A MAN WITH FIFTEEN WIVES
John Iverson was recently arrested and
imprisoned at the South for aggravated
Polygamy; he had thirteen wives. The
daughter of the jaiIor whose hospitality
the Unsuitable polygamist was enjoying
while awaiting his trial, believed him
innocent, pitied him, loved him, opened
the prison doors, fed with him, became
his fourteenth wife. After eight days Of
domestic bliss the husband disappeared,
and left neither trace nor money behind.
A reward was offered for his capture a
description of his fascinating person was
circulated, be was recognized IN a vii
lage tavern by a man who thought Of
the reward offered, and set about prepar-
ing his tolls for the victim. In order to
instil confidence into his breast he made
his acquaintance, invited him to his man.
sion, and then went off to procure legal
assistance. When he returned, his home
was deserted alike Of his intended prey
and his own wife.

EARTHQUAKES. There are actual
records, with date and particulars, of 234
earthquakes that have taken place in the
British Islands within the last eight hun
dred and fifty years; and nearly one half
of them have been felt during the pres
ent century. This disproportion, how
ever, is owing in a great measure, no
doubt, to the greater completeness and
fullness to which such records have at
tanned since the existence of periodical
publications. In the Scandinavian pc
ninsula and Iceland, during the last cen
fury and half, the number of earth
quakes has been 1924; in Spain and
Portugal, I78; in France, Belgium and
Holland together, 900; while in the ba-
sin Of the Rhine and Switzerland, no
less than 557 earthquakes are recorded
since the beginning of the ninth century,
of which 80 took place in the sixteenth,
I20 in the seventeenth, al in the eigh-
teenth, and no less than 173 in the first
half of this century. On the Italian pc
ninsula and the Eastern Mediterranean
upward of 800 earthquakes have occur
red within the last fifty years. Exclud-
/ ing these countries, there have been felt
in Western Europe, since the beginning
of the Christian era, 2156 earthquakes
of which 773 belong to the present cen
fury. These great natural phenomena
are most numerous in cold weather. Out
of 1919 earthquakes that have occurred
in the northern hemisphere, as many as

Magnificent Swindle.

Yankees osstsoitted By German Dry
goods pedlers.-About one hundred Of
the most intelligent and wealthy farmers
tn this County and vicinity were victim
lied during last week to the tune of some
fifteen thousand dollars, by a confedera-
ted band of those German worthless who
peddle dry goods and jewelry, and are
particularly anxious to trade cheap with
farmers wives and daughters.
In the present case, however, they sue
ceeded in efecting wholesale trade in
broadcloth with the farmers themselves,
the pedlers representing that they were
acting as agents of large cloth houses in
New York and Montreal, and we're par
ticularly anxious to have the farmers
save the profits usually charged by reg
ular merchants. They would sell at five
per cent from New York cost, and take
negotiable note at ninety days for the
amount; for each note so obtained they
gave a receipt, STIMULATING to take back
all the cloth unsold at the end of ninety
days, when the note would be presented
for payment and they would make a
present to each purchaser of two or three
delain or calico dresses, and table
cloth o. two. In this and similar ways
sales were effected for their cloth at s
| price per yard of fire and hGLf to sia
dollars, which turns out to be sort o
cotton and wool mixture worth about 8
dollar and quarter yard. This banC
of worthless called upon monied men
some in this village, and after having
cashed their notes, left on Saturday
morning last for parts unknown, leaving
a box of Dry Goods in pledge for thei
bill at one of the Hotels, which on be
ing opened was full of emptiRess.-St

is now protected.
Political meetings are frequent in Cal
ifornia. Senator Latham has taken the

g At picnic in CedarviIle, n. Y,
a few days since, two men named Plat
and Wilcox, quarreled about an alleged
intimacy Of the former with the latter's
wife, but apparently agreed to let the
matter drop. Wilcox invited Plat to
drink, but no sooner Lad he done so,
than he exclaimed, Wilcox, you have
poisoned me-" He replied You can't

