We heard good tale on a certain slow
railroad the other day. On this road the
train was frequently delayed by cattle
upon the track. This had happened sew
eral times, but finally the locomotive came
upon clear sailing and for ten or fifteen
miles the train ra;tled along at lively
jog All of a sudden, however, the en-
CINE began lively blowing, showing that
trouble had come again. At this, one
individual, who had been watching the
trees fly past the windows. and had just
persuaded himself into the belief that he
was riding into glory at the rate of a league
at breath. jumped up with surprise and
the eiaculation "Wel Tn be hanged, if
we haven't caught up wi.h these blarsted
cattle again -

THE WRONG Man PoULuCED.-Ata a
famous and fashionable watering place, a
gentleman one night was suddenly seized
in bed with an excruciating pain in tue
stomach, which neither brandy, No. 6.
nor any other remedy could remove
His wife, after trying a number of things
in vain, and having exhausted all her
stock of remedies, left her husbands bed
side for the purpose of getting warm APP
plication Guided on her return by Il
light which she saw shining in chamber,
and which she supposed w.s the one just
left, she softly entered, and was not a lit
tie surprised to find her patient apparent
ly in deep slumber However. thinking
he might be still suffering, she gently rails
ed the bed-clothes, &c and laid the scald-
ing poultice upon a stOmach-but not the
stomach of her husband, which no sooner
touched the body of the person than he,
greatly alarmed, and writing under the
torture of the burning application, shouts
ed +: ''Hallo halo what in the name
of heaven and earth are you about %
then, with one spring from his bed, he
made for the door, and rushing down
stairs, declared, in frenzy of excitement,
that some one had poured shovel of hot
Goals upon him. The woman, overcome
with excitement and alarm, gave frantic
screams which brought husband hurriedly
III from the next room TO her rescue
The husband was so much excited, and
also so much amused with the singular
mistake and the ridiculous position of his
better half, that he forgot all his pains
but early next morning he, his wife and
trunks, left for parts unknown. The
poulticed gentleman still retains the hand
kerchief-a beautiful linen fabric, with
the lady's name on it, which he considers
of rare value.

A VERY STRANGE TALE OF THE Sea-
A Boston paper of March 25th says:
About a year ago last month the schooner
Andrew johnson, Mcclellan, master, of
Salem, started for Georges Banks on
fishing cruise, and has not been heard
from since. About that time the schooner
Haskell came in collision with a vessel in
the night time on the Banks, and sunk
her leaving large piece of the rail of the
unknown vessel on her bows. This piece
corresponded with the johnson, and is
supposed TO be the last relic of her. The
Haskell started last month for the Banks,
and The first night on the fishing grounds
had bad weather. -Four of the men were
on deck, when suddenly there appeared TO
them four of the missing men of the crew
Of the johnson, who ordered them home.
They were frightened and called the
Captain and the rest of the crew, told
them what they had seen, and prvaIled
upon them 10 give up the voyage and re-
turn home, which they did, leaving the
schooner on her arrival. The owners
then shipped new captain and crew, as
not one of the former crew would 90 In
her, and she again left for the Banks.
where she arrived in good time, and they
again tried their luck. Bad weather
again met the schooner, and when all
hands were on deck eleven men appeared
on deck and took their lines from them,
ordering them to return at once, which
they did the next morning.
Arriving off the harbor at Gloucester,
they anchored the schooner and took the
small boats to land, giving as a reason
that they were afraid to take the vessel to
Gloucester as they were ordered TO Salem.
The owners sent a tug and lowed the
Haskell TO their wharf, and now she is
reported as returning third time. This
is a strange and curious tale, but it is
vouched for by reliable parties as true.-
1t has created great deal of excitement
the ports Of Salem and Gloucester.

SALE OF THE " BENNINGTON BANNER. -
This well-known paper, with its job printing
establishment, was sold on Monday by its
owners Cook d Son, to c. A. Pierce & Co
publishers of the Manchester Journal, for
81 200 cash. We suppose the sale to have
been IN some way consequence of the polit-
zeal complications and quarrels in Benning-
ton County. Mr.. j. L. G. Cook, is a veteran
among the Vermont newspaper publishers
having been for thirty years in the ranks
and has earned the right to retire. The
main editorial charge of the paper of late
years, during which it has been much i'm
proved, has, however, rested on the junior Of
the firm, Mr.. W. Ii. Cook, who we under
stand proposes to remain in the field of
journalism. in which we wish for him q
brilliant future.-Free Press.
We cordially agree TO all the praise given
to Messrs. Cook & Son, in the above para
graph from the Free Press. The Banne,
has been a spirited, Independent, working
Republican newspaper. Mr.. W. H. Cook
has especially given it zest and raciness, al
well as marked ability. As a local news
paper it has had no superior and few equals
in the State and no public journal has beer
more strongly decided or more nearly right
in its editorial tone and character.
The Banner under its new management
will be kept fully up to its former STANDARD
of excellence, and the candor and good judg.
ment of Messrs. Pierce & Son cannot fail t.
make the Banner indispensable to the pros
perity and progress of Bennington county

A correspondent of the Rutland Herald
announces that he has left the 4" Willard
party" The reason he gives is that the
majority of the late Convention being in
favor of Mr.. WILLARD, the minority were
not allowed to control the Convention. He
is a believer doubtless in the right of minor
tiles to control majorities. There are some
forms of government where this bolter .
would be at home, but a republican govern
ment must be source of constant irritation
and boiling to him. This same =" bolter .
says that Mr.. Willard of Castleton, the Pres.
ident of the Convention, is relative of the
nominee We regret that this is not true
while at the same time the fact that it is moi
true is all the more creditable to both par.
ties, since it shows that support given to the
candidate of the Convention by this gentle
man was inspired neither by interest nor re.
