SKATING ExPERIENCE.--The editor of the Mil
waukie NeVS has been experimenting in that
amusement and winds up a descriptive article
with his opinion of skating
If you catch us on the smooth, CLASSY, chilly,
freezing, treacherous, deceitful slippery aud
lip-uppery ice again, you'll know it If any
one hears of our skating again, they will please
draw on us at sight for the bivalves and accom-
pauying documents. We have got through ska
ting. It's humbug. It's vexation OF spirit,
of business, of flesh, and tearer of trousers! It's
head humping, back aching gwearing, dan
gerous institution, and we warn people against
skating We tried it, and shan't be able to walk
for month. Skating clubs are humbug, and
all the rascaly youngsters wish to get the ladies
at it, that they may see if they, too, don't say
"He ice Is dreadfW coid ~ It's nothing to us, but
the ladies' will do we'll to let skates alone, unless
they are younger and more elastic than we are.
Oh, how cold the ice is -we can feel Il get!

EMMA HOWARD;
THE PLOTTER'S DOOM.
Astory of our own state and Times.
CHAPTER v.
LIGHT !

LIGHT
Antonio Manell and Don Alberto protract-
their drunken revel with Howard till late in
the afternoon, when they left him alone in his
room, shut and fastened the door after them,
and sought another apartment nearly opposite
the Captains office. This was a room Of
smaller dimensions, but somewhat higher, and
less rough. A rudely constructed writing g-desk
stood in one corner, near which set a couple of
elegant Office chairs-purloined for the purpose
in some of their night expeditions-in singular
contrast with their rude surroundings A small
tin lamp was dimly burning on little shelf of
solid rock that projected over the desk In the
centre of the room Was o little circular cavity
in the rock floor filled with expiring Goals and
warm embers, over which small pipe, made
for the purpose, carried what little smoke was
generated to the surface of the rocks above
In one corner stood a stack of rusty swords,
broken muskets, and disabled weapons of almost
every conceivable variety, now useless, and cast
aside till such time as they could be renaired,
or replaced with better In another corner
stood a single rife, superbly finished, and on
the desk brace af sver-mounted pistols.
So you have a sight St. Aubin way" said
Alberto, taking a seat and trimming the lamp
till it lighted the whole apartment Well-I
don't exactly understand it,"
" Let me enlighten YOU" said ManelIl,
seating himself in chair, and tipping back in
an easy attitude; "when was at St. Aubin a
week ago, ] accidentally come across our old
pal, Black Jimmy
d" Black Jimmy?" said Alberto in surprise,
:" Black Jimmy himself. But"
" But why haven't you told me this before p
demanded the Captain.
"Couldn't Cap'n; haint been possible
chance. Besides"
Besides So l thought. Antonio, lool
you, by the Gods do you think because
have favored you, that you are to have secret
Of your OUa9 Let me but suspect, and"
Hear me through" said Manelli, not il
the least Disconnected by Alberto's passion.
"Go through, then. But hang it all y
SWELL really
Antonio, why didn you tell me2 That
the question.
1t is customary, | think" said Manell
with the utmost coolness, in courts Of law
and all tribunals of an analogous nature,

With the single exception of erparte hearing
before grand jurors, know Of none other

Diplomas,
AND HOW TO GET THEM.


The shades Of night we're falling fast,
As through the College green there passed
The Senior Glass, all hushed and still,
And stood before the old " Brick MILL"
A gazing.
Their brows were sad, and damp their eyes,
While peerng at the starry skies;
Each feared the trial yet to come,
And made bargain with his chum,'
To prompt him.
In Classic hall where oft before
They'd rode their ponies " through the door
To Freshman's, Sophomore's juniors seat,
They entered now on their own feet,
Much fearing.
The Tutor drew his quzSing- glass,
And with it eyed the Senior Class
They spoke no WORD, but felt in need
OF some translation made to read,
But had none
AT length the dreadful crisis came
Each one responded to his name
twas not money, friends, or fame,
But only just little brain
They needed
The Faculty perceived the SELL"
And knew the reason very we'll
The pony trick was never told,
For they had standing, they had gold,
And so they passed.
And thus we've learned men Of fame,
With heavy purse and empty brain,
Who're dubbed as scholars, thorough, close,
And made so by an overdose
OF parchment!
Your pardon gentlemen, elite
We fondly hope this vision bright,
OF thorough training in our schools,
viii not dishearten any fools
Born wealthy.

The decrease Of expenses, it will be seen, has been
rather greater than the loss of traffic The largest de-
crease has been n fuel and repairs of freight and
track. The largo expenditures for these purposes in
1853 rendered it unnecessary in 1859 to make further
serious expenditures The result of the state nent
shows that the Company has earned net about sOO0OO
more than the mortgage interest.
