LANoILLB CoUSTY.-The railroad sur
vey through the Lamoille Valley is pro-
crossing st the rate OF three or four
miles per day, the surveyors having
reached Morristown from Danville, and
thus far the route has been proven to be
very feasible, with light grades, hardly to
be surpassed in the New England States.
The people in the valley are alive to
their work, and one Of the first bills to
be asked for at the opening of the Legis-
lature will be charter for the pro-
posed road.

EuRoPEAS NEws.-Serious riots have
broken out at Udine, a town of Northern
Italy, sixty miles from Venice. Armed
bands have paraded the streets clamor-
Ing for revolution" These bands were
largely composed OF Garibaldian volun'
teers who had been compelled TO ny from
the Roman frontier by the Italian troops.
Dispa tches received also set forth that
the excitement was spreading, and that
the partisans of Garibaldi are creating
tumults In various parts OF Italy for the
purpose Of attaining the release of their
leader. 1t is said that King Victor
Emanuel is about to issue proclams-
tion calling an extraordinary session of
the Italian Parliament. The news of the
arrest OF the chief OF the party of action
was provocative OF great indignation in
Geneva, and crowds assembled in the
streets and loudly demanded the release
OF the prisoner.
Fears are entertained In Dublin that
the Fenians Of that city propose to make
desperate attempt to rescue Capt.
Moriarty, who is now undergoing his
sentence Of Imprisonment. The Gov
eminent is taking all necessary precau.
tions to Illustrate the attempt, and has
sent forty OF the Fenisn convicts, who
have hitherto been imprisoned in the
Irish j4ils, to Portland, in England,
for safe keeping. Owing to the report
that supposed Fenian vessel had been
seen { Il the coast OF County Kerry, the
Government has dispatched several gun.
boats to guard the northern and western
| coasts OF Ireland.

Hon. THADDEUs STEVENS IMPBoyEG.-
The condition OF the health of Hon.
Thaddeus Stevens is rapidly improving.
His own will even surmounts disease.
His friends throughout the country have
been unnecessarily alarmed. II is true,
however, that the hot days Of last week
did PROSTATE the old commoner very
much. He is now substantially better,
and will soon resume work on his re.

MISCELLANY.
Marbles.

No better indication of the approacho Of spring
can be found than in the groups Of marble-play-
ing boys. The blue-birds and swallows are
not more so. The sidewalks and back alleys
are alive these bright days with the boys and
their marbles. On this subject an exchange
says.
We passed sotnO boys playing marbles yes
terday. 1t carried us back--and il amt often
that We are carried back, we generally have to
60 back afoot-to youthful days, when we used
to alag for the base," when it was play for
''fun" or for "keeps"
The man is often shadowed forth in the boy
at marbles The conscientious boy won't play
for "kecps" because he has been told that it is
gambling; and therefore wrong: If he reso-
lutey maintains his position in the face OF the
laughs and jecrs Of his companions, the chances
are that he will grow up conscientious man.
The boy who continually and systematically
cheats at marbles We wouldn't like TO trust,
either as boy or mans
There is another kind Of boy who agrees to
play for "keeps" and when he loses saysit was
for "fun." We know numbers Of men who We
think used TO play marbles that way.
Then there is the boy who sticks to what he
says, and If he loses he does it without whim-
per. He may not be as good as the conscen-
tious boy, bu. the principle Of honor is in him
that will win respect WHEN he comes to play q
bigger game in life than that Of marbles.
There is sharp, wide-awake boy, who
watches the game with the eye Of lynx, and
is quick to detect weakness in anotber's game,
and to cover up any in his own. He shouts
"knuckle tight" oftener than any one else, and
if player drops his marble be will yell "fen
slips" quicker than the player can say "slips,"
to the lattcrs discontinue, sending him back
to the severance" The cunning diplomatist is
there, who is skilled in the "rounds," by which
he takes advantage of all favoring circumstan-
ces. In short, very many phases Of human
nature are portrayed in the boys game Of mar
bles.
We observed one thing in the game we
glanced at yesterday. Each of the boys had a
bit Of some kind of soft fur to rest their hands
on when making shot, to keep them from
being soiled by contact with the earth. This
was a refinement Of the game Of marbles that
We never saw before Dirty hands and around
patch Of mud on each knee, we considered in
separable from the game. We would have
been whipped for lying If we had come home
to our parents in any othef pligh. and said we
had been playing marbles. Bdt The world is
improying.-Bu6dlo Adreriser:

Farewell Eyes.

