An old minister, while one day
pursuing his studies, was suddenly
interrupted by his wife asking him
the question-one which has puz-
zled the Oldest divines-'Do you
think we shall know each other iu
Heaven?' Without moments S
hesitation he replied: ''To be sure
we shall. Do you think we shall
be greater fools there than we are
here?"
On! MosEs.-Governor Brownlow,
of Tennessee. facetiously signs him
self ''Moses.'' The Nashville Bn2ne,
believes that if the original Moses
had been as ugly as Brownlow, Pha-
roah's daughter would never have
lifted the little "cuss" out Of the
bulrushes.
COINCIDENCE EXTRAoRDISARY.- A
remarkable, and perhaps unparallel-
ed, coincidence is recorded in the
civil registry of Bar-sur-Aube, in
France. In 1866, there were inscribed
there 106 births, 106 deaths and JOG
marriages.
A child was born a few miles South
Of Bowling Green, Clay County, Ind. j,
very much resembling Il turtle, one Of
its arms being so shaped and working
backwards, the other running to a
point like a turtles tail.
A few days ago, gentleman from
Gotham, in Chicsgo, being thirsty,
entered saloon and saw the ex-wife
of his bosom waiting upon customers
behind the bar.
A rogue, who was hard up, attempt
ed to pick the pocket of the ''local'
Of the Richmond Wig, on friday.
He got the usual amount as III such
cases made and provided-nothing.
Sidney Smith being i'll, his physi-
clan advised him to t'take walk upon
an empty stomach. " upon whose?"
said he.

excitement among the people and the
benefits to be derived therefrom Is freely
discussed. As far as we have been able
% learn, the feeling seems TO be strongly
in favor Of the issuance Of the bonds for

" that a man named John -, one Of
the Nic9lson pavement contractors, lost
an old pair Of boots. John says that
niggers won't steal from 3 northern man,
and is very confident that when they
smell the coal tar that the boots will be
returned" The captain is Of the opin-
ion that our informants, a justice and an
M d., had been taking too much pare
goric. We are glad the loss is not quite
so heavy as at first reported.
