FULL BLooDEr.

The mrle stood on the steamers deck,
To land he would not tread;
They pulled the halter round his neck,
And cracked him o er the head.
Yet firm and steadfast there he stood,
As though formed for to rule;
4 critter Of heroic blood
Was that there cusscd mule.
They cussed and swore-he would not go
Until he felt inclined;
And though they shewered blow on blow,
He wouldn't change his mind.
The deck hand to th3 shore then cried,
This here mules bound 10 stay
And still upon the critters hide
With lash they fired away.
His master from the shore replied
sThe boats about to sail,
As every other means you've tried,
Suppose you tyist has tail
ats likely that will make him land,'
The deck man, brave though pale
Approached with his outsretched hand,
To twist that there mules tail.
There came sudden kick behind
The man-oh where was he?
Ask of the softly blowing wind,
The fishes in the sea
For moment there was not sound,
As that mule winked his eye,
As though to ask of those around,
snow how is that for high?''
ssCut that there mules throat right away"
The captain did command;
But the noblest critter killed that day,
Was the fearless, brave deck hand.

A Horrible Story.

The Southern part of Saratoga coun.
ty has lately been greatly excited over a
matter, the developments in regard to
which are about after this wise:
A little more than week ago, Isaac
q. Lansing, farmer, living in the town
of Halimoon, went West with a gentle
man from Viseher's Ferry to buy sheep.
Immediately after his departure most
horrible story became whispered about.
the substance of which was that Mr..
Lansing had bargained with man to
murder his wife during his absence.
When Mr.. Lansing returned, he found
the rumor rife in his neighborhood, and
at once commenced a suit for Islander
and obtained an order for the arrest of
Abram Devoe of Crescent, the author of
the story. Upon being arrested Devoe
at once made criminal complaint
against Lansing for plotting the murder
of his own wife, upon which Lansing
was arrested yesterday and arraigned
before Justice Cramer of Waterford
The examination of Lansing was at once
proceeded with, and Devoe disclosed a
state of facts which if true reveal
plot for wife murder on the part of Ian.
sing, which, in horrible and cold-blooded
details, rivals Ruloff's most damnable
crimes. Dev0e swears that more than
year ago Lansing approached him
with complaints of trouble in his fam.
lily" and proposition to Devoe to get
his wife out of the way for cousidera-
ton.
Devoe says he received the pronosi
ton tavorably, and that on the strength
OF 1t he has at various times received ia
vors from Lansing in the shape of fire
wood, ETC., and small sums of money.
Devoe also disclosed the nature of the
proposition to several persons, telling
them that he intended to make use of il
to get considerable money out of Ian
sing and finally expose him. As De
woes story goes, about two weeks ego
Lansing told him that he was about to
leave home for several days, that his
wife would be alone in the house which
is quite isolated, every night with their
two small children, and he wanted the
business done then.
Devoe relates the details of instruc-
lions which he received from Lansing,
how to enter the house through a certain
insecure window, how to make his en-.
trance noiseless, where he would find his
sleeping wife. how to find certain Jewell
~ and silver ware in various parts of
the house, which he was to take away.
and thus make it appear that plumber
was the object-also how to r. b a neigh
boris house near by, and thus make the
blind darker, and finally how Lansing

A LIVELY FUNERAL. - Under the
above head the Washington County Post
gives the following story, the scene of
which it locates in the edge of Warren
County where it joins Fort Ann: an
going to the grave little rivalry sprang
up between drivers of different teams
until finally the team with the bearers
undertook to pass the team with the
corpse. The Jehu who drove the team
containing the remains was not to be
outdone, so he piled the whip and away
they went for race. Pulling up their
horses at the end of mile the coffin
was not to be seen. 1t had iolted out.
Going back it was picked up and the
route of the procession resumed. On ar
rival at the graveyard the party was
disconnected at finding the coffin wrong
side up"

HAYES himself, 1. e., when he has no po-

his native fellow citizens-the New York
Tribune is reminded of the assurance of
Mississippi steamboat Captain to Dr..

travelling was not dangerous on the river.

How TO GET RID OF LoAFERs.
Corner loaters are the worst nuisances of
the day, staring ladies out of counte-
nance, flooding the sidewalks with tobac-
cojuiee, or filling the air with the sickIy
odor of old pipes and cheap cigars. The
merchants ofIndiana town who do business
on the corners, infested by these misera-
BILE leeches upon society, have hit upon
novel plan of getting rid of their pres
ence. After the loafers have comforta-
bly, established themselves, they hang
out pIacare inscribed, Wanted, En-.
ployment for these BOOSTERS" They
don't stay long after the sign is discov-
cred.

EFFECT OF Mr.. CoLFAx's ExAMPLE.-
The Washington correspondent of the
Brattleboro Record thus writes:
Cigar stores are complaining bitterly
of dull times since the recent illness of
Vice President Colifax. Heretofore we
have been accustomed to seeing almost
every other gentleman walking our
streets putting a cigar; and even ladies
Cor those deigning to call themselves
such) have been often seen aping the
gentlemen with cigarettes in their mouths.
Notwithstanding the Vice Presidents de-
NAL that excessive smoking was the cause
of his recent illness, people believe it was
more owing to it than any other abuse
there is much talk among the reformers
of institutiug an anti-smoking society"
