E AN AWKWARD sCRAPE.s

Last evening handsome looking
woman was passing down West Wa

in her hand, and when : few yards
from the Menomonee barn, wss knock
ed down on the sidewalk. Her cries
brought a gallant widower to the res.
cue, who saw, to his horror, q billy
goat that evidently had horn 100 8
much, doing his best to put m. end to
the poor woman's misery. The wid-
over tried to scare the goat away, but
he wouldn't be scared. He tried to
help the lady up, when, butt came the
head of the goat against himself, and
two butts together came, for the goat
gave him another, and down he fsu
crosswise the lady, to the serious dam
(age of dozen fresh eggs. sass5a .s5.:

'Help!' cried the woman; 'smy

''Oh, my pants," cried the man.
"But, never mind the pants, get up"
cried the lady, and just as he was try
ing to get up, butt came the goat, and
down came the man again.
The cries ofthe two victims brought
quite crowd to the spot, where there
lay the woman, and there lay the man

other, osoillated the confounded goat.
The last dutt he made, one of his horns
caught the basket, aud he left the
scene of action with the basket hang
ing over one eye, and the yolk of three
or four eggs drizzling down his mag
ni6cent beard. The man backed out
till beyond the reach of the lady's eyes,
when he turned and ran like a quar-
ter-horse, swearing at all goats in
general, and this one in. particular,
while the lady sat down, and with a
piece of ofshingle, and few pins, clean

WASHINGTON DEFEATED.

Rev. Theodore Parker, not long
since expressed his qualification at the
fact that the God-like Washing
ton would sometimes get angry and
swear like ordinary human beings.
Upon the same principle, it may afford
some consolation, we have thought, to
common people, to learn from the fol-
lowing extract, that the Father of his
Country, was once a spooney young
ster-went courting and got the nit

A writer in the New York Century
says of the lady who won Washing

he had not carriage for his daughter
to ride about in: ~ 81.
~ shall go back IN her life a number
of years, and speak of the event, which
has made her name one of interest, ,a.,
Before she became Mrs. Edward
Amber, she was called Mary Cory.
Her father was Wilson Cory, ESQ,
Of Celeys, in the county of Elizabeth,
descended from the noble family of
Humsden, in England. His relative
Col. Archibald Cory, of Ampthil!, in
Chesterfield, was at his death, the heir
apparent to the earIdom. The wor-
thy old gentleman, from what we
know Of him, seems to have. been as
proud as the Cousys or the Somersets,
and to have thought his family was
the noblest in thelland. He lived in
great estate with chariot and horses
and plate and velvet and embroidery,
worthy gentleman Of the old school,
fully satisfied with the order of things,
enjoying serenely the good gifts of
Providence. His beautiful daughter
was great heiress, and had many
suitors-the accident which befel one
OF them has made her remembered in
many books. He was a young man of
very high character, relative Of G.
w. Fairfax, Esq, who lived at Bel
Ivoir, on the Potomac; and here he
met with Miss Cory, who came on q
visit to Mrs. Fairfax, her elder sister.
The, young man at once proceeded to
fall in love, WHICH he did with an ar
dor characteristic Of his nature. When
Miss Cory went back home, to- Celeys,

was necessary than tho consent Of the
young lady, and 50 the youth duly
asked a. private interview with the aw-
fal old lord of the Manor, who listen
ed tohim, silently throughout. When
the lover had finished, Mr. Cory rose
made him . very low bow, and said
that # this were young Mr. w ashing-

The American Bible Society acknowledges
donation of $4,000 from the Bible Society
of Vermont. The finances Of the society for
some time past have been very low, and the
demands upon the Society are quite urgent,
with considerable prospect of increase in tho
future.
Rev. p. II. White of Coventry proposes to
write History Of the Congregational Chur-
chcs in Vermont, and requests information
on all points of Church history, reminiscent
ces from old members, Church manuals and
any documents that may throw light on the
earlier history of churches in the State.
The Episcopal Recorder states that in those
churches whose ministers united in the great
revival movement of last summer, the confir-
nations have been most numerous.
The 5lst annual report of the Baptist mis-
sionary convention of n Y, shows an in
crease Of membership during the year ofover

Within the past ten years, as appears from
the Metropolitan Catholic Almanac for 1850,
the number of Roman Catholic priests in the
United States has increased from 500 to
2l0S the number Of churches IRON 907 to
1882. No estimates are given of the present
Catholic population, and consequently
whether this increase has kept pace with the
steady flow o. i'm migration does not appear
About $l0O ,000 were stnt to this country
in 1877 by .'lhc Institution OF t t Propaga-

one seventh of its income. The contributions
to that society from the Catholic dioccses in
this country were $4,000
