THE Gazette as well as a large proportion
of the Copperhead press, insists that Judge
Sharswood in Borie v Trott decided that
where an individual contracts to pay in gold
he cannot make payments in paper.
We admit that this was the question before
the Court, but Judge Sharswood travelled
out of the record to decide that Greenbacks
and Government currency were unconsttu-
tional. This is what we insist upon and
we challenge successful contradiction.

Popping the Question.

Mr.. Smithson wishes to take Miss
Brownly to the opera. He had been on
terms OF intimacy with the family for
five years, but ''never spoke of love y on
the contrary, he had frequently declared
his intention of leading a bachelors life.
Once he pat his hand to the ball-handle,
and was admitted.
"Oh, James," exclaimed Miss Jane,
where have you kept yourself so long p
This took Smithson little aback, for
he had spent the preceding evening with
the family. Before he could answer,
however, 1;;Jane's brothers and sisters
(eight or ten in number) had gathered
about him. Summoning all his courage,
he said

"Not here, James not-now-oh !"
"That is" stammered Smithson, eff
you're not engaged"
so! y! waCer-quick ~
"What's that? inquired her father !;
"who says engaged 2"
81 didn't mean,'' said Smithson, in
conclusion.
"Of course not,' continued Mr.. Brown
ly; "you've always been our favorite !"
Then advancing and taking poor Smith
sons hand, he said
"Take her-she's good girl, and loves
you to distraction. May you ever DO
happy as the day is long"
Thereupon father, aud mother, and
children crowded about Smithson and
wished him joy, apd company coming in
at the moment, the affair was told to them
as profound secret. So Smithsou got
wife without popping the question, and
almost before he knew it himself. But
we caunot help thinking he was hurried
into matrimony.

A PHENOMENON IN IRELiND-Rev
Patrick Malone, parish priest of Boln ul
let, writes to Dublin paper about an ex.
tr&ordlnary convulsion of nature which
occurred within eleven miles OF that town
few nights ago. The "sido of noun.
tain was raised from its bed and sud deu-
ly breaking up into huge fragments, pro.
cceded down tho inclined surface, carry
ing destruction in its course, until it
spent its fury in the waters of the Allan
tic." The portion of mountain which
broke up contained an area of about forty
acres, and though the elevation was not
more than one foot in fifteen, the great
altitude from which the subterranean cur
rent descended accounts, he thinks, for
the irresistible force which attended it,
Hundreds Of large fragments, some of
them measuring two thousand cubic feet,
are now, Mr.. Malone says, to be seen
thrown on either side and strewn upon
the undisturbed plane, without the ap.
pearance of water having accompanied
them there. His explanation OF the phe-
nomenon is that the great drought of the
preceding two months created vacuum
between the peat surface and its gravelly
substratum. The heavy fall of rain being
pressed into the cavity produced the erup-
ton. Several families had narrow es.
cape OF their lives, some persons having
been carried forward distance on the
breaking ground. The bog debris is
scattered over the crops Of several poor
men, road is blocked by the fragments,
dale closed up, and valley created
'where nothing but mountain appeared
before"

A Romantic Love Story.

The Count de st. Croix, belonging to
one Of the noblcst and weaIthiest families
in France, became engaged, after long
and assiduous courtship, to lady, his
equal In position and fortune, and famous
for her beauty. Shortly after the happy
day was appointed which vas to unite two
loving hearts iu one, the Count was imme-
diately ordered to the seige of Sebastop0l :;
so he girded on his sabre, and at the head
OF his reg lment marched to the battle
field.
During the Counts absence it happen
ed that the beautiful fancee had the small.
pox. After lowering between life and
death for many days she recovered her
health, but found her beauty hopelessiy
lost. The disease had assumed in her
case the most viru(ent form, aud left her
not on y dsfgured, but scanned and scar
red to such frightful extent that she be-
came hideous to herself, and resolved to
pass the remainder of her days in the
strictost sccusion.
A year passed away, when, one day,
the Count immediately upon his return to
France, accompanied By his valet, pre-
sented himself at the residence of his be.
trothed and solicited an interview. This
was refused. He, however, pressed his
suit, and the lady made her appearance
closely muffl3d in double veil. At the
sound Of her voice the Count rushed for
ward to embrace her, but stepping aside
she trembIingly told him the story of her
sorrows and burst into tears. A heaven
ly smile broke over the Counts handsome
ieatnrcs as, raising bis hands above, he
exclaimed "It is Gods work. am

The Cathedral Bells.

The inhabitants of Limerick are proud
of their cathedral bells, and vel they
may be for they are passing sweet. They
boast that they were brought from Italy,
and tell of their having occupied the skill
of clever young artist for some years.
By the time he had manufactured them,
their chime had taken such possession of his
heart, that he resolved never to leave them;
SO that when he sold them to prior of
convent, he removed to their neighborhood,
that he might still hear their music he
hoped they would toll his requiem.
Troubles came-he lost his property
the convent was laid waste-the bell,
were taken away-and this grieved the
artist more than any of his losses. lie
wandered over the countries Of Europe,
hoping to find the spot where his bells
might be.
Years sitter they had been manufactur-
ed, it happened that towards the close oI
spring, on lovely evening, a vessel had
anchored at some distance from Limerick,
and boat was seen to glide from it alon@

kicks, winks and blinks, and has already
successfully progressed for over fort,
night of its terrestrial existence. Both
mouths are in operation when being fed !;
the two upper eyes, which are located dl-
rectly in the forehead, seem to be sympa-

four perfect. The body Of the animal

A WONDERFUL INvENTIoN.-Rev.
Ashby Stephens, well,known throughout
West Virginia, as Methodist minister,
now teacher at Point Pleasant, has in
vented clock which may be justly rank
ed among the remarkable inventions of
the times. 1t is not, accurately speaking,
clock, but an attachment which may be
joined to any clock. 1t calculates with
scientific precision the rising and setting
of the sun, moon and stars. Shows the
changes in the moon, aud calculates all
the eclipses. 1t shows the right ascen-
sion and declension of the stars, the place
Of the sun or moon in the zodiac, and in
what constellation, with many other of
tho celestial phenomena, thus it will do
for ono hundred years to come. At the
end Of that time it would have to be stop
ped, so as to lose day to make the cal
cula5on correct for the next hun lred
years---a necessity growing out of the
fact, understood by scientific men, that
calendar time does not absolutely CORES
pond with actual time, SO that in a ceutu-
ny the former gains day. Mr.. Stephens,
who seems to have genius for mechan-
ism, made this continuance throughout
with his own hands. He calls it an "as-
Economical clock" and intends claiming a
patent for it Wheeling MtelHgencer.
