A Local Romance.

TRADITION has preserved singular ar
ecdote of John Thatcher, son of one OF
the earliestssettlers of this town. He was
married in 1861, to Miss Rebecca Winslow,
of Duxbury, in Plymouth County, if we
mistake not. On his way home with his
new bride, he stopped for the night at the
house of friend, Col. GOrham, of Barn
stable, one of the most prominent citi-
zens of that town. Merriment and gayety
prevailed, and during the evening female
infant about three weeks old was in
troduced and the night of her birth being
mentioned, Mr.. Thatcher observed, This
is the very night in which we were mar,
ried," he presented it to his bride, and
iokingly said, "Here, my dear, is little
lady that was born on the same night we
were married, wish you would kiss her,
for intend TO have her for my second
wife" "I will, my dear, with great
pleasure replied she, but hope it will
be very long before your intention is full
filled in that respect"
Mr.. Thatcher and his wife lived hap
PLY together for about twenty years, and
faithfully fulfilled the scriptural injunc-
ton to multiply and replenish the earth.
Mrs. T. d ed, leaving a large family of
children, amodg whom was son named
Peter.
After Mr.. Thatcher had mourned suf-
ficient length of time, he began to think
of getting another partner. None of the
maidens, young or old, seemed to please
him like Lydia Gorham, the little lady of
the preceding part of the story, now
grown up, if we may believe tradition, to
fair and comely girl, full of gushing
life," as poets say. But there was one i'm
pediment in the way. His eldest son,
Peter, had shown a prediction for the
girl, and the old man was at a loss to de-
eide whether she favored the suit of the
sire or the son. The one rode black
horse in his visits and the other white.
There was kind of tacit agreement be-
tween the two that one should not inter
fere with the visits of the other; so when
the father found white horse tied in
front of Col. Gorham's, unlike the good
Samaritan he crossed over to the other
side; and the son, when the black horse
was there returned the favor. Thus
things went on till the patience of the old
man was well nigh exhausted, and he re-
solved upon desperate step TO decide the
matter. Taking his son one side, he said
to him; Peter, are you or are you not
going to marry Lydia Gorham" Peter
replied that he had not made up his mind.
WELL" said the old gentleman, will
make you an offer; if you will give her
up and court her no more, Twill give you
thirteen pounds in money and the black
steers. What do you say to thatY" The
young man hesitated but a moment.
S'Tis bargain" said he; and it is due
the parties to say that it was observed
by them all with perfect good faith.
Whether Lydia knew the bargaining that
her charms had occasioned, tradition
sayeth not; but she subsequently became
Mr.. Thatcher's wife, and bore him ten
children, from whom many members of
the numerous family have sprung. Our
venerable townsman, Mr.. Peter Thatcher,
is the great grandson of Peter noticed
above Yarmouth (lhass.) Register.

DIR. @. ROBERTSON, of Albany, N. Y,
at meeting of the Albany County Medi-
cal Society, spoke of the case of lady,
who, while on picnic, heard fly buz.
zing about her ears, but did not think of
the circumstance again until after the lapse
of few days, when she felt some irrita,
ton in one ear. A physician removed
some parasites with aural foroeps, which
had penetrated beyond the membrane
tympani. Sweet oil was poured into the
ear, and retained for awhile; shortly, a
maggot came TO the surface, apparently in
search of breath this gave relief for ten
minutes. More were observed, which
were extracted with the forceps. The
after treatment consisted in Swinging the
ear with warm water. The opening in the
tympanum closed and her hearing became
perfect.

The effects Of heat upon animals
have recently been the subject Of a
number Of curious experiments mnde
In France by Claude Bernard. Heat,
1t appears, when IL reaches too high q
degree, operates like poison, destroy
Ing feeling and motion, arresting the
action Of the heart and circulation, and
thus necessarily producing death. The
degree Of heat which must not be ex-
ceeded Is from lis to 120 degrees Fab
renheit for cold-blooded animals, l20
to l31 degrees for mammalia, and 140
to IA degrees for birds. In each
separate case the maximum differs by
a few degrees only from the normal
temperature Of the animals. The pre-
else action Of the heat upon the blood
is thus described : Tho blood Of an ami
nal killed by heat becomes black, and
the oxygen It contains Is rapidly trans
formed into carbonic acid, and finally
disappears. This change, however, Is
not o true toxical action, but rather an
excitement of the vital properties Of
the red particles. The black blood Of
n rabbit killed by heat Is still living,
will absorb oxygen by contact with
the air, and again will become ruddy.
Between 167 and 100 degrees, however,
the blood coagulates, loses Its vital
properties, and cannot again become
red. Above a certain degree heat kills
the muscles without killing the blood.
The chemical character of the poison
ing of the muscles by heat has not been
a%scertained, and the phenomena ac-
companying the muscular rlgidity and
abolition Of motion remain to be
analyzed.