While DR.. Carpenter, who was recently at
the Bangor house, he was called upon by n
tough customer Of sixty, whose eyes showed
plainly that brandy aud water were no stran-
gers to him, and suggested that ardent spirits
might have something to DO with his condition.
"Oh, me-" said the old fellow, 81 don't drink
enough to hurt anybody. take something
stimulating when get up, and then again just
before breakfast, then ouly once at eleven O.
clock and a little dose before and alter dinner
to help digestion; don't take anything more
till four o'clock, and only a little before and
after supper, and just before 90 tobed. That
alp said the doctor "Never take any more
unless somebody invites me" said the man.
"Well, sir" said the Doctor, 81 think can

you to leave off drinking entirely What "

"No, sir, not drop; and if you don't leave
off you are liable to become blind Then

Little Things.

The prcciousness Of little things was never
more beautifully expressed than in the follow
ing moroccan by b. F. Taylor:
Little martin bones Of homes are generally
the most happy and cozy; little villages are
nearer to being atoms Of shattered paradise
than ANYTHING we know cf ard little fortunes
bring the most content, ard little hopes the
least disappointinents. Little words are the
sweetest to hear Gtilc charities fly furshest,
and stay longest on the wing little lakes are
the stillest. little hearts the fal,ess, and little
farms the best TILED Little books are the
most read. and little songs the most loved
And when nature would make anything espc-
cially rare and beautiful, she makes it little,
little pearls, little diamonds, little dews.-
Everybody calls that little that they love best
on earth. We once heard good sort Of nan
speak Of his little wife, and we fancied she
must be perfect iitle bijou Of wife. We
saw her, and she weighed 2Io; we were sur
prised. But then it was no joke; tbemanmeant

room for other things beside; and what was
she but precious, and what was she but little

A ToUCHIyG INCIDEHT.--On yesterday
morning. John Clark, an inmate Of our county
Jail, awaiting his trial at the next May, term
of the Circuit Court, was informed by woman
of his acquaintance, that his wife, previously
residing in Washington city, was dead; that
her body had been brought to Alexandra for
interment, and was then in house not more
than a square from the Jail. He sent for Mr..
Padgett, the jailor, and requested permission
to look for the last time upon the remains of
the partner of his bosom. Mr.. p. promised
him that anything that could be done towards
obtaining the asked for permission should be
done Immediately and started at once in search
of Capt. James NJ. Steuart, Sheriff, but learn
ing that Captain Steuart had Just left to serve
writ in the county, he followed on foot
through rain and mud, and succeeded in over
hauling him before he reached the place of his
destination, and communicated the facts to
him. Capt. S. returned Immediately, and, ac-
companied by Mr. Padgett, took Clarke to see
his wife. He gazed for few moments upon
her lfeless form his strong frame was unner-

A HORRIBLE OUTRAGE-About o'clock on
Monday evening, Kate Gamble, young girl
16 years of age, left her residence, IN Ninth
street. Philadelphia, upon an errand. About
square from the house she passed her brother,
and square further on she was accosted by a
man who suddenly seized her by both hands.
She was terrified at the demonstration, and
struggled desperately. "Don'tyou know me?"
asked the iuan. The next instant the man
drew from his pocket large phial, the con-
tents of which were caustic potassa. This he
threw into the face of the child and then took
to his heels. At first the girl supposed the
man to have been playing with her, and
wiping off what she supposed to be water, pas
sed on her way. in few minutes the caus-
tic penetrated the cuticle, and began its course
into the flesh. Since then the albumen COM
posing the left eye has been so far dissolved
that the Sights forever gone, and in her checks
great seams have been eaten. The police have
searched ever since for the author of the OUT
rage and believe that the child was mistaken
for some other pcrson-Phld. american.

