Practical JoKERs FooLED.-A St.
Louis paper describes curious scene of
imaginary poisoning that recently occurred
in that city. Four mischievous young men,
boarders at the house, took il into their
heads to make a clandestine examination
of the contents Ct pack belonging to a
peddler Of IsiaeIili,h procliviiies, for The
purpose OF ascerfaining what sort of goods
be dealt in. In the PACK they found a
paper containing awhile powder, aud they
were anxious TO ascertain what it vas
One Of them took pinch of the powder,
and after tasting it pronounced it saleraius.
Another swallowed small quantity and
declared it was alum. The third tried it
thought it was soda. The fourth gulped
down spoonful and said it was starch.-
Being unable to agree, they made close
examination of the paper, and found writ
ten upon it the fearful word poison -
They all now felt terrible griping in the
stomach. and started on a full run for the
nearest drug store. The store was closed,
and in an agony Of despair the -four young
men ol.ed over on the pavement and con-
cluded to give up the ghost. The poison,
however, was slow in its operation and
neither of them died. They found a drug
gist, and getting him TO examine the pow
der, discovered that it was sla,ch. They
immediate ly recovered, and declared that
they would not attempt any -mole practi.
cal jokes upon the peddler.

PERILoUs IGNoRANcE.-A man and
his wife and son stopped at public house
in Rutland last week, and on retiring the
flame or gas burner was bloaon out as one
blows out a candle The conse quence
was the family came near losing their
lives. In the night the boy walked up and
complained of his head. The father could
not get up, and called to his wife who got
up but immediately tainted and fell upon
the floor. The boy, stronger than his pa
rents, managed to get up and open door
and window, and the three managed to
get through the ni.ht without losing life.
Early in the morning chambermaid in
passing the door smelt the gas and on en-
tering soon found the cause of the trouble
the gas was still escaping from the
burner. A physician was called and they
are all well again, but have learned les
son they will not forget. After all should
not the attendants or keeper of the house
have seen to it, for would not a majority
of country people have done as they did

GEN Dix ON PUBLIC AFFAIRs.-
The following letter from General Dix, to
the Brooklyn Union meeting, defines the
position Of that distinguished officer upon
the present affairs of the country:
"DEAR SIR If it were in my power,
it would afford me great pleasure to &C
cept the invitation you gave me yesterday
to attend the meeting to be held in Brook
Ign this evening TO sustain the policy of
President johnson in regard TO the South
ern States lately in rebellion. In the gen.
eral scope OF his views l fully concur -
From an early period after the close of
the war, it was under TODD that, when
these States should have given their as
sent 10 the amendment abolishing slavery
and repudiated the debts contracted to
overthrow the government, they should be
permitted to resume their places in the
Union and TO be represented in both Houses
Of Congress The exaclicn of new eondi-
tons is violation of that understanding
and calculated to Prolong the separation
of the States against which we carried on
for four years "a sanguinary war, and to
widen the breach which il is our duty by
all just and practical measures TO repair
and heal.
That there vii be, for long time TO
come, much hostile feeling at the South,
must be expected as a necessary conse-
quence Of the war. But it is in the pow
er Of each House of Congress 10 refuse to
receive as Representatives, persons who
are not loyal 10 The Union, and thus to ex-
clude from all participation in the enact
ment of laws those who would be disposed
to pervert the Legislation Of the country to
its injury. The right course is very clear
TO my own Judgment. 1t seems to me to
be utterly incompatible with the principles
Of our political organization to exercise in
peace control over the affairs of any
State which is not represented in the leg
isative body. The existing condition Of
things is anomalous, and should for the
general good be terminated as speedily as
possible. Whatever ineonvenieuces may
result from the prompt admission Of the
Southern Representatives,, / can find
none so prrjudicial in their influence, as the
example, under are preventative system
Ike ours, of denying TO one fourth of
the people Of the country voice in their
own government.
In view of the great public interest ID
volved in speedy restoration Of the States,

NOBLE ACTIoN.-There is a student
in the academy at johnson, who is under
the necessity of laboring for his board,
and is Thereby driven into late hours OF
study to keep pace with his class. Some
of his associates took opportunity one Sat
urday afternoon, and with shouldered
saw-horses and saws marched in single
file TO this students wood-pile, and soon
six cords of wood were entirely cut up"
They then, with their fellow students,
walked up to the principal and paid the
tuition of the young man, and enjoined
upon him the necessity of being more
careful in the future of his failing health.

An Old and Curious Document.


DIR. 0. f. Woods of this village has
handed us an old and curious document,
being the original agreement and contract
between school squadron" district
committee and teacher for one term of
school, in old Hardwick, Mass. about
seventy-seven years ago. The exactness
OF the agreement is certainly commenda-
bic, and there doubtless was no litigation
in that case at least, but the amount of
compensation wouldn't go far toward pay
ing the compensation of Bellows Falls
Village High School at the present day,
as will be seen by the document, which
we copy entire below, as follows:-
Know all men that This is TO certify !;
that we, the subscribers, inhabitants of
the town Of Hardwick, do Gin behalf of
the School Squadron to which we, the
subscribers, do belong) agree with and
engage John Rice of Hardwick to keep a
school within the bounds (and for the ben
efD of said School Quarter, sixteen
weeks beginning the 9Th day of Deem
Der, A. ID. 1889; for which service we
the subscribers do in behalf of said Quar-
ter promise and engage topay to him, the
said Rice, as follows q. e. Three pounds
six shillings in silver money, and one
pound thirteen shillings in rye at four shl-
lings per bushel, and one pound thirteen
shillings in Indian Corn at three shillings
per rushel; all Of which money. rye and
Indian Corn, is to be pad, and delivered
to said Rice, on or before the last day of
April, A. d. 1870, at Lieut.. James Pages
