A SruRR,So SroEr.-Many years ago, In
England, when travellers were wont to Jour.
ney on horseback, and sleep two in bed
at the taverns. the following droll incident
occurred at Chester:
Two young bloods stopped at the Red
Fox tavern, and while going up to bed late
at night Gt being hot weather) they discov.
cred the door Of one OF the bed rooms open.
1t so happened that Scotchman and Irish.
man were both asleep in the same bed, and
the Irisll,nan had kicked the kivvcr Of"
and one Of his legs lay naked and nearly
out Of bed. "rll have some sport now"
said one Of the bloods to his mate, ''if
you'll hold the light minute" The can
die was held while the young chap went in,
and taking up the lrishman's s spurs, buckicd
it on the heel of Paddy's naked foot. He
then gave Paddy's leg a pinch, and hid
himself behind the door. Paddy, though
not awakened, drew his leg suddendly
back, and in this way sadly damaged the
Scotchman's naked leg with the spur.
"The de'el d-n you," exclaimed Donald,
rubbing his leg, '.an' ef ye dinns gang out
o'bed and cut yer toe nails, I'll soon be
gettin' up and trow yer oot the window,
yer loot" The Irishman still slept sound,
ly and soon put his foot back ia its old
position, when the young joker who had
put on the spur stole up to the bed and
Pinched his leg the second time. In went
the leg again, the spur striking the Scotch.
mans leg, who now got in a terrible pas.
sion, and begun to pummel Paddy, exclaim-
ing as usual, "Get oot O. bed and cut yer
toe nails, ye loot do you fash Christian
mon to STAN such rough diggin' This
walked up the Irishman, who at that mo-
nent bringing the spur to bear on his own
other leg, vaulted out of bed. Having pro.
CURED light he looked down at the spur
with the greatest astonishment. ''By me
sowl !" said he, "what stupid fool is the
ostler of this inn; sure and he took off me
boots whin I went to bed, and has left on
one Of me spurs. Strange it is I didn't
notice it," This explanation being salts.
factory to Donald, harmony was restored,
while the author Of the mischief sneaked
out of the room to his own nest.

Dringeth their whispers to me;

A GALENA IlEN.-The people Of Galena
have been much excited during the last ten
days, by the discovered frailty Of one Of
their preachers. The gentleman referred
to has not been long in the city, but has
improved his time, and few weeks ago
was married to a daughter Of one Of the
most highly respected men in the place,
she being his fourth wife. A few days ago
the wife suspected collusion--to use no
harsher phrase--between her husband and
her servant girl. To confirm her suspicious
she resorted to little expedient Of making
visit to some friends in the country, with
the intention, as her husband supposed, Of
remaining several days. But unfortunately
for him, she suddenly returned the FIRST
night, and went straight to the servant
girls room and asked to be admitted. Tho
girl refused, and answered that she could
not possibly let here in just then and de.
clined to give reasons why she could not.
The wife told her to never mind then, but
to 60 down stairs as soon as she could and
make her some tea. She then left the door
and concealed herself where she could see
who passed from the room. Before long,
the door opened and the husband carefully
stepped out and softly made his way down
stairs in his stocking feet, soon followed by
the guilty servant. The wife Immediately
left the house, went home and informed
her parents Of all that had occurred.
The next morning the preacher appeared
at the gate, when the father, who was ter.
ribly angered, seized q revolver, and told
him il he came inside the yard . ball would
be sent through him. In vain he attempt-
ed to parley, in vain he pleaded to see his
wife--neither father nor wife would consent
to talk to him moment. The reverend
gentleman went home, packed his trunk,
and left on the first train for the east, since
which time his whereabouts have been un !.
known.
Thus the matter has ended for tho pre- e.
ent, save in the excited talk Of the good
people of tina. quiet villsge.--Da6uqus

Waterville College offers an additional guar
antee against any selfish and sectarian use OF
the new foundation, in her proposed agree
ment that the Legislature shall appoint a
Board of Overseers-the Governor and Coun-
Gil, the Judges of the Supreme Court, or some
other body-to which shall be entrusted the
administration of the department prescribed
In the act of Congress-, and the naming of the
pupils on whom the State shall bestow these
educational privileges.
Permit me one other suggestion. After two
denominations have expended so much for
general education in the State, would it be
just and liberal to establish third college to
compete with the two now existing, and with
the means in which the constituents of these
two have common property? Waterville
College has educated large number of Young
men in this State, from all denominations and
many belonging to no denomination, for a
very small price, mere fraction of the actual
cost. The College offers to bind itself in the
sum ofsi00O00, secured by a perpetual lien on
It's property, to carry out the conditions of the
act OF Congress, and to receive and instruct
one student for every seventy-flve dollars of
the entire annual income arising from the sale
OF the lands secured by said act. Now it
seems to me that the State is very much more
likely to obtain the greatest possible advan-
tage from this grant of Congress, by entrust-
ing 1t to this College with these guarantees
and provisions, than by undertaking to put
new wheel into its machinery and attempting
to run the concern itself, subject to the usual
exposure to partizan politics and selfish gov
ernment contractors, TO be dreaded as much
at least as Christian denominations.

Letter from the Maine Twentieth.
CAMP NEAR FALMOUTH, VA
March 5. 1863.



To the Editors Of the Press
The army Of the Potomac is still inactive,
quietly awaiting the drying up of the mud, SO
that the roads may become passable, when 1t
will be safe to predict that its quiet will be
broken by an onward movement more vigor-
Gus than any heretofore. The weather is mag
nihcent, albeit little cold. The army is in
good health and spirits. l and think it no sense
less buncombe to add. eager TO meet the enc
my. 1t is in good fighting condition, never
better; more hopeful than the people at home
and far less tolerant of Copperheads, beside
whom his most satanic majesty brightens in
TO saintlike responsibility. II the dastards at
home, who higgle about the war measures of
the Administration, could only come out here
and feel for themselves in what perfect con-
tempt they are held by the great mass of the
soldiery, they would be shained, and like
whipped ours would sneak away into the ken
mel of perpetual silence.
The Twentieth Maine has one of the pleas
ATTEST situations on the Rappahannock. Its
camp-ground, always dry, has been thor
oughly "policed," and with a little more
labor will be second to none in the corps
The sanitary condition of the regiment has
never been better since leaving Maine; con-
valesoents are almost daily returning to their
companies from the hospitals at Washington
and Baltimore. Many of the line officers
have for various reasons resigned; but those
who remaia are cheerful aud hopeful deter
mined in Gods good providence to see the end
of the rebellion. Maj. Gilmore, much beloved
by the entire regiment, is now in Washington
under medical treatment, still suffering from
his former wounds; may his recovered health
soon enable him TO return to his duties lin the
regiment Lit. Col. Chamberlain has just re-
turned from a trip to Maine, looking and we
trust also feeling much refreshed by his short
leave OF absence.
The many friends Of our gallant Col Ames
will be glad TO learn of his promotion in the
regular army for meritorious conduct He
was breveted captain May 4, 1862, and July
|, 1852, breveted Major for distinguished SER
vices at the siege of Yorktown, and at the
battles of Malvern Hill and CARROTS farm.
This tribute to his worth as an officer is hear
tily endorsed by all the officers Of his COM
mand. who seem to feel themselves to be shar-
ers Of any honor conferred upon him; and /
use no mere empty words when say Maine
may well be proud of the commandant of the
