GOLD FISH.

For the benefit of those of our readers
who have these little "pets" in their house,
hold, we give the following instructions MS
to the proper care of them, furnished by a
person having practical knowledge of
their wants:
Gold fish are not difficult to keep, but
they require attention, and if properly at
tended to will live 10 or IL years. In the first
place, use nice clean globes, and once a
week clean each globe out well, by trans
ferring your fish with a net to another re-
ceptacle, and then washing the globe with
tepid water. Use no soap however, and be
careful to keep any from getting into the
water or in the glass afterwards. Then
adopt the following rules:
/. Allow not more than one fish to Il
quart of water,
2. Use the same kind of water, whether
from spring or river, and change it daily in
summer, every other day in winter.
g. Use deep rather than shallow vessels,
with small pebbles at the bottom Ito be
kept clean) and keep them in the shade,
and in a cool part of the room.
4. Use small net, rather than the hand,
when changing the water.
5. Feed them with crackers, yolk of egg,
lettuce, flies, &C., rather than with bread,
and then only every third or fourth day,
and but little at a time.
6. DO not feed them at all from Novem-
Der to the end of February, and but little
during the three following months. If
convenient, Il little vermacelli, such as you

WoMAN's RIGHTs.--The agitation in be-
half of woman's rights is already bearing
substantial fruit. In Illinois law has been
passed by the Legislature which provides
that married woman shall be entitled to
receive and possess her own earnings and
sue for the same in her own name, free
from the interference of her husband or his
creditors John Bull proposes. to go still
further than this, add give women the same
rights in property that man have, A bill
now before Parliament provides that mar
red woman shall be as capable of holding
and dealing with real and personal estate,
of suing and being sued, as if she were
single woman, Every woman who marries
after the passing Of tho act may hold all
property, real or personal, possessed or &C
auired before or after marriage, free from
the control of her husband, and her earn
ings in any separate trade or occupation
will be regarded as hGr personal property.
On the other hand, husbands ARG not to be
liable for the debts of their wives, either
before or after marriage, nor liable in dam
ages for any wrong committed by them.
Upon the death of wife intastate, the hus-
band will take only the same share IN her
personal estate AZ a wife now takes in the
personal estate of an intestate husband.
This is in advance of any legislation ON this
subjee. In this country, but if England
passes snch Laws, tha States CT the Ameri-
can Union will not bs long In following

to reconsider tho old vote on annexation,
greatly different from the calculations Of
Dover Centre, the whole thing has come to
light. IL is now known that at the same
time these pious people were portraying the
evils of annexation and intmidating East
Dover to vote with them for a town-house
at the Centre, they were trying the West
Dover people, or those in favor Of annexa-
ton, to get up town meeting for that pur-
pose, saying that they were all right, would
go for II almost to n man, and that the meas
ure could be carried by large majority.
Fortunately West Dover did not take the
bait so temptngly held before them, and the
whole thing Is now quite well understood
by the town. The day Of bargain and sale
of principals is past, and I think we are
now back ON our old majority of thirty or
more, and there we are bound 10 remain.
In fact the world moves and we must move
with it. These same forces which have
been quietly at work for the past half CEN
tury moving the villages and business from
the hills into the valleys, making the far
mer understand that his work can be per-
formed with one-half the labor formerly
used, and bringing about reform In almost
everything, will eventually annex Will
mington handle to Dover. Dover Centre
cannot help it, Wilmington cannot help it.
IL must come because IL is for the benefit of
a majority of the parties concerned to have
it come. do not think that any man who
understands the relative positions of Dover
and Wilmington will say IL is not right and
10. q h,,
and acknowledge what he really believes.
| Why should 1t not be annexed to Dover d?
| The inhabitants of that territory do all their
post-ofiice business here; they do all their
buying and selling here, and in fact have
belonged to Dover ever since the organiza-
ton of the town, except in the matter OF
paying taxes and casting votes. 1t is not
strange that the handle should desire 10
come to Dover when it is known that the
taxes are % per cent higher in Wilmington
than in Dover. Wherein will Dover be at
all DISCONNECTED by its coming? This talk
about the great expense that will he entail
ed upon Dover by annexation is all gam
mon. The records of Wilmington show
that the taxes of the handle have paid its
expenses in the past, and why will they not
in the future? Wilmington as town is
not anxious for annexation. She was will
ing this territory should come into that
town because its inhabitants desire it, and
because it is right and just that 1t should
do so. 1t is my candid opinion, and know
of what speak, that ifa vote could be TAX
en- in Dover to-day, this town would say,
Let the handle be annexed.

