An Indiana pedngogue going to school
on a cold morning, lately, found himself
locked out by number of scholars who
were inside. He got ladder, ascended
the roof, and laid board over the top
of the chimney to smoke them out. They
took away his ladder and left him sitting
on the ridge-pole till he froze his ears
and fingers and agreed to yield to their
demands. Then they let him down.

Mississippi River, near Memphis.

death to about thirty persons, who

fierce gale was blowing. and the
flames spread SO rapidly that the
passengers had barely time to reach
the bow of the boat and JUMP into
the water before the fire was upon
them. The weather was extremely
cold, and many who jumped into
the river were Immediately drowned.
A great many survivors were picked
up by ves.'eIs coming to their assist
ance, and hey give but imperfect
and conflicting reports of the scene.
The vessel was loaded with nine hun
dred tons of merchandise, two hun

FROM INW0OD, IND.

MEssRs. EDIroRs-Sinc writing TO you
asst, there has been some very inte resting
and amusing incidents transpire in this
place and vicinity. One of the mosi
amusing ones was the company sleigh
ride that occurred on Sunday night, the
Sth ult. A party, consisting of four
couple, took notion TO go ever to Salem
to church, one and half miles south OF
this place, aud on the afternoon of said
day got horses, bells aud bob-sleds and
made ready for the drive. They landed
in front of the church door all right side
up, aud behaved IN church very well; but
when the services were over, doxology
sung and the congregation dismissed,
there was general rush made for the
door, as is always the case in the country,
and when the larger part of the people
had got out, the sleighing party had dis
persed, and left no trace behind to tell
what had become of them. About two
o'clock in the morning, however. the good
people Of the village were aroused from
their slumbers by the jingling Of bells and
loud talk in the street. In the morning
inquiry was made as to the cause of the
noise the preceding night, but no one
knew anything about il. Through the
day, however, the secret leaked out, il
being too good to keep, and is as follows:
Instead OF going home from church, the
party started west, accompanied by a
young msn of this village as servant to
drive. They drove west four and half
miles, turned north and drew up in front
of restaurant in Plymouth, and there
got out and conducted the ladies into the
parlor. The young men of the party bo.
ing rather cold, retired to the bar-rnom
in hopes of getting something to invig
crate the inner man, and, finding ii more
pleasing than otherwise, "invigora;ed' Q
little too often, at least one of them did
After looking ont for No. 1, they gallantly
proceeded to minister to The comforts o.
their fair companions, and brought somt
wine into parlor. But, alas. tickle minded
mortals; they, too, hike their compai ions
slipped the sparkling beverage more thar
was their wont to do. When the time
come to go home, they were all able t
get into tue sleigh by assisting each other
Ii so Glanced that the one who took q
little too much managed to get into thc
back seat; and Il was fortunate move
indeed, for they were not fairly on thei
way before the ''invigorated too-often
young man felt dizziness IN his head ant
a sickenipg sensation in his stomach. and
well, the reader can imagine the result
His lamentations and cries of woe to his
lady companion for her forgiveness were
; truly touching, and it is to be hoped that
when next he accompanies party of
gentlemen and Ia . on a pleasure triI
he will remember, and heed. the old
adage, Touch not. Taste not Handle
not" CARTEL Nc oNsnISE.
