PATENT CAR-C0UP1ING,-We have been
shown model of a railroad car coup
ling which has recently been patented
by Messrs. G. D. Spooner and J. F. +.
Hale, of this village, which appears to
US to be just the thing which has been
long needed in order to prevent the de-
struction of life and limb which annually
occurs to railroad employees while en-
gagged in Stacking cars. By an ipge-
nieus continuance the cars, upon coming
together shackle themselves, thus avoid
ing all possibility of accident, and rem
dering the cars just as securely fast
as by the old system OF Stacking. We
understand several prominent railroad
men have examined it, and expressed
their highest approval Of its ability to
accomplish all that is claimed for it by
the patentees.

FIRE IN ST. ALBANs.-On Saturday
evening, about 10 o'clock, new build
ing owned by Mr.. Markham, machinist,
was destroyed by fire. Mr. Markham had
built the house mostly himself, working
evenings to make a home for his family.
He had the house nearly ready for occu-
patton. We understand he had an in
surance of about 5000 on it, which saves
him from total loss. The fire is sup
posed TO be the work Of an incendiary.

An Incident.

From one of our exchanges we clip the fol-
lowing:
The,next day after Christmas as the large
steamer Magenta was plowmg her way over
the 'tather of Waters" in her downward
course towards the Crescent City, when
within about forty miles of her destina-
ton a small skif containing a slight youth Of
not over dozen years, put our from the left
bank about three hundred yards ahead, and
made straight across Ter bow for the opposite
shore. 1t soon became apparent to the pas
sengers who began to crowd the railing to
watch the scene, that the boy must either
pause IN his career, change the course of his
little bark, or be overwhelmed. Not he: with
his flashing eye now on the PROV Of his mons
trous rival and now on the opposite bank,
he constantly veered his skiff to the left show
ing determination to head the steamer at
every hazard Anxiety now became Intense
the steamer was within few feet of the skitf
and it seemed certain that the boys fate wa.
sealed, when cling, cling, goes the bell; the
huge machinery groaned aud sobbed at being
SO suddenly reversed-the great steamer
| paused, swayed to and fro, and almost stood
stil--the little skiff had passed cling, cling
cling, goes the bell the pouderous engines
groaued and sobbed again, aud the stately
Magenta went on her proud course, leaving
audacious Young America to the arms of his
mother.

The "Three jolly Husbands,

Three jolly husbands, by the names Of Tim
Watkins, Joe Brown and Bill Walker, sat late
one evening drinking at the village tavern,
until being pretty well corned, they agreed
that each one on returning home should do
the first thing his wife told him, in default
of which he should next morning pay the bill.
They separated for the night, engaging to
meet the next morning and give an honest
account Of their proceedings at home, as far
as they related to the bill.
The next morning Walker and Brown were
early at their posts, but it was some time be-
lore Watkins made his appearance. Walker
began first:
"You see, when l entered my house, the
candle was out, and the fire gave but glim-
mer of light, SO | came near walking into a
pot of batter, that the pancakes were to be
made of in the morning. My wife was dread
fully out of humor, and said to me, sarcastic
cally-
"'BiIl, do put your foot in the batter 2 .
"'Just as you say, Maggie" said 1; "and
without the least hesltation,I put my foot in
the batter, and then went to bed
Next, Joe Brown told his story
"My wife had already retired in our usua
seeping-room, which adjoins the kitchen, and
the door of which was ajar; not being able
to navigate perfectly, you know, l made a
dreadful catter among the kitchen furniture.
and my wife, in no vsry pleasant tone, bawled
out
"'Do break the porridge pot 7"
''No sooner said than done. | seized hold
of the pot, and striking it against the chimney
jam, broke it into a hundred pieces After
this exploit, [ retired to rest, and got a cur
tain lecture all night for my pains"
1t was now Tim Watkins turn to give an
account of himself, which he did with very
long face, as follows;
"My wife gave the most unlucky command
in the world, for was laundering up stairs
in the dark, when she cried out
"'Do break your neck-do, Tim !"
"'Can't do it, Kate" said |, as l gathered
myself up, I'll sooner pay the bill And SO,
landlord, here's the cash for you, and this is
the last time will ever risk five dollars on the
commands of my WIFE"

LUDIoRoUs SCENE IN CHURoH-An aged
clergyman, speaking of the solsmnity attached
to the ministerial Office, said that during the
whole term Of forty years that he had oficia-
ted therein, his gravity, had never been but
once disturbed in the pulpit. On that-oc
sion he noticed man directly in front ofhim,
leaning over the railing of the gallery, with
something in his hand which he afterwards
discovered to be huge chew of tobacco, jnsi
taken from his mouth. Directly below SAT q
man fast asleep, with his head back and his
mouth wide open The man in the gallery
was intently engaged in raising and lowering
his hand, taking an exact observation till at
last, having got it plump let fall his quid, and
it went right into the mouth of the sleeper
below The whole scene was so indescriba
bly, ludicrous that for the first and last time in
the pulpit, an Involuntary smile forced itself
upon the countenance of the preacher.

They tell story in New London, Conn,
which runs thus: ga green grocer in Croton
sent his clerk to New London, one morning
last summer, with bag of green corn to
dispose Of The young man was gone all
day, and at night returned with his bag of
green corn on his shoulder and dumped it on
the floor, with the remark: "There's your
green corn; go and sell it yourself can't. :"
why said the grocer, haven't you sold
any?' Sold any No. said he, I've been
all over New London with it, and nobody
said anything about any green corn. Two or
three fellows asked me what I'd got in my
bag, and told 'em twas none of their id
business!"
