The u. 5. ASSLsSOKS.-By reference to our
locals it will be seen that there has been GEN
eral change in the Deputy u. S. Assessors,
made by Gen. WOodall. The change meets
with general dissatisfaction in this town, so far
as this Division is concerned. As much, or near.
ly as much revenue is paid in Duck Greek Hid.
as IN the balance of the county, which makes it
important that the Assistant Assessor should
be located here. Besides, the recent incumbent
rendered such entire satisfaction that the busi-
ness men generally desired his continuance.
thoroughly cOnveraant with the duties of the
Office and acquainted with the law, he was al,
ways prepared to discharge his work satisfac-
torlly. As change has been made, however,
we 90 not know that better person could have
been selected than Mr.. Stevenson.
1HE EPISCOPAL CoNVENTION.-We give the
proceedings Of the Protestant Episcopal State
Convention elsewhere. The session was bar-
mOnlOus and pleasant one. The most imnor.
tant measure of general character was the
resolution offered by Col. Raymond, of this
town, with regard to the choosing of the dele.
gates to the General Convention, which lead to
considerable discussion. The State sends eight
delegates to this national council, nearly all Of
whom are chosen from New Castle county
The object of the resolution was to equalize the
representation, and was strongly supported by
the Colonel, as also Dir. Morsell, and others. The
Diocese Is IN prosperous condition, and the
Bishop makes special r.ention of the labors of
the rectOrS Of this and Dover parishes for their
efforts to extend their borders.

l LEGAL WIT.

ar d
The Cincinnati Enquirer is respon-
sible for the following:
Talking of legal wittieisms-(and,
perhaps, the proportion of wit to talk
is less in law than in anything else)
a story we have heard of the late
Thad. Stevens, beats any other.
While Thad, was a young lawyer, he
once had a case before a very bad tenn
pered judge of an obscure Pennsyl-
vania court. Under what he consid-
cred very erroneous ruling, it was
decided against him; whereupon he
threw down his books and picked up
his hat in a high state of indignation,
and was about to leave the courtroom
scattering imprecations all around him
The Judge Strengthened himself to his
full height, assumed an air of Offend
ed majesty, aud asked Thad.. il he
meant to .";express his contempt of
this court" Thad. turned to him very
deferentially, made a respectful bow,
and replied in feigned amazement !:
=" Eapress my contempt for this court!
No, sir! 1 am trying to conceal it,
your honor,"-adding, as he turned to
leave, "but it's id hard to do 1t. .

LIrrLE-nnoWN HANDS.


They drive home the COWS from the pasture,
Up and through the long shady lane,
Where the quails whistle lond in the wheat field:
That are yellow with theripenfng grain.
They find in the thick waving grasses,
Where the scarIet-dipped strawberry grows
They gather the earliest snow-drops,
And the first crimson blood of the rose.
They toss the new hay in the meadow,
They gather the elder bloom white; -,..,4,
They find where the dusky grapes purple
In the soft-tinted October light
They show where Che apples hang dpest.
And are sweeter than Italy wines:
They know where the fruit hangs the thickest
On the long, thorny blackberry vines. -,
They gather the delicate seaweeds, -
And build tiny castles in the sand;
They pick up Hthe beautiful sea shells
Fairy barks that have drifted to land.
They wave from the tall, rocking tree tops
Where the orioles hammock nest swings,
At night time are folded in slumber
BY song that a fond mother sings.
Those who toll bravely are strongest,
The humble and poor become great;
And from these brown handed children
Shall grow mighty rulers of State.
The pen of the author and statesman
The noble and wise of the land
The sword and the ehisel and palette
Shall be held in the little brown haad.

RATHER GOOD.

We have often heard of remarkable
cases of "absence of mind" Here is
one equal to anything we have seen
lately. The man was doubtless very
interesting head of the family:
II say, cap'n," said little keen
eyed man, as he landed from the
steamboat Peytona at Natchez," " az
say, cap'n, this here amt all.n
" That's all the baggage you brought
on board, sir" said the captain.
"Well, see now, grant its all o X

chests, two BAN boxes, a portmanty,
two hams-one, part cnt--three ropes,
inyuns anda tea-kettle; but yoil see,
cap'n, 1 am dubbersom. 1 feel there's
something short. Though I've count
ed 'em nine times, and never. took my
eyes off 'em while on board, there's
something not right, somehow
"Well, stranger, the time is up
there is all l know of; SO bring your
wife and five children out of the cab
in, and we are off" -. '..... - y, ~
"Them's 'em, darn it them's 'em!

A HUMAN BODY AND THE HOUR OF
DAY.

Seat yourself at table. Attach o
piece of metal ,(say a shilling) to q
thread. Having placed your elbow on
a table, hold the thread between the
points of the thumb and .foreinger,
and allow the shilling to hang in the
centre of a glass tumbler. The pulse
will Immediately cause the shilling to
vibrate like pendulum, and the vi
brations will increase until the shil-
ling strikes the side of the glass; and
suppose the time of the experiment
be at the hour of seven, OF half-past
seven, the pendulum will strike the
glass seven times, and then lose its
momentum and return to the centre;
if you hold the thread a sufficient
length of time, the effect will be re-
peated; but not until a sufficient
length of time has elapsed to COM
vince you that the experiment is eoEn4
plete. We need not add that the
thread must be held with O steady
hand, otherwise the vibrating motion
would be- contracted. AT whatever
hour of the day or night the expert
ment is made, the coincidence will bo
the same.

"Erhe little. that i have seen. in the
world, and known of the history of
mankind, teaches, me to look upon
tlieir errors in sorrow, ;not Tin. in anger,
When take the history Of one poor
heart that has sinned and suffered, and
represent to myself the struggles and
temptations it passed through-the
briefpulsations ofijos the tears OF
regret, the 9feeblenessa of purpose, the
scorn of the world that has little char

A SHORT STORY.

BY the side of the murmuring stream,
An elderly gentleman sat;
On the top of his head was his wig,
And top of his wig was his hat
The wind it blew high and blew strong,
As the elderly gentleman sat;
And it tore from his head in a trice,
And plunged in the river his hat ,,1
The gentleman then took his cane,
Which lay by his side as he=sat,
And he dropped in, the elriVer his wig III +
In attempting to get out his hat =.sfs -
His breast it grew cold with despair, III
!, And full in his eye sadness sat; s...gzs.I
So he flung in the river his cane, ~
10 swim with his wig and his hat.

- Many thanks to T. II. Hoskinson,
NJ. d., proprietor of the Memphremagog
seed farm nursery at Newport, for
package of over twenty varieties OF gar
den seeds, and for most of which we
shall soon have use. These seeds being
raised in northern Vermont are of course
suited to this latitude and can hardly be
excelled, if even equaled, by any other
seeds. We have by same means lost our
catalogue, and would like another if DIR.
Hoskinson has one to spare, as we OBJ
served some things in it which We may
like to copy about this time. His cata-
logues we believe are sent free to any
one on application.
