Of reconstruction" thicken upon us. The
Washington Potriotsays: cit is understood
that at conference solicited by President

several other gentlemen, within the last few
days, new departure has been settled
Meantime, the rumor is well founded that a

of libelling Southern communities, by col
Letting all manner Of SANDER, voluntary and
msrcenary, and solemnly accrediting it to
the people by clothing it in official charac-
ter. A special message, now ready, as al
legged, will initiate the plan. The Northern
heart is to be ''fred." Of course, the COM
mittee will be deccntly organized, and
charged with the duties of inyestigating fab
ricated "outrages," with power to send for
persons and papers. But their real function
will be to lay foundation on which to ask
the sstonished people to countcnance fresh

The STATE TAxEs.-A bill has passed
both Houses of the Legislature, and has

inc the sherif's bond, and if in bis opinion
the security thereon is insufficient, shall re-
quire new bond and if said books did not
pass into his hands before the expiration
Of bis term Of Office, then he shall give

lie the amount of the taxes and levies to be
collected by him and if any bond required

A singuIar Incident.

The Carrollton Qll) Gazette says;
"We are told q singular story by party
acquainted with the facts, with reference
to a child Of Mrs. Lizzie Walker, ol
Whitehall, the second daughter of oul
old friend, Alex. Lakin. During the
period in which Mrs. W. was enciente, she
was considerably annoyed by the visits
to her house Of strange cat, which had
made several vicious attacks on one Of
her children. Fearing that the cat would
infict some injury upon the child, she
availed herself of the first opportunity
to kill the animal. When this was pre-
sented, she caught the cat, and, to make
short work of it, she took il to the wood
pile and cut its head of, which fell be-
fore her in such a manner that she mo-
mentarily witnessed its death-grimaces.
Last week the lady gave birth to daugh-
ter, and it was discovered that the babe
did not possess the right hand On the
stub of the arm is a perfect-formed eats
face, but without ears" ...i.ri

.IN .i a
thunderstruck, as may be imagined >and
with an exclamation on tho deceit oi
man in general, left the house with de-
termination never to return. She was
grievously enraged with herself that her
good nature had been imposed upon at
the expense of her judgment.
This was the nOduso operdndi Of the
asker, as learned from his wife, who
had grown so accustomed to the peculiar
profession of her husband that she failed
evidently to see its shortcomings; the
fact of its placing them in a state of in
dependent comfort rounding off many
of the corners it might otherwise have
possessed. Early in the morning he
left his charming little residence in
lslington, aud wended his way to the
classic precincts of Shoreditch. A GER
tain house in one of the crowded streets
of that locality was his rendezvous, and
that Of his singular tribe. Here they
changed their clothing and sailed forth
on their begging and beggarly calling.
Late at night they returned, changed
their clothing again, and repaired to
their homes, where they lived-and in
fact do live now--in comparative luxury.
Mr.. Armstrong, | understand, clears
Gl50 year at his trade, which, as his
wife says, is indubitably respectable.
Besides" she adds so long as he gets
his living honestly, what does it matter
to anybody slinaq a4 ufs...,.n
The house of'this excellent couple is
scrupulously neat and clean; and proba-
bly, because John debars himself Of GER
tain comforts in the dayit is stored with
blessings for him at night. He has
solved the problem, how to live without
and indiscriminating charity is
enabling him day by day to live almost,
if not quite, at his ease. I.' roa q
