OlG Virginia.

An Illinois Sucker took a great dislike to n
foolish young Virginian whe was felow-pas.
senger with HIM on one of the Mississippi
steamboats,. The Virginian was continually
comblng his hair, brushing his clothes, or dust
ing his boots-to all of which movements the
Sucker took exceptions, as being what he
termed " a little too darned nice, by hal" He
finally drew up his chair beside the Virginian
aud began:
"Whar might you be from, stranger 7"
" | am from Virginia, sr," politely answered
the gent.
"From old Virginny," l s'pose! Z" says the
Sucker.
"Yes sir, old Virginia." was the reply.
" You are pooty high up in the pictures thar,
suppose %
81 don't know what you mean by that re-
mark, sir"
"Oh, nuthin," says the Sucker, "but that
you are desp'rate rich, and have been brought
up right nice"
"It the information will crafty you in any
way" says the gent patronizingly, smoothing
down his hair, al belong to one of the first
iamilies.''
"Oh, in course" answered the Sucker
"Wcll, stranger, bein' as you belong to the
fursi, I'll give you two of the fattest shoats in
all Illinois. eft you'll only find me a feler that
belongs TO one of the second Vlrginny families -
"lou want TO quarrel with me SIR" says the
Vrginlan.
"NO, stranger, not an atom," answered the
Sucker, but | never seed one of the second
family, add I'd gin suthn to get sight at one
of 'em. know you are one Of the furst, cause
you look just like John Randolp ph"
This Modified the Virginian-the hint of a
resemblance to the statesman was flaterng t.
his feelings, and he accordingly acknowledg gee
relationship to the orator.
"He, you know, descended from The Ingir
gal, Pocahontas."
"You are right, sir" answered the other.
"Well, stranger" said the Sucker, " do yor
know thar is anuther queer thing alays puz
zles me, and it's ihis-I never seed Il Vrgnnyr
that didn't claim to be either descended from
an Ingin, John Randolph, or nigger."
We need not add that the Sucker rolled Of
his chair suddenly! They were separated un
til the Sucker got of al a landing near hi
home. AS he stepped ashore, he caught sigh
OF the Vireinian on the upper deck, and hallct
him at once with:

The REVIVAL IN IRELAND.-The extraordi

spread, now extending into every part Of Ih
ngdom, and penetrating even to Connaughl

from the New York Observer, is about to an

The WEATHER.-There was a very heavy
frost at BraIntree, Mass, Friday. aud ice
Ermed in several places in the vicinity. A
snow storm OF 10 minutes duration prevailed al
Florida, in Berkshire county, Mass.. on Wed.
nesday, and nearly whlened the ground. On
tue same day, at Bennington, VI, the wind
swept over the mountains with great force, and
was accompanied, during the early part of the
morning, with binding snow storm.
BEAT IT, VINO CAN.-Mr. Abraham Aprar,
Of Tewksbury, N. j., being offered sack of
salt weighing $50 pounds if he would carry il
distance of one mile, and 10 rest himself only
once during the whole distance, ACCOMPLISHED
the feat, few weeks ago, and didn't even
draw a long breath at it.
SHIELDS, THE JUMPER, DRowNED.-Weloa loarn
that Shields, who was advertised to lump of
the bank at Niagara Falls, on Friday, was
drowned Thursday morning. He went down
TO the water 10 try it by swimming at the place
he proposed to jump, and was drawn under wa
ter by the suction Of a whirlpool. His body has
not been recovered. This is premature end
ing Of foolish enterprise.
The aurora borealis was observed in Enc.

very brilliant.
The propretors of the Great Eastern realized

THE subject Of Spritualism certainly hath n
charm for scholarly minds. The Hon. Robt.
Dale Owen has work in press, upon which he
has spent much time and thoughtful care. in
which he will endeavor TO expose the modern
theory, or lead sober men to investigate its
phenomena.

Mr.. EDIroR This has been ,shite week
to the good people of this community. series
of religious services have been in progress, and
have been attended with very gratifying results.
In addition to Protracted and Quarterly Meet
ing, there has been u ministerial gathering,
comprising most of the preachers on the Easton
District. Sermons have been preached by Rev.
Messrs. Shippers, Hammond, Aspril, Murphy,
Brisbane, Willis and Flannery. These exer-
cses were all owned by the Great Head of the
Church, and blessed both to the membership
and the congregation. Seekers nightly indi-
Gated their desire for salvation by coming for.
ward as subjects for prayer. Several nave ex-
perienced redemption through the blood OF
Christ, even the forgiveness of sins.
The subjects presented before the Associa-
tion for discussion and eXegesis, were varied
and full! of interest. The whole proceedings
gave evidence Of much thought and careful
preparation on The part Of the members. The
meetings were very largely attended by the
citizens, morning, afternoon and evening, which
was, of course, very gratifying to the Associa-
tion. Never was there greater confidence,
kindness and courtesy shown them than on this
occasion, and never was it more fully rccipro-
Gated. We think it would be difficult to ind a
people of more refined and generous sentiments
and impulses in any community. We would
be glad to paricularize, but to do so would be
