, but without effect;
when both parties uttered the savage cry, and
rushed into the contest.
The Mohawks had mistaken the number of
the Allies, and now found themselves completely
surrounded. Hastily retreating, the pursuers
were now in their turn the pursued.
Murderous yells and taunts of defiance were
sent forth by the Allies, as the Mohawks scat
tered, darting from tree to thcket and log, and
discharging their arrows as they fed.
Here again the victory was with the Allies /;
and the Wolf of thesMohawks, LEFT five of his
warriors dead on the ground.

PAYING Toll" The principal avenue of
our city" writes learned friend in Detroit,
" has toll-gate just by the Elmwood Gene
terry road. As the cemetery had been laid out
some time previous to the construction of the
plank road, it was made one of the conditions
of the company's charter, that all funeral pro-
cessions should go back and forth free. One
day, as DR.. P, celebrated physician,
stopped to pay his toll, he remarked to the gate
keeper
" Considering the benevolent character of
our profession, think you ought to let us
pass free of charge
f" No, no, Doctor" the keeper readily re-
piled, !" we couldn't affort that. You send too
many dead heads through here as it is"
The Doctor paid his toll and never asked
any favor after that.--Erchange.

RIGHT OF SUFFERAGE.-The following is too
good to be lost. 1t is often made subject of
complaint that ministers of the gospel partici-
pate in political matters. An anecdote of a
Mr. Field, who lived in Vermont several years
ago, cantains good reply:
As the reverend gentleman went, at II time,
to deposit his vote, the officer who received it
being friend and parishioner, but of opposite
politics, remarked
L am sorry, Mr.. Field to see you here
I "Why ?" asked Mr.. Field.
/" Because" said the officer, 1" Christ said
his kingdom was not of this world
Has no one right to vote,' said Mr..
Field, " unless he belongs to the kingdom of
Satan ?'
This at once let in ray of light to the dark
cned chambers of the officers Uranium which he
had never thought of before.

1t is said of Father Mablion--who, through
out his youth and early manhood, was noted
for his stupidity--at the age of twenty-six, he
pitched against stair, fractured his skull /,
was trepanned, and afterwards possessed lu-
minous understanding Perhaps other stupid
fellows might as well try the experiment At
any rate, no great harm could be done.

A New Way Of Paying Subsciptions.

q
A correspondent of the Lagrange Wing
gives the following amusing account of the way
a farmer was taught how cheaply he could
take the papers. The lesson is worth ponder
ing by agood many men we " vot', of'
" You have hens at home Of course. Well,
| will send you my paper one year i6f tie pro.
ceeds of single hen for one season, merely the
proceeds. 1t seems triaing, prepesterous TO
imagine the products, of single hea will pay
the subscription perhaps it WON'T but ] make
the offer''
Done," exclaimed farmer B-Tr--; "
agree to it, and appealed to me aslaswitness in
the affair. 80
The farmer went away apparently much
elated with his conquest, and the editor went
on his way rejoicing
Time rolled around, and the world revolved
on its axis, and the sun moved in its orbit just
as it formerly did, the farmer receiving his pa
per regularly, and regaled himself with the in
formation from it. He not only knew the af-
fairs of his own country, but became conversant
upon the leading topics of the day, and the
political and financial convulsons of the times.
His children delighted, too, in perusing the
contents of their weekly visitor. In short, he
said, L" he was surprised at the progress Of
himself and family in general information"
Sometime in the month of September, hap
pened up again in the Office, when who should
enter, but our old friend, farmer B
" How do you do, Mr.. B." said the
editor, extending his hand, and his countenance
lit up with bland smile " take chair sir,
and be seated fine weather we have
" Yes, sir, quite fine indeed" answered the
farmer, shaking the proffered " paw of the
editor, and then short silence ensued, during
which our friend B hitched his chail
backward and forward, twirled his thumbs alb
stractedly, and spit profusely. Starting up
quickly, he said addressing the editor, I" Mr.
D., have brought you the proceeds Of
that hen." 1t was amusing to see the peculiar
expression of the editor as he followed the far
mer down to the wagon. I could scarcely keer
my risjbles down. When at the wagon the
farmer commenced handing over to the editor
the products of the hen which, on being count
ed, amounted to eighteen pullets, worth a
shilling each, and number of dozen of eggs
making in the aggregate, at the least calcula-
tiQn, $3.50, one dollar more than the price Of
the paper.
3" No need,' said he, " of men not taking a
family newspaper, and paying for it, too L
don't miss this from my roost, yet have paid
for a years subscription, and dollar over
All folly, sir there is no man but can take s
paper it's charity, sir =; charity, you know
commences at home"
" But" resumed the editor, % will pay fol
what is over the subscription. will not in
stitute this as a means OF profit, but rather tc
convince you. I will pay you for

