MISCELLRNE0uS.

suPERsTlTIoN-A singular instance
of popular superstition occurred a few
days since at Meycross, in the west Of
the county Of Cork, and had well
nigh been attended with serious CON
sequences. The body Of an American
captain, whose vessel had been wreck
ed on the coast, was recently washed
ashore, and buried in the Meycross
churchyard. His friends, however,
desired to remove the remains to the
United States, and proceeded to dis
inter them for that purpose. The
peasantry have traditional belief
that the removal of body that has
been tor some time buried causes ex-
traordinary motality in the locality
for the next twelve months, and they
therefore regard such a proceeding
with horror. When the party came to
exhume the remains, they found an
unexpected opposition, which every
effort failed to overcome. The people,
filled with excitement, rushed to the
graveyard armed with every weapon
upon which they could lay hands, and
drove the strangers forcibly away
The parish priest interfered, and
attempted to persuade them that their
alarm was groundless, but they would
not listen to him, and they persisted
in refusing to let the grave be disturb
ed. So bent are they upon prevent
ing it that they have sentinels watch.
ing day and night, lest the object
should be effected by surprise.

A STATEN ISLAND JURY.-At a
period when Judge Ambrose Spencer
was on the bench of the Supreme
Court of New York-this was upwards
of forty five years ago-there was on
Staten Island a lawless set of men en-
gagged in villainous wrecking and
kindred pursuits to such an extent as
to lower the morality and standing of
the island in universal estimation
Judge Spencer, presiding at circuit
held there, was trying a man who had
committed some gross and high crime.
The evidence was clear in proof of
his guilt, and his honor charged
strongly against him. The jury, how
ever, brought in verdict of not gull
ty. The large and commanding fig
ure of the judge, rose and lowered
itself to its full height.
prisoner" said his honor, in the
severest and loudest tones, II have to
address you in two directions; firstly,
you have had most extraordinary
escape from condign punishmentwhich
you deserved; and secondly, you may
be assured the time will come when
you will be tried at another bar,
where, it is some satisfaction even
now to know, there will be no Staten
Island jury to aequit you"

|, STRANGE.-There is a farmer at
Mentz who pays great attention to
bees, and owns great many hives
He exerts such influence on his bees
that all his swarms enter his window
every morning as soon as he opens it,
as if to bid him good-morning. They
never alight, but buzz and fly around
his head until he bids them alight,
which he does by sign, by holding
ont his arms. They alight on them,
and he looks as if he wore pair of
immense muffs. When the servant
announces breakfast, they immediate
ly quit his arms, without being told,
and cover the table, avoiding the
dishes and plates. When he sits at
the table, he orders them to the hive;
but before going they all light in turn
on his face to kits him, and when all
of them have touched his face the
swarm retire. This sounds "fshy;"
but the paper from which it is trans
lated is a grave newspaper, and
youches for its truth. 2e oe

The MINcE PIE.-She threw herself
upon his breast and wept. ,.2 ~
AS she ceased weeping, he groaned

each others arms for about two hours,

A voice fractured the solemn still

Then she lifted her tear-dimmed
eyes to the starry heavens, clasped
her hands wildly, and exclaimed:
"Come with me to the kitchen
love, and thou shalt eat thy fill, for
there were three of 'em left at din
ner." aH a
They clasped each other by the
hand, and rushed to the pantry.
Two mince pies had disappeared,
and the third was about to share the
same fate, when a stealthy step was
heard. 2 f

the old woman, I know!" And she
fell fainting at his feet. 4J aH9
The old woman stood face to face
with Eugene-and she asked him
what he had been doing with the gal =?
He said he hadn't done nothin'. She
seized upon the remaining pie, and
with the ferocity of a tigress she
chucked it at him. a-.Ig mi
Her aim had been too true. She
hit him in the pit of the stomach, and
he fell at her feet corpse. They
buried them in one grave, and every
spring the village maidens plant on
ions over the place where lie the two
lovers at last united. a7 y. agTa 3 .

LTBERAL,-Not many years since,
in West Plymouth, N. H., it used to
be the custom for the schoolmaster to
board Ground" among the families Of
his pupils, SO as to save expense.
Sometimes, Of course, the days didn't
come out quite even; there would be
eight and one-half days at one house
and nine at another. One man, who
was notorious for his meanness, Just
before the schoolmaster began his din
ner, said to him: "Mr. 80, sup
pose by rights that your time is up
just about half way through this din
ner. That's as near as kin make it,
and I've calculated pretty close. But

you can eat just about as much as
you would for ordinary"

BURR AND HAMILToN.-Dr. Mott.
speaking Of Burr and Hamilton, said
Burr, above all men whom / ever
knew, possessed the most consummate
tact in evading and covering up the
arguments Of his opponent. His
great art was to throw dust into the
eyes of the jury, and make them be
4ieve that there was neither force mol
sense, nor any thing else, in the argu,
ments of the opposite counsel. He
never met position or answered an
argument, but threw around them the
mist of sophistry, and thus weakened
their force. He was the prince Of
plausibilities. He was always on the
right side, Gin his own opinion } and
always perfectly confident. a
Hamilton, on the other hand, allow
cd to the arguments of his opponents
all the weight that could be fairly
claimed for them, and attacked and
demolished them with the club of
Hercules. He would never engage
in cause unless he believed he was
on the side of justice; and he often
threw into the scale of his client the
whole weight of his personal charac-
ter and opinion. His opponents fire.
quently complained of the undue in
fiuence he thus exerted upon the court.
