In the Boston iail-refined, modern Bos-
ton, 'the hub'-are two babes, II seven
and a half years of age and one Of nine,
both small of their years and evidently in
fantile in mind. Their offense was steal
ing a few grapes, and they are committed
for non-payment Of fine and costs.
a lady in Boston last week astounded a
female pickpocket, who in the crowd had
thrust her hand into her pocket, by turning
and coolly inquiring, "why do you put your

A leg of the feminine pattern is discov-
cred to be worth $4,000. So decides a
Judge in New York city, in the case of a
lady who lost one through the carelessness
of a Broadway st~age-driver. Estimating
an arm to be worth one-fourth as much,
we have an element of wealth beside which
the national debt looks like an installment
of pin-money.
The Union and Emancipation Society
of Manchester, England, has published a
memorial for presentation to working men,
containing Mr.. Beecher's Grafton at the
raising of the old flag at Fort Sumter, and
his sermon on the death of President Lin
coin. One page of the neat pamphlet is
devoted to funeral epigraphs, and another
to Mr.. Lincoln's address at Gettysburg.
1t is stated that many of the leading
Methodist divines of Georgia have, with
the approval of their congregations, made
overtures to the Episcopal Church of the
State, and some of the clerical officers of
the ~triennial convention, to unite with the
Episcopal Church. Their hostility to
Northern Methodism and its incidental
hatred of the South in years past is said
to be the prime motive of the act.
George n. Sanders, in his greed for no.
~torietv, was kidnapped" it will be re-
membered, at Montreal, and rescued at
thetoll-gate blythe timely and pre-arranged
presence of police who overhauled the
carriage. The case has just undergone jul
dicial examination, and the only sufferers
seem TO have been the jury, who were
locked up over Sunday and finally dis
charged because they could not agree. 1t
was shown by Sanders own testimony to
have been a 'made up" affair. George
acknowledged that he wanted to exhibit
himself in st. Lawrence Hall with hand
cuffs. Not a particle of evidence was of
fered to show that the kidnappers were
United States agents; and the counsel for
their defense urged with reason that San
ders was a fellow conspirator, equally La
bic with themselves to any charge CT dis
turbing the peace.
In the town of Hopkinton, Massachu-
sets, a HERMIT by the nameof Seth Bailey,
is living in a hut, a short distance from
the road, built of boards and stones, and
banked with earth and turf to the caves.
He is rs years of age, was born in Natick,
and for nearly half a century has lived in
the hut alone. A gentleman, who recent
ly made a visit to him, states that the hut
contains a pallet, covered with rags, a
cooking stove, and two or three griddles.
He lives in seclusion, and is not very fond
of visitors. The first and only vote Mr..
Bailey ever cast was for Abraham Lincoln,
at the last Presidential election, and he re-
CARDS that as a great event in his life. The
hermit has worn the same pair of pants
for twenty years. He stated to his visitor
that he had never been married, and con-
Yersed quite intelligently.
