"Do you think lie will come 2" whis-
pered my father.
F." Certainly" replied Fraser. (" but hush
we must not talk, sir, time is up"
For three mortal hours did my father,
sit in that boat, and the runners lay
stretched out on the broad of their backs
upon these hurdles. watching for Tom
Rocket to come for his money and for
three mortal hours not soul approach
ed the bridge, mol sotnd but the wash
Of the swollen river was heard. By tho
time the clock strutk three. my father,
who had been nodding for the last TWEEN
ty minutes, fell back asleep as he sat GOV:
cred up in his cloak, for 1t was bitter
cold night but was speedily aroused by
hearing Fraser cry out that they were
adrift.
Adrift they were, sure enough. Tho
rope that held them had been chafed
against the sharp corner of pile (so Mr.
Fraser explained) till it broke, and
away went the boat, whirling round and
round in the eddes of the river, fit til
make any one giddy. So strong was the
stream that they were carried mile and
q half down it before they could get
ashore. Ny father was for returning
directly to the bridge, aud so was Fraser
but somehow or other, they lost each
other in the dark (; and when my
father arrived there; having run nearly
all the way, he found. to his great sur
prise, that the officers had left. He
rushed 10 the heap Of stones, and there
the first thing that caught his eye was
his pocket book-the money gone.
Lord how he did swear.
Determining to have it out with the
runners for. deserving their posts, he hur-
ried On to the inn where they had met;
and were to pass the night. He knocked
at the door. !. No enswer. He kneck5di
at the door again, louder. No answer.
He was not in the very best OF tempers.
as you may guess, so he gave the door a
big kick. In it flew AMI sight met
his view that fairly took his BREATH
Tied into five chairs, hand and foot
trussed up like so many Christmas turk,
eys, with five gags in their five mouths,
and their five pair Of eyes glazing at him
owlishly, sat the real Mr.. Fraser and
his Bow street runners. Tom Rocket
had managed the business at the bridge
himself. How he managed to scent out
the plot, and seize the officers sll togeth;
er, just at the nick of time, my father
never could find out, and no one knows
to this day.
Upon examining his pocket book, my
father found all his documents, and a
paper ON which was written these words :
"By destroying these writings l could

one of the company.

Kill your Fish.

A Frenchman who has recently visited
Hollund to inspect their fisheries, says,
in speaking of them, that being surprised
at the difference Of Dutch fish, both fresh
and sailed, sea and fresh water fish. to
French fish, the former being superior to
the latter both in firmness and flavor, he
was at the pains Of inquiring into the
causes which produced this difference.-
lie discovered that it was no accident,
but was the result of simple operation.
The Dutch kill their fish the moment
they are taken out of the water, whereas
most persons, the French among them.
allow fish to expire after enduring the
torments of long agony, which acts
upon fish precisely as disease would act,
sottening the flesh and injecting them
with principles of dissolution. Nobody
eats chickens or sheep which die by dis
ease why should've eat fish that die
by languor The Dutch kill their fish bv
making slight longitudinal incision
under the tail, and if the operation is
performed with very sharp Instrument,
it is made so rapidly the Dutch use it
even in their herring fisheries Some
other fishermen kill their fsh by thrust.
ing long sharp needle in the head.
Since we are upon the subject, let uS
express our horror at the stupid manner
in which our farmers wives and market
people kill their poultry, by cutting their
threats and losing all the blood, which
gives the favor to the fowl. In France;
where they not only cook the lords and
ladies of the poultry yard better than
they do at any place else, but where they
have finer fowls than the traveller sees on
any ather tables, they never think of cut
ting the threats Of their poultry and
losing the delicious blood. These wise
men of the kitchen stick sharp needle
into the back Of the victims head, at the
jnncture of the spinal marrow and brain.
We commend these lessons of experiences
to all our readers who may love to rear
and to destroy Mowbry' fayorites.

Disorder in Kansas.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. ga dispatch from Kan
sas City says that gang of "Jayhawkers, !"
under Capt Brown, entered Bates county,
Mo-, on Thursday last, and stole four horses
from Jesse jackson and burnt his house. Itis
stated on good authority that Gov. Medary has
ordered four companies of dragons to that re-
gion, also that he has ordered four companies
of military to be rased in Linn and Bourbon
counties, the officers for which have already
been commissioned, and that he has telegraph
ed to the Secretary of War to send on arms
and ammunition from st. Louis, which has
been done. 1t is expected that these counties
will be kept under martial law for some time
reliable person from Fort Scott represents
the acts committed there as similar to those of
the time of the notorious Murrell.
The whole country is divided into Jayhawk-
ers and anti-Jayhawkers. The former commit
all sorts of crimes, and are openly upheld by
some Methodist preachers and many respecta-
bic people. The Jayhawkers justify their acts
as proper revenge for the same kind of dep
relations and worse atrocities committed upon
them by the pro-slavery party when they were
IN majority. The pro-slavery party still
hold most of the offices, and are accused of op-
pressive acts. The old prosecutions pending
on account of the former troubles are the great
cause of dissatisfaction.
Both Houses of the Kansas Legislature met
In Lawrence on the Sd inst, and passed res
oiution to meet and organize the next day A
caucus was held to fix upon place to hold the
session. Nearly all present being agreed to
adjourn to some other place. AT night eau
Gus OF the ultras was held, and nominations
for officers were made.
