ELEVEN AND TwELvE.-It is rather
remarkable popularity of our system of
Enumeration that from ten to thirteen we
make break in the regular rule of anolo-
gy, for which there seems no explanation.
Thus We Say one, two, three, four, fve,six.
seven, eight, nine, ten, ELEVEN, TWELVE,
thirteen, fourteen. &c. Now the peculiar
ity is that though we say thirteen, or
THREE-TEN; that being the force of it.
fourteen, or FOURTEEN, and so on, we do
NOT say oNETEN and Two-TEN, but
eleven and twelve" Why is this?
The Latin system when it gets to DEcIN,
ten, goes on UNDEcIM, eleven, or oNE-TEN,
DUoDECIM, twelve; TREDECiM, thirteen,
and 50 on. The Greek has DAKA, ten
HANDEKA, eleven, or HEN, one, and DEKA
DoDEKA, twelve, and su on and the Span
ish DEE, ten ONCE, eleven, DoGE, twelve
TREcE, thirteen, &C., ST. that in each OF
these systems, when passing beyond ten,
the Enumeration gives in its etymology the
fact that the number is compound Of ten
and some other prior number. After pass
ing twelve, even our own Ian guage con-
forms to this rule but why should it skip
it in eleven and twelve? Webster thinks
eleven is A-LEFEN. or one Ia being identical
Of old with .onej left after ten, and twelve
TwA.LEFEN, two left after. Another yer
sion is that ten being even, eleven is 4
EVEN, and twelve TwA-EvEN, the being
inserted for cuphony. This gives etymol-
ogy, but not the reason of the etymology.
What is it?

In Arkansas, Elder Knapp, while bap-
Using converts at revival meeting, ad-
yanced with wiry, sharp-eyed old chap
into the water. lie asked the usual ques-
ton, whether there was any reason why
the ordinance Of baptism should not be
administered. After pause, tall, pow
erful looking chap, with an eye like a
blaze, who was leaning on long rifle and
quietly looking on, remarked Elder,
don't want to interfere in this yer business
any, but want to say that, that is an old
sinner you have got hold Of, and it you
want to get the sin out of him you'll have
to anchor him out over night in deep
water"

h Mystery.

h Mystery. .s 81
On Friday last, JOHN CoNNEKs of Me-
Gregor was SEEMING for fish in small
Slough one and half miles above Pr. du
Chen, when he drew up trunk and some
other things belonging to the land and
not to the water. The trunk is now in
Bass warehouse. 1t was found to con-
tain clothing belonging to females, several
photographs of individuals in this part
Of the country, and among others, those
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Hagerty, recently
of Giari, this county. The history of this
singular case would fill Ave columns of a
sensational sheet. We condense John
drank little heavy, went to the army,
returned, suspected his wife Of impro-
prieties, drank worse than ever. ard q
divorce ensued. He went away the wife
and children two girls and boy) re-
manned. In last November a man at
Monona, whose name we drop for the
present, moved this woman and children
to Wisconsin. About the breaking up of
the ice this spring, some fishermen Of Pr.
du CHEN dragged up q feather bed, o
shawl, some ladies shoes and other goods
recognized by friends as the property
of Mrs. Haserty. As she nor family
have been heard from it is believed some
foul play has been done. 1t was reported
on Monday that the body Of the woman,
. and that Of one of her girls, had been re-
covered by the authorities Of Prairie du
Chen; but, though search is being dill
gently made, we can hear of nothing far
Their than what is here related. Photo
graphs and letters in her trunk cover the
whole affair with fog of mystery which
is out of penetration's reach. lis the
town topic for the present. There are
stories of fading blood in large footsteps
near the place last winter, and good
many other horrible "signs," but we pre-
fer to wait little while for something
authentic. Some accident fatal to human
life doubtless happened, but it is wrong
to try and condemn young farmer for a
crime when no crime has yet been proved,
and no actual death has been legally
shown Newspapers should 60 slow if
they would secure an impartial trial by
jury" Let us wait.

Various causes have been assigned for
the appearance of warts on cows teats.
Some assert that they are always produced
BY stripping with the thumb and forefnger
when milking, instead Of using the whole

cause they can be removed, according TO
the statement Of . writer in the Boston

Of alum in pint Of soft water.

One of the few really successful enterprises OF
the day is Parker Il Cos One Dollar sa.e. Their
system offers greater opportunity for the pur-
chase Of the thousand and one useful articles,

classes, than any other.
1t is well understood fact, that certain elias
ses of goods pay the dealer very large percent
age of profit. This appears almost necessary,

Gent of any one article to make it an object OF
TRADE, and is obliged to purchase in small guam
titles and when the goods are sold by three OF

charge a very large profit, the price becomes
double the original cost of manufacture before
reaching the hands OF the people
1t is in such goods Parker Il Co., IS and loo

Gle a speciality, often buying all manufacturer
