A TEMPERANCE MATCH.-Ihe story of
Jim Smiley's frog illustrates a mania for
betting in California that makes the most
trifing incidents occasions for displaying
itself. On the 9th instant there was an ice
match at Marysville, to test the relative
virtues of two specimens of ice, n from
Little Grass Valley, the other from the
Summit. Both blocks, weighing each 131
pounds, were placed in the sun, with ven
chances, the mercury marking 80 degrees
in the shade. The Summit chunk" says
the report, ''was broad and rather fiat,
while the Grass Valley specimen was long
er, and sat on one end. Toward noon, as
the match became hot, and streams of wa
ter trickled down the faces of the antago-
nlsts, ''there was great excitement among
the friends of the respective chunks, and
bets ranged from 50 so to 500. The Sum
NIT chunk began to have the best of it.;
Grass Valley showed deep burrows, and
''came up groggy," while Summit took the
matter cOolly, and seemed confident of
victory. About the middle of the after
noon the friends of Grass Valley threw up
the sponge, and went TO betting on how
long Summit would last. 1t grew lark be-
fore the cake was meltld, and the match
against time had to be continued by the
light of lanterns. Summit beat Grass Val
ley four hours and ffty-fve minutes, about
81, 500 changing hands on the result.-Sdn

The Mistakes of a Night-AmuSing An
ecdOte of Goldsmith.
From IrEing's Life Of Goldsmith

From Irying's Life of Goldsmith.
Al amusing incident is related as occur
ring in Goldsmith's last journey homeward
from Edgeworthstown. His fathers house
was about twenty miles distant; the road
lay through a rough country, impossible
for carriages. Goldsmith procured a horse
for the journey, and a friend furnished him
with a guinea for travelling expenses. He
was but a STRIPPING of 16, and being thus
suddenly mounted on horseback, with
money in his pocket. it is no wonder that
his head was turned. He determined
to play the man and spend his money
in Independent travelling style. Ac-
cordingly, instead If pushing directly
for home, he halted for the night at the
little town of Ard igh, and accosting the
first person he met, inquired, with some
what of a consequential air, for the best
house in the place. Unluckily, the person
he had accosted was one Kelly, a notorious
wag, who was quartered IN the family OF
one Mr.. Featherstone, a gentleman of for
tune. Amused with the self-consequence OF
the STRIPPING, and willing to play a practical
joke at his expense, he directed him to
what was literally ''the best house in the
place"-namely, the family mansion of
| Mr.. Featherstone. Goldsmith according
" rode up to what he supposed to be
an inn, ordered his horse to be taken to
the stable, walked into the parlor, seated
himself by the fire, and demanded what he
could have for supper. On ordinary oc-
casions he was different and even awaken
ed in his manner; but here he was sat ease
in his inn" and felt called upon to show
his manhood and enact the experienced
traveller. His person YVES by no means
calculated to play on his p%retentions, for
he was short and thick, with a pock-marked
face and an air and carriage of by no means
distinguished cast. The owner of the
house, however, Don discovered his whim-
iscal mistake, and being a man of humor,
determined to indulge it, especially as he
accidentally learned that his intruding
guest was The son of an old acquaintance.
Accordingly Goldsmith was fooled to the
top of his bent, and permitted to have full
sway throughout the evening. Never was
school-boy more elated. When supper was
served, he most condescendingly insisted
that the landlord, his wife and daughter,
should partake, and ordered a bottle of
wine to crown the repast and benefit the
house. His last flourish was on going to
bed, when he gave especial orders to have
a hot cake at breakfast. His confusion and
dismay on discovering the next morning
that he had been staggering in his free
and-easy way in the house of aprivate gen.
tleman may be readily conceived. True to
his habit of turning the events oflife to lit
erary account, we find this chapter of ludi-
crous blunders and cross purposes dramat-
lied many years afterward in his admira-
bic comedy of She Stops to Conquer, or
the Mistakes of a Night.
