MADAME D. was the happy possessor of a
magnificent Maltese Cat. NJ de c., her
neighbor, for want of better game, one day,
shot poor puss dead. Great was tribulation
in the house Of Madame D. in consequence
thereof. But Madame D., woman Of sin
gular originality of mind, had vowed venge-
ance upon the G. family, and her threat
she soon put into execution.
She bought number of mouse traps of
every imaginable size and shape. These she
had distributed abouth own house and those
of her friends. In week, by these means,
she had caught between three and four hun
dred rats and mice. She then had this live
ly collection put into large box, and drec-
ted to Madame de G. at her Chateau. Ma
dame de c. opened the box herself, thinking it
contained some dresses she had been expec-
ting from her sister in Paris. The rats and
mice made precipitate exit, right and left,
frightened madame into fainting fit, and es-
capped to infest the chateau with their trou ble-
some presence until again exterminated
At the bottom of the box was the following
laconic epistle, addressed to Madame de c.
"Madame, your husband killed my cat,
and l accordingly send you my mice to take
care of 4"

NEW HAMPTON INSTITUTION.
FAIRFAX, VERMONT.

Thrty-seventh Annivrsary.

July, 1872.
The examination Of the Mao Department occu.
pied day and half The Examining Committee
are happy to to say that in all the classes there
attempt at mere displny--no evidence Of
previous individual assignment for the occasion,
but each one was left to stand on his knowledge Of
the subject. And in the whole examination there
appeared evident marks of ability and fidelity on
the part Of the Teachers, and careful preparation
by the scholars.
Wednesday was devoted to the Female Depart
ment. Though the exercises were long, no weari.
ness attended them. The variety presented held
all delighted to the close. No show dazzled to
misead but the exact demonstrations Of science,
and the exhibitions of literary taste, intermingled
with tho exhibitions of musical talent and skill
commanded appreciation md even admiration.
The specimens Of Drawing and Painting did
great credit to that Department.
The exercises of the Graduating Glasses gave
evidence that their education had been truly
leading out of the powers and faculties Of their
minds, instead Of process ofaccumulating a crude
mass of undi gested matter. Their pieces would
classes in any college.
The entire examination was quite satisfactory to
the Committee. They little to censure, but
much to praise. And they cheerfully commend
the Institution to the confidence, patronage and
contributions Of the public

Lam. Some one has made about such
discovery as the Captain of Collins steam
er would make, if on his return trip he should
declare he had discovered America
1t is regarding the origin of the phrase,
heard among the 'Mose-s'-not he of the bull
rushes-I'll lamb you
The writer refers to this passage in Scott &
'Peverl of the Peak:
"In short, the tumult thickened, md the word
began to pass among the more desperate Lamb
them, lads, lamb them,' cant phrase of the time,
derived from the fatc Of Doctor Lambc IN astrolo-
gical quack, who was knocked on the head by
the rabble in Charles tho First's time
This unlamb-like proceeding, unfortunate
ly for the writer alluded to, is more recent
than the use of the word in its bellirerent
sense In fact, instead of being vulgarsm
it is quite classic witness the lan,bent flame
that played about the brow of Virgil's hero.
And whence have we lamb in its battery
sense, if not as every Latin boy knows, from
lambo, to hck, and there, indeed, side by side,
we have the original and the translation for
the sort OF fellow who ever talks about lamb
ing any one, is sure sometimes to descend to
coarse English, and declare he will lick him.
And now we are about it, we may as we'll
introduce the whole sheep. Almost every
body has heard some cruel Achilles of Yam
kee threaten to'mutton an offender. He desires
to do the business on an adult scale, and so
he makes finish Of the victim, and uses him
completely up.
The curious linking Of these three words
NOT one of which has any more than fam
cciful applicabilty-is suggestive, showing
how our currency of words is increased by
the baser counters of common speech, upon
which men have placed an arbitrary value
entirely different from their real worth

The "STurFING GAME ExPLoDED-Two
foreigners appeared in our streets yesterday
from Boston, with chair cushions for sale,
which they offered wonderfully cheap, pre-
tending at the same time that they were
stuffed with the best of hair One of the
cushions having been bought and examined,
it was found to contain moss and other cheap
stuhs, and to be very mean article. Inform
alton was given to the police. An officer 60
ing out bought cushion, telling the seller
to come to his office for his pay, which he did
unsuspectingly The officer then cooliy rip
ped open the cushion, to which proceeding
the fellow stoutly objected but the officer
said 81 have bought them, and have a right
to do what please with them" The cheat
in the transaction was thus exposed, and in
the Marshal's Office. The swindler was ap-
pretended, an officer despatched for the other,
who was soon nabbed.-A complaint was at
once made to the Grand Jury, who were
equally prompt in finding bill; and the
sharpers are in safe keeping, awaiting trial.

