A New GAME FOR YOUNG MEM-A new
game to this country, and one admirably
adapted to the Improvement of the locomo-
tive powers of youth, is that known in Eng
land as "Hare and Hounds" 1t is played
thus: The party may consist of say from
six to sixty or more. The locality should be
in some rural spot, where hedges, ditches
fences, etc, abound. The one Tor two, as
the case may be) most feet of foot. should
start from given point minute or two in
, advance, and start out for a good run of
some miles, climbing over, creeping under,
or jumping over any impediments that he
may come in contact with, while the re-
mainder should at the expiration of the
above time, start in pursuit, keeping IN
precisely the same course until they catch
their precursor or hare, as he is termed,
when the victory belongs TO them 1.-THE
hounds). Should the hare, however, elude
them, and reach the home goal, or starting
place, ahead of them, he is supposed to be
the victor. When the hare is good, nimble
leaper and runner, the sport is excellent,
and the better his pursuers may be, so much
more is it enhanced. 1t puts one in mind
somewhat of steeple chase, for perhaps
the hare being the best leaper, comes across
bog or pit which he can clear; the hounds
attempt to follow, and many of them fall
into the trap. So with fence or any other
obstacle. For winter sport it can not be
excelled; it is also a great improver of the
wind and muscle. 1t is very economical as
well, desideratum about these times, since
nothing whatever is necessary except good
bellows and underpinning The older the
clothes the better, 50 long as they are suffi-
ciently warm at the start, for we will an
swer for it that after six-mile run, an
overcoat will be found an uncomfortable in
cumbrance. --..

AN EXCITED MEMBER RIsEs,-At one Of
the Worcester churches, last Sunday, the
clergyman, while proceeding in a very ear
nest discourse, said that no man could be
frst-rate in two different occupations, add
ing, among other things, "no man can at the
irst-rate boot maker" Here man in the
congregation, rising swiftly, interrupted
him, and asked permission to controYert
that sentiment. He maintained stoutly that
it was not true, for he himself was irst-rate
at both clock making and boot making. He
could match the best in making boot, and
work at clock with the best man in Wor-
cester. Of-course there was great stir in
the congregation, but the clergyman soon
induced his critic to yield the floor and all
low him to go on with his discourse.

There have been a good many patriotic
offers from ladies since the war broke out
but the following beats them all. A single
lady of uncertain age, in a town at the east
ern part of the State, having pair of pill
low ticks which had been handed down from
generation to generation, offered if any one
would find tealheFs-to fill themJ (even turkey
featheIs,) 10 give one Of them to the soldiers,
reseIving the other for her own use. She
has probably come to the conclusion that she
shall never have any use for but one of them.
