Cosr OF MODERN BELLE-An English cotemporary calculates the cost ot modern belle in this wise :--" saw her dancing in the ball. Around her snowy brow We're set five hundred pounds such would have been the answer of any jeweler to the question. "What are those diamonds 2" With the gen tie undulation of her bosom there rose and fell exactly thirty pounds ten shlings. The sum bore the guise of brooch of gold and enam- el. Her fairy form was invested in ten guin- eas, represented by slip of lilac satin and this was overaid by thirty guineas more in two skirts of white lace. Tastefuly down each side of the latter were six halfcrowns, which so many bows of purple ribbon had come to. The lower margin of the thirty guinea skirts were edged with eleven addition al guineas the value of some eight yards of silver fringe, quarter of yard in depth.
 Her taper waist taking zone and clasp togeth- er calculated to be coufned by thirty pounds sterling Her delicately rounded arms. the glove of spotless kid being added to the gold bracelet which ehcircled the little wrist may be said to have been adorned with twenty-two pounds five and six pence and putting the silk and satin at the very lowest figure, l should say she wore fourteen and sxpence ou her feet. Thus altogether was this thing oi light, this creature of loveliness, arrayed from top to toe, exclusively of little sundries, in six hundred and forty-eight pounds eleven shil lings." Many of our American bellies, we suspect, are quite as extravagant.

CoNNEcTIcUr--The friends of Temperance in this State are becoming alarmed at the in. crease of Intemperance within their borders, and are resolved upon new and spirited efforts for its check In the Eastern counties the law
 is we'll enforced. In New Haven the clergy have engaged to preach Oil the subject, and a plan is ln preparation for circulation of the pledge in all the families for signature. In Hartford, three numerous Bands of Hope have been organized, and one public meetng has been held with much enthusiasm. But at a meeting of the City mission, held on the 25th, Ill the Pearl-street Charch, Mir. Hawley, the city missionary, stated that incompetence was making alarming strides. Rev. Mir. Beadle, with others, muue an address in which he spoke of the rapld strides which lntemperance is ma king in our midst, and of the feeble attempt made to check it. Not forty-elght hours ago, he said a woman, who is d wife and a mother, told him that she went to d liquor seller and begged Of him not to sell her husband any more liquor.

pg-The Norwich Courier says the Supreme

'bg-Thc Norwich Courier says the Supreme Court of Errors decided but one case at the recent session in that city. The gist of the decision was that when our coasters are at a,,- chor in a fog or in the dark, in the track of vessels or steamers, they are bound to keep a watchman on deck constantly, and that when vessel is approaching. they shall blow l on or r:ake some signal to be heard, and that when sails are left up they must keep a good and sufficient light in snch position that it cannot be hid from approaching vessels. The master of the schooner E. Braiuard was held guilty of gross negligence in not keeping good and sufficient light in conspicuous place where it could be seen by approaching vessels, and in not having watch on deck in dark night and while at anchor in thoroughfare knowing that vessels were to pass in and out of the harbor. A schooner was sunk in New London harbor with $500 bushels of salt, by steam boat which was exonerated from loss on the ground that the master of the schooner was in fault

RICH JoKE.-The Norfolk Day Book tells a good joke about party of four fast young men in that city, who hauled bakers wagon one night last week, a mile or two in the coun- try, just for mischief. After being Jagged out they determined to end their devilment by up. setting the wagon in a pond. Imagine their astonishment, however, when just as they were about to upturn it, an unknown voice from the inside said Hold on, gentlemen. Sup pose you take this wagon back to the city again. '-and when still further, officer Nelson, of the police, jumped out and colarcd the ringleader. After short barley the officer again got in, the boods hitched themselves up, hauled him back to town, each paid fine and cost, and resolved that hereafter they will
 be little more careful lin planning their tricks, that no police officer ever hears them.
