Skate Courtlng In New England.

A sensitive New Engander, writing from Massachu-
sets last week, acknowledges himself caught and asks
if he not justified by the circumstances, which he
relates. Here is his case .s
{" Well sir, this Mary caught the skating fever which
is now raging so fearfuly. heard her express wish
for pair of skates and the next day she had the best
pair that could be found in the city, and nobody knew
who sent them to her. We went down upon the ice,
and there that little devilo Mary just sat quietly
down. ordered me on my knees and quietly placed that
foot, the loot in my lap and bid me put on her skate
Sir had Venus dropped down from Heaven, and bid
me rub her down with rottensone and OIL coHld not
have astonshed me than when that divine foot
placed in my unworthy lap Il felt very faint-but l
bucked on the skates and stood up with Mary by my
side. Have you ever taught woman how to skate!
No; well, let me tell you. You've seen Kaleidoscope,
with few old bits of glass, &c., in tin tube and turn
Ing it, have seen all sorts of beautiful figures ust I'M
aging kaleidoscope, and in place of beads and broken
glass; please substitute blue eyes, curyng eyeashes, lips

Imagine yourself the centre of system with all these
things revolving round You, and violet bank breathing
sighs upon you all the WHILE and you have Mary and
her victim in the first skating lesson Mary and start
she on my left arm-all square, First, Mary's dear
little gater boots present themselves to my astonshed
vision, and before have time wonder how they
up before me- feel them pressing their blessed beauty,
with emphasis into the pit of my stomach ext scene
-wavy hair, with $50 bonnet and divine head, comes
pitching into my wastcoat with such force that Ifee
the buttons against my spine. Next Mary gazes up

first attempt at driving tandem? Do you remem-
ber how that internal perverse beast that you selected for
leader would insist upon turning short round, and
staring you in the face, if to ask what the deuce
you'd be at?' Well, just you go andstry woman on
skates, that's ADJUST try it. Ah!wont you come to
the conclusion that have sundry and divers ways

The OpelOusas

The Opelousas Patriot, of Saturday last, says:
On last Sunday morning heavy thunder storm
passed over the northwestern portion of our parish
accompanied with perfect deluge of rain during the
fall OF which thethermometer stood at so deg cool
south prevailed in the evening and ali the day
on Monday on Tuesday morning light frost was
perceptible. From Tuesday up to yesterday morn
ing the weather was pleasant and delightful At the
moment OF going to press bracng norther ia pre-
vailng, which from the present indications will be
succeeded by a light frost in the morning.
The Lafayette Echo, of Saturday last, says.
The sugar planters of this parish have finished
planting their cane. Several planters, Of whom We
have inquired concerning the quality of their seed
cane told us that they have before had better
quality Of seed. ~
In the Attakapas Register Of Saturday last we find
the following account of forgery in this city
Mr.. Watson McKeralI, Of this parish, few days
respondents in New Orleans, letter advising him Of
the presentation to them of draft purporting to be
drawn by him in favor Of William Potter for about
5000, but Mr. Hare to whom the draft was presented
being well acquainted with the signature of Mr..
McKeal at discovered it to be rather illexe-
cuted forgery, and retained it in his possession This
same Potter has recently left Franklin, and as would
appear from the above transaction, if not for his
gain, at least for the good of our community. We
advise our friends throughout the country to keep q
lookout for him. as his plausible manner and notori-
Gus addiction to lying, may impose upon those who
do not know the diminntive little Englishman who
has thus made his debut as forger. s,s

A REGULAR BUSINESS TRANsAcTIoN.-Not far
from Olean bordering the Allegheny river in the
State of New York, is what is termed the i" Indian
Reservation" which formerly was and probably con-
tues to be, partially occupied by remnant Of the
tribe known as the Senacas. Some years ago, John
Titus one OF the tribe engaged to deliver number Of
pine logs to trader in the Northeastern part Of the
State, for which he was to receive five shngs, New
York currency, apiece The trader, however, upon
their delivery, refused to pay over three shilings.
The Indian exerted all his eloquence to induce bis
customer to pay the stipulated price, bnt without eff
fect-the trader was memorable. At length, finding
all arguments OF avail, John hit upon an sdmira.
BILE plan for the settlement Of the contest. Says he
to the trader: g You and me make bargain you
say you give me five shllen for my logs now you say
you only give me three. tell you what III do
well tight. # you lick me, then you give me three
shen if lick you, then you give me five shilen.'s
The bargain closed and the battle commenced
For time the success Of either party doubtful
but at length John, by coup Dc main. brought his
antagonist to the ground aud holding him down
with his knees placed upon his chest began parley;
Now you say you give me five shilien let you up
you say you give three shillen you no see today
tomorrow nor yesterday"
