nifty OF justice of the peace, had his first mar
riage case. He dished it up in this way. he

A TRAVELLED HEN-The st. Joseph (Mo.)
Union of the 10Th ultimo has the following !:
1--WE saw at the express Office in this city
yesterday perhaps the best Travelled hen in
the United States. She was started as hoax
from Auturn, New York, about five months
ago, and has since then been passed from one
TO another office, until she has been in about
every city and town in the Northern States.
She goes out on the St. Joseph this morning
for Omaha, and an overland trip to California
She is regular expressmen's pet, and has
been seen by nearly all of them"

STANToN's REINSTATEMENT. How comes it
that the man who sits in the Presidential chair,
by the act of a traitor and murderer, is at va
rance with the party which less than four years
ago elected him to preside over the Senate
Who has changed? All the Republicans in Con-
gress and out of it opposed to President
Johnson, or rather he is opposed to them, and
has thrown himself into the arms of those who
made war upon the constitution upon the peo-
pie, and who would subvert the Govern
ment to their own reasonable and destructive
ends. He would subvert the will of the people
he would hold that will at defiance he would
obstruct the enforcement of the laws and rein
state anarchy among us-if he could. 1t is to
chain this bold, bad man that Congress acts in
defense of liberty and law, and I'M support of
free and popular Government. If he had the
chiefs of the army with him he might cause
much blood to be shed-for that seems to be his
hope and desire but with Stanton in the War
Office, Grant at the mead of the army as the
great, watchful, ever-vigilant, collected power
full, determined lion in his path, with Sherman,
Sheridan, Meade and the other great Generals
ready to abide by the laws and enforce them at
the bayonets point, what can the poor, shorn
and baffled tyrant do? His first effort at vio-
lence will be his last. He will be crushed to
atoms by loyal voices and loyal hands the mo-
ment he raises his rebellious to strike at the
life of the Republic or the peace of the nation.
Whatever fear may have existed in the past as to
his power for harm, there is none now. His
will, we know, is great, but like the serpent,
whose poisonous fangs have been drawn, his
coling and Kissing bode no danger. The people
have passed triumphanty through too many Or
deals of late to be frustrated now by any man
however high in station or however wicked be
may be. Long live the Republic.-Sacramentc

SENSIBLE TALK.-Announcing the demise o

SENSIBLE TALK.-Announcing the demise of
the Butte County Press, a paper which lately
said that " there more intelligent white men
in this country to-day who respect the name of
the name of Abraham Lincoln, the Chico Cour-
ant says -" We remarked, some time ago, that
that could support two newspapers. We stated
that two might linger out a miserable existence
for time, but one or both would eventually 20
to the wall as sure as effects follow causes. We
have been in the newspaper business for more
than ten years, and know what it costs to run
paper, and know whereof we speak. We stated
to the projectors of the Butte County Press that
two papers could not live, and if it was deter
mined to start party paper that our office was
for sale, as we had no ambition desire to pub
lsh paper for glory, at loss of more than one
hundred dollars per month. The projectors of
the Press seemed to think that there was a for
tune in the printing business, and treated our
statement as an interested and selfish one. They
started, and have found, by experience, that
told them truly. The Press has labored through
starved and lOosing existence of thirteen
weeks, and at last succumbed to the fate that it
could not avoid. There is talk of again resusci-
tating the institution, but whoever tries it will
meet with the same fate as his predecessor If
there must be party paper in this little town,
we again say that our Office is for sale for two
papers, we again repeat, cannot live, and we
have no desire to work like slave, and endure
the vexations of editorial life for the doubtful
glory of the business"

REFORMED DSPIRITUAL1sT.-Margaret Fox, one
of the original Rochester knocking mediums,
married the Arctic explorer Kane. The follow
ing is from the New York Express of the 9th OF
December last The newspaper stories of Mrs.
Elisha Kent Kane return professionally to spir-
itualism, we requested to state, are untrue.
Compelled by circumstances to reside for time
with friends who were devoted to the "mani-
festations," Mrs. Kane's opinion of them, " e
are told, is the same, viz: that they are alto
gether unreliable, delusive and tending only to
evil the work of low order of spirits or OF
diabolical agencies. The appalling fruits of q
practical belief in them, which she had seen
have convinced her that it is her duty to warn
all who approach the subject that neither truth
nor good will come out of it and that reliance
upon "m mediums" must lead to disappointment
or to far worse results.

