EDDIcATIoN.- men up IN New
Hampshire went fishing. One was
totally ignorant Of figures, the other,
probably. had been to the Rule of Three.
After catching a large quantity Of the
fnny tribe they proposed to divide them
and return. In counting them i, was
found they had forty-nine hickory sIlad
IA small fish, very full Of bones, and
worthless and one large, fine, fat bass.
They were puzzled to know how to
divide them. as both wanted The bass.
After while happy thought struck the
man Of figures, and be told his compan-
ion he would divide them according to
the rules of arithmetic, which proposition
was readily agreed to. He then, with
pencil and paper, and with knowing
look, commenced, "Twice five is ten.
Five times ten is fifty. Forty-nine from
fifty leaves one; )" and with an astonished
gaze said TO his companion, "The bass
is mine" The other. picking up his
shad. started off, and remarked, oWbat
great thing it is to have a little eddica.

DR. LIVINGSTON AND THE CUAcHMAN.-
Long before railroads were invented. the
slow moving coach and muddy highways
often tested the patience Of both traveller
and driver. AS the Doctor was passing
from New York to Philadelphia, there
chanced to be in the stage several young
gentlemen, whose dress was better than
their principles. As the sequel proves.
they, with some of !hs same character in
our day, might learn reverence towards
superiors from the youthful Turk. They
stopped at an inn, for the purpose Of
changing horses and obtaining dinnet.--
Those rude young gentlemen conspired
secretly TO defraud the reverend divine OF
his meal. The moment the coach arrived
they hastened with all speed to the table.
and hurriedly swallowed their dinner -
The Doctor, through age, moved but
slowly, and he had barely time to invoke
a blessing and begin his meal, when thew
arose, and called loudly upon the driver
that they were ready to start, and the
time was up. "All aboard |" they lusti-
ly screamed. The driver was in the
dining room. The Doctor, saw immedi-
ately the object, and their triumph at the
thought of cheating him ou. of his meal.
With inimitable grace and Kindness. the
man of silver hair turned to the driver and
said r a
II am an old man, and hungry, and
can only eat very slowly; will YOU be so
good as 10 give me time to eat some din.
ner 70 a@3a3 'FT -
The generous nature under rough ex-
terror yielded to the appeal and he said
Eyes, sir. you may take as much time
as you wish"
"Thank you. sir; am glad that there
Is one gentleman in our number"
The youths skunk away one after auo.
ther, feeling that a poor hos,ler, whom
they dlspised, had administered 10 them
whitening rebuke for their rudeness.

MAN CRUSHED UNDER \ HEAVY SwING.-A
Young man named McMellon was yesterday,
at Falconwood, engaged in swinging some
Ladies in one of the ponderous swings erect
el at that point. Endcavoring to swing
them very high. he in pushing the machine,
ran beyond the cross-beam lying on the
ground, tripped, and as the swing came
back, it passed over him, his body being be-
tween the bottom of the box and the beam.
The heavy box struck him just below the
hips, and made a transverse rent in the flesh
of the abdomen, seven inches long, FORUM
ately not reaching to the intestines. He is
a stout man, and his body was compressed
into space of less than nine inches ii is
the greatest wonder that his entire frame,
i'm the region of the wounds, was not crush
ed to powder; and the reason, apparently,
is, that the swing must have lifted Or risen
a little in passing over him. He received
other serious wounds beside those mentioned.

those about him attempted TO early him to

THE PURCHASE OF THE HUDsoS BAY
CoNPASY's PRoPERTY-Sir George Simpson
has given TO our government memoranda
of the property of the Hudson Bay Com
pany, in Oregon and Washington, which
the Company propose to sell to the United
States for Sl,OO0,000. The company has
seventeen different stations within the juris-
diction of the United States, embracing val
liable Improvements in buildings cultivated
lands, and large herds and flocks of live
stock, and valuable forts and mills. At Fl.
Vancouver the company claims tract Of
land ten miles square in fee simple, and SIM
liar tracts at the other posts. All the places
held by the company having been selected
for their local advantages and their eligible
positions for trade, they will be the most
desirable points for towns, or for forts till
the country shall be settled The actual es-
timatcd value of the property is $4,000, 900,
besides the right to the free navigation OF
guaranteedto them by treaty. Butthey are
80 convinced that the efforts of the compa-
MES to secure their treaty rights, and of the
United States officials and settlers to re.
strict them therein, would prove a source o
continual strife, that they were willing t.
sacrifice them for million dollars.

which is matter of paramount Importance
