MUSK IN A MICHIGAN TAVERN.

A short time since gentleman and lady
were travelling in Michigan, and having miss
ed the stage, were compelled to take prl-
vate conveyance from the town of Scuderl
to Thomastowu. The lady had with her
a beautiful little lap:dog, which she carried
on her lap on an embroidered mat During
the ride the husband discovered that he had
nohandkerchief when the1ady lent him hers,
which was fashionably scented with musk.
About half way between the two towns the
carriage broke down in the midst of hard
rain, and they were obliged to take refuge
in the halfway house-a cone horse log
tavern, consisting of two rooms-a bar-room
and a lodging room. The lady laid her lap
dog on its mat before the FIRE, and herself
and husband took seats. H. short time the
gentleman had an occasion tG nse his hand
kerchief, and took it out, leaving it lying on
his knee when he got through with it. In
few moments the landlord opened the
door, put his head in, looked around and
went out, came in gazed at the dog-his
nostrils all the while upturned in intense
disgust He finally appeared satisfied, went
to the outside door, opened it, came back
with bound, seized the lap. dog by the tail;
and hurled him bowling through the door
full ten rods into the forest. The wife faint
ed !; the husband rose to his feet, terribly
enraged, and wanted to know what he did
that for. "That's my dog" continued he,
furiously. "Don't care cuss whose dog it
is" said the man, gruf1y and impetuousy; !;
II amt going to have 10 such blasted smell
ling varmiut around my tavern" The hus-
band and wife evacuated the house instantly,
and proceeded on their way in the rain.

ALEssoN FOR SUICIDAL LOVERS.


Richard Gould is journeyman harness
maker of this city, says the Cincinnati Ga
zette, of Wednesday, and was himself harness
ed by Cupid, aud driven up to the very gates
of desperation. His enslaver is lady ma
med Charlotte Matthews whose mother keeps
a boarding house on Elm street, and who
appears to have made up her mind to some
more brilliant alliance than that offered by
Mr.. Gould. But as Richard has very good
opinion of his own merits and qualifications,
be judged that Charlottes GOODNESS was mere
coquetry, believing that when it came to the
scratch she would cave in at moments warn
ing.
He resolved to meet at once the soul of
the artful nymph, AMI to surprise her into
an avowal of her real feelings. For this
purpose, he proceeded about twenty min
utes past FIVE o'clock yesterday afternoon. to
the dwelling of Mrs. Mathews, and stretch
ed himself out upon the front door steps,
holding in his hand an empty phial, upon
which he had pasted label, upon which
"strlcnulne WAS priuteu.
"Now, there will be an affecting scene
when my captivating Catherine comes out; )"
soliloquised Mr.. Gould, as he closed his
eyes and composed his features to corpse
like immobility. Presently Miss Matthews
appeared at the door, with broom in her
hand for the purpose Of sweeping the steps,
On seeing the recumbent Richard, she ut
tered an exclamation of surprise, and tried
to stir him up with the broom'stick; but
finding that he did not move, she called out,
"Mother, mother! here is Dick Gould coiled
up on our steps, and don't know what a'ls
him"
"Dead drunk, T guess" said Mrs. Mat
thews, as she also come to the front door
"Now, I DO declare if he hasn't kicked the
bucket in reality" said Miss Charlotte. spy
ing the bottle, and taking it out of Richard
Goulds hand. "See, the fool has been ta-
king strychnine!'
"Poor sonl!" sighed the benevolent old
lady, chow natural he looks"
"He looks about as we'll as he did when
he was alive" observed Charlotte, sand
that's not saying much of his beauty. He
never could hold candle to Jimmy Hick-
man, at any time" This Mr.. Hickman is
a spruce young clerk who boards with Mrs.
Matthews, and who happened to come home
at the very juncture.
When he saw the supposed corpse, James
offered to 90 for the coroner, to hold an in.
quest over "the poor devil" as he called
Mr.. Gould. "Well, I don't like the notion
of having coroner and jury over fellow
here" said Mrs. Matthews.
"No," added Charlotte, 'just drag the
nasty creature on the cellar door of the next
house, sn6 then wash your hands and come
into supper"
Mr.. Hickman took the corpse by the feet,
to do as he was directed, when Gould dealt
him kick which doubled him up like
jack-knife. The ladies shrieked, and Mr.
Gould, starting up, was beginning to uPbrald
Charlotte for hardness of heart, when the
arrival of a policeman interrupted his oratory,
and he walked away, ga saddcr and wiser
man."

A DISTINCTION AND A DIFFERENCE. -
A magistrate in Southwark, Philadelphia,
was greatly puzzled short time since with
the following item in bill, on which he
was about issuing summons:
s7o stealing. one ace 81 cents
How is this, SIR said 'old frizzle wig
with indignation, dye charge man three
levys for stealing his axe?'
do that sir, said the plaintiff, submissive
", 'aud very reasonable it is
Reasonable you william, don't you know
it will take you to the State prison?'
BLESS my soul = exclaimed the alarmed
suitor, do you call that jest9'
NO, I call it earnest; and SO you'll end
itunless you give Mr.. Robinson his axe again.
why, I was done with it, and guv it to
him two weeks ago.
Then you may thank your stars he did
not prosecute you!
Prosecute me! I ought to have sued
him before; he was very provoking when
ax'd him for the money, and wanted to
fub me off with a quarter and ftp
Put him out said the justice to con-
stable, he's the most barefaced rascal that |
ever met with. Steal mans axe, and
wants to be paid for it!'
The constable hinted that his honor had
mistaken the case. 1t was for steeling the
axe, that is putting steel on the edge of it,
that the charge was made.
oh, ay sure enough, said the squire ::
ssee what it is to want education. Never
make out another bill Mr.. Bellows, without
a dictionary at your elbow. 1t may get you

them with amen.

Particulars of the Shooting at Columbia


BY private letter from friend who re-
sides near Columbia Hill, ia small mining vii
lage, in Nevada county, eight miles east Of
North San Juan,) we learn that in the case
of the killing there, on last Sunday afternoon,
(March eth a Coroner's inquest was held in
the evening, by Justice Samuel McBrown,
which elected the following facts: Thomas
and Sydney Richardson are brothers, and
keep bachelors hall in a small house in Co

for their peaceful and industrious habits and
for their intelligence and educational attain

some others Jumped" mining claim OF
which Sydney Richardson was half pro
| prietor and, on being served by that gentle
man with formal notice to quit, West and
his partners resisted with force and drove
Mr.. Richardson off the ground On the af-
ternoon Of Sunday last, the deceased came
into Columbia Hill, considerably intoxicated,
and swore that he would "clean out" the
Richardson's. He proceeded to the house,
occupied by the brothers, and, upon entering
it was instantly and somewhat roughly ejec.

afterwards Thomas Richardson opened the

noted for the abundance and richness of its
mining ground and the intelligence, indus
