For the Gazette
The following amusing instance of Irish
wit on the part of Roman Catholic milk
man in foiling the attempts of priest to
make him give up reading the Bible, was
related by DIR. bowling in an address
On reaching the milkman's humble cabin
in the county of Kerry, the priest thus
addressed him: Why, my good fellow, |
am informed that you are IN the habit Of
reading the Bible-is my information cor
rcct?'
Sure, an it is true, phase your reverence,
an a fine book it is too
But you know, said the priest, that it
is very wrong for an Ignorant man like you
to read the scriptures
'Ah,' replied Pat, but you must be af-
ther provin that same before III eonsint to
lave of
THAT I will do from the book itself
Now turn to ] Peter, xxi: \. new born
babes, desire the sincere milk Of the word,
that We may grow thereby. Now you are
only a babe, and are therefore wrong to
read the Scriptures yourself You arc told
to desire the sincere milk Of the word
aud one who understands what the SIN
cere milk is must give it you and tend you
Pat listened attentirely TO the priests
authoritative address. bnt 10 way at a loss,
replied: But be aisy, your rivereuce, while
| tell voa. i little time ago, when ] was
took Ill, got man to milk my COWS, and
what do you think he did? Why instead
of givin me the raie milk, he chated me
by putin wather into it; and if you get
my Bible, perhaps you may be aithpr serv-
in me that same No, no. I'll kape my
cow, and milk her myself. aud then shall
get the sincere milk. aud not as | might
from you, mixed with wather'
The priest, thus finding himself defeat
ed, and desirous that the mischief should
spread no farther, said in q conciliatory
tone, Well, Pat, | see You are a little
wiser than thought you; and as You are
not quite babe, you may keep your Bible,
but don't lend it or read it TO your neigh
bors'
Pat, eyeing his adlnonitor very seriously,
and eunningly witbal, replied, Sure enuf,
your rivirence, while | have a COW and can
give a little milk to my poor neiehbors who
have none, it is my duty to do SO as Chris
tian, and sayin your riyirence, | will
The priest, thinking the milkmah a tough
customer, gave up the argument and walk
ed off abashed.

byterian minister, on the 18th ult, started
from Holland to attend a meeting of the

He stopped over night with another minister
at private house. Mr.. Reed was taken with
a fit in the night and it was supposed he had
died. The other minister being III hurry
to get to the meeting in season had him bur-
led the next day. On his return from meet
ing he left word at Oxford that their minister
was dead and buried His friends went inn
mediately to get his remains and bring them
to Oxford, when to their great sorrow they
discovered that he had been buried alive
The cover of the coffin was split, and his

very worthy man. His dreadful death is
much lamented. Erie City paper.

Fatal Hoar.--A Sheffield paper says that a
gentleman in that town has received a letter
from friend in Northampton, containing the
following: " A singular circumstance hap
pcned at our union last week. For some mis-
conduct, the master put a boy for punishment
into the dead house. AT that time there was
a corpse in the dead ward. in coffin. The
boy took the corpse out of the coffin, dressed
it in his own clothes, propped it up against
the wall, and tAen himself got into the coffin,
laid down and covered himself ever. In the
course of a short time the master tamc, look
ed in at the door, and saw, as he thought, a
sulky lad standing against the wall Now.
said the master, do you want any supper?
There was no answer. The question: was re
peated with the same result. The hoy looked
out from the coffin and said, If he won't
have | will The master fled under terror,
and received such shock that it is said he
has since died from the effects.

Unnatural Nuyder-A horrible tragedy
occurred on Saturday last in Broad Greek
Hundred near Little Hill Church. which re
suited in the death Of a child. A negro wo.
man. by the name Of Purnal, on the day
above mentioned left home with the view of
attending vendue, in order to sell liquor.
She left her family of six children at home,
the oldest of which was only years old
When the mother returned she missed one
of her children. Having observed marks of
blood upon the floor, she was led to inquire
the whereabouts of the child. The children
refused 10 tell 4 search was then instituted,
and the child found covered over with brush,
at some distance from the house. The head
was cut off, as was one Of its arms. The two
oldest children made confession. They said
that the oldest took an axe and cut the child's
head off, and then made one of the other
children cut the arm off. They refused to
tell what they had done with tho arm, but it
was subsequently found concealed in the cup

TIE WINTER.

