n pupil who had addressed her with
ont waiting for the usual nod Of con-
sent. until she had used up three whips
nearly as large as mans finger. She
then took ferrule, an inch in diane

The New York correspondent of the
Boston Journal writes as follows:
st. Thomas Church was sold and an
elegant marble building was to be
erected on its site. A well known con-
fcctioner held n lease of an adjoining
building whose windows open on to the
rear grounds of the church. BY lease
from the church corporation which is
to run eight years from this time, those
windows were to remain open. The
new proprietorS, anxious to put up their
building, offered to purchase the lease.
The confcctioner asked $1,000, which
was thought too high. Aftcrward the
proprictors concluded to give it, when
the confectioner raised his price to
$4,000. This they decided to give.
They changed their minds, however,
when the c0nfectioner run his price up
to $4,000. Refusing to have anything
to do with the cOnfectioner, the propri-
etors run up cheap, light structure,
which will prove good investment
till the eight years lease has run out.
Goupil attempted the same game with
4. L. Stewart, but without success, and
lost the chance to secure great sum
for the lease he held.

The Patriot says it battles the skill of the
best physicians, who are unable to de-
tcrmine its true nature or give it n
name. The following is the Patriots
description: "He has fits of being very
weak and faint, when his tongue he
comes greatly swollen, and his appetite
almost Unsuitable. He at once conf
mences eating, and after devouring rs
much food as two or three men could eat
under ordinary circumstances, the swell
ing disappears from his tongue, and he
RECEIVERS from the faintness which has
overcome him. At times he suffers from
an alteration of mind, and cannot iden-
tify his most intimate friends and near
est relatives, and sometimes imagines
himself some other person.
