Bay- We have received from the
publisher copy of new school book
of which the following is the title:

and Civil History and Constitution
of Vermont, by s. r. Hall, A. NJ.
Also the Constitution of the United
States, with notes and queries, by
Pliny II. White, and the Declare
ton of independence, Recommend
ed by the Board OF Education of
Vermont, for use in the schools of
the State. Montpelier; G. w VIII
lard. PIP. 25S.
The author, the Rev. Samuel II, Hall,
of Bloomington, Orleans County, Vt,
is well-known naturalist and scholar
and is fully competent for the faithful
performance of the duty he undertook
at the instance of the Vermont Board
of Education. We have no doubt the
work now presented will justify the
Board in the choice they made of com
piler of SO desirable school book.
The value of the work is greatly en-
HANGED by notes TO the constitution
of the United States and queries by
the Rev. Pliny IL. White, of Coventry
who has performed his portion Of the
labor with his customary thorough
ness and fidelity and by an excellen
appendix.
The book is tolerably well printeC
on fair paper and very well bound anC
will, we trust, meet with n large anC
remuerating sale.

DEAR NEFFY-L havn't sent ye lether
since the last time | wrote to We, because
%e have moved from our former place of
hvln, and | didn't know where a lether
would hnd ye; but | now with pleasure
take up my pin to inform you of the
death OF sour Twin uncle Fitzpatrick, who
died very suddenly last wake, after lin.
germ sickness of sax wakes The poor
man was In violent commissions the whole
time of bis illness, lying perfectly quiet all
the time, and spacheess intirely-talkinc
lncoherently, and crying for wather. I
had no opportunity of Informing you of
his death sooner, except wrote to you by
the last post, which went two days before
his death, and then you'd had the postage
to pay. I'm at great loss to tell what his
death was occasioned by, but fear it was
occasioned by his last sickness. He was
niVer well tin days together during the
whole time of his sickness; but be that as
1t will, as soon as he he'd brathed his last
the doctor gave up hopes of his recovery.
| needn't tell you anything about his age,
tor you will know that in May mkt he
would have been twenty FIVE year ould lack.
in tin months; and had be lived to that
time he would have been sax months dead.
His property is considerable. 1t devolves
upon his next of kin, who is dead some
time since, SO that | expect it will be
equally divided betune us-an the, nv
dear Larry, yell get two thirds of the
whole, and you know he had fine estate,
which was sowld to pay his debts, and the
remainder he lost on horse race But it
was the opinion Of all the ladies present
that he would have w0u the race, if the
horse he ran against hadn't been too fast
Tor hlm-bad luck to the baste But,
poor soul, be will never ate or dhrink more:
and now, Larry, ye hevn't a lvin relashin
IN the vide wuFruld, except myself and
your two cousins that was kilt ia the war.
But L cant dwell upon this mournful
subject, but will sale this lether with sale
lngwax, and put on yer uncle's coat Of
armes. So | beg you not to break the
sale, when ye open the lether, until thres
or four days afther ye resave it-by that
time ye will be better prepared for the
mournful tidings
Yer ould sweetheart, Mary, sends her
love to ye Unbeknownest TO me. When
the bearer Of this arrives in Hamilton, AK
him for this lether, if he don't know which
one 1t is, tell him it's the one that spakes
OF your uncle's death, and sailed with black
Your affectionate Aunt,
In dape disthress,

P. S. Don't write to me until you

4 Long Siumber.-At the las, s;,,;
OF the Paris Academy of Sciences a panss
was received from Dr. Bannett on constiu-
tional lethargic slumber One case was
that OF lady, twenty four years fage, who,
having slept for forty days at the age of
eighteen, and 90 days at the age of twenty
during her honeymoon, at length had fit
OF sleep which lasted nearly whole year,
from Easter Sunday, 1862, to March, 1868.
During this long period false front tooth
had to be taken out in order to introduce
milk and broth into her mouth This was
her only food; she remained motionless, in
sensible, and all her muscles were in state
OF contraction. Her pulse was low, her
breathing scarcely perceptible there was
no evacuation, no leanness her complexion
was forid and healthy.

Another Antediluvian Frog.-The Erie
Dispatch says that probably the Oldest
inhahitant in Pennsylvania was discovered
in the store of Gray & Farrar, in that city,
on last Thursday, 1t is living frog, about
an inch long, which was taken from piece
OF bitumiDous coal that one ofthe EMPLOYEES
of the store had broken for the purpose of
burning. His escape from torturing death
was almost providential, and it is a cause
OF satisfaction that he escaped fate SO
Ignominious after having lived SO long and
quietly. His advent to the outer world
was witnessed by four or FIVE gentlemen
connected with the establishment, and he
was Immediately deposited in ci gar box.