N. J. Evans has leased of j. II. Austin
the hotel ut this place, and the latter re-
moves to BrattlebOro.
The "West Dummerston Cornet Band"
after lying dormant through the winter,
has been reconstructed under more favora-
BILE auspices than ever. II now numbers
twenty or more members with S. NJ. Bur
nett as leader, and is prepared to respor d
to any call for professional services.
The quietness of our hill was very
agreeably broken last Saturday evening by
sounds of sweet music issuing forth from
the vestry of the congregational church.
We afterwards learned that the sounds were
produced by the West Dummerston Band.
The weather was too cool to listen long in
the open air, but the grand finale in front
of the church d, ew us out. We hope the
Band will come again.
Mr.. Barrett's vocal and instrumental
entertainment on Saturday, the 10th inst,

yond our expectations. Mr.. BIS happy
manner of intermingling choruses and

ing effect. He seems to have lost none of
his power as Il teacher. His success among
us has been very marked. Long may he
sway that sceptre Of his over those who de-
light in song.

EXTR.EORDI.,.
E.NO.r.

The village of st. Urban on the borders
of the Loire and the Ardeche, is all in
cOmmotion. Strange things are happening
there.
The following is what has occurred ac-
cording to a correspondence addressed to
the Memorial of the Loire:
a fortnight ago, there was born in the
hamlet child, who, from his entrance in
to the world, has manifested the most as
tonishing powers, "savans" would say the
most singular properties.
But Just baptized, he has become impalp-
a BILE and intangible! Intangible, not like
sensitive plant, but after the manner of a
Leyd en- jar, charged with electricity which
cannot be touched without experiencing a
lively shock. And thtn he is luminous
From all his extrcmtics escape, from time
to time, brilliant enIanations which make
him resemble n FREELY.
In proportion as the baby develops and
grows strong, these curious phenomena in
ere ase in energy and intensity. Even new
| ones are produced. 1t is related, for exam
pie, that when any object with a narrow
edge, such as knife, a cup, or even plate
|
child, these utensils are seized with sud
den trembling and vibration which moth
ing can explain.
1t is especially in the evening and night
that these extraordinary facts are noticea-
| BILE, and in state of slumber as well as
that of waking. Then sometimes-and this
seems like miracle-the cradle seems full
| of white light, like those beautiful phos-
phorescent appearances which follow in the
wake of ship at sea, and which science
has not yet perfectly explained.
Meanwhile the oh lid appears in no way
incommoded by the manifestations of which
his little person is the theatre. He sucks,
sleeps, and does well, and is neither less
frotful or impatient than his kind. lie has
two young brothers of four and five years
| old, who i've in the manner of most vul-
| gar peasant children. Let us add that the
parents, honest agricuturists, the husband
about forty, the wife about thirty years OF
age, are the least electric, and the least lu-
minous couple in the world. They shine
only by their honesty, and the care with
which they have brought up their little
| family.
They naturally summoned the curate OF
the neighboring commune who declared
after long and conscientious examination
that he comprehended nothing about it
then the surgeon, who felt and felt again
turned and returned, auscultated and shook
his subject, without being able to pro
nounce clearly on his ca sc, but who is nov
preparing learned report for the acade
my which will be heard of in the medica
world.
A rogue RON tho country-there are sucl
every Understanding here a nice little
speculation, has proposed to hire the chile
at the rate of 200 francs a month, "to show
him at the fairs" This is very fine affair
for the parents. But, naturally, the fathe
and mother wish to accompany so precious
a child at two francs a day, and this condi
ton still binders the conclusion of the bar
gain. If 1t had been in America it would
have been concluded a long time ago.

religion, which probably test the revo-
lutionary movement better than any other
provisions:
Article 20. The nation obliges itself to
maintain the worship and tho ministers of
the Catholic religion.
Article y. Tho public and private exer-
else of any other worship is guanteod TO all
foreigners resident in Spain, without other
limitations than the universal rules of NOR
ais and of right.
Article %. If any Spaniards profess any
other religion than the Catholic, all the dis
positions of the foregoing paragraph are APP
plicable to them.
Article "a. Every Spaniard may found
and maintain establishments of instruction
or of education, without previous license,
save the inspection of the competent
authority for reasons of health and morale
ty."
Tho same mail which brings the above
constitution also brings reports of Protes-
tant meetings held at Seville, showing that
the change is something more than OH
parchment. These things certainly indi-
cate a great advance in Spain and give
greater hopes of the future.
