The New Orleans Times tells a story Of
man who, some years ago, was doing an
extensive business in that CITY, and. owing
to his singular blending of roughness and
severity with genteness, acquired the sob.
rIquet of the "Artful Dodger." One cold
November morning, an urchin applied to
him for a situation, and in answer 70 HE
snarp interrogatories, the boy stated that
ms mother was widow, and supported
herself by her needle, and during the sum.
mer she had been attacked with the yellow
fever, and had not yet recovered from the
debility which it had produced. Up to
this time the boy had been going to school.
ana expected to enter the high school, but
was compelled to so 70 work. For some
time the Dodger sat buried in profound
thought; then suddenly turning round. he
stared the petitioner full in the face and
thus delivered himself:

teen dollars month, but on certain exnre,s
conditions. Saturdays you shall have all

lie then turned to his desk, scribbled
OH note, and then took six two dollar and
half gold pieces out of his safe, which he
placed in the boys hand, and told him to
deliver the letter.

Death of DR.. Barnes.

1t is with feelings of extreme regret that
we record the death of DIR. II. r. Barnes
of Shawnee, in this county, which occurred
in Philadelphia on Saturday last The Dr.,
few weeks ago, took a trip to Columbus,
Mississippi, to visit some friends ut that place,
and was on his way home, when he was a.
tackled with Cholera which resulted in his
death. He was met on The streets of Phila-
deiphia on Friday last, by one of our citizens,
to whose inquiry as 10 the state of his health
he replied that he felt quite well. Shortly
after the fell destroyer seized hold of him,
and on Saturday his friends in this county
were startled by the announcement that he
was dead. The Doctor was young man,
whose gentleman!y department and kindness
of heart drew many friends around him. He
had been in practice less thai: three years,
but even in that short lime his success in the
treatment of diseases gave indubitable eyi
dence that eminence in his profession was
the goal at which he would certainly have
arrived if life and health had been spared
him. But he has .beenout down in the MORN
ing of his days, and friends can but sincere
ly regret that life which promised so much
OF usefulness could not have been longer
spared. HIS remains wercimerred at Bath,
Northampton county, Pa, the place of his
nativity, on Tuesday last.
Funeral services, in commemoration of The
death of DIR. Barnes, will be held in the
Presbyterian Church, at atsShawnee, at half
past 10 O'Clock on Sabbath morning next.

Game in Virginia.

The Richmond Enquirer says; "Game
of all kinds is to be found now In this re
gion. Patridges are more abundent than
for many years; hares jump from behind
every bush; coons infect every corn-field;
opossums spoil every persiommon tree
squirrels fill the forest; foxes bark around
every henncry, and the music of the
hounds resounds on every breeze. The
crack of the sportmcn's rifle and the dawn
of day greet us simultaneously, while the
huntsman's horn and the set of sun bid
farewell to the parting day"

bed to be up By times, in readiness for
the game of the morrow.
Saturday morning opened the way to
much speculation as to the probable quail
ity of the weather, in base ball point of
view. There were streaks of clear sky
observable, but there were also porten
tious clouds, which threatened to dampen
the ardour of the contestants. Neither
Stroudsburgers, nor Sawkillers, both of
whom were about in plentiful numbers
by the first peep of day, could exactly
settle the point to their perfect satisfaction.
BY breakfast time, however, nature came
to the rescue, and full grown shower
made bright faces blue, aud placed the
probabilities OF the contest at discount /;
and oft repeated, and earnest, were in
quires as whether the wind set in from
the North, the South, the East or the
West Nature again, however, came in
the rescue, and by ten o'clock the storm
had spent its fury, the clouds broke
away, and glorious sunshine illuminated
both the landscape, and the faces of all
and all were, who were anxious to see the
game 20 on. At once the clubs, accom-.
panied by their friends repaired to the
ball grounds; and splendid grounds they
were too-level as barn floor, and just

Scarcity of Labor in the West.
