a session of the Sons of Temperance was go
ing through an initiation, in the Arcade Room,
a sudden CONSERVATION seized the audience at
the sudden appearance of a human leg through
the ceiling overhead-and a very animated
leg, at that. Order was at last restored, when
it appeared that a carpenter, making some re-
pairs overhead, had stepped accidentally on

temperance movement.
The Willimantic journal says 1--WE are
glad to learn that the Morrow Manufacturing
Company (Mansfeld) are doing well. They

queathed $1,000 to the society of ''the scroll

Getting an elegant society edifice.
RHODE ISLAND.
1t appears that extensive swindling opera
tions have been carried on in Rhode Island,
under the bounty system. The number of
''paper recruits that have been furnished
from surgeons and recruiting officers amounts
to hundreds and the amount of money out of
which the state, or the towns, or both (for it
is not certain yet where the loss will fall) have
been swinded to many thousand dollars. De-
veopments thus far made indicate that the city
of Newport, and the towns of Scituate, Exc
ter, Hopkinton, Tiverton, Portsmouth, Mid
dletown, South KingStown, and Westerly,
have been ''gulled," and perhaps others.
Three arrests have been made, and the pro-
vost marshal intends to probe the matter to
the bottom.
In Westerly, fire was discovered Friday
morning about o'clock in a building owned
by Joseph Alcorn and occupied by w. Il.
Williams, bootmaker; George Wheeler, meat
market, and Nathan Newbury, confectionery
Mr.. Williams loss is about 500, no insur-
ance; Messrs. Newbury and Wheeler's loss is
slight; damage to the building about $3.50, in
sured.
MISCELLANEOUS.
A correspondent of the New York Post, re-
ferring to DIR. Bellows remarks on the small
hands and feet of the southerners, says II
do not believe that the hands and feet of
Apollo or of Jupiter are small, and know
that the hand of providence isn't-and these
marvellous T. F.'s are certainly not higher
than the heavens and they that dwell therein"
The seat of S. S. Cox, reported elected to
congress from Ohio will be contested by Hon.
Samuel Shellabarger, on account of frauds
perpetrated in Columbus.
Mr.. William c. Dunn, of Pleasant town
ship, Laporte county, Ind, was drafted, but
made money by the event. He belonged to
an organization in Laporte which was formed
for the relief of those of its members who
might be drafted. One thousand and forty
dollars were paid in, which was to be divided
pro rata among those of its members who
might be drafted. Mr. Dunn was the only
man, and hence will get the whole amount.
There seems to be an organized opposition
to the draft in several counties in Pennsylva-
MIA. In Bucks county many of the drafted
men openly declare that they will not obey
any summons to appear, and the inhabitants
of Milford, in body, refused to attend the
draft.
While Mrs. Mccain OF Williamsburg, L. l.,
was on her journey to Oswego, on Friday,

parel, her money, tickets and baggage checks.
Kindness supplied her with ticket to Oswego,
and she resumed her journey with her dead
babe in her arms.
