Singular Freak.

An unmarried man, by the name OF Phil
lip Fireman, residing about mile this side
of new London, Oneida county, came to
his death few days since, by the adoption
of singular and extraordinary freak. He
lived with his mother, widow woman, and
about year ago he took it into his head
that he ought nor to eat any thing but bread
and water he lived on that diet alone un-
til about five or six weeks ago when he again
took notion that his hands were so dirtv
that he ought not cot bread and water he
would My as he inspected it in thehuck.
ct as it came from the well and some.
times he would require that several pals.
full should be drawn before he would drink.
For lorty-three days before his death he eat
not mOuthful, as his mother is positive.-
He would wash his hands frequently for an
hour at time while he lived on bread, he
would require that his part should be baked
by itself, and then he would break it off and
eat it as he wanted it. When he became 90
weak that he could not 60 out, then he
would carefully inspect the water brought
him. 1t was singular freak ; he was donbto
less partially insane, although he talked

The War i'm China.

The Boston Courier, in an elaborate ar
ticle on this subject, says:
We find some journals of responsibility,
are heartily taking up and propsgatng the
idea Of treachery on the part of the Chinese,
in the late untoward incidents at the mouth
of the Peiho. We deeply regret TO see
public opinion going off SO imp providently in
this direction. 1t is not only hasty, but err
roneous, we may say unjust, and preiudiciaI
to all interests, even those of England
Enough of wanton slaughter and destruction
has recently been perperated by England at
Canton and elsewhere in China, to satiate,
it would seem, the most savage thirst of
blood andruin. Without going back twenty
years 10 the opium war, remember that a
city larger than New York, with all its limo.
cent non combattant inhabitants, was bonn .
barded, shotted, shelled and rocketed, and
by all the available means of modern war.
fare reduced to smoking heap of confiagra.
ted dwellings and mangled corpses, upon the
pretext that Chinese officer had disregard.

known to all the world that the so-called
British flag was nothing but petty Chinese
river sal.boat, manned by Chinese Grimm.
ais, falsely pretending to be entitled to the
protection OF Great Britain.
God forbid that the same scenes of whole
sale carnage should now be renewed by
England and China. 1t would be infamous
in the relation of humanity, for the British
Government; it would be prejudicia to her
Artistic interests to plunge into another Chi
nese war; it would be to consummate in
Europe the discredt she already suffers by
having twice allowed herself, first in the
CIimea and then in China, to exhibit her
military weakness by the side Of France
And as 10 the United States, if there is to
be another Anglo French attack on China,
we do most earnestly protest against its re.
ceiviDg any aid or countenunce from either
the people or the Government of the United
States; and, to the contrary of that, we in
woke the President Of the United States TO
separate entirely from Great Britain and
France, and frankly and above board to
make common cause with Russia in the gen.
eral interest of humanity, of good faith, and
above all, OF Christianity.

not give 1t up so, and took fresh courage as
troubles appeared to thicken.
Well, we turned the raft around, and poled
her back towards the place where we had
entered this last lake. We had gone sboui
a mile when we heard the sound Of gun,
quickly followed by a second report. No
sound was ever 30 sweet to me as that. We
halloed 90 loud as we could good mary

our poles going, and had gone about half a
mile, when called La Mountains attention

Enthusiastically above the tree tops, and we
felt that we were saved. Such a revulsion
OF feeling was almost too much for us. We
could hardly believe our senses, and credited
anything favorable to our condition with the
utmost caution. Our bitter disappointment
had taught US that lesson.
We padded the raft with the end Of our
poles directly across the lake, near perhaps

Angus Cameron. l Immediately told my
story--that we came in with balloon, were
lost, and had been four days without food

fifty milos due north of Ottawa--in the dense
uninhabited forest, whose only limit was the
Arctic circle. In a word we were nearly
300 miles in due north course from Water

doing so. The clouds had all lifted from our
sombre future, and the "silver lining" shone
all the brighter for the deep darkness
through which we had passed.

A Snake for "a BcdfcIIOW.

aid, printed at Fredericksburg, tells the fol-
lowing strange tale:
"About two weeks ago, Mr.. John Elder.
Of this town had an under. sack for bed fill.
ed with straw at Kenmore by negro man.
It was brought home and placed under q
feather bed with was slept on by daughter
of Mr.. Elders. The young lady complain.
ed on a nuaber of occasions Of having her
sumbers disturbed by distinct thumps from
underneath but examinations revealed moth
ing. On Thursday morning, whilst Miss
Elder was sitting down stairs, facing the
steps which led to her room, she was star.
tied by curious noise, and looking up, dis
covered a moccasin snOke decending, pIow.
ing and Kissing in a style peculiar to the
reptile. An examination of the upstairs pre-
mises was made at once, when small hole
was discovered in the under saCking, and
on ripping the bed open the full length skin
of snake was found at the hole, which bis
snakeship had shed before he resolved on
the strike Of his freedom. The lady haC
occupied rather unenviable quarters for the
last fortnight"

The Democracy of Portage.

A more noble or harder working body Of
men than The Democracy of Portage cannot
be found in the State. With defeat staring
them in the face, year after year, they charge
on the enemy with the same ardor as though
there was possibility of success. On last
Tuesday the Democracy came out in their
full strength, and the result has been most
gratifying to every lover Of liberal views and
principles. Though defeated, they are not
.disheartened, but with all the grace and phi.
losophy imaginable are again commencing
