MORAL sUAsION ON A RAM.

When friend. Of ours, whom we,
call Agricola, was boy, he lived on
farm in Berkshire county, the owner
of which was troubled by dog Wolf.
The cur killed his sheep, knowing
perhaps, that he was conscientiously
opposed to capital punishment, and he
could devise no means to prevent it.
". can break him Of it," said Agri-
cola, "if you will give me leave"
" Thou art permitted" said the honest
farmer; and We will let Agricola tell
the story in his own words. "Thero
was ram on the FARM said Agrico-
,"aas notorious for, :butting as Wolf
was for sheep stealing and who stood
in as much need Of moral suasion as.
the dog. I,shut Wolf up in the barn
with this old fellow, and the conse-
quence was that the dog never looked
a sheep in the face again. The ram
broke every bone in his body literally.
Wonderfully uplifted was the ram
aforesaid, by his exploit; his insolence
became intolerable; he was sure to
|pitch into whomsoever went nj gh him.
I'll fix him." said I, and so l did. I

FORGING PENSION WARRANTS.

FORGING PENSION WARRANTS.
In Philadelphia on the 9Th, Judge
Vondersmith was sentenced to twenty
years Imprisonment, and to pay fine
of$5 900 for forging pension warrants.
The Philadelphia Inquirer Of the 9Th
says:
This has been an extraordinary case
and involved the heaviest forgeries
ever perpetrated in this country. In
their effect they reached back to the
days Of the American revolution, and
from that period to the present time.
generations upon generations have
been fabricated, and heirs set forward
as legitimate who never had an exist
ence. To carry out this scheme and
to impose upon" the pension Office, re-
quired forgeries of the most extended
character. To meet the requirements
of the law, and the afe-guards thrown
around the pension system, it was
necessary to use the. signatures Of
Judges, and for this purpose Mr.. Von-
dersmith did not hesitate to forge the
names of those who were associated
with him upon the bench. Clerks Of
the Court, Aldermen, Justices Of the
Peace, and the name of almost every
officer known to the civil law, was bro't
into requisition, to fully carry out his
system of torgeries. The sums thus
obtained amounted to about $50 900.
and to reach it, about six hundred
names were forged. The time during
which these forgeries: were coneum-
mated, was periodiof several years,
and part Of it was occupied by Mr..
Vondersmith in posts Of honor, profit,
and position, which required men Of in.
tegrity. -. S,'-- -.

nowhere it was an accidental quality discov-
cred by tasting. 1t had all aImondy dry

TIE best is, in Xeres, dollar a bottle. The

and said that certainly the sherry wine district

there be the shade of doubt to this, let
the reader recall all the instances of perseve-

which have manifested themselves ill the

have speedily realized fortunes. If asking how

we answer ''by the advertising itself" When

dollars year for advertising, and see this con

The DIFFERENT KINDS OF THERMOMETERS
The interval on the scale between the freezing
and boiling points, is divided into one hundred
and eighty equal parts. This division is SINH
larly continued below the freezing point to the
place 0, called zero, and each division upward
from that is marked with the successive num-
bers, l. 9, 3, etc. The freezing point is thus
the thirty second division, and the boiling point
is the two hundred and twelfth division these
divisions arc called degrees. Thermometers of
this character are called Fahrenhet's from a
Dutch philosophical instrument maker, who
irst introduced this method OF graduation. The
zero of .hermometrc scale has no relation to
the real zero of heat, or the point at which
bodies entirely deprived of heat
In addition to Fahrenheits thermometer,
two others are known Reaumers and the
Centigrade thermometer. The only difference
between these three kinds of thermometers is
the difference in graduating the interval between
the freezing and boiling points of water. Reau-
mer's is divided into eighty degrees, the Cent?
grade into one hundred, and Fahrenheit's into
one hundred and eighty. According to Reau-
mer, water freezes at deg, and boils at so );
according to the Centigrade, it freezes at o
deg, and boils at 100 deg; and according to
Fahrenheit, it freezes at 80 deg, and boils at
PIP deg. In England, Holland, and the U.
States, the thermometer most generally used is
Fahrenhet's. Reaumer's scale is used in Ger
manv, aud the Centigrade in France, Sweden,
and some other parts of Europe. The scale of
the Centigrade is at present, almost ulis versal
| ly adopted for scientific purposes.
