A Hog in a Cofin-A Grave Joke.

We had dispatch from Delphi this morning, an
nouncing that Joel Dewey, a mad wag of that city,
was dead and that his remains would arrive by the
express to be inferred this afternoon The dis
patch reached about twelve, the train was already
in and the cold copus at the express Office. SYM
pathizing crowd assembled. Many who had know n
Joel in the flesh gathered about minge their tears
and sghs the sad occasion. It was curious to
hear the reflections of the bereaved they gathered
about. "Alas poor JOEL" said one, "what loss to
the church, to the State, TO the Y. NJ. c. A., to the
Sabbath school, to the Temple and to the Sons of
Malta. Who will build the wigwam, who will write
poetry for the night blooming Cereus?" One poor
mouruer who had been scing onions to stimulate
the lacrymose, wiped the tears from his eyes and
marked-"I presented Joel with white hat iu 1882,

mourning crowd was much disappointed. They had
become fully resigned to Joels loss and were highly
indignant at the sell. It seems that Joel is the i'm
porter of some rare swine. He wanted we should
have one, and finding a coffin among the old para
phernaiis of the Sons of Malta, of which he is the

On Wednesday two boys. named
Lynch and Nicholson, aged respective
ly nine and ten years. went to the woods
west of the city, to get piece OF hick-
ory to make bow. They wandered
out so far they got lost. In their bewiI-
dered state they searched about for
some landmark that would lead them to
their homes. While thus engaged. they
espied black lamb frisking about near
them, and young Lyncn told Nicholson
that he was going to catch it. and accor
dinghy gave chase. In few moments
he and the lamb had both disappeared in
the thick underbrush. Nichols son. after
waiting some time for Lynch to return,
set about to find the way back to the
city himself, which he succeeded in do
ing, and arrived at home late in the eve
ming. Young Lynch, however, was not
so fortunate. He wandered about in the
wood till late at night, when he Lost all
hope in finding his way ont of the for
est, and laid down beside log and
slept till the next morning. Being re
freshed by his sleep he again went
forth with more buoyant hopes to find
his way home. But he was again
doomed to disappointment and after
strolling through the wood all day
(ThursfaY) }, was compelled to make his
bed upon the Geld ground. with no Gov
er but the blue sky. He had but Just
laid himself down when an unexpected
but welcome visitor arrived to share his
bed and keep iIim company This
strange visitor was a large Newfound
land dog. which stayed with the little
fellow till Friday morning A short
time after daybreak t:e dog showed
signs of great anxiety and uneasiness
and started to leave young Lynch. but
he had enough foresight to follow the
dog, and was conducted by the faithful
animal to the road, where he saw man
upon wagon He hailed the man, and
after telling his adventure, was put into
the wagon and brought to his home
The joy OF his parents upon his return
can be better imagined than described
After searching for their boy in every
place where it was thought he could be
without avail, they had, about given up
all hope of finding him, and there is
probability if it had not been for the
faithful Newfoundland dog, the child
would have starved to death or died of
grief in the lonely forest During the
two days and nights that he was lost he
was without q mouthful to eat, and his
countenance showed plainly that he had
lndulged extensively in tears.

Geo. Wilkes in his las. Spirit of the
Times, thus clearly embodies the public
sentiment on the impeachment testimo-
ny:
We have. therefore, from the present
stand point a pretty fair view of the gen.
eral aspect ofthe case as it will finally
go to the Senate from both sides. There
can hardly be anything new adduced
which can materially alter the case SO
far as the defence is concerned, for
their answer, by confession, is already
made to the weightiest points of all. We
do not, therefore, hesitate to predict
that every vote of the majority will be
sure to support the main charge of the
impeachment, and will venture to say
further that we shall expect to see that
majority reinforced from the minority
by tive or three votes more. Senators
may differ conscientiously on the con-
of q proposed enactment
but they will not be ready, as lawyers
and Senators, to face their oaths with
the deliberate vote that the Executive
has right to recognize law one day
and defy it another, or that he has the
right at all, by virtue of his own impe-
rial will, to decide what laws he will
carry out and what laws he will repudi-
ate. There is a future, desirable above
worldly Office, against which such vo-
ting as that will be found to be dis
qualifying act.

HAVING A LITTLE FUN WITH THE
BOYS. 1T = EefHss

4 We have recently heard good story
I-good only As it represents the moral
condition of Oshkosh society A min
lister from neighboring town started
to go over there one day last week, on
q kind OF missionary enterprise. He
drove his own team, and when within
six miles of the end Of his journey be
met man imping along with the blood
| running down one side of his face.
The minister asked him ii that was the
road to Oshkosh: q - ssas'~
''Yes. you are on the right road,
just come from there. I've been up
there having a little fun with the boys
About two miles further on he met
another man, one arm in sling one
| eye badly bunged. and his clothing in
badly dilapidated condition
"How far is it to Oshkosh 80 asked
the minister
"Only (h,ic) five miles, answered
the pitiable object Oshkosh is live
town; I've just been up there having
little fun with the boys
With sad heart the minister drove
on, falling into reverie on the deprav.
ity of man in general and the Oshkosh
ians in particular, when he suddenly
came upon man sitting by the si.le OF
the road. One leg was sprained, one
ear had been bitten off, and, seated by
puddle of water he was seeking relief
by bathing the parts affected. The
minister was perfectly awe struck.
Stopping his horse, he inquired of the
man what terrible accident had befallen
him. s
oh! not any at ALL responded the
bleeding wreck. I have only been up
to Oshkosh having little fun with the
boys
Il suppose you mean by that that you
have been engaged in some brutalizing
fight said the minister.
Yes. said the man, Il have heard
that's what they call it down at Fond
dn Lac, where they are civilized; but
they don't call it by that name up at
Oshkosh. There they call it having a
little fun with the boys
What do you suppose your wife will
say when she sees you,' asked the rever-
end gentleman.
At this the man looked up with sar.
donic smile. Putting his remaining
we'll hand into a pocket he drew forth a
piece of nose, a large lock of hair, to
which a part Of the scalp was attached,
and a piece of flesh he had bitten from
the cheek of his opponent, and holding
them out for the minister's inspection,
growled out: "a T5H@3 s
There, what do you suppose his wife
will say when she sees him?'
This was. squelcher. As anxious
as the minister was to overcome sin and
do good. he was not yet prepared 60 in
wade the devils stronghold, and turn
ing around he returned home. The
next time he starts on a missionary
enterprise to the frontier towns Of
Oshkosh, he will take good care not to
go alone. He likes little fun now and
then. but he don't care about having it
with the boys
