E-WuIrplaG.--A white man, who is repre-
scented as being very peaceable and well-bchaved
person when sober. was arrested w edneSday nj ght
nn the complaint of his wife, who alleged he had
whipped her the afternoon Of that day. Mr..
-- claims to be most exemplary husband,
but states that on the unfortunate occasion refer
red to. he had imbibcd rather eely-the super
abundance Of steam. coupled with occurrence
10 which he says his wife was party. overcome
his better nature and in the deiirium superin-
duced by passion and mean whiskey he committed
the unmanly act for which he was arraigned.
Next morning. when the brutal husband was call
ed up before the Mayor, the injured wife, true to
the instincts of woman. refused to appear against
her lord alleging that he sufficiently punish
ed for past transgressions, and as for the future,
she was hopeful. Under the circumstances, his
Honor ordered discharge of the accused. lat ae-
companied the order with some most wholesome
advice, which we hope may prove beneficial to the
wiiewhipper.

II attended yeSte rday the funeral of DR.. VIM. A.
Spencer. whose death was surrounded bv some
rather mysterious circumstances. He had leen
absent from home for several days. and no one
could account for his unexplained disappearance.
At length his horse was discovered with saddle
and bride, but no rider. which aroused the most
painful apprehensions concerning the Doctors
fate. Search was Immediately made and he was
found in remote, obscure part of the plantation,
much encrvated and wholly unconscious. He was
taken home, and every expedient resorted to for
resuscitation but all proved unavailing, and in
ten hours he breathed his last.
Pulverized opium and morphine were found in
bis pockets. which some uncharitable persons have
made the ground for the report that deceased COM

Small School Districts.

Another reason why in some of the towns
of the county, the schools are not more pros
porous, and the school law is looked upon by
manyof the citizens, at least with distruSt is, that
the inhabitants or directors, or perhaps both,
allowed the towns to be divided into so small
districts or sub.districtS, as they were former
ly termed. All now agree that the schools,
or many Of them, are too small, that the mum
Der Of school houses is too great but now
the division has been made, the houses have
been built, the people have become accustom-
ed to send to schools in a certain place, it is
difficult to break up these divisions, and dircc-
tors are unwilling to act in the matter BY
making less schools and changing the location
of some, at least, of the houses, a portion of
the citizens may, and most likely will be, some
what incommodcd Houses will be erected
too near TO some and too far from others
some will be necessarily associated in school
matters with those with whom they prefer 10
have no business transactions whatever and
occasionally extra expense will be incurred iu
binding new house but n short distance from
one that would answer several years if no
change had been made. All these objections,
and scores of others render directors averSe to
making changes.
This last objection is of but little force, for

-ur WELL DIGGER; AN OVERTURE BALLAD

BY JOHN c. SAKE.
Come listen all while lrelate
What recently befell
Tuto farmer down in Maine,
While digging of well.
Vuu many yard he dug and delved,
And still he dug in vain /;
s Alack!n quoth he, d" cen water seems
Prohibited in Maine!'
And still he dug and delved away,
And still the well was dry;
The only water to be found
Was in the farmers eye
For bv the breaking of the bank
That tumbled from its station,
Al suddenly his hope was dashed
Of future liquilatiOn
And now his sands were running fast,
And he had died, no doubt,
Gut that Just when the well caved in
He happened to be out
Aha Il have a lucky thought
Exclaimed this wicked man
To Jig anew this wretched well
see pretty plan =
III hide nc straight, and when my wife
And cke my ncighbors know
What, happened to my digging here,
THEY'LL think that I'm below!
Aud 10 save my precious lie,
THEY'LL dig the well, no doubt,
Fen deeper than twas dug at first,
Before they'll find me out ~
And 50 he hid him in the bara
Through all the hungry day,
To bde the digging Of his wel
In this dcceitful way
Eut list what grief and shame befcii
THIS false, ungratctul maR,
While he silly watched to see
The working of his plan -
The neighbors with one accord
Unto each other said:
With such L weight of earth above,
The man is surely dead"
And then the wife, with pious care,
All needless cost TO save,
Said" Since the Lord hath willed 1t 50,
Fen lc! it lie his grave!'

How the Cable was Received Under
VUa%~r

low the Cable was Received Unde
Water.
A school Of mackeral got dismissed
To ponder this new study;
The alewives paused amid their drink
And thought their heads were muddy;
The Holsters turned in sudden fears,
As red as when they boiled
The whales shed spermaceti tears
Till all the sea was oiled.
The frightened soles together came
In ono substantial body:
Each cod looked bluer than blue pills,
Or " arren's Pillicoddy;
The great sea serpent wondering asked,
"What's all this stir and coil,''
The cells giant brother knew,
And stopped to see him broi.
The black hsh turned q little pale,
CAS- big As . ships jolly boat -
And trembled all, from head to tail,
The melancholy halibut;
The oysters got up from their beds,
With rather sleepy faces;
The places tapped their startled fns,
And went to OF her places.
But when the first brief message went
Through the wide water bounds
To dumbfsh straightway were transformed,
The oceans tongues and sounds,
Till (whilc old hunkers of the deep
Were wondering and gulphing)
Young swordfsh sent by telegraph
challenge to young sculping.
And when they understood the thing
The watery fun grew better,
The seals desired to stamp themselves
On every passing letter;
The grave white bears came swimming down
To inquire for Doctor Kane,
While the frightened herrings only asked,
What tidings from the Seine!
