Brrrrs BIZ MAD CAr-SIsGuLAR CASE.
One day last winter Mr. Samuel ketchum,
Of Fishkill Landing, vas standing near the
ferry house in this city, waiting for the arrival
Of the ferry boat "Union," when large cat
nass;nr along attracted his attention. He put
down his hand TO stroke the animal, when it
turned on him and seized him by the ball Of
his thumb, inserting its teeth deep in the
flesh In his efforts to get rid of the animal,
Mr.. K raised it from the ground several
times, it still clinging to his hand, and Of
course causing him great pain. 1t was at
length struck on the head by bystander, and
then suddenly let go its hold and made its
escape into an adjoining cellar, where color
ed man was engaged in opening oysters. He
attempted to kick the enraged animal, when
it seized his boot, biting clear through, but
not breaking the skin. The cat was killed
the next day. The wound in Mr.. Ketchum' $
hand gradually healed up, and the affair was
forgotten until about week ago, when he
was taken with symptoms of hydrophobia,
which have grown worse and worse, until
now, we are informed, there is but little
hopes of his recovery. The paroxysms. OF
the terrible disease are very violent, and 1t
takes several men to hold him.-NearburJ

Never get angry. 1t does no good
Some sins have a seeming compensa-
ton of apology, present qualification
of some sort but anger mas none. A
man feels no better for it. 1t is really
a torment and, when the storm of
passion has cleared away, it leaves one
to see that he has been a fool in the
eyes of others too. Who thinks wei
of an ill-natured, churlish man, who
has t. be approached in the most guar.
ded and cautious ways Who wishes
him for neighbor, or a partner in bust
ness He keeps all about him in the
same state of mind as if they were liv
ing in the neighborhood of hornets
nest, or of rabid animal. And, as to
prosperity in business, one gets along
no better for being angry. What if
business is perplexinS, and everything
goes by contraries? Will a fit of pas
sion make the winds more propitious,
the grounds more favorable? +? Will a
bad temper draw customers, pay debts,
and make creditors better-natured !!
An angry man adds nothing to the
welfare of society. Since, then, anger
is useless, disgraceful, without the
least apology, and found only in the
bosoms Of fools, why should it be in.

How to Clean q Well.

The Daily Ne,o Era. Atlanta. Geor.
gia, tells this story at the expense of
a provost-marshal there:
"A gentleman in this city. whom
we will call Mack. for short, had a
well pretty much filed up with rub
bish and trash of different kinds,
which he wanted cleaned ont. He
spoke TO freedman about the job,
and in very confidential way inti-
mated that there was treasure hid
in that well which he was anxious to
exhume. He imposed profound Sc
cresy on his sable help. and sent him
of in search Of another one Of his hue
who could be trusted. The upshot OF
the matter was that about one huD.
dred negroes knew that an iron safe
belonging to the Express Company,
aud which contained almost an inval.
liable amount of gold, had been pre-
cipitated into this well when the city
was evacuated. The affair was
speedily brought to the ears Of the
Provost marshal-not the present one,
however. for the thing Of which We
write occurred some time ago---and
Mack, on going to see about his well
one morning. found it guarded by a
strong Provost Guard. who forbade
any one coming on the premises
Charles City intelligencer. [volume] (Charles City, Floyd County, Iowa) 1864-1866, 1866-03-15

Mack protested against any such pro-
ceedings, and persisted that every
thing on that lot, in the we'll aud ont
of It, was his individual property.
The Assistant Provost Marshal gave
him an official wink, and intimatcd
that all was right Mack thought
that ifit was not it would be i'm the end.
:" A strong posse of freedmen was
sent down into the well to work.
Bucketfnl after bucketful Of rubbish
and mud were drawn out, but no
treasure as yet made it's appearance.
Occasionally the officer Of the guard
went down on prospecting tour. In
punching about with his bayonet he
hit upon something that had the true
metallic sound. They had the treas.

went to work. and after laboring some
hours succeeded in bringing out the

ed-but no iron safe. Mack said he
thought the safe was about ten feet
further down. Whatever may have
been the Provost-Marshars opinion on
that subject he concluded he had no
time to prosecute the search further
and withdrew his forces, leaving Mack
in the possession Of thoroughly
cleansed well. and at liberty to hunt
up the safe-if he wanted to. Mack
didn't want to-"

ar occurred last week in the district

prevailed so triumphantly that it de-
serves especial notice. The teacher

was endeavoring to make fuss in the
school and defy the teacher) SO severe
Iy that he begged for mercy, and his
father prosecuted the teacher. The
doctor called to examine The abused" "
boy, stated that he evidently was
pretty well punished, but he thought
not quite what he deserved. An at
tempt was made to procure a jury.
but man could not be found who had
not formed an opinion which was
:" that he want licked half enough"
Seeing what the inevitable result of
the trial must be, the prosecution final
ly withdrew the suit, when collection
was taken up which paid all the cx-
penses TO which Miss Batchelder had
been subjected, and presented her, in
behalf of the ladies of the district,
with a set of solid silver table spoons
and butter knife. indicating that the
district were hearty and true in the
support of teacher who had fearless

A Girl in her Thirteenth Year.
BY SIDNEY WALKER.

Thy smiles, thy talk, thy aimless plays,
SO beautiful approve thee,
So winning light are all thy ways,
l cannot choose but love thee.
Thy baimy breath upon my brow
Is like the summer air,
As Ger my cheek thou leanest now, .
To plant a soft kiss there.
Thy steps are dancing toward the bound
Between the child and woman,
And thoughts and feelings more profound.
And other years are coming:
And thou shalt be more deeply fair,
More precious to the heart,
But never canst thou be again
That lovely thing thou art
And youth shall pass, with all the brood
OF ancy-fed affection
And grief shall come with womanhood,
And waken cold reflection.
Ihou'lt learn to toll, and watch, and weer
Ger pleasures unretnrning,
Like one who wakes from pleasant sleep
Unto the cares Of morning.
Nay, say not so nor cloud the sun
Of JOYOUS expectation,
Ordained to bless the little one,
The freshing of creation!
Nor doubt that he who thus doth feed
Her early lamp with gladness,
Will lie her present help in need,
Her comforter in sadness
Smile on, then, little winsome thing
All rich In Natures treasure.
Thou hast within thy heart a spring
OF self.rene wing pleasure
Smile on. fair child and take thy fill
OF mirth, till time shall end it.;

And who shall reprehend itp
