A BEAUTIFUL FoUNTAIN.-Henry Gard
ner, ofFranklin, New Hampshire has a foun-
tain upon his land which is supplied by so
powerful a spring that its stream has not
frozen during the winter. 1t is located on
the brow of the hill, about two hundred yards
from the railroad, going up, and nearly oppo-

constant gelation, an immense mass Of
ice twenty-three feet high and fifty feet in

THE FLAG KISSED IN A RICHMOND

THE FLAG KISSED IN A RICHMOND THEA
TER-An incident occurred last night al the
Richmond Theater, during the performance
of the Forty Thieves which proves beyond
a doubt that the people Of Richmond are
thoroughly reconstructed and American
lied" One of the actors, during a medley
song made up of nursery rhymes and odds
and ends, happened to sing, when it came his
turn,
THE star spsnglei banner. long may it wave -
Ere he had completed the line there was
Kisses from different parts Of the house !;
whereupon Bishop caught up the refrain of
his brother actor and added:
'O'er Afric', bur,ing sands,'
which was received with the most deafening
applause from all parts Of the house, long
continued and enthusiastic. II was encored,
and the same scene re-enacted. A number
of army officers present (all honor TO tnem)
left the house TO manifest their Indignation
at this insult offered to their country's flag.
The few d" Kisses" offered would not have
amounted to anything; but when the riba'd
Jest at the expense of the flag, received such
tremendous outburst of exultant delight,
there was no mistaking the true sentiment
of the vast majority of the house.-Rich-
mOnd State Journal of april 1874.
