Trials ofd Revenue O6icer.-A Reve-

who answers to the cognomen Of Wal.
ters recently made journey to Smytb
souuty, TO reconstruct refractory whis-
key dealers. He had made several cap-
lures and with his prisoners arrived at
the house Of a gentleman, whose name
we shall not mention, and informed him
that it would be necessary to search his
house. The landlord told him he could
do so but it was possible he would NEE
With opposition. Nothing daunted
Walters proceeded to search, when the
landlord took him by the collar and
gave him n sound threshiug. In the
! Meantime the prisoners escaped. When
he was through whipping him, he open
ed a closet and took from thence q demi
john Of Enc whiskey. Said the land
lord: "Come, Mr.. Walters, and have
something to drink. l have a little
good whisky here-Your health Mr.
Walters" When they had finished
drinking our landlord politely said -
"Mr. Walters we are about to have sup
per, sir; 1 shall be happy to have yOr
stay to tea with me-" Walters tool
him at his word and staid to tea, afte
which the landlord said, "now Mr.. Wal
ters if you wish, SIR you can proceed
with your search" 1t is needless Il
cay the search was postponed to a NOR
convenient season while they took lit
Gle more of that good whisky. The.
are now the best of friends.
The story is told as We received
from an iron-clad friend of Walters.

Bones to bring into town. II meal sack is

The salt and the sweat from Bones give a
fine fl yor to the fruit. True they don't
sell so we'll but they do for pigs to eat.
Ifyou have good apples shake the trees
before they are ripe, SO that all the wormy
ones will fall off hrst, put them in a salt
sack aud drive Wagon over them a few
times before you bring them in. IL any one
ask you what they are worth, say 81 don't

A writer in the Abingdon Tirgiaian,
in speaking Of Prof. Longley, says:-
Though we sat as spectator during the

our connection, but for short time we
hope, with this time .honored Institution,
a =" nursery" of ideas, morality and chris
tian virtues. we were gratifled to see Prof.
Longley resume bis wonted chair, which,
for the last year, has been vacant. The
glory OF this College has drawn much of its

and from bis urbane and christian bearing.
Venerable In aspect, he sat oblivious to
past grievances, and looked With an eye OF
tenderness and interest on the young men

He reads Alright the image on his soul,
And gives u nurture like child OF light.

BRIsroL, September, LIST 1869.
Friend Junior A fellow feeling prompts
me to bid you beware Of the insiduous
Vaccinations of our common enemy. Your
wild talk about your sewing IN achine and
other gallant demonstrations, makes me to
fear that the demoraliEiDg notes OF the
Katydid are proving too much for your
singieness Of purpose that ere you are
aware you will become pitiable subisct of
miSsrule. Pause, think Of the nameless
restraints and responsibilities of domestic
misery and then resolve to ram untethered
upon the high domain Of bschelerdom,
where paths if not do,tbly blessed are ways
of peace. Read the appended efuslOn
from one Of the -" blind bridalsd stock,
who thus gives utterance to the mournful
story of his thrslldom, and yet the poor
wretch, in his infatuation, like the needless
moth, still tlutters about the centre of his
woes, Indifferent to his fate, rather glad of
it but here is the vinegar" let's not take
