1 KNEW SHE WoULD.-Deacon W. was a
staid and honest Baptist Deacon in one OF the
interior towns of New York State, who had a
vein of dry caustic humor in his composition.
The Deacon had boy of some dozen years
old who was a little ugly when not under the
parental eye. In school, especially, John was
source of constant annoyance to the teacher.
One day the mistress punished him for some
miSdemeanor, and John went home crying, to
enter his complaint, and told his father the
mistress had whipped him.
sWhat!" exclaimed the Deacon, elevating
his eyebrows, ssbeen whipped?"
"Ya-a-s," sobbed the boy.
"And did you let woman whip ye Z" shout
cd the Deacon.
ssYa-a-s, / could'n help it.''
ssWell John, you little rascal, you go to the
school tomorrow, and if Miss--undertakes
to whip ye again, you jest pitch in don't let a
woman whip ye if ye kin help it. Don't take
astick to strike with, but you may scratch,
bite and kick as much as ye're a mind to-"
The next day the boy went to school, and
emboldened by the permission given by his fa-
ther was soon brought before the tribunal of
violated rules. The teacher undertook to cor
rect him and he did as father told him. The
result was, John got most unmerciful trounc-
ing, and was thoroughly subdued. When he
went home he went to his father crying
s.Well dad got an awful bad licking to-day.''
s'What," said the old Deacon, shave you let
that woman whip We agin 20
"Ya-a-s," whimpered John. ssI kicked her
and struck her, and fit all l could, but she
lammed me orfuly.''
s;Aha 20 chuckled the humol GUS old Deacon.
ssyou tarnal little fool, knew she would, and
she'll give ye a trouncng every time she un-
dertakes it, and would advise you to behave
yourself in tuture.''
John began to have some perception of his
fathers motive, and ever after was a wiser and
sadder boy. a

Some OF our contemporaries are trying TO
induce people to say Ieecheeno for Ticino.
We might as we'll begin to call Paris Parec,
Vienna Hien, or Brussells, BruEeties. Let
those who know nothing of foreign tongues
stick to the vernacular, or horrible Anglo
Italian pronunciation will be the result. Sen
sible advice, that.

Gfas- We learn from the New Albany
Ledger that last Wednesday, ayOung lady
named Miss Ennice Cooper, living in Clark
county, about ten miles from New Albany,
to the right of the New Albany and Salem
Railroad, was struck by lightning and in
stantly killed At the time of the fatal
stroke Miss Cooper was in field about u
hundred yards from her mothers house.
The lightning struck her in the forehead
and followed the left side into the ground.
Her bonnet and clothing were torn into
shreds, and II handkerchief around her neck
was set on fire. Death followed instanta-
ncously. Miss Cooper was about twenty
years of age, and the idolized daughter OF
widowed mother. The event has cast a
gloom over the entire neighborhood.

Day~ The bridge across the canal on Di-
vision street, tumbled down about o'clock
yesterday morning. The tirnbers were COM
pletely decayed, and why it is that the old
bridge should postpone falling until that
hour of the night, when it had enjoyed SO
many opportunities of falling and killing
somebody, is quite mystery to us. 1t had
been in constant use the day before; vehi-
eles of every description, and foot passen-
gers, were passing over almost constantly.
We trust the city authorities will inspect
the other bridges, and ascertain their relia-
bility. They, too, may be affected with the
dry rot, and fall down at the imminent risk
of life.

Home Interests---Carriag Manufac'

Two or three years since the business of
manufacturing carriages buggies, &c, in
this city was limited to the smallest posi-
bic compass; the amount of capital employ
cd was trifiing, and the number of persons
engaged in the occupation quite insigniii-
cant; Whenever carriage was wanting
by any OF our citizens, the purchaser went
East and procured the desired article, al
ways at a heavy expense, and frequently
getting an inferior concern, as il is pretty
well known fact that the eastern manufactu-
rers have pursued the policy of palming OIL
upon Western buyers work that wclld not
sell to an advantage at home. In this city.
there are now four carriage manufactures,
each commanding fair share of trade, and
sending out work, which, we are assured, as
regards quality and style, is not excelled by
any of the Eastern specimens which are i'm
ported into this vicinity. Carriages manu-
featured here are invariably better adapted
to our roads than those of Eastern make,
and do not require one-third the amount of
repairs. The timber used in them is OF the
greatest durability, aud their style is of
equal beauty and finish. The siIver-plating
which embellshes Evansville carriage ork,
would be creditable to any city East or
West, and adds much to gain the enviable
reputation which our carriage-builders are
fast acquiring throughout the southwest.
We learn that nearly one hundred hands
are employed in the different carr lage shops
in this city, and that the amount tf sales of
work during the past year greatly exceeds
: that of any year previous. Goely Vaness,
+. II. DeGarmo, Gantner & Becker, and F.
Hamerstein comprise the firms engaged in
this important branch Ofhome manufactures,
and each deserve and should receive the
patronage and fostering encouragement of
our citizen. There is no necessity for
sending abroad for carriages, and putting
the money in the hands OF strangers, when
at the same time our own mechanics can
furnish equally as fine work, and upon bet
ter terms.
