Her Own Calf.

The Baldwinsville Gazette relates the
following incident:
Henry Marvin, of this village, is wide
ly known as one of the best auctioneers
in the county. 1t seems afew days since,
that he was called upon to exercise his
vocation at place near Onondaga Hill.
Among the articles to be sold was heif-
er, very attractive in appearance, and
consequently our friend Marvin dwelt
quite extensively on her many excellen-
ces in the customary vernaculaar of an
experienced auctioneer, winding up his
eloquent description with the flourish that
she was as "gentle as lamb" There
upon, long, slabsided countryman who
had listened open-mouthed to the wordy
display of our friend Marvin, whose legs
were twelve inches longer than his pants,
approached the heifer, and commenced
handling her teats. Bessy, not relishing
such familiarity, lifted her hoofs and laid
"Greeny" sprawling some ten feet off.
"There," said Henry, "that shows one
of her best traits; she'll never allow
strange calf to come near her!"
"Greeny meanwhile picked himself
up, and giving his bushy pate a harrow
ing scratch, exclaimed:
"No wonder she won't, when her own
calf has been blarting around her all
day!"
A huge roar broke from the crowd,
and our neighbor Marvin gracefully
"gave in"

From the Annual Report of the Board of Education.
Good Manners.

The statute as distinctly and specif-
cally requires that "good manners" be
taught in the public school, as that geog-
raphy, grammar or arithmetic should be
there taught. The acquisition of knowl-
edge should be accompanied by the for
nation of habits of order, industry, in
tegrity, punctuality, neatness, and man.
ly and courteous behavior. None of the
many individuals who never pass school
house without feeling of dread, lest he
be pelted, from some sly corner, with a
stone or snow ball from the hand of a
vicious boy, will need argument to con-
vince them that in the matter of good
behavior the children of this generation
do not compare favorably with those of
preceding generations.
If neglected at home, as is too often
the case, the common school is the only
place where good behavior and good man
ners can be taught the child. If taught
at home the teacher is the very person
who has it in his power, to any consider
able extent, to remedy the evil. Perhaps
a majority of the children of Vermont
receive something of culture in the mat
ter of manners at home but minority,
not insignificant, can expect no culture
/
here. save in the school-room. The quiet,
vet positive influence of the teachers de-
pertinent, is not insignificant. Still we
need the more decided influence of direct
instruction from the teacher. 1t cannot
be doubted but that the tendency OF our
free institutions is not favorable to the
best social culture. Children early i'm
bibe the heresy that freedom consists IN
having ones own will, and confound ii
with license. Foreign ignorance and SUI
perstition can only be overcome, in Its
infancy, at the public school.
"While the decay of reverence in thc
young is loudly complained OF, whil'
;, bad books are doing in angel dresses wha
Satan did in Paradise, while profanenes
and obscenity are heard in the streets
while licentiousess is firing the blood
and intemperance is maddening the brail
of virtuous youth, while criminal court
send out statements of youthful corrup
ton that stagger belief, should not some
thing extra be done to protect our risini
generation from these pestiferous exam
ples?"
If, as Cicero in his De Senerttite says
that the respect paid to age, forms an II
fallible criterion by which to determin
the moral advancement of a people, ou
q case is not hopeful one.

Indians, after taking what they could
find elsewhere, came aboat Mrs, Stone
and the children, apparently suspecting
that she had something concealed about
her. One stood with a iomahawk over
her head, and another thrust his hands
into her bosom, on which she struck him
with her card in his face, and obliged
him to desist. On this an old Indian
burst into laugh at his companions,
and cried out, "good squaw, goodsquaw!"
So great was the fear Of the Indians,
that the hooting of hunters often gave
alarm, and in some instances the mistake
was not discovered till the panic had ex-
tended to several towns, and the people
had fled considerable distance. The
following story will illustrate this: In
1880 two men were at work in remote
part of Athens, in Windham county, and
heard, as they supposed tbe yells of saw
ages. They quit their work and spread
the alarm as fast as possible. The peo-
pie, affrighted almost out of their senses,
hurried away with their women and chill
dren in as much haste as possible. One
family left their oven heating and oxen
chained to tree. The report was spread
around that the town was destroyed by
savages. In other towns the people rush
ed to arms. Some were busy all night
in preparing their guns and ammunition.
The fear of the merciless foe drove sleep
from all. But it all proceeded from the
shouting of hunter. The mistake was
corrected, and the people returned to
their habitation.
The following was one of the devices
for safety from the attack of savage In
dians. Widow Story and children, of
Salisbury, who had retreated several
times to Rutland for safety, contrived at
length to make hole in the bank of OF
ter Creek, for the purpose of security
against the savages. The passage would
admit the entrance of but one person at
time, and led to a room made large
enough for lodging To this room they
went in the dusk Of the evening, by the
aid of canoe, and left'it in the twilight
of the morning. Here, many night
they passed in security, which otherwise
would have been spent in sleepless anxi-

A Twice Unfortunate Lover.

u |
Several years ago young lady in
Tazewell county was wooed bya young
man. He obtained her consent and the
consent Of the old folks, but three days
before the wedding she took freak into
her head and went off and married an
other man. The young man was heart
broken and packed up his effects and
went to New York city. There he hid
his grief, buried himself in business, and
engaged in speculation, was successful
and became wealthy. A younger sister
of the girl that had rejected him, moved
by sympathy, commenced a correspon-
dencc with him to endeavor to mitigate
his sorrow. The correspondence became
interesting. The young girl grew up.
and as years rolled on, ripened into
great beauty. The sight Of her photo
graph awakened in the young mans bo-
som the love that he had supposed
crushed forever, and he proposed to her
and was accepted. Her father was q
widower and was anxious to get married
himself as soon as his daughter was out
of the way, so he urged the match for
ward.
The means of the lover now admitted
a brilliant wedding, and preparations
were made for it. They were to be mar
led last Wednesday in style, and depart
Immediately for New Yok city. A few
days ago the expectant bride received a
letter from her betrothed stating that he
had entered into a speculation that would
keep him in the city SO that he could not
possibly be with her at the time appoint
ed, and asking her to delay the ceremony
for day or two. He also referred othe
time when he had expected to be united
to her sister. Provoked to think that he
still remembered his former love, the
young lady wrote him IN passion, and
sitting down at the same time wrote to a
cousin of hers, a farmer in Iowa. who had
long loved her, telling him that she had
piohSh fiSA ShSnSShnSup, ASiuehS bAiC SAA-
cumstances to him and ended by saying
that she was all ready to be married, and
if he would come and be there at the
time set for her wedding she would mar
ry him.
He complied. Her betrothed in New
York, astonished to receive her letter,
closed up his business as best he could
gnd came to Tazewell county by the next
train. He reached the little village
where she lived and was Fastening up to
the house to fulfill his engagement, when
he was met by some of his friends and
told that his bride had just been mar
ried to another man. He tainted away
on the spot and was taken up to the ho-
tel. When the bride was told of it she
was overwhelmed with remorse, but it
was then too late. She was then legally
married to her cousin. The New York
er, twice heart-broken, left for his home
without seeing her, and she passed thro'
this city yesterday, on her way to an
Iowa farm. looking very detected and
like anything but a bride. --Peoria III.
