THE Loss By NOT TAXING 4 COUNTY PAPER--Gen
orally speaking but little Importance is attached
to the taking ofa county newspaper. This neg
lect and indifference had IFS practical reward the
other day. .sy 81. .. l54 "
Some time ago IL gentleman in this town was
appointed an Auditor TO distribute the funds in
the hands Of un Administrator amongst the cred
itors. Notice of the sitting of the Auditor was
published in two Of the county papers.
1t so happened that few creditors residing in
a certain portion of the county, who had collec-
lively claims 10 the amount of seven or eight hun
dred dollars from the neglect of taking county
paper, never heard of the audit until after the Re-
port of the Auditor bad been confirmed by the
Court. They then came to town TO inquire about
the likelihood of sccureng their claims; called
upon an Attorney, who examined into the mut-
ter, and informed them that they had for ever lost
their money; and we presume charged them five
dollars for the information. All this resulted
from being too penurious or too careless to sub
scribe for county paper.
These gentlemen have learned a lesson tina,
will last them the bal aucc Of their lives; and il
is a warning to others who, from the same mo-
tives, fail to take their county paper '' =" '79
There is scarcely a man in the eommnaky who
will not he caught up some day on a legal notice
that docs not take a paper. unless he clandestiac
ly reads his neighbor's; and every gentiema,
should be above literary pliering like this

The NIitten.

About seventeen years ago, there was a
fair girl, SO pure, so lovely, so refined, that
she rises to my mind as almost akin to
angels. She was woocd and ultimately
won by a handsome young man of con-
siderable wealth. He sported a fine team,
delighted in hunting, and kept pack Of
hounds. lie neither played cards, drank
wine, nor used tobacco. lie had no occu-
patton, no calling, no trade. lie lived on
his money, the interest of which would
have supported man handsomely. ]
never saw the fair bride till few days
ago. Seventeen years had passed away,
and with it her beauty and her youth, her
husbands fortune and his lifc-during the
latter part of which they lived in log
cabin ON the banks of Ohio, near Blcn-
ncrhassett's Island, and she with her family
living in one single room, subsisting OH
water, fat bacon and corn bread. The
husband had no business capacity. He
was gentleman of education, of refine
ment, of nozzle impulse; but when his
money was gone he could get no employ
mcnt, simply because he did not know how
to do anything For while he Aoundered
about-frst trying one thing, then another;
failure was written on them all. He, how
ever, finally obtained a situation. The
labor was great, the compensation was
small--it was that or starvation. In his
heroic efforts to discharge his duties ac-
ceptably. he over-worked himself and died
leaving his widow and six children in utter
destitution. In seventeen years the sweet
and joyous and beautiful girl had become
broken-hearted, care-worn, poverty.
stricken widow, with a house full of chill.

Miscegenatisa in vermont.

Some time since there was a family in Sand
gate, Vermont, with II sable black man as hns-
band, from 50 To % years old, and " hilc woman
some ten or fifteen years younger as wife, with
four children, three Of whom white, and the
fourth mulatto, the issue H this white and
black married couple. 1bx ~smaa had been the
wife Of u white soldier who was killed in battle,
and the three children we've tbs offspring Of this
marriage. The WOMAN WAS in bad health and in
the first stage Of consumption. Tive family be-
came town charge, and had 10 be- supported at
the cxpence Of the people OF Sspdgate, The cute
Sandgations concluded, however, not long to
bear the load of their support, and they aecor-
dinghy forwarded this LlIck and white isnsily to
Chicago, where, having no means Ut supporting
themselves, they became II public charge ON the
poor fund Of that city. The Chicago authorities
cnqured into the facts about this family and
learning the nature Of the present sent them by
the Sandgate officials, they immediately started
the family back to the place from whence they
came, paying their railroad fare thence. This
family arrived in Troy on Saturday night, after
the train had gone North, and having no place
to stay, and not auflicicnt means TO pay II hotel
bill, Ithey applied to tie Sc oad Po!ite Station
House for ..lodgiug and shelter until they could
take their departure by this mornings early nor
thern train. The request was granted and they
were guests ut the Hotel ne Police all day yes
tcrday. The woman is in feeble health, and evil
IDENTIFY has the consumption. This. whole affair
is little creditable to the humanitarians Of Sand
gate, who seem to prefer sending their contribu-
tions TO the freedmen Of the far South rather than
TO cxpcnd them in taking care ofthc colorcd poor
ut their own doors,-Troy Wig.

A Thrilling Incident.

Returning from visit to New Orleans,
We were fortunate enough to secure pas
sage in steamboat with but few passen-
gers. Among the ladies, one especially in
terested us. She was the widow of a wealthy
planter, and was returning with only one
child to her fathers home. Her devotion
to the child was very touching, and the.
eyes of her old black nurse would fill with
tears as she besought her mistress "not to
love that boy too much, or the Lord would
take him away from her." .f
We passed through the canal at Louis
vile, and stopped for few minutes at the
wharf, when the nurse wishing to see the
city, walked out on the guard at the back
of the boat, were, by sudden effort, the
child sprang from her arms into the ter
rible current that swept towards the falls,
and disappeared Immediately. The con-
fusion which cnsued attracted the attention
of gentleman which was in the front part
Of the boat quietly reading Rising hastily,
he asked for some article the child had
. worn. The nurse handed him tiny apron
she had torn off in her efforts to retain the
child in her arms. Turning to a splendid
Newfoundland dog that was eagerly watch
ing his countenance, he pointed first to the
apron, and then to the spot where the child
had gone under. ........
In an instant the noble dog leaped into
the water, and he also soon disappeared
by this time the excitement was intense,
AUD some persons on shore supposing the
dog was lost as well as the child, procured
a boat and started off ip search of the body.
Just at this moment The dog was seen far
4, away with something in his mouth. :
Bravely he struggled with the waves; but
. 'it was evident his strength was fast failing,
and more than one breast gave sie III of
relief as the boat reached him, and it was
ANNOUNCED that he had saved the child,
and it was still alive, They were brought
; to the shore--the dog and the child
iEGiviDg asingle glance to satisfy herself
chat the child was really living, the young
mother rushed forward, and sinking beside
the dog, threw her arms around his neck
and burst into tears. Not many could
view the sight unmoved, and as she ca
ressed and kissed his shaggy head, she
looked up to its owner and said-"Oh,
sir, I must have this dog! L am rich;
take oil I have, everything but give me
my child's preserver" The gentleman
smiled. and patting his dogs head, said
az am very glad he has been of service to
you; but nothing could induce me to part
With him" .'..........
