Sparkling Adventure.
The following incident, not put down in the
ballad of Sparkling Sunday Night, took place
in western village of New York: ......
A young gentleman residing in this vicinity
a week or two since met with an unpleasant
adventure, while leaving the house of his d,tl-
einea, where he had been engaged in that very
pleasant occupation, yclept sparkling" The
young man was bowed out sometime in the
B" wee sma' hours" but through the darkness Of
the morning, or from the intoxication of the
parting kiss, he became bewldered, strayed
from the path, and brought up some distance
from the house, by stepping into an open well
near twelve feet in depth, walled up by hol-
low tree, which was used for Watering cattle.
There was about four feet of water in the well
where this luckless. Lothario had to remain
till broad daylight as he was unable to get
out or make himself heard, SO as to bring as
sistance,

Growing out of this refractory spirit, and
strongly allied to it, is the disposition SO gen
orally manifested BY young men to reject with
contempt the counsels of age and experience.
There is spirit of reckless independence
abroad which disdains to walk in the /" old
paths marked out by those who have gone

MONTGOMERY sCouNrY. The Editor of the
Corning Sentinel recently visited the Coun-
ty Of Montgomery. He gives the following
description: 49,
Pursued our way to Frankfort, the county
seat Of Montgomery. Reaching the summit
of the highlands Of western Adams,
Fronkfort is plainly discernible distance Of
Is miles. Shortly after crossing the line, we
descended into the rich and fertile valley of
the West Nodaway, along which as
far as the eye could reach, we beheld cult
waited farms and comfortable homes The
country is much better settled than we antic-
the Nodaway, the settlements look like little
villages. The West Nodaway, is like the
East and middle Nodaways that pass
throug Adams county, is heavily lined with
timber Passing out of this valley, the
prairie is high and rolling and well adapted
to all the purposes Of farming, but the entire
absence Of timber acts as drawback to its
immediate settlement Frankfort is quiet
little village containing about dozen fam
lilies, and like the towns of the west gener-
ally. has suffered from the paralytic stroke of
hard times" The Citizens, however, are
wide-awake, no spitable, social and intelligent
and are looking cheerfully forward to bet
ter condition of things. They have Lyceum
organized, to which they frequently resort
for the discussion of various topics, reading
of compositions, &c in which lively interest
is manifested by all, especially the ladies.
Then again they frequently assemble for
the celebration ofimportant historical events,
where they amuse themselves with toasts and
speeches All in all, the people Of Frank
fort act with philosophical wisdom, aud find
a thousand ways..of social and intellectual en-
joyment
AFToN.-The editor of the Seminal also
gives the following notice of Alton, the coun-
yseat Of Union coanty:
A FARCE number of buildings that were
under Roadway when we were there upon
former occasion, We find completed and oc-
cupied. Many ofthese improvements are of
q substantial character, and creditable to the
and energy oftheir founders No
town in southwestern Iowa advanced as
rapidly as did Alton during last season -
Extensive preparations are being made for
going ahead next summer, and it is believed
still greater improvements will be made than
in the season past.

Such i the lofty title that writer in
the February number Of the Democratic
Age, gives TO the sober state Of Connecti-
ont, and in the progress Of an enthusiastic
story relates this illustrative incident: "a
number Of years ago happening to be in
J Paris on the 4th Of July with many 9th
ersAmericans we agreed to celebrate the
day by dinner 1t the Hotel Maurice
There were seventy-two Of US in all. We
had but one guest. This was NJ. De Toe
queville, who had then rendered himself
famous by his great work upon Democra-
cy in America. During the festivities Of
the evening, after the cloth had been re-
moved, and speechifying had commenced,
some gentleman alluded en- PEASANT to the
fact that he was born in Connecticut
" Connect-de-coof," exclaimed Monsieur
De Tosqueville, as he suddenly rose with
the enthusiasm Of Frenchman. "Vy

his seat amidst roars Of laughter
he rose again, and with that peculiar ges-
ticulation which characterizes all French
men in moments of excitement, he shook
mis- finger TREMENDOUSLY over the assembled
,onfreres, and exclaimed at the top of his
voice, "Ah, gentleman, dat leetle yellow
tate you call connect-de-coot, is one very
great miracle to me-"
Come to think, Connecticut is a good
leal like the little Arabian bottle whence