gain and I am already repaid, sir,-doubly
paid, sir. And whenevera neighbor makes the
complaint did, will relate to him the hen
story. Good-day, gentlemen.

DEATH BYlDRowNINc.-At this season of the
year we usually hear of numerous instances Of
drowning, and thiscity is no exception to the
melancholy frequency of the occurrance. Yes
terday we recorded an instance of Il young lac
who was drowned on Saturday, and to-day We
have another. These instances mostly occur
while bathing, and the sufferers are generally
boys or young men. DR.. Arnott. in his Ele
ments of Physic, states the following reasons
why, in ordinary accidents persons are drowned
who might easily have been saved:
l. Their believing that the body is heavier
than water; and therefore that continued exer
ton is necessary to keep them swimming. Now
as man cannot retain the swimming position
without continued exertion; the body raised for
a moment above the natural level, sinks as fal
below it when the exertion ceases and thu
plunge by appearing the commencement of {
permanent sinking, terrifes the unpractsed in
dividual and renders him an easier victim to hi
fate.
2. From fear that water, by entering thu
ears, may drown, as if entered by the nose OIL
mouth, wasteful exertion of strength is mad'
to prevent it; the truth being however, that i
can only fill the outer ear or far as the mem
brane of the drum, and is, therefore, of no con
sequence Every diver and swimmer has his
ears filled with impunity.
3. Persons unaccustomed to the water and il
danger of bring deowned, generally attempt in
their struggles to keep their hands above the
surface, from feelings as if their hands wer
tied while held below but this act is mos
hurtful.
4. Not knowing the Importance OF keeping
the chest as full of air as possible, the doing o
which has nearly the same effect as tying
bladder of air to the neck, and without othel
effort will cause nearly the whole head to re-
main above water. If the chest be once empteC
while from the face being under water, the per
son cannot inhale again, the body remains spec
i6cally heavier than the water, and will sink,

NovEI. CURE FOR LovE.-A new and
amusing cure for love has lately been
found, in fashionable Partisan laubourg
Vhe son of a wealthy nobleman became
enamoured Of his fathers concierge, door
pottery and determined to marry her.
The arstocratlc papa opposed; but NOV
ed at last by the despair OF his son, gave
his consent with the proviso that the
'mitten youth should go TO sea for twelve
months before the marriage. Shortly af-
ter his departure, the father, who had
previously observed tendency to embop-
point in the young intended, took her
under his especial charge, gave her every
kind of the most nourishing aud succulent
food and good wines, forbade her to take
exercise as uubecoming in his future
daughter, and, in fact, Stalled her to
snch an extent, that when the enamered
swain returned from his years voyage, he
was Mortified to find, instead of the s!en-
der girl he left, an immensely fat wo-
man, as big as two Albonis rolled into
one OF course the ruse was successful.
AMI tie unfortunate victim Of COOL cheer,

Wouldst thou forget Me.

BY W. BENJAMIN SIXTH.
Dear one wouldst thou forget me ?
When, e'er Eve been to thee
As fond. as true as e'er was man.
Now shall we parted be?
Canst thou, as, eanst thou fair ore,
Forget that sacred VOW
Thou knowcst loved thee once, and true,
Thou knowest love thee Row.
Hear not. hear not the sianderel's lounges,
We cannot from them fee;
They've uroaged nc thus, they We forced II
lips,
To speak "a love not thee
The trickling tears upon thy checks,
Spoke other words than those;
Thy heart so pure then felt the sting,
The slanderer never knows.
Canst thou say az would forget thee
When each have loved as we;-
Say what thou wilt my dying words,
Shall be 81 love but thee