THERE Is only n territory Of any
size, and never has been but one, occu-
pied by any considerable population,
from which woman Is absolutely ex-
cluded. Yet such a place exists to-
day, and has existed for centuries. As
far back as history reaches, to all fe-
males 1t has been forbidden ground.
This bachelors Arcadia Is situated on
q bold plateau between the old penin-
sula Of Acte, In the Grecian Archipel-
ago. and the mainland. Here, in the
midst Of cultivated fields and extensive
woodlands, dwell a monastic confeder-
alton Of Greek Christians, with % con-
vents, and numbering more than 1000
souls, and not one of the monasteries
dates from n later time than the 18th
century. A few soldiers guard tho bor-
ders Of this anti-female land, and no
woman Is allowed to cross the frontier.
Nor Is this all ; the rule is extended to
every female creature, and from time
lmmemorial, no COW, mare, hen, duck
or goose has been permitted to make
acquaintance with hill or valley Of Mt.
Athos territory. A traveller was star
tied by the abrupt question, "What
sort of human creature are women ?"
The very idea Of woman, whether as
mother, wife or sister, Is almost lost.
10 all women-haters; to bachelors Of
over 40 years. standing; to all msn
who seek refuge from tho wiles and
ways Of the opposite sex, this region
can be safely recommended as q haven
of refuge.

A LITTLE RoMANcE.-The Southern
Kansas Adcdncs says: Col. Downing,
Chief Of the Cherokee Nation, was
married some two weeks since to Miss
Ayers, a wealthy and cultivated maid
en- lady Of Philadelphia. The affair
has a splicing of romance. The lady
met the handsome Chief Then, and
until recently, n married man, some
years since in the Quaker city, and
became deeply interested In him and
his distant people. With the resolu-
ton of devoting her life and wealth to
the advancement Of the Cherokees,
she removed to Tahlequah, where she
has since lived, and where she has
been most active In promoting the re-
ligious and educational welfare of the
nation. Some years ago she adopted
young Lewis Downing, son Of the
Chief, a bright and promising boy, and
has since watched over his training
and education with moro than moth
erly care. A year ago she built, os-
tensibly for him, an elegant residence
overlooking the beautiful village, and
furnished it with artistic taste. A few
months since occurred the death of
Mrs. Downing, a full-blood Cherokee.
And now, at the proper time. the
Chief leads to the altar his old adj
mirer, and the course of true love does
smooth.

An HONEST ApMIssIOS.-The Eureka
SsntineL an honest and out-spoken
Democratic paper, lets itself loose in
the following good style:
"The shortcomings Of the Repub-
lican party will DO forgotten 70 long
rs 1t promises to do thoroughly a work
that must be done. The Republicans
claim that the Democrats are response
BILE for the Kuklux outrages. The
claim Is toe sweeping to be just, but 1t
must be remembered that the perpe-
traitors Of these outrages claim to be
Democrats, and their deeds naturally
cast a stigma on the party name. So
we say that Democrats are particularly
interested In having the outrages put
down and the perpetrators punished.
Kuvluxism, anti Orange demonstra-
tions and Tammany frauds, have al
ready cost the Democratic party the
election in several States. Gourd-
headed editors and mossy-backed
stumpers who defend such outrages In
the name Of Democracy should be
promptly read out Of the party, or at
least DO taught to walk in the rear Of
tho procession until they acquire some
thing Of the spirit Of the age. Several
antedlluvian leaders In this State
should Immediately be sent to the
ear Lire men must take the helm or

INSURANCE SrocKs.-A question In
volving the validity Of the transfer OF
certain insurance stocks, and On assess
ment levied upon the same, has been
submitted to the Fifteenth District
Court for judgment. On the 3Oth OF
October, w. AShburner sold to G. Pa
lache ten shares Of stock Of the Pacific
Insurance Company. On the goth OF
October an assessment was levied on
each share offs per cent: Mr.. Palache
presented the stock at tho office Of the
company for transfer upon the books,
but the transfer was not made because
the assessment was not paid. Mr.. Pa
lache contends that the assessment Is
illegal, null and void, and affords no
legal impeachment to the transfer OF the
shares Of stock on the company's books,
and that the officers are bound to make
the transfer. The company contends
that the assessment Is valid, legal and
binding, and until paid It Is not bound
to make the transfer. The question
for decision stands Is the assessment
valid and binding or not?
