HANDSOMELY CAUGHT.

The Copperheads in the Legislature
recently put their heads together and
with the hope of manufacturing little
political capital agreed TO introduce a
resolution giving additional bounties to
the soldiers who enlisted in 1861 and
1862.
Now it is we'll known that while the
soldiers were in the field fighting south
ern democrats, these fellows had no
sympathy for them, but now that the
boys arc at home they are very anxious
to secure their votes, and hence'are re-
sorting to all sorts of petty tricks and
devices with that end in view. Hence
the above resolution.
The Union men thought it would be
well to test the sincerity ofther profess
sions, and SO offered an amendment
providing that the amount necessary
to pay these bounties be made out of
tho coufscated lands OF traitors in the
South.
This fell like bomb shell in tho
"South Carolina corner" of the House.
The Copperhcads were not willing that
Union soldiers should be paid at the ex-
pense of southern traitors, and so erery
one Of them Uoted against the amended
resolution. This shows the sincerity of
their newborn love for the soldiers. 1t
will have to grow considerably before
it is equal to their love for southern
traitors. .-lScioto Gazette.

Miss Emily Batchelder, school
teacher, of East Montpelier, VT, re,
Gently whipped half grown boy who
stubbornly resisted her, but was held
by some Of the other scholars while
he received his punishment The boy s
father prosecuted the teacher, but f.
nally withdrew the suit, as public
opinion was strongly against him. A
collection was taken up and Miss
Batchelder's expenses paid. The la
dies of the district then presented her
with a set of silver Spoons and but
ter knife, as an indication that they
supported her in enforcing discipline.

p@-We have already mentioned re.
ports that the devil had appeared in
Harrison and some of the adjoining
counties of Kentucky, and caused a
good deal of alarm among the super
stitious residents Of that part Of the
State. The Lexington Loyalist says
that the whole thing originated in a
freak of mischief with some young men
in Cynthiana, who determined to play
a trick upon some refractory walters
at hotel. They dressed up an old
negro in a bulls skin, with a frightful
head, horns and eyes, and turned him
loose among the offenders, who at onco
decamped, and circulated the stories
which have, of course, gathered i'm
portance from constant repetition.
