ESA jolly father relates this story for
the amusement of the world:
A few weeks since, remarked to Frank,
an older son, that he might mention to the
boys of the village that | would buy what
bones they could collect, as | wished to use
them for foundation for an asparagus bed.
Willie was present, but | did not perceive

said However, few nights afterwards,

wife stood at the window watching the pro-
grcss Of the fire. Soon Willie, being ava.
koned by the unwonted noise, got out of his
cot, aud standing by his mothers side, gaz-
ed sorrowfully upon the sight before him.
After he had looked at it few moments,
suddenly Frightening up, he said:
Ma, is pa over there"
yes, my dear
'Wen, if he gets into the fire, aud is burnt
up, wont we have his bones for our aspa,

Gay y Nevada mother, thankful for the
restoration of daughter from the 'ogur,
published the fact, and gives the credit to
Hardy's bittors. She says:
My daughter Sarah Ann, who, if I do
say it, is the handsomest girl in Holt Coun-
ty, has been troubled with the chils and
fever for going on six months, and the doc
tor couldn't do her any good A bottle of
the bitters was not half gone with when the
'chils quit on her.

Mr. Parton gave her special injunction to

Greeley, he said, never touched hot biscuit
This was accordingly done, and when the
great editor sat down to supper a large sup.
ply of dry bread was placed close to his
plate. He, however, was not content with
this, but peeriug across the table in his
near-sighted way at the biscuit opposite, he
stretched out his arm and proceeded to help
himself, and actually made his meal of
them. Mrs. Parton expressed her surprise
at this, and said: why, Mr.. Greeley,
read the Tribune for so long n time that I
thought that you abominated hot bread

himself to another biscuit, do you always

Fenians--Remoyal of the Dead.

j. Boyle OReilly, who it has been said
was one of O'Neil's officers, was to-day
brought before Commissioner Rand for
completely in the Fenian raid, and no ev-
idence being brought against him was
discharged, and left for Boston. O'Reil-
ly accompanied the Fenian troops simply
as a reporter.
Rowe, who was killed in the Richards
farm fight was disinterred to-day by on
sent of the Canadians, ''and forwarded to
Burlington, where his mother resides.
The body of O'Brien who was killed
in the same engagement has also been
forwarded to his friends.
Gen. Donnelly was removed from
Franklin to ST. Adams this afternoon.
He is under arrest at the Welden House.
Thomas Murphy who was captured by
the Canadians is now in Sweetsburgh
Jail, and he will, it is thought, be set at
liberty at an early day, as no arms or
papers were found on his person.

RATHER SHARP.-At a recent town
election in Chestertown, Md, some one
hundred and fifty negroes secured the
right to vote quite ingeniously. By the
towns charter all voters are required to
be treeholders, while not more than two
or three negroes in the town owned bit
OF land. 1t happened that one black
man did own quite piece of cheap land
however, which he sold out to his color
ed friends in lots one foot square, giving
them deeds, all in due form and being
thus made freeholders their votes could
not be rejected, and the republican tick
ct was elected. The matter would not
be worthy of particular mention if it
were not for The indignation it has ar.
oused among the democrats all over the
country. The papers of that party are
not shocked at all at the immense voting
frauds in New York, which give that
state to the democrats, but that one hun
dred and fifty negroes should get the
chance to vote in Maryland by perfectly
proper means, seems to them an indica-
ton that the country is going to the dogs
with frightful celerity.-Springtield Re
publican.

calling that body, that the ordinance
was not valid, and that the people haC
elected them only that they might eek
press more emphatically their reproba
ton of the action of the council in the
premises"
1t is worthy of note that this conven
ton, though considering itself called il
an unconstitutional manner and conse
quently an unconstitutional body, had
no constitutional scruples about drawing
their pay, and though they finished their
work on Saturday they adjourned over
to Monday, SO that they could draw I'M
constitutional pay for two days more be-
sides.
The convention of 1870 assemble on
Wednesday of next week. The number
of strong or cable" men in il, does not
seem to us, equal to that Of the conven-
ton of 1850, but they have yet to do
their work, and "make their mark" and
as most of them are now ito fame un.
known if not to fortune, they may do
some wonderful thing worthy of the
fame of Vermont, and it is hoped worthy
of being the last similar body to assem-
BILE in this State.

Hint to the Convention.

If the constitutional Convention which
assemblies next week, would avoid some
of the ridicule, not to say complaint, OF
the people at some of the doings of the
two last conventions, in relation to pay
and adjournment, they must act accord
ingly, and that they may have the
lamp of experience" to guide them, we
copy below from an article in the Brat
tleboro Eagle, of Jan. II, 1850, review
ing the proceedings of that convention
who drew pay for day or two more
than they served, as follows:
+" Perhaps we ought to remark, how
ever, in justice to many members of the
Convention, that when the final adjourn
ment was fixed for Monday, it was pref
ty generally supposed that the session
could not be brought to a close before
that time; and when they did actually
get through with their labors on Friday.
they found that the debentures had been
made out up to Monday, and that a
large portion of the members had al
ready drawn their pay from the Treas
ury and started for home. In this dilem.
ma, there being no practicable way to
get back the money that had already
been disbursed, they were compelled, as
it were, to pocket their consciences and
debentures together. 1t was rather a
hard case, but as there seemed to be no
door of escape, they did it. Where is
the man who will dare make oath that
he would not have done the same under
Ike trying-circumstances."