The old belief that Just about the same
quantity Of snow falls every year, only that
its distribution is considerably varied, would
seem to be confirmed by the facts of this
winter. On the northern part of this con-
tinent, east Of the Rocky Mountain chain,
including the Canadas, the fall of snow has
been unusually light. But we observe
from our European papers that the season,
in the countries bordering on the Mediter-
ranean Sea, is remarkable for quite the OPP
posite reason. Thus it is said that the
cold has been such in Italy that for the
first time. in the present century the river
Po has been frozen over at Ferrara, admit
ting for long period the constant passage
Of a man and beast. A dispatch from
Constantinople, dated Feb 8, says "Snow
has fallen, until yesterday, without any in
terruption for fifteen days. There has not
been a winter of equal severity for more
than twenty years. The snow has extend
ed to Smyrna and the adjacent district of
Asia Minor, and even the Greek islands
are clothed in white-an appearance most
unusual and remarkable"
Other accounts from Asia Minor describe
snow storms, in one of which a Greek
monastery was buried, and the live monks
| had to be excavated by the Turks. At
Malta the snow, which had not fallen since
the Russian campaign Of 1872, was some
feet high, and accompanied with hail and
tempests. The navigation with Odessa is
entirely closed, while the disasters in the
Black Sea, Sea os Marmora, and in the
Dardanelles, have been very numerous, al
though they have been mostly. confined tc

AN INCIDENT.

A nice little ''scene' took place at the
penitentiary, on Saturday. y few years
since there was sent to that institution from
Hamilton county, for long term OF years,
on the charge of burglary, an old Polish
exile: an old man who had fought bravely
for his country and liberty. In this land
Of strangers, and with no friends, the old
man had never for 4 moment entertained
the idea Of release, and patiently was toll
ing through his weary months Some facts
have recently come to light, as ] hear the
rumor. showing that the oi5 man was not
guilty of the crime charged upon him At
any rate, the Governor decided upon his
pardon. And Saturday afternoon, Gov
Chase's daughter, a fair noble girl Of sey-
enteen summers, takes the pardon and
makes her way to the prison Without
intImating her mission, she desired the
warden to ask the old Polander, whose
name | have now forgotten, to come to the
sitting room. The old man, his head white
with the accumulated burden of years and
trouble, was not long in answering the
summons. The pardon was put in his
trembling hand Oh then tie Joy. 1t

such hands The old hero fairly capered

A QUEER LAW SUIT.

The somewhat novel suit OF Mrs. Estelle
Alexandrie vs.. B. Saloy, was decided by
Judge Egleston yesterday. Mrs A, it
appears, owed Saloy 800, for which she
gave her note, secured by mortgage on
four slaves, and there was special agree
ment between them that she was to be no.
tilted when the note became due. The
note matured on the 18th ult., and was
protested, no notice being given to the
drawer, and Immediately thereafter Saloy
instituted suit against Mrs. A., with a
view of proceeding to the seizure and sale
Of the four slaves, he claiming, besides the
amount of the note, so as his attorneys
fee As soon rs Mrs. A. found this out,
she deposited the amount of the note, with
SO additional, as the cost of protest, and
refused to pay the SO, as the suit against
her, she contended, was malicious, and only
instituted for the purpose of annoying her,
and forcing her to pay costs and this un-
necessary attorneys fee. Thereupon she
instituted counter suit, praying that Sa-
10y and the sheriff be enjoined from pro-
ceeding with the seizure and sale of the
slaves that the claim of SO for counseps
fees be declared illegal, and that Saloy be
condemned to pay her $500 as damages for
his malicious action. After full hearing,
the Court sustained the injunction, and
gave Judgment against Saloy and in favor
Of Mrs A. for 500 as damages, together
with S75 as her counsePs fees, and cost OF