FLOOD WooD.-The people of Marysville are
busily engaged gathering tiood-wood. Many of
them filled their cellars with fuel prior to the
food, and now when they wish to build fire in
their garrets, they go down into their cellars in
whale boats, harpoon stick and haul it up
There she blows ~ is the exclamation from the
lookout, as stick is discovered floating on the
surface. :" Where away, my hearties ?'' comes
from the garret. "Three points off the weather

PLANTING BUoYs.-At the commencement of
the storm stakes were driven down to mark the
streets of Marysville, and when the water had
covered the stakes, inflated bladders were at
tached to them with strings, bearing the names
of the streets. The corporation limits were thus
distinctly maintained, and no railroad company
was allowed to drive "piles within its lines.

Philadelphia Doctors.

We all have heard of the shrewdness of
" Philadelphia lawyers" In fact it has become
proverb, aud is embalmed in English diction-
aries. But we never heard of one-half the evil
dences of shrewdness in the L. L. DIS that we
have in the NJ. DIS of Philadelphia. The anec-
dote of DR.. Peters, who was cornered by an in
sane man in the cupola of the State House, who
insisted upon the doctor showing his agility by
jumping to the ground from that unpleasant en-
inence, is well known, but will bear repetition.
The doctor was saved by his presence of mind
and wit, by assuring the madman that it would
be much better evidence of agility to walk down
and jump up. The madman assented to the
proposition, and upon accompanying the doctor
to the ground he was properly cared for. The
following description of an encounter with a
sane man, from the Philadelphia North american,
however, caps the climax for shrewdness and
absurdity combined. The legal gentlemen must
look to their laurels, or the medical profession
will certainly beat them all
"In the vicinity of Second and Jefferson
streets, Monday, came off comical affair
A dyer called upon doctor to have boil upon
his face submitted to the lancet. When the dyer
got into the sanctum of the disciple of Hyppo-
crates his courage failed him. The doctor pro-
posed ether; the dyer wouldn't agree to take it.
In the vicinity of the doctors office is public
house. with a 1" shuttle board " as an appendage
The doctor proposed to the dyer to repair to this
place and play game. The dyer consented
and in the excitement of the throws of the game
forgot the throes of agony under which he had
been laboring. The willy physician, after a
time, picked quarrel with the dyer. The dyer
being spunky, called the doctor foo-foo, and
dared him to knock chip off his the dyer's)
shoulder. Dyer made lunge for the doctor s
right ear, and received return blow upon the
bottom of his vest. Dyer went down before he
could rise the doctor whipped out his lancet,
and in one instant the dyer free from pain
1t was an original mode of procedure. We have
heard of curing man of cholera by bringing
against him criminal prosecution. The excite
ment made him forget his whimseys, and con-
verted him into we'll man. The case is the
first on record where doctor picked quarrel
with patient, and operated surgically upon him
according to the rules of the prize-ring The
record now stands, q first blood for the doctor"
who carried triumphantly to the bank to
draw the check he received on the spot as fee
for his services"

The Old Year and the New.
The red light Of the frozen North
Streamed up the starlit blue,
And in the rosy radiance talked
The Old Year and the New.

And in the rosy radiance talked
The Old Year and the New.
The Old year gray, and bent with care,
And shivering in the icy air;
The New, boy with beardless cheek,
Eager to act, and quick to speak,
Who, breaking his own joyous song,
Said: Brighter days come in
Times glorious victory over wrong,
Shall with my reign begin.
Sharing their secrets, will walk
With knowledge and with art,
Yet seek with fervent love to thrill
The worlds slow pulsing heart
Fairer than all the way before
Will be the path tread;
And the great works which shall do,
Will live when am dead
Immortality to light and cheer
The souls of men," The sad Old Year
Shook his gray head, and said: " Beware!
/ once gave promises as fair
And made as idle boasts as you;
But when our course in life is run,
The humblest good which we hare done,
Is more Of soace than the best,
And bravest deeds meant to do.''

yesterday committee of ladies, selling
tickets for the festival of the Sixth-street Meth
odist Church, made descent on the assembled
Solons, and fairly made the money fly. 1t was
refreshing to see how readily the Democratic
members went down into their pockets and
sheed out the coin demanded by the ladies.
No use to talk about the Democracy being down
on the NJ E. Church after this exhibition of me-
talc generosity. But then it was the fair COM
mittee who did the business. Political preach
ing and clerical anathemas against Copperheads
were all forgotten and forgiven under their
bright eyes and sweet smiles. There is some
thing about the fair sex that Democrats cannot
resist. Prentice says it pertains to little girls
also, and grows them as they get older. How
this is your correspondent is of course unable to
say but the veteran editorial beau of the Louis
vile Journal ought to know"
