the freedmen in the vicinity Of the riot were

Tested. The colored mob, In union with q
few white rioters who were leading them in

forty-two policemen and several citizens were
either killed or wounded by them, although
the conflict was over IN less than two hours.
Thirty seven rioters were killed, and CON

The Massachusetts, PloaghHaa well
says that traveller over . country
road would instinctively have his eye
caught and his thoughts somewhat tam
gied up by fine vine growing vigor-
ously near the door of home. 1t does
not matter how small or humble that
home may be, it is raised in the esteem
of any observing passer-by, holding up
the suggestive shelter of vine. 1t ex-
presses love in the house, thoughtful
ness for what is OF once graceful and
sppropri.se, pure and healthy, aamc.tiS
sentiment, and spirit of contented
domestic happiness, which many one
goes the world over to find, and looks
for in vain. Such simple home orna-
ment as this is token for all men to
see, that the jewellers beneath the root
it adds expression to, are persons OF
feeling for what is true and lovely, for
native refinement and quiet happiness.
There should not be farmhouse in the
land without vine somewhere contig-
uous. 80"

Superstition in GpEiano'
A strange case of superstition is re-
ported in the west of England. About
three weeks ago, says the Liverpool
Examiner of the 18th ultimo, died the
Reverend E. D. Rhodes, vicar of Bath
ampton, avillage two miles from Bath,
and on the borders of SOMERSET and
Willis. Mr.. Rhodes was man Of very
remarkable power; his teaching was far
above the average of country clergys
men, and his parishioners were COM
monty supposed to be, SO far as intel
lectual attainments are concerned, much
above the level of an ordinary rural
parish. Nevertheless, since his death
the rumor has been current that his
ghost has been seen in Bathampton
churchyard, and has been heard groan.
ing and signing. The witnesses in
creased in number and in positiveness
of assertion, and the report obtaining
general currency, crowds Of persons
came over from Bath to verify it.
Their testimony was abundantly CON
firmed, and one old parishioner, enter
ing more into detail than the rest, said
that he had seen Mr.. Rhodes with 8
crown of glory round his head and q
trumpet in his hand. The matter now
became serious, and the aid of the pc
lice was asked. Constables were &C
cordingly sent over on Friday night
The ghost appeared, as usual, pale and
CHASTITY, groaning and signing. He wa.
captured, and tured out to be great
white owl, which is henceforth con
demned to humiliating Imprisonment
in barn, with hard labor in the shape
of mice catching.

Woman are apt to criticise women
with undue severity. 1t has been said
that while men are to often unjust to
men, they are always 80 to the other
gender; but We are inclined to think
that, so far rs talk is concerned, the
gentler sex scandalixes itself more fire.

take sister-ike, charitable view Of the
errors and short comings Of their female
acquaintance. Why can they not be
more blind to each others faults, moro
wide awake to each others virtues
Hawks will not pick ont hawks eyes"
says the proverb; but the doves of the
social ark are less scrupulous about
pecking at one another. One of the
most CALLING things in the world to q
sensible woman is to be talked of or
talked at impertinessly. She does not
like to have her faiings recited, and,
above all, regretted, by her neighbors.
She would not as much mind the emu
meration Of her sins, if her dear friends
would be kind enough not to groan over
them. That exasperates her, and she
retOrts in kind, and with interest. I'm

ty there is no end of Suppressed war;"
that has thus been generated. If the
sorrows which lady gossips profess to
feel when they hear of or rscapitulate
the alps or peccadilloes Of their fsmal e
intimates were always genuine, one
might balance their kindness Of heart
against their mischieyous garrulity,
and 90 forgive them; but, alas! in too
many instances they are, in reality,
rather thankful than otherwise for an
opportunity, to exercise their pestilent
Gift. There are three lessons which
