ACCORDING to the jamestown IN. "
Journal, there lives in the town of Har-

wife who have not exchanged words for
twenty one years. In 1S40 the husband
contradicted his better half harshly before
company, and she threatened that in
default of better behavior she would never
speak to him again. The husband replied
that he wished nothing better, and the
wife took him at his word. They have
continued to live together in this taciturn
fashion ever since, and during the long
silence have had several children. Their
intercourse is conducted in an indirect
manner through one of the children, as,
for instance, by asking child at table
will your mother have some meat ~
which is answered in the same roundabout
fashion. The couple is said to be wealthy
and to be owners OF a pretty large farm.

tyrant spell upon it-that II becomes
mute suppliant for favor, Is quiescent
and may be tumbled about at pleasure.
