A SpEcULATIoN.-A Canadian farmer
recently took over the Vermont line TO a
starch factory fifteen bushels OF potatoes
somewhat damaged On the way he stop
ned at the custom house to inquire the
duty on potatoes, but as the Official could
not inform him till he investigated the
tariff, he passed on and sold his tuberS
for 20 cents per bushel, in American cur
rency. On returning to the custom-house
he was Informed that the duty was 20
cts per bushel in silver currency. The
Canadian had therefore to pay 1870 IN
specie, beside Sl.20 currency as entry fee
altogether about $3.50 to the American
government for the privilege of selling the
potatoes for an equivalent of about w IN
silver. He returned minus his potatoes
and with $3.50 ess money in his pocket
than when he left home, He is not like
ly to try that speculation again.

chickens took to the cat. and the cat acted
the part of a tender mother toward them.
After the chickens had acquired sufficient
age to run out of doors in pleasant wea-

chickens roasted with her at night
as many as could find room, upon her
back, and the rest nestled close to her.
Puss did not fancy the rowing habits of
her little family, AID as they gradually
became acquainted with the outdoor world

locality, but in this she failed. She
would bring into the house one of the

SHOCKING BRUTALITY IN NEwARK-on
Thursday last sou and daughter oil
Robert Moulton knocked down. beat and
bruised their step-motber in the most
shocking manner. Mrs. Moulton was
spinning and requested Hannah-'he
daughter-to prepar the dinner. which
she refused to do; consequently, Mrs.
Moulton left her work and attended to 1T
| her self, while Hannah went to
the wheel and tried to spin-somethlng
which she knew nothing about. After
dinner Mrs Moulton was about resume
her spinning when the girl informed her
the she could not have the wheel. Mr.
Moulton being but short distance from
the house, his wife went to him about the
matter, who replied. IF you want your
wheel, go and take it." Mrs Mouiton
returned and told the girl what her father
had said, and ATTEMPTED to take the wheel,
when the girl--about II years of age, and
weighing nearley 200 pownds--selzed her
by the hair. threw her down, and began
beating her. By CRATE exertion she sue
ceeding in rising when the girl again
threw her down, pounding her the while
wetb her fists. Mrs MCulton managed to
regain her feet second time, when the
boy-a 6end in human shape, about .
years of agc--came into the house. plum
ged at his mother with clenched fists and
knocked her down, exclaming "klll her !!
kill her !" both continuing to beat her
with their fists Mrs Moulton succeeded
in partially rising a third time, when the
boy again knocked her down. After
beating her to their satisfaction, they left
her insensible and nesrlydead. She re-
manned so for some time, and when she
recovered her sences she managed to crawl
to the door, where Mr.. Mouton saw her,
and Immediately assisted her into the
house, where she remains in critic Al con-
dition. Her head and face are badly
bruised, and her spine so injured that in
all probability she will be an invalid for
life. And yet no punishment has been
inflicted upon the perpetrators They are
fit subjects for our Reform School. Mrs
Moulton is considered very worthy and
respectable lady by all who know her.
Hannah Moulton is the girl who last
summer poured kerosenee oil upon the
bead of a son of Mr.. Bunker, in order to