A New BIBLE ARGuMENr.-The Letter Bon
is n little paper published at Glen Haven,
N. Y, as the especial organ of the "Dress
Reform" movement. The editor is young
woman, named Harriet n. Austin The
lady INDUCES in the following editorial in
the Bor of the 18th ult.:
"Some persons who object to the reform
dress find grounds of objection in the Bible
They say women have always worn long
dresses, and neither any of the Prophets, nor
Christ, nor his Apostles, said anything
against the practice. If any argument could
be drawn from that book to Justify woman
in attiring her person as Dress Reformers do,
they would yield the point 1 was satisfied
all along that the spirit, if not the letter of
the Bible, was on our side, and am happy
to inform objectors that at last have found
something tangible on the subject; so that
those conscious persons who would fear to do
right unless they could find command to
that effect in a book, need no longer COM
plain that we women who wear trowsers are
doing so without precedent, the history of
which is found in the Bible. In the first
translation which was made of the Old Tes-
lament from the Hebrew into English, in
1899, in the account of the fall Of Adam
and Eve, when they were ashamed because
they were naked and made them garments,
the rendering is-"they made for hemseiues
breeches of fig haves." This was stated to
me by gentleman who lately saw copy
Of this translation in the possession of
Scotch Jacobite in Canada. have no doubt
this rendering is just. 1t is natural to sup
pose they would have made garments of that
form rather than aprons. Aid probably the
breeches were made something alike for
both.
$50 ours is the conservative dress, and we
must fasten upon the advocates of long skirts
the charge of Innovation"

terrible TRAGEDY IN NEVADA County,
we are informed by Il gentleman who arrived
night before last from Grass Valley, that a
terrible tragedy was enacted at Deer Creek
near that place, on the I'd inst. A DR.. Nc
Murtha owned quartz vein there, which
was Jumped by twelve men. On the I'd
inst. the Jumpers entered n tunnel on the
vein, barricaded the mouth of it with pine
logs, and declared that they would kilt the
first man who should throw any dirt in the
mouth of the tunnel. Dr. McMurtha threw
shovel full of dirt into the tunnel and forth
with one of the jumpers shot him dead with
a rifle. Thereupon the surviving brother
drew his revolver and fired all the charges,
then took the revolver from the body of his
dead brother and fired al its charges among
the twelve. The result was that four were
killed and seven wounded. Mr.. McMurtha
then gave himself up to the officers of the
law, and after an examination he was held
to have acted justifably, and he was dis
charged.

LARGE CURRANTs.-Mr. Horace Fairbanks
has succeeded IN culivating this delicious
fruit to such an extent as to secure a size al
most unbelievable. He showed us few days
since, some fifty or seventy-fve stems, both of
the red and yellow varieties. On one of these
stems there was cluster of twenty-th-ee
berries; the largest of which measured one
and three-fourths inches in circumference, and
the smallest, one and one-fourth inches, thus
making on one stem surface of nearly or
quite three feet of currants. There were other
punches, containing twenty or more currants,
and all of an enormous size. Mr. Fairbanks
does not cultivate his currants in the bush,
but prunes them and makes a separate tree of
each shoot. Whether he gets more in bulk
by this method, we are unable to state, but
one thing is certain, they are more pleasant
to the eye and agreeable to the taste,-Cdle-
donidn.

1HE BRUTALITY OF The 10TH CENTURY -
Somewhat after the manner of duelling cor
respondence, two pugilists, John Morrissey
and John Heenan, the latter known as the
"Benicia Boy" have been negotiating for a
fight. Their letters republished in Porter's
Spirit OF the Times, where it is openly an
nounced that they are to fight in Canada on
the Goth of October, for S250O side, the
exact place to be named by the editor of ga
city paper" Morrissey, who gave the chal.
lenge, closed his letter as follows;
"There has always been some objections,
however, to every proposition have made;
some little bubble that this man Heenan has
raised, with how much courage and manli-
ness leave your readers to Judge. The
above proposition is certainly a fair one, and
no man can object to it. Now, if he means
business, let him put up, or shut up, for this
is the last communication that will come
from me in regard to this fellow."
The other rufhan, in his reply, says that
he has resigned place under government in
order to accept the challenge, and concludes:
"Mr Morrissey' slang terms are beneath
my notice, as prefer to conduct the matter
in gentlemanly and straight forward man.
| ner."
Porter's SPIRIT of the Times regards the
whole as an eminently proper proceeding,
and informs us that "the cham pionship OF
America is at stake. 1t says
"At length, then, we have pitch battle
in perspective for the championship of Amer-
ca and we trust there will be no shrinking
or equivocation on either side, but that
fair, manly trial of skill will ensue between
the rival claimants of the champions belt,
and that the best man may win.
If the Benioia Boy is able to whip Morris
sey in a fair stand-up ring-fght, we hope he
| will do so, and vice versa I; let us have not
words, but deeds for all the talk in the
world is but full of sound and fury, signify
ing nothing We presume both the combat
ants will go into immediate training for the
event, which will create more excitement in
sporting circles than any which has trans
pred for long series of years. For the
championship of America is at stake and in
it every man with sporting proclivities and
manly feelings is more or less concerned "
If we did not have the evidence before us,
it would be difficult to believe in such bru-
tality, in the nineteenth century, We do not
keep the run of the sporting papers but we
did not suppose that prize-fghting came
within the range of "manly sports, {" which
we thought did not 60 legitimately beyond
horse-racing, with the little irregularities Of
cock-fghting and gambling. Whether Nor
rissey whips Heenan, or Heenan whips Nor
rissey, or each kills the other, which would
be perhaps the best result, is matter of lit.
tie Importance but it is a matter Of grave
public concern when, by the publicity which
| is given TO the encounter, a crowd of syma-
thizers are gathered around, and brutal
passions are confirmed in the old and en-
couraged in the young.-Prondence Journal

