SINGULAR Occurrence.

The Richmond (Va) Enquirer
Says The bursting of a waterspout
at sea isla common and dangerous
occurrence, but such is the adroit-
ness displayed by the ladies in the
arrangement of the disgusting pro
tuberances yclept '"waterfalls, ''that
accidents seldom occur to them, al
though when they do, they are by
no means void of peril to spectators
possessed of a keen sense of the lu-
dicrous. '|
One Of these singular accidents,
however, befell a ladyWqrshipper at
Trinity Church, on Sunday last, As
she arose from prayer her waterfall
suddenly exploded, and scattered
far and wide vast amount of Vari-
Gus material, to the infinite amuse-
ment other particular female friends,
the horror of the devout, and the
edifcation and astonishment of all
young bachelors who witnessed the
sad catastrophe. The contents en-
braced, we presume, the traditionary
old stocking, the usual quantity of
rags, and the other miscellany which
compose the fine heads of hair worn
by our modern fair ones. g1l b

Copperheads are making a great
fuss over the soldiers just now, with
the evidentintention to get as many
of their votes as possible at the
coming election. AS a general
thing they manage to cover up their
real feelings and endeayor to make
the soldier believe that they,are and
always have been his best friends.
Now and then, however, one more
independent than his fellows breaks
his leading strings, and in a very
few words lets it be known just what
position they occupy. ul

Road Making.

The following hints upon this
subject will be worthy of consider
alton; and as in the spring much
time is devoted to repairing and
making roads, we give them for the
benefit Of farmers and others; .
'In road making, one great red
juisite is the ready and total removal
of all water. There cannot be a
GOOD road where water stands by
the side of or on it. If the ditch,
es have no ready outlet, the road
bed will soak up the moisture more
or less by capillary attraction, and
thus remain rutted and muddy. 1t
is vain to think of having a good
road on a subsoil filled with stag
nant water Even on side hills, if
water remains on the upper side, it
will iniure the road by passing un-
der the road. Provide then, if pos
sible, for the thorough drainage OF
your roads, either by surface Or COW
cred bitches. See that the ad-bed
is evenly and slightly rounded, so
that the water can readily find its
way to the drains. If the soil is
clayey or loamy, give it few inch
es of gravel, or even coarse sand,
and YOU will have a fine and pleas
ant passage-way. If the soil is
sandy, it needs an addition of clay
to correct it, and this will correct it
SO that good roads may be had over
the lightest sandy soils'9 ma

"A few days since a gentleman
from a distance visited Columbus,
Ohio, on business, and having a
leisure hour, concluded to call on
Miss -, with whom he had some
acquaintance. He went, rang the
bell, and when she made her appear
ance at the door he did not recog-
nize her in her kitchen attire, He
asked if Miss - was at home.
She very prudently accepted the sit
uation, and informed him that she
was in, and after seating him in the
parlor retired, as she observed, to
inform her of his presence. She
went to her dressing room, and af-
ter thorough re-gigging, applica-
ton Of paints, powders, false curls,
filters, etc, she presented herself a
second time, when she was at once
recognized by the gent. Of course
pleasant hour was whiled away,
during which she found occasion to
apologize for not making her ap-
pearance sooner than she did. How
many ways deception shows itself.

Tho Kansas Earthquake.

On the afternoon Of April 9th a
shock Of an earthquake was felt
through Western Missouri and Kan
sas, being particularly noticeable
along the Missouri river border of
the two States. Leayenworth, Law
renee, Junction City, Kansas City
and ST. Joseph were favored with
decided shocks, causing considera-
bic alright in those places. The
Leavenworth Builetia gives the fol-
lowing account of the sensation in
that town:
We were sitting at our office win
dow in the third story Of q brick
building, A general trembling of
the building and rafting of the
windows, quite unusual, first attract.
ed our attention. 1t felt like the
result Of rolling barrels upon the
lower floor. Then came pause of
a few seconds, followed by a trem-
bling and vibrating motion of the
whole building. in such forcible
manner as to impress every one of
the imminent danger of its falling.
Compositors fed their cases, and
every one sought the street for safe
ty and what was true of this office
was also true of the entire city, so
far as we could see. Blanched IA
ces and trembling hands were the
rule, steady nerves the exception,
among the crowd that so hastily
found their way to the street.
The sensation called to mind that
produced by the breaking of an
axle under moving train. The
vibration Of the building in which
we write could not have been less
than three inches ffom east to west,
as pendulum clocks were stopped,
and the plaster shaken from the up
per ceiling. "
The second shock came with such
vehemence and power that all rush
ed instantly to the open air. The
streets were filled with crowd;
some terror stricken Others laugh
ing-all more or less pallid or flush
ed, as fear or excitement held the
mastery. Men who had not been
on speaking terms for years ex-
changed remarks, and it was soon
settled that we had an earthquake,
a genuine one AT this moment the
universal equality of man WAS won
derfully realized.
The effects of the earthquake
were only apparent during its con-
tinuance Windows were violently
shaken; a hoarse rumbling accom-
panied with sort ofrushing sound,
as of an impalpable wind, was heard,
and an electric current passed vio-
lently through the air, every living
thing being sensible of the effect,
though too much alarmed to COM
prehend it, We have heard of but
few incidents among them; we may
mention the destruction of Mr..
Plantas crockery, which was thrown
to the floor; the overfowing piles
of dry goods on the counters of
different stores the clock in our
office WIS stopped The excite
ment for a few moments surpassed
we have ever witnessed.

STRIKE THE KNoT.-"Strike the
Fknot!!" said a gentleman one day to
his son, who, tired and weary, was
leaning on his axe over a log which
no had in vain been trying to cleave.
Then, looking at the log, the gen
tleman saw how the boy had hack
ed and chiPped all round the knot
without hitting it. Taking the ak,
he struch a few.sharp blows on the
knot, and split the log without diff
fculty. Smiling, he returned the
ak to his son, saying
"AIways strike the knot!p q
