A Cool FARMER.-We have seen and

the conduct of the Vermont ~agrieulturist

load of hay to his neighbor, who, con
trary to his own expectations, after see
ing it weighed, stayed to see it unloaded.
But a few forkfulls were off when a
bouncing rock rolled off from the load
then another, and then a third came bang
upon the floor.

INDIAN MARRIAGE PRoMIsE.-A young
Indian failed in bis attentions to a young
squaw. She made complaint to an old
chief, who appointed a hearing or trial.
The lady laid the cas- before the Judge
and explained the nature of the promise
made to her. It consisted Of sundry Wis
its made to her wigwam, "many little
undefinable attentions and presents, a
bunch of feathers and several yards Of
red aannel.' This was the charge. The
faith'ess swain denied the "undeinable
attentions" in toto. He had visited her
fathers wigwam for the purpose of pas
sing away time, when it was not conven-
lent to hunt, and had given the feathers
and flannel from friendly motives, and
nothing further. During the latter part
of the defence the squaw tainted. The
plea was considered invalid, and the Of
fender sentenced to give the lady a vel
low feather, a breach that was then dang

The sentence was no sooner concluded
than the squaw sprang upon her feet, and

A HORRIBLE T4LE.-A newspaper pub
lished at Colima, Mexico, tells the follow.
ing frightial story, and calls upon the
public TO publish the criminals:
When General Pueblita, entered the
town Of Ago, in September last, he exact
ed a forced loan from the people, and a
portion Of it fell upon the curate Of the
place. The curate acted as though he
would give, but he did not make his ap
pearance at the point designated for pay
ment, and General Pueblita ordered him
to be arrested. a party of men went to
his dwelling and knocked at the door
there was no answer, and they broke in.
They found no one Id the house, and were
about TO leave it., when they heard a
frightfnl voice proceeding from the ground
saying, I'm hungry"
The officer in command went back to
General Pueblita and told him about the
voice. The General appointed a commits
mission went to the c%urate's dwelling,
and after a careful examination they found
a movable stone in the floor, and under
this was a stairway leading down to a
vault, which was entirely dark, and had
no connection with The air save by the
staircase.and small hole that served as a
ventilator. In this vault they discovered
a few articles of furniture, and a woman
who bad been shut up there for eighteen
years. She. was taken to General Pue-
.blita's quarters.
When brought into the light, where she
saw a number Of persons, she fainted.-
After she had returned to her senses, a
thousand questions were asked her, to
which she replied that she had been bur
ried in that vault for eighteen years, with
out going out for a moment that she
had been married, and had children by
her husband, but she knew nothing OF
their fate /; that while imprisoned in the
vault she had had children by the %curate,
but she knew nothing Of what had be-
come of these children; aud after that
much became obstinate aud silent.
While this was passing, a sergeant Of
the Pueblita brigade, then present, dis
covered that this woman was his mother,
and she recognized him as her son and
embraced him. The son then ran for the
father, who came to recognize his wife.
The husband, fifteen years ago, was i'm
prisoned three years under charge of muir
dering his wife, this woman.