The POISONING CASE AT BENNINGTON, VT
Mrs. Spafford and the two other women, re-
siding in Bennington, who were reported to
have been poisoned by drinking coffee pre-
pared by the husband of Mrs. Spafford, are
still living, though not out of danger. A pre-
liminary examination of Spafford on charge
of poisoning his servant girl, has been made,
and he was held to bail in the sum of $4,000
to answer, and then committed to Jail to
await the result in the other cases. lis said
that the young woman at Salisbury, to
whom Spafford was paying attention, claims
to be Ignorant of the fact that he was a mar
ried man-but this is doubtful. Rumor con-
meets her in the case in most discreditable
manner; but it is possible that there is no
ground for the suspicious directed against her.
Some of the coffee sent to Albany for analy-
zation, was found to be strongly impregnated
with arsenic.

ANOTHER ARRowsMITH The London Week
iy Times is publishing extracts from book on
America, written by one DoMENEcH. The
following story about steambo travelling on
the Hudson will do as companion to the fa-
nous duel on the Georgia railroad:
During a voyage on the Hudson, in
one OF the moLster steamboats, that ply
as far as Albany, making the distance-I56
miles-in few hours, for the trilng charge
of one piastre, two contending boats weighed
anchor at the same moment, and set out in a
spirit of proud rivalry. HIS captain, not salts
fled with speed of twenty-fve-at times
twenty-seven-miles an hour, had oil and
grease thrown into the furnace, The boats
got entangled, and there were seven or eight
hundred passengers on board. At this alarm
ing crisis, deputation accosts the captain,
entreating him to discontinue the dangerous
contest. His answer has the true smack OF
Anglo American Jack-Tar courtesy -" You
be ID for what you pay Zone piastre) you
may as well 60 to h-ll fire fireman, you
there more lard in the furnace !" Their po-
sition now became fearful, when one of the
passengers put an end to it by leveling a mus
ket at the rival helmsman. The poor fellow
dropped the wheel, and fell, frightfully
wounded,

THE EGG CRoP-It is estimated that there
are l03 900 900 laying fowls in the country
of which so 0,000,O0O lay one egg a day
throughout the year; this would give the
annual crop of 1880, ,0OO,O 900 eggs, and
these at eight cents dozen, would be worth
Sl2l $500 !-[Bu6aio Express.
The cotton crop of the United States, esti-
mated at the seaboard, according to the CEN
sus of 1850, amounted to SIS, ,264.92S.
Estimated at the same point-that is ac-
cording to New York prices to day-the egg
crop ofthe United States would amount to
$3.50 oil ,666, or twice as much as the cot
ton, tobacco, rice, hay, hemp and sugar
crops of the slave states put together

BORROWING NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of our pat
rons came into the Office, the other day, and
requested US to discontinue his paper We
thought strange of it, as he had taken it for
long time, paid yearly in advance, and
came regularly every week for it. We asked
his reasons for stopping the paper in such ii
summary manner, and, in reply, he intmated
that his neighbors, who were abundanty
able to take paper of their own, did not
give him an opportunity to read it, and he
thought it was useless to take it any longer.
To lend newspaper may seem like very
triaing affair yet, in many instances, per-
son would rather give his neighbor the price
OF years subscription than be annoyed by
his continual borrowing. In this case we
are deprived of the subscribers patronage,
and the subscribers family and his neighbors
are deprived OF the paper.-Erchange,

How MANY MILES PRINTERS HAND
TRAvELs.-Although printer may be sitting
all day. yet, in his own way, hes is great
traveller, or at least, his hand is. A good
printer will set eight thousand ems day. or
about twenty-four thousand letters. The
distance travelled by his hand will average
about one foot per letter, going to the boxes
in which they are contained, and of course,
returning, making two feet for every letter
he sets. This would make distance, each
day, of forty-eight thousand feet, or little
more than nine miles, and, in the course of
the year, leaving out Sundays, the member
travels about three thousand miles