corpse. Wilcox was also taken i'll, but
recovered. PIatt's remains will be sub

MATTERS IN CHILE. By the mails
from Panama we CLEAN items of interest
in Chilean affairs. Congress is in SEES
sion. The national income during the
year 1859 amounted to S6,264,165, be-
ing an excess over that OF 1858 of 1902,
800. OF this amount S3,950,562 was
derived from customs, and the residue
from other sources. The amount of i'm
ports during the year was S24,76l,S66,
and the exports S19,559,254. The far
eign debt, calculating all redemptions at
par, will be extinguished-the six per
cent in 1859, and the three per cent in
1877.
1t is stated that the PSI public store
houses in Valparaiso are inadequate to
accommodate all the foreign merchandise
imported into the country, as shown by
the experience Of the past year, one
hundred private stores having been rent
ed besides, during that time, at an annual
expense of s81, 800, and it is therefore
recommended that the government erect
another block of storehouses.
The receipts from customs for the first
five months Of 1860 show an increase of
$685. 34 over those of the correspond
ing period of last year.
A report made to government, on pub
lie instruction, shows that in all the edu-
cational establishments Of the country,
including the six conventional schools Of
Santiago, there are 1913 pupils receiv-
ing preparatory instruction, and 1886 stu
dents in professional and scientific branch
es.
In &c private schools throughout the
republic, 2256 girls are educated. The
total number Of children at present re-
eeiving instruction is as follows In gov
eminent schools 1882 in municipal
schools 4241 in private schools 10,l3l /;
and in conventional schools l395--mak-
ing in all 1869.

THE IRISH REGIMENT.-A letter
from Rome says:
"St. Patrick's battalion has again
been troublesome at Spoleto, and dark
hints have been thrown out that the bat
tallion viii be broken up, and the soldiers
dispersed through other foreign regi-
ments in consequence. I should hardly
think this can ever be the case without
the consent Of the soldiers themselves,
as it is expressly specified in their print
ed engagements that they are no longer
to be considered as obliged to serve if
foreign soldiers or officers are introduced
into the corps, or if it ever ceases to be
an essentially Irish regiment. The row
at Spoleto took place a few days ago,
and appears to have commenced among
the Irish themselves. Their command
ing officer, Maj. O'Reily, wished to
quiet the affair himself, and would nc
doubt have succeeded in doing so, but
/ Colonel Pimedan, French officer, who
commands the whole troops in garrison
at Spoleto, insisted on sending force Of
gendarms to establish order. a despe.
rate conflict ensued, in which many hare
blows were exchanged. The most seri
GUS injury inflicted appears to have beer
from the sabre of a gendarmes, which Gu
down an unfortunate Paddy. Genera
de Lamoriciere has, I understand, de
clined receiving Maj. O'Reilly's repor
} on the affair, the official relation of which
is to come from Col. Pimodan."

THE WESTMINSTER CLoCK.-The
new clock on Wetminster Abbey, in
London, cost the English Government
the enormous sum of $4,000. The
London Builder says, the expenditure
upon this work is enormous, and with
out considering the future cost Of clean
sing and necessary repairs, the interest
al five per cent. on the present outlay
would amount to upward of GI100 per
annum. This, irrespective of mainten-
ance and attendance, is no matter for
mirth, but would less require notice were

All raised their hands.
George soon returned, and Miss
B. thanked him for his promptness,
and assisted him about learning his

He took his book with renewed
ambition and courage, and succeeded
beyond his teachers expectations.
She spoke approvingly Of his recita-
ton; and at recess he could not help
exclaiming to his mates that
Miss B. is the best woman in the
world"
During the day, and ever after
wards, he felt that his fellow pupils
were the best fellows in the world, =
for they were so kind and obliging
to him.
After school, he told the teacher
that he deserved a good whipping for
violating the rules, and she might
whip him just as hard as she chose
but he was sorry for it, and would
try never to displease her again.
/ Miss B. talked with him kindly
told him she did not wish to whip
him, and hoped that he would not
offend again.
II you have violated our laws,
said she, aand are sorry for it; yor
+ have not only offended me, but the
whole school. I will cheerfully for
give you, and I have no doubt the
school will also forgive you. If yol
would like to ask their forgiveness
you may do so tomorrow"
George replied that he should ik'
, to do so.
The next day the school wer
much surprised to see him rise in hi
seat, just after the morning deyotionl
and ask pardon for violating tn
laws of the school.
| Miss B. told the pupils to erals

quest"
Il AL raised their hands.
"Yes, George" said she, eve a

The Election.

The following are the returns of the
election in this county so far as heard
from. In many Of the towns the vote
was unusually small, owing probably to
the fact that the day was so fine that
many preferred to get in their grain to
showing their patriotism by attending the
polls. IN Irasburgh the whole number
OF votes cast was 142, some fifty less than
are usually polled, and nearly one hun
bred less than can be brought out. In
Albany the vote was still lighter than in
our own town, though having a larger
population.