A WHoPPER.-The Rochester Express Of
Thursday evening says; "Mrs Hughes, resi-
ding in Caledonia Avenue killed hen yester-
day, and from its body she took upwards of
fifty eggs, nearly dozen of which were full
sized and perfect, excepting the shell. The
hen went ON her nest every day coming off
with the install noisy cackle, but failed to leave
any eggs there, and a post mortem examina-
ton shows that from some explained cause
they accumulated in her body. She appeared
healthy and quite fat. She was a last year 5
pullet."

RATHER BE FLoGGED.-In Judge Spences
court, at Lynchburg, Va, a few days ago, Capt.
Don. P. Halsey, In behalf of certain negro
clients of his who had been sentenced to i'm
prisonment in jail for various petty oifenses,
moved that the sentence of the court be COM
muted to public whipping. Two Of the ne
groes were men whose families depended upon
their labor, and were suffering while they were
kept in durance. These persons, therefore de-
sired to be flogged and set at large. The court
refused the motion, on the ground that there
was no legal authority or precedent to justify
such haction-Lynchbmy Republican.

DEFERRED ARTICLES.
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.

A regular monthly meeting of the Directors
of the Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad Company
took place on the 18th at their office, Camden
station; the President, J. w. Garrett, Esq, in
the chair. The Committee on Transportation
reported resolution reducing the rate OF
transportation on coal from Cumberland and
Piedmont to Baltimore 90 cts. per ton, and on
gas coal from NewbuIg Fairmountand Clarks-
burg 90 cts. per ton also corresponding re-
duction Of way rates for coal upon the road
and branches, all of which to take effect on
the 18th instant The President stated i'll con-
nection with this subject, that contrary to
general expectation during the last season the
necessares of life had continued at high prices,
and consequently there had been no decline in
the high price of labor. The cost of material and
labor. and of the working expences of the road
generally, are still very high and such as did
not Justify any reduction in the present moder-
ate tariff; but as the prospect for reduction IN
the cost of living had improved, and as 1t was
the earnest desire of the Company to aid the
manufacturing, steamship, and all the other
great interests which would be benefited by n
reduction in the price of coal, he was prepared
to advise the adoption of the report of the
committee lie hoped the Company would at
an carly day be enabled to reduce its expenses,
and with its largely improved facilities 10y its
increased double track, and with its immense
equipment, accomplish large increase IN this
highly important traffic. The rates from Cum
berland to Locust Point will be reduced under
the resolution from Ss to S2,70 per ton, and
from Piedmont to the same point from $3.S5
to $3.O5 per ton. 1t will be noted that these
rates reduce the transportation to the low figure
of u cts. per ton per mile. After somc fur
ther discussion, the report of the committee
was adopted, and the reduced tariff will be
placed in operation on Monday next.

ANOTHER SNAKE SroRY,--The Vicksburg
Times, of December 10th, is responsible for
the following: "Some fatboatmet at Milli-
ken's Bend, rot long since, saw long black
snake, iaziiy watching the gradually length
ening ridge of earth peculiar to the subsoil
navigation Of the mole. The little burrower
merged at the root Of tree, and the snake
with one lungc, captured and swallowed him.
The observers of this sad affair thought it was
all over with poor mole, but nothing daunted,
perhaps unaware Of his perilous position, he
kept on scratching until he came out at tho
small end of the snake, who, feeling suddenly
that he had been cheated out Of square meal,
turned and swallowed him again, with tho
same result as before. The captain Of tho
flatboat, in every respect reliable gentleman,
informs us that this singular contest was con-
tinued for eight hours, with no variation, cx-
cept that the mole, as he became better ac-
quaintcd with the route, made faster time on
his trips. Finally, the snake, completely dis
giisted with the mole, allowed il TO go in peace,
and dragging himself 10 hickory tree. butted
his brains out against its roots. On being
opened, his 'innards, from end TO end, werc
found to be as slick and smooth as the inside
of lady's thmble."
