every one Of you. Now, in future, let WASH,
when II comes, have its little bout, and make
its little noise. Don't stir q muscle-don't
move lip-be quiet as the statue of Venus or
Diana, or any body Of that sort, until the wasp
seems inclined, as at this moment, to settle.
Then do as do now" Whereupon, dipping
the feather end Of apeh in the cruet of salad
oil, approached the wasp, and, in the softest
and tenderest manner possible, just oiled il
upon the body-the black and yellow, like a
green waistcoat-whon down IL fell, turned
upon its back, and was dead in minute.
There, girls" said I, "seo what kindness
little oil does"
TIE LATE MIKE WALsH.--A cotemporary
says Of the deceased Mr.. Walsh's character
for honesty always stood high in the com
munity; and although his habits and associ-
ations estranged him from many of his former
friends, yet this one sterling trait of his cha
raoter was never denied. Though his (Walsh's)
popularity was considerably on the wane and
nearly gone, yet tho intelligence of his death
was received with sincere regret by all those
who had known him In his palmy days.
A writer in the New York Post says For
few years past he has not figured before the
public, and we suppose has yielded almost en-
tirely to habits Of intoxication. Not long ago
he lost daughter, and he has left two children
living. "Of all my family" he said once in
my hearing, "not one has died in his bed-all
by accident and violence, and such will be my
fats"--a prophesy singularly fulfilled.
The Coroner's Jury returned a verdict that
the deceased died of apoplexy. -...
INFAMOUS ACT.-The Chillicothe Advertiser
OF the 18th inst. says that some person or per-
sons, between six O'Clock on Saturday evening
and before day on Monday morning, did dia-
bolical act to the railroad track, about a mile
beyond Martinsville, by drawing out the spikes
that fastened the railing to the track, causing
the track to spread when the train attempted
to pass in the morning. The freight train had
to pass over first. The engine and eight freight
cars were thrown off the track. Five of these
freight cars were completely mashed up, and
the freight scattered in every direction. For
tunately, no person was injured. 1t is sup
posed that nearly one hundred yards were
loosened by drawing out the spikes.
SHE WEEPs AND RETURNS HOME, Poor "AN-
GEL I'm the Press, lately, will be found
paragraph announcing the elopement of Mrs.
Ingersoll with young lawyer named Yeager,
from Boston, and the fact that the husband
had gone in pursuit of his truant wife. In
gersoll tracked her to Albany, NY. He soon
ascertained that his wife was an inmate of
the Stanwix hotel, and set TO work to procure
an interview. He found that her paramour
was quite unwell, and that she was engaged in
nursing him. He secured a room within
short distance of the one occupied by the am
orous pair. He sent the "haIl boy" to their
room TO say to Mrs. Ingersoll that a lady de-
sired to see her at No. 81. Mrs. Ingersoll
complied with the invitation, and raped gen.
tIy at '67-door opened wide, with fngersoll
behind it. ,
Mrs. Ingersoll walked in, when the injured
husband slammed the door shut and locked it.
We can not exactly say what occurred when
the runaway wife found herself confronted by
her legal lord and master. She didn't scream
or faint away. Mrs. IngersoH is not of that
mako. The husband besought her to return TO
his bed; she relented, and fell into his arms,
| where she remained till morning. Next day
the parties took their leave for Boston, Yeager
| accompanying them, and all appearing to be
reoonciled and happyll
FATAL AocIDENT.-We copy from the Co.
lumbus Statesman: "a young man named
Westhoven, and his sister, we're drowned in
| the Maumee River on Tuesday, the 10th inst,
| by the sinking of q small skiff in which they,
in company with a man named Chapman, were
| ascending the river. The boat first capsized
in the middle of the river, preoipitating the
occupants into the water, but was again righted
by Chapman, the only one of the party who
could swim, who got the young girl into the
boat and pushed 1t toward the shore, the boy
Westhoven cliuging to the side. But within a
few yards Of the shore the boat again eapszed,
and Chapman, who had just strength enough
to reach land himself, was unable to render
any assistance to the boy and girl, and after a
| few faint struggles, they sank together to rise
no more. On Thursday the bodies had not
been recovered, and it is supposed they were
washed away by the current" ,. $500
CHESS AGAIN.-Says a cotemporary: certain
| reverend gentleman, not thousand miles from
Chillicothe, who is passionately fond of the
"royal game" Of chess, recently had an ap-
pontment for an evening meeting. Having a
little leisure, he concluded to amuse himself
| with game or two, and repaired to the club
rooms for thatpurpOse. But, alasl for the souls
of his fock, he became too deeply absorbed in
the game, and while trying TO save his "bishop,'
entirely forgot them, although within stones
throw of the sacred place.

The True Delta, of New Orleans, says that
| Gen. Cass is to go out of office, and that Hon
John Slidell, who, "although past the sunny
side of seventy, still wears his castor jauntily
smirks at the petticoats, and cracks unsavory
jokes with as much gusto as many young bloods
of less than half his span Of life" is to be his
successor.
| Mr.. J. L. Hewett, of Ohio, publishes card
in the Cleveland Herald, denying that he was
ever concerned with State Treasurer BresIin in
populations upon the Treasury. He feels ag-
grieved at the use made of his name in the re-
port of the Legislative Investigating Com
mittee.
| The Boston Express says that Baptist cler-
gyman and his wife, who reside in that vicinity
have the pleasure of daily gathering around
their freside four daughters, who were born in
four different quarters of tho globe, viz: One
in Europe, one in Asia, one in Africa and one
| In America.
The Emperor of Japan has issued decree
which, among other liberal provisions, permits
the introduction of the Catholic religion into
the ports of Simoda, Hakodadi, Nangasaki
and Desiina, but stoutly refuses to permit the
importation of opium.
Vendetta, the Roman brigand who stole the
Madonna at Velletri, is to be executed, with six
others, on the spot. This sudden doom has
come upon him because the mail was stopped
and robbed, last week, near that town.
