 \ vivacious correspondent writing from New York to the Hartford Press, thus hits CIT thc new paper just started at the great Metropolis: Almost simultaneously with the entry of the Princes into our city canle out new daily call ed IHe jVo,Id. Indeed, so coincident were the two cvents that great many innocent peoplr thought there was more ill it than met the pub lie eye, and sagely snrmised that the Tycoon had established special organ in America This suspicion seems. however, to lack any real foundation. The infant newspaper is very large and very cheap, geographically neat. toerabiy pious has strong leaning I.inco!n-ward. dis plays good deal of miscellaneous learning, and corresponds with every known capital on tho globe. Rumor stoutiy maintains that it is back e by quarter of million of dollars and that it is dcteralined to achieve q success and aR influence which will make it the monarch of the metropolitan press. Nevertheless, do not be- leve that all the good people are going to stop the Tribune, nor that all the wicked ones will refrain from perusing the He1dld, nor even that many of that large class which is neither very good nor very wicked will all at once decline to pay their matutinal two cents for the Times.

Thomas Clark whose term has expired. The institution now has @ boys, and its affairs are prosperous, under the very able manage ment of the present efficient Superintendent, Dr. F. w. Hatch, and his faithful associates. The farm is rapidly improving in value, and the lScho0l is doing much towards educating and training the boys for future usefulness.

 Two young ladies of Philadelphia were lately spending the summer in northeastern New York During their visit they took several long rides with the daughter of their host, about the country On one of these occasions-as they had been travelling some distance, and the lady was warm, and as trough of running water stood invitngly by the road side-they conclu- ded to give their pony drink One of the city ladies agreed to get out and arrange mat ters for this purpose the others remaining in the carriage, and deeply engaged in conversa- tion, for some time paid no attention to the proceedings of their companion. When at last surprised at the long delay, they turned to as- certain the cause, they discovered her endeavOr- ing to unbuckle the cropper. In amazement, they inquired, What in the world are you do- ing that for?' To which she naively replied, '" Why an au,buckliag Mis strap to let Mc horses head down SO he cum drink !' l In small theatre in Ireland, the audience consisted one night of three persons, whom the manager dismissed in the following style: .' La- dies and gentlemen-as there is nobody here, I'll dismiss you all the performance of tonight will not be performed, but the performance of this night will be repeated tomorrow evening.
